      cli: enable BEEFY by default on test networks (#7293) · 035b2486
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      

We consider BEEFY mature enough to run by default on all nodes
for test networks (Rococo/Wococo/Versi).

Right now, most nodes are not running it since it's opt-in using
--beefy flag. Switch to an opt-out model for test networks.

Replace --beefy flag from CLI with --no-beefy and have BEEFY
client start by default on test networks.

      PVF: Vote invalid on panics in execution thread (after a retry) (#7155) · 82e4dbcc
      Marcin S. authored 
      

* PVF: Remove `rayon` and some uses of `tokio`

1. We were using `rayon` to spawn a superfluous thread to do execution, so it was removed.

2. We were using `rayon` to set a threadpool-specific thread stack size, and AFAIK we couldn't do that with `tokio` (it's possible [per-runtime](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/struct.Builder.html#method.thread_stack_size) but not per-thread). Since we want to remove `tokio` from the workers [anyway](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/7117), I changed it to spawn threads with the `std::thread` API instead of `tokio`.[^1]

[^1]: NOTE: This PR does not totally remove the `tokio` dependency just yet.

3. Since `std::thread` API is not async, we could no longer `select!` on the threads as futures, so the `select!` was changed to a naive loop.

4. The order of thread selection was flipped to make (3) sound (see note in code).

I left some TODO's related to panics which I'm going to address soon as part of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/7045.

* PVF: Vote invalid on panics in execution thread (after a retry)

Also make sure we kill the worker process on panic errors and internal errors to
potentially clear any error states independent of the candidate.

* Address a couple of TODOs

Addresses a couple of follow-up TODOs from
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7153.

* Add some documentation to implementer's guide

* Fix compile error

* Fix compile errors

* Fix compile error

* Update roadmap/implementers-guide/src/node/utility/candidate-validation.md

Co-authored-by: default avatarAndrei Sandu <[email protected]>

* Address comments + couple other changes (see message)

- Measure the CPU time in the prepare thread, so the observed time is not
  affected by any delays in joining on the thread.

- Measure the full CPU time in the execute thread.

* Implement proper thread synchronization

Use condvars i.e. `Arc::new((Mutex::new(true), Condvar::new()))` as per the std
docs.

Considered also using a condvar to signal the CPU thread to end, in place of an
mpsc channel. This was not done because `Condvar::wait_timeout_while` is
documented as being imprecise, and `mpsc::Receiver::recv_timeout` is not
documented as such. Also, we would need a separate condvar, to avoid this case:
the worker thread finishes its job, notifies the condvar, the CPU thread returns
first, and we join on it and not the worker thread. So it was simpler to leave
this part as is.

* Catch panics in threads so we always notify condvar

* Use `WaitOutcome` enum instead of bool condition variable

* Fix retry timeouts to depend on exec timeout kind

* Address review comments

* Make the API for condvars in workers nicer

* Add a doc

* Use condvar for memory stats thread

* Small refactor

* Enumerate internal validation errors in an enum

* Fix comment

* Add a log

* Fix test

* Update variant naming

* Address a missed TODO

      Tests can use dbg macro (#7197) · 580111dd
      Oliver Tale-Yazdi authored 
      

There is a deny(clippy::dbg_macro) in the crate root, so newer
Clippy fails here since tests use dbg.
But dbg in tests are fine IMHO.

      PVF: Don't dispute on missing artifact (#7011) · 0940cdd1
      Marcin S. authored 
      * PVF: Don't dispute on missing artifact

A dispute should never be raised if the local cache doesn't provide a certain
artifact. You can not dispute based on this reason, as it is a local hardware
issue and not related to the candidate to check.

Design:

Currently we assume that if we prepared an artifact, it remains there on-disk
until we prune it, i.e. we never check again if it's still there.

We can change it so that instead of artifact-not-found triggering a dispute, we
retry once (like we do for AmbiguousWorkerDeath, except we don't dispute if it
still doesn't work). And when enqueuing an execute job, we check for the
artifact on-disk, and start preparation if not found.

Changes:

- [x] Integration test (should fail without the following changes)
- [x] Check if artifact exists when executing, prepare if not
- [x] Return an internal error when file is missing
- [x] Retry once on internal errors
- [x] Document design (update impl guide)

* Add some context to wasm error message (it is quite long)

* Fix impl guide

* Add check for missing/inaccessible file

* Add comment referencing Substrate issue

* Add test for retrying internal errors
