## Target Syntax
Adapted from
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/206#issue-1865172283



```rust
// NOTE: this enum is optional and is auto-generated by the other macros if not present
#[pallet::task]
pub enum Task<T: Config> {
    AddNumberIntoTotal {
        i: u32,
    }
}

/// Some running total.
#[pallet::storage]
pub(super) type Total<T: Config<I>, I: 'static = ()> =
StorageValue<_, (u32, u32), ValueQuery>;

/// Numbers to be added into the total.
#[pallet::storage]
pub(super) type Numbers<T: Config<I>, I: 'static = ()> =
StorageMap<_, Twox64Concat, u32, u32, OptionQuery>;

#[pallet::tasks_experimental]
impl<T: Config<I>, I: 'static> Pallet<T, I> {
	/// Add a pair of numbers into the totals and remove them.
	#[pallet::task_list(Numbers::<T, I>::iter_keys())]
	#[pallet::task_condition(|i| Numbers::<T, I>::contains_key(i))]
	#[pallet::task_index(0)]
	pub fn add_number_into_total(i: u32) -> DispatchResult {
		let v = Numbers::<T, I>::take(i).ok_or(Error::<T, I>::NotFound)?;
		Total::<T, I>::mutate(|(total_keys, total_values)| {
			*total_keys += i;
			*total_values += v;
		});
		Ok(())
	}
}
```

      `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");
```

      `xcm`: Change `TypeInfo::path` to not include `staging` (#1948) · f3bf5c1a
      Bastian Köcher authored 
      The `xcm` crate was renamed to `staging-xcm` to be able to publish it to
crates.io as someone as squatted `xcm`. The problem with this rename is
that the `TypeInfo` includes the crate name which ultimately lands in
the metadata. The metadata is consumed by downstream users like
`polkadot-js` or people building on top of `polkadot-js`. These people
are using the entire `path` to find the type in the type registry. Thus,
their code would break as the type path would now be [`staging_xcm`,
`VersionedXcm`] instead of [`xcm`, `VersionedXcm`]. This pull request
fixes this by renaming the path segment `staging_xcm` to `xcm`.

This requires: https://github.com/paritytech/scale-info/pull/197

      remote-ext: fix state download stall on slow connections and reduce memory usage (#1295) · 55f35442
      Liam Aharon authored 
      Original PR https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14746

---

## Fixing stall

### Introduction
I experienced an apparent stall downloading state from
`https://rococo-try-runtime-node.parity-chains.parity.io:443` which was
having networking difficulties only responding to my JSONRPC requests
with 50-200KB/s of bandwidth.

This PR fixes the issue causing the stall, and generally improves
performance remote-ext when it downloads state by greatly reducing the
chances of a timeout occuring.

### Description
Introduces a new `REQUEST_DURATION_TARGET` constant and modifies
`get_storage_data_dynamic_batch_size` to

- Increase or decrease the batch size of the next request depending on
whether the elapsed time of the last request was gt or lt the target
- Reset the batch size to 1 if the request times out

This fixes an issue on slow connections that can otherwise cause
multiple timeouts and a stalled download when:

1. The batch size increases rapidly as remote-ext downloads keys with
small associated storage values
2. remote-ext tries to process a large series of subsequent keys all
with extremely large associated storage values (Rococo has a series of
keys 1-5MB large)
3. The huge storage values download for 5 minutes until the request
times out
4. The partially downloaded keys are thrown out and remote-ext tries
again with a smaller batch size, but the batch size is still far too
large and takes 5 minutes to be reduced again
5. The download will be essentially stalled for many hours while the
above step cycles


After this PR, the request size will

- Not grow as large to begin with, as it is regulated downwards as the
request duration exceeds the target
- Drop immediately to 1 if the request times out. A timeout indicates
the keys next in line to download have extremely large storage values
compared to previously downloaded keys, and we need to reset the batch
size to figure out what our new ideal batch size is. By not resetting
down to 1, we risk the next request timing out again.

## Reducing memory

As suggested by @bkchr, I adjusted `get_storage_data_dynamic_batch_size`
from being recursive to a loop which allows removing a bunch of clones
that were chewing through a lot of memory. I noticed actually it was
using up to 50GB swap previously when downloading Polkadot keys on a
slow connection, because it needed to recurse and clone a lot.

After this change it uses only ~1.5GB memory.

      Michal Kucharczyk authored 
      

It changes following APIs:
- trait `ChainApi`
-- `validate_transaction`

- trait `TransactionPool` 
--`submit_at`
--`submit_one`
--`submit_and_watch`

and some implementation details, in particular:
- impl `Pool` 
--`submit_at`
--`resubmit_at`
--`submit_one`
--`submit_and_watch`
--`prune_known`
--`prune`
--`prune_tags`
--`resolve_block_number`
--`verify`
--`verify_one`

- revalidation queue

All tests are also adjusted.
