Initialise on-chain `StorageVersion` for pallets added after genesis (#1297)
Original PR https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14641 --- Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/109 ### Problem Quoting from the above issue: > When adding a pallet to chain after genesis we currently don't set the StorageVersion. So, when calling on_chain_storage_version it returns 0 while the pallet is maybe already at storage version 9 when it was added to the chain. This could lead to issues when running migrations. ### Solution - Create a new trait `BeforeAllRuntimeMigrations` with a single method `fn before_all_runtime_migrations() -> Weight` trait with a noop default implementation - Modify `Executive` to call `BeforeAllRuntimeMigrations::before_all_runtime_migrations` for all pallets before running any other hooks - Implement `BeforeAllRuntimeMigrations` in the pallet proc macro to initialize the on-chain version to the current pallet version if the pallet has no storage set (indicating it has been recently added to the runtime and needs to have its version initialised). ### Other changes in this PR - Abstracted repeated boilerplate to access the `pallet_name` in the pallet expand proc macro. ### FAQ #### Why create a new hook instead of adding this logic to the pallet `pre_upgrade`? `Executive` currently runs `COnRuntimeUpgrade` (custom migrations) before `AllPalletsWithSystem` migrations. We need versions to be initialized before the `COnRuntimeUpgrade` migrations are run, because `COnRuntimeUpgrade` migrations may use the on-chain version for critical logic. e.g. `VersionedRuntimeUpgrade` uses it to decide whether or not to execute. We cannot reorder `COnRuntimeUpgrade` and `AllPalletsWithSystem` so `AllPalletsWithSystem` runs first, because `AllPalletsWithSystem` have some logic in their `post_upgrade` hooks to verify that the on-chain version and current pallet version match. A common use case of `COnRuntimeUpgrade` migrations is to perform a migration which will result in the versions matching, so if they were reordered these `post_upgrade` checks would fail. #### Why init the on-chain version for pallets without a current storage version? We must init the on-chain version for pallets even if they don't have a defined storage version so if there is a future version bump, the on-chain version is not automatically set to that new version without a proper migration. e.g. bad scenario: 1. A pallet with no 'current version' is added to the runtime 2. Later, the pallet is upgraded with the 'current version' getting set to 1 and a migration is added to Executive Migrations to migrate the storage from 0 to 1 a. Runtime upgrade occurs b. `before_all` hook initializes the on-chain version to 1 c. `on_runtime_upgrade` of the migration executes, and sees the on-chain version is already 1 therefore think storage is already migrated and does not execute the storage migration Now, on-chain version is 1 but storage is still at version 0. By always initializing the on-chain version when the pallet is added to the runtime we avoid that scenario. --------- Co-authored-by: Kian Paimani <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <[email protected]>
