Extrinsic to restore corrupt staking ledgers (#3706)
This PR adds a new extrinsic `Call::restore_ledger ` gated by `StakingAdmin` origin that restores a corrupted staking ledger. This extrinsic will be used to recover ledgers that were affected by the issue discussed in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245. The extrinsic will re-write the storage items associated with a stash account provided as input parameter. The data used to reset the ledger can be either i) fetched on-chain or ii) partially/totally set by the input parameters of the call. In order to use on-chain data to restore the staking locks, we need a way to read the current lock in the balances pallet. This PR adds a `InspectLockableCurrency` trait and implements it in the pallet balances. An alternative would be to tightly couple staking with the pallet balances but that's inelegant (an example of how it would look like in [this branch](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/tree/gpestana/ledger-badstate-clean_tightly)). More details on the type of corruptions and corresponding fixes https://hackmd.io/DLb5jEYWSmmvqXC9ae4yRg?view#/ We verified that the `Call::restore_ledger` does fix all current corrupted ledgers in Polkadot and Kusama. You can verify it here https://hackmd.io/v-XNrEoGRpe7APR-EZGhOA. **Changes introduced** - Adds `Call::restore_ledger ` extrinsic to recover a corrupted ledger; - Adds trait `frame_support::traits::currency::InspectLockableCurrency` to allow external pallets to read current locks given an account and lock ID; - Implements the `InspectLockableCurrency` in the pallet-balances. - Adds staking locks try-runtime checks (https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751) **Todo** - [x] benchmark `Call::restore_ledger` - [x] throughout testing of all ledger recovering cases - [x] consider adding the staking locks try-runtime checks to this PR (https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751) - [x] simulate restoring all ledgers (https://hackmd.io/Dsa2tvhISNSs7zcqriTaxQ?view) in Polkadot and Kusama using chopsticks -- https://hackmd.io/v-XNrEoGRpe7APR-EZGhOA Related to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245 Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751 --------- Co-authored-by: command-bot <>
