Overview

Package chainsync tracks the state of Dingo's block-synchronization sessions with connected peers. It does not speak the Ouroboros chainsync mini-protocol directly — that lives in the ouroboros package — but holds the per-peer tracking state the rest of the node queries and mutates.

The State type tracks which connection is currently the "primary" chainsync client, observed headers per peer, stall detection timestamps, and ingress-eligibility flags. It is thread-safe and is shared by the chain selector, the ouroboros handlers, and the node's stall recycler.

Chainsync clients can enter a stalled state when a peer stops delivering headers while still holding the connection open. The node's stall recycler reads tracked-client status from this package and issues ConnectionRecycleRequestedEvent to recover.

type State 

type State struct {
	sync.Mutex
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

State manages chainsync client connections and header tracking for both server-side (N2C) and outbound (N2N) connections.

	ledgerState *ledger.LedgerState,
) *State

NewState creates a new chainsync State with the given event bus and ledger state using default configuration.

func NewStateWithConfig added in v0.22.0 

func NewStateWithConfig(
	eventBus *event.EventBus,
	ledgerState *ledger.LedgerState,
	cfg Config,
) *State

NewStateWithConfig creates a new chainsync State with the given event bus, ledger state, and configuration.

func (s *State) AddClient(
	connId connection.ConnectionId,
	intersectPoint ocommon.Point,
) (*ChainsyncClientState, error)

AddClient registers a server-side (N2C) chainsync client.

func (s *State) AddClientConnId(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) bool

AddClientConnId adds a connection ID to the set of tracked chainsync clients, enforcing the configured MaxClients limit. Returns true if the client was added, false if rejected (already tracked or at capacity). If no active client exists, this connection is automatically set as the active client. The client is recorded as outbound (StartedAsOutbound=true).

func (*State) BlockfetchLatency added in v0.38.0 

func (s *State) BlockfetchLatency(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) (time.Duration, bool)

BlockfetchLatency returns the blockfetch EWMA for the given connection and whether any samples have been recorded.

func (*State) BlockfetchLatencyMedian added in v0.39.0 

func (s *State) BlockfetchLatencyMedian() (time.Duration, int)

BlockfetchLatencyMedian returns the median EWMA latency across all tracked peers that have at least one sample, plus the sample count. Used to adapt thresholds (e.g. shadow blockfetch gating) to the observed peer population rather than a fixed cutoff.

func (*State) CheckStalledClients added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) CheckStalledClients() []ouroboros.ConnectionId

CheckStalledClients scans all tracked clients and marks any that have exceeded the stall timeout. If the primary client is stalled, a failover to the next best client is triggered. Returns the list of connection IDs that were newly marked as stalled.

func (*State) ClearObservedHeaderHistory added in v0.27.7 

func (s *State) ClearObservedHeaderHistory(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
)

func (*State) ClearSeenHeaders added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) ClearSeenHeaders()

ClearSeenHeaders removes all entries from the header deduplication cache. This should be called on rollback to avoid stale entries.

func (*State) ClearSeenHeadersFrom added in v0.27.4 

func (s *State) ClearSeenHeadersFrom(fromSlot uint64)

ClearSeenHeadersFrom removes entries from the header deduplication cache above the specified slot. This allows a restarted chainsync client to replay headers beyond a known-good intersect point after an active-peer switch without discarding older fork-detection history.

func (*State) ClientConnCount added in v0.21.0 

func (s *State) ClientConnCount() int

ClientConnCount returns the number of tracked chainsync clients.

func (*State) ClientObservabilityOnly added in v0.27.5 

func (s *State) ClientObservabilityOnly(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) (bool, bool)

ClientObservabilityOnly reports whether a tracked client is currently observability-only. The second return value reports whether the client exists.

func (*State) ClientStartedAsOutbound added in v0.35.0 

func (s *State) ClientStartedAsOutbound(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) (bool, bool)

ClientStartedAsOutbound reports whether a tracked client was registered as an outbound connection. The second return value reports whether the client exists.

