      rpc: backpressured RPC server (bump jsonrpsee 0.20) (#1313) · e16ef086
      Niklas Adolfsson authored 
      This is a rather big change in jsonrpsee, the major things in this bump
are:
- Server backpressure (the subscription impls are modified to deal with
that)
- Allow custom error types / return types (remove jsonrpsee::core::Error
and jsonrpee::core::CallError)
- Bug fixes (graceful shutdown in particular not used by substrate
anyway)
   - Less dependencies for the clients in particular
   - Return type requires Clone in method call responses
   - Moved to tokio channels
   - Async subscription API (not used in this PR)

Major changes in this PR:
- The subscriptions are now bounded and if subscription can't keep up
with the server it is dropped
- CLI: add parameter to configure the jsonrpc server bounded message
buffer (default is 64)
- Add our own subscription helper to deal with the unbounded streams in
substrate

The most important things in this PR to review is the added helpers
functions in `substrate/client/rpc/src/utils.rs` and the rest is pretty
much chore.

Regarding the "bounded buffer limit" it may cause the server to handle
the JSON-RPC calls
slower than before.

The message size limit is bounded by "--rpc-response-size" thus "by
default 10MB * 64 = 640MB"
but the subscription message size is not covered by this limit and could
be capped as well.

Hopefully the last release prior to 1.0, sorry in advance for a big PR

      add fallback request for req-response protocols (#2771) · f2a750ee
      Alin Dima authored 
      Previously, it was only possible to retry the same request on a
different protocol name that had the exact same binary payloads.

Introduce a way of trying a different request on a different protocol if
the first one fails with Unsupported protocol.

This helps with adding new req-response versions in polkadot while
preserving compatibility with unupgraded nodes.

The way req-response protocols were bumped previously was that they were
bundled with some other notifications protocol upgrade, like for async
backing (but that is more complicated, especially if the feature does
not require any changes to a notifications protocol). Will be needed for
implementing https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/47

TODO:
- [x]  add tests
- [x] add guidance docs in polkadot about req-response protocol
versioning

      Rework the event system of `sc-network` (#1370) · e71c484d
      Aaro Altonen authored 
      This commit introduces a new concept called `NotificationService` which
allows Polkadot protocols to communicate with the underlying
notification protocol implementation directly, without routing events
through `NetworkWorker`. This implies that each protocol has its own
service which it uses to communicate with remote peers and that each
`NotificationService` is unique with respect to the underlying
notification protocol, meaning `NotificationService` for the transaction
protocol can only be used to send and receive transaction-related
notifications.

The `NotificationService` concept introduces two additional benefits:
  * allow protocols to start using custom handshakes
  * allow protocols to accept/reject inbound peers

Previously the validation of inbound connections was solely the
responsibility of `ProtocolController`. This caused issues with light
peers and `SyncingEngine` as `ProtocolController` would accept more
peers than `SyncingEngine` could accept which caused peers to have
differing views of their own states. `SyncingEngine` would reject excess
peers but these rejections were not properly communicated to those peers
causing them to assume that they were accepted.

With `NotificationService`, the local handshake is not sent to remote
peer if peer is rejected which allows it to detect that it was rejected.

This commit also deprecates the use of `NetworkEventStream` for all
notification-related events and going forward only DHT events are
provided through `NetworkEventStream`. If protocols wish to follow each
other's events, they must introduce additional abtractions, as is done
for GRANDPA and transactions protocols by following the syncing protocol
through `SyncEventStream`.

      `sc-block-builder`: Remove `BlockBuilderProvider` (#2099) · ca5f1056
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The `BlockBuilderProvider` was a trait that was defined in
`sc-block-builder`. The trait was implemented for `Client`. This
basically meant that you needed to import `sc-block-builder` any way to
have access to the block builder. So, this trait was not providing any
real value. This pull request is removing the said trait. Instead of the
trait it introduces a builder for creating a `BlockBuilder`. The builder
currently has the quite fabulous name `BlockBuilderBuilder` (I'm open to
any better name 😅

). The rest of the pull request is about
replacing the old trait with the new builder.

# Downstream code changes

If you used `new_block` or `new_block_at` before you now need to switch
it over to the new `BlockBuilderBuilder` pattern:

```rust
// `new` requires a type that implements `CallApiAt`. 
let mut block_builder = BlockBuilderBuilder::new(client)
                // Then you need to specify the hash of the parent block the block will be build on top of
		.on_parent_block(at)
                // The block builder also needs the block number of the parent block. 
                // Here it is fetched from the given `client` using the `HeaderBackend`
                // However, there also exists `with_parent_block_number` for directly passing the number
		.fetch_parent_block_number(client)
		.unwrap()
                // Enable proof recording if required. This call is optional.
		.enable_proof_recording()
                // Pass the digests. This call is optional.
                .with_inherent_digests(digests)
		.build()
		.expect("Creates new block builder");
```

      sc-consensus-beefy: fix initialization when state is unavailable (#1888) · 646ecd0e
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      Fix situation where BEEFY initial validator set could not be determined.

If state is unavailable at BEEFY genesis block to get initial validator
set, get the info from header digests. For this, we need to walk back
the chain starting from BEEFY genesis looking for the BEEFY digest
announcing the active validator set for that respective session.

This commit fixes a silly bug where walking back the chain was stopped
when reaching BEEFY genesis block, which is incorrect when BEEFY genesis
is not session boundary block. When BEEFY genesis is set to some random
block within a session, we need to walk back to the start of the session
to see the validator set announcement.

Added regression test for this fix.

Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1885

      sc-consensus-beefy: improve gossip logic (#1852) · 83206000
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      - Remove cached messages used for deduplication in `GossipValidator`
since they're already deduplicated in upper layer `NetworkGossip`.
- Add cache for "justified rounds" to quickly discard any further (even
if potentially different) justifications at the gossip level, once a
valid one (for a respective round) is submitted to the worker.
- Add short-circuit in worker `finalize()` method to not attempt to
finalize same block multiple times (for example when we get
justifications for same block from multiple components like
block-import, gossip or on-demand).
- Change a test which had A LOT of latency in syncing blocks for some
weird reason and would only run after ~150seconds. It now runs
instantly.

      sc-consensus-beefy: fix initialization when BEEFY genesis state unavailable (#14752) · 570b2214
      Adrian Catangiu authored 
      

When BEEFY voter is initialized from scratch (no aux db persistent data present),
it needs to find BEEFY genesis block and all subsequent Mandatory blocks and
sync justifications for them.

The initialization code was getting active validator sets for these older blocks
from state, but in cases such as 'fast sync', state is unavailable.

This commit adds a fallback initialization mechanism when state is unavailable:
parse header Digests looking for validator set change log deposits.