func (*State) GetClientConnId 

func (s *State) GetClientConnId() *ouroboros.ConnectionId

GetClientConnId returns the active chainsync client connection ID. This is the connection that should be used for block fetching.

func (*State) GetClientConnIds added in v0.21.0 

func (s *State) GetClientConnIds() []ouroboros.ConnectionId

GetClientConnIds returns all tracked chainsync client connection IDs.

func (*State) GetTrackedClient added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) GetTrackedClient(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) *TrackedClient

GetTrackedClient returns a deep copy of the TrackedClient for the given connection ID, or nil if not found. Byte slices inside Point.Hash are cloned so the caller cannot race with concurrent UpdateClientTip calls.

func (*State) GetTrackedClients added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) GetTrackedClients() []TrackedClient

GetTrackedClients returns deep copies of all tracked clients.

func (*State) HandleClientRemoveRequestedEvent added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) HandleClientRemoveRequestedEvent(evt event.Event)

HandleClientRemoveRequestedEvent removes a tracked client when a component publishes a client removal request event.

func (*State) HasClientConnId added in v0.21.0 

func (s *State) HasClientConnId(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) bool

HasClientConnId returns true if the connection ID is being tracked.

func (*State) HeaderPreviouslySeenFromOtherConn added in v0.27.7 

func (s *State) HeaderPreviouslySeenFromOtherConn(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	point ocommon.Point,
) bool

HeaderPreviouslySeenFromOtherConn reports whether the exact header point was already recorded by a different connection. This lets the selected ingress peer replay a header first observed elsewhere without also replaying same-connection duplicates back into the ledger queue.

func (*State) LookupObservedHeader added in v0.27.7 

func (s *State) LookupObservedHeader(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	hash []byte,
) (ledger.ChainsyncEvent, []byte, bool)

LookupObservedHeader returns a previously observed header for the given connection/hash pair, along with its prev-hash ancestry.

func (*State) MarkClientSynced added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) MarkClientSynced(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
)

MarkClientSynced marks a tracked client as synced (at chain tip).

func (*State) MaxClients added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) MaxClients() int

MaxClients returns the configured maximum number of chainsync clients.

func (*State) PeersWithBlock added in v0.38.0 

func (s *State) PeersWithBlock(
	origin ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	point ocommon.Point,
) []ouroboros.ConnectionId

PeersWithBlock returns all tracked connection IDs — excluding origin — that have a recorded observed header at the given point. Callers use this to identify shadow peers for parallel blockfetch.

func (*State) PruneSeenHeaders added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) PruneSeenHeaders(beforeSlot uint64)

PruneSeenHeaders removes entries from the header deduplication cache for slots older than the given slot.

func (*State) RecordBlockfetchLatency added in v0.38.0 

func (s *State) RecordBlockfetchLatency(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	latency time.Duration,
)

RecordBlockfetchLatency updates the EWMA blockfetch latency for the given connection. Called by the ledger when the first block body arrives after a RequestRange.

func (*State) RecordObservedHeader added in v0.27.7 

func (s *State) RecordObservedHeader(e ledger.ChainsyncEvent)

RecordObservedHeader stores the raw per-connection header ancestry before cross-peer dedup can suppress delivery into the ledger queue. This lets fork resolution reconstruct the selected peer's candidate fragment even when earlier headers were first seen from another peer.

func (*State) RemoveClient 

func (s *State) RemoveClient(connId connection.ConnectionId)

RemoveClient unregisters a server-side (N2C) chainsync client.

func (*State) RemoveClientConnId 

func (s *State) RemoveClientConnId(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
)

RemoveClientConnId removes a connection from tracking. If this was the active client, promotes the client with the highest tip slot as the new primary.

func (*State) RewindTrackedClientsTo added in v0.27.7 

func (s *State) RewindTrackedClientsTo(
	point ocommon.Point,
) []ouroboros.ConnectionId

RewindTrackedClientsTo rewinds tracked client cursors that sit ahead of the provided local ledger point. This keeps chainsync client state aligned with local rollback/recovery so peers do not strand us in AwaitReply on a stale higher cursor.

func (*State) SetClientConnId 

func (s *State) SetClientConnId(connId ouroboros.ConnectionId)

SetClientConnId sets the active chainsync client connection ID. This is used when chain selection determines a new best peer.

func (*State) SetClientObservabilityOnly added in v0.27.5 

func (s *State) SetClientObservabilityOnly(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	observabilityOnly bool,
) bool

SetClientObservabilityOnly toggles whether a tracked client participates in the eligible chainsync pool. Promoting an observability-only client back into the eligible pool respects MaxClients; when the pool is full, the client remains observability-only and this method returns false.

func (*State) SetClientStartedAsOutbound added in v0.35.0 

func (s *State) SetClientStartedAsOutbound(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	startedAsOutbound bool,
) bool

SetClientStartedAsOutbound updates the recorded connection direction for an existing tracked client. This is used when a ConnectionId collision causes a new physical connection to replace an older tracked connection under the same ID.

func (*State) TryAddClientConnId added in v0.21.0 

func (s *State) TryAddClientConnId(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	maxClients int,
) bool

TryAddClientConnId atomically checks if a connection can be added (not already tracked and under maxClients limit) and adds it if allowed. Returns true if the connection was added, false otherwise.

func (*State) TryAddClientConnIdWithDirection added in v0.35.0 

func (s *State) TryAddClientConnIdWithDirection(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	maxClients int,
	startedAsOutbound bool,
) bool

TryAddClientConnIdWithDirection is like TryAddClientConnId but additionally records whether the connection was started as outbound. This is used to stamp each tracked client with its connection direction at registration time, providing a reliable flag that survives ConnectionId collisions.

func (*State) TryAddObservedClientConnId added in v0.27.5 

func (s *State) TryAddObservedClientConnId(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
) bool

TryAddObservedClientConnId adds a connection to observability-only tracking. Observability-only clients do not consume the eligible client limit and are never promoted as the active chainsync source.

func (*State) TryAddObservedClientConnIdWithDirection added in v0.35.0 

func (s *State) TryAddObservedClientConnIdWithDirection(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	startedAsOutbound bool,
) bool

TryAddObservedClientConnIdWithDirection adds a connection to observability-only tracking and records whether it was started as outbound.

func (*State) UpdateClientTip added in v0.22.0 

func (s *State) UpdateClientTip(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	point ocommon.Point,
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
) bool

UpdateClientTip updates the cursor, tip, and activity tracking for a tracked client, and performs header deduplication. Returns true if the header at this point is new (not a duplicate).

func (*State) UpdateClientTipWithoutDedup added in v0.27.5 

func (s *State) UpdateClientTipWithoutDedup(
	connId ouroboros.ConnectionId,
	point ocommon.Point,
	tip ochainsync.Tip,
)

UpdateClientTipWithoutDedup updates the cursor, tip, and activity tracking for a tracked client without recording the header in the shared dedup cache. This is used for peers that should not drive ledger ingress, so they do not suppress later delivery of the same header from an eligible peer.

type TrackedClient added in v0.22.0 

type TrackedClient struct {
	ConnId ouroboros.ConnectionId
	Cursor ocommon.Point
	Tip    ochainsync.Tip
	Status ClientStatus
	// ObservabilityOnly marks connections that should keep
	// tip/activity metrics but must not consume the eligible
	// client pool or become active for ledger ingress.
	ObservabilityOnly bool
	// StartedAsOutbound records whether the connection was
	// initiated by us (outbound). This is stamped at
	// registration time and can be refreshed only when the
	// same ConnectionId is explicitly re-registered after a
	// connmanager collision replacement.
	StartedAsOutbound bool
	LastActivity      time.Time
	HeadersRecv       uint64
	// TODO: BytesRecv needs to be wired to the underlying
	// connection's byte counter. Currently unused.
	BytesRecv uint64
	// BlockfetchLatencyEWMA is an exponential moving average
	// (alpha=0.2) of the time from RequestRange to first block
	// response. Zero means no samples recorded yet.
	BlockfetchLatencyEWMA time.Duration
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

TrackedClient holds per-connection state for a tracked chainsync client (outbound node-to-node connections).
