Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved flash synchronization by preventing duplicate requests and correctly handling deferred block-height requests.
    • Fixed chain response tracking to avoid treating valid responses as unsolicited.
    • IPv6-disabled configurations now consistently skip IPv6 peer addresses.
    • Added clearer warnings when host resolution produces no usable addresses.

Walkthrough

The PR adds flash-sync request tracking and deferred-height callbacks. It also updates peer address resolution to honor the node’s IPv6 setting, skip unsupported IPv6 results, and log resolution outcomes.

Changes

Flash synchronization tracking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flash state and request selection
src/cryptonote_basic/connection_context.h, src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl
The connection context tracks pending flash work and requested heights. Flash selection avoids duplicate in-flight requests and records deferred work.
Flash request timing and deferred callback
src/cryptonote_protocol/cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl
Chain request timestamps are recorded before requests. Capped flash responses schedule a callback for deferred heights.

IPv6 peer filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Address resolution contract and wiring
src/p2p/net_node.inl
append_net_address accepts use_ipv6. All command-line, seed, fallback seed, and peer parsing call sites pass m_use_ipv6.
IPv6 filtering and resolution reporting
src/p2p/net_node.inl
IPv6 endpoints are skipped when disabled. The resolver counts added and skipped addresses and warns when no usable address is added.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 6bf05

The change can allow a node configured for exclusive peers to connect elsewhere and can cause later flash data to be skipped indefinitely. These are concrete network-isolation and synchronization correctness issues, so the PR is not ready to merge until addressed.

Poem

A rabbit tracks each height in flight

And skips old paths that lost their light
When capped, more hops wait in line
IPv6 paths fade when flags decline
Logs bloom softly: sync is fine

Clear the stale in-flight marker when a checksum matches.

When process_payload_sync_data() sees a matching local checksum, it erases context.m_flash_state at Line [451] but does not erase context.m_flash_heights_requested. If the peer later advertises a new checksum, the insertion path at Lines [456]-[457] leaves the old marker in place, so Lines [191]-[192] skip the height indefinitely. The node can miss later flash data for that height until it becomes immutable. Clear the height in the matching-checksum branch.

Proposed fix
         if (it != our_flash_hashes.end() && it->second == hash)
         { // Matches our hash already, great
           context.m_flash_state.erase(height);
+          context.m_flash_heights_requested.erase(height);
           continue;
         }

Preserve exclusive-peer mode when all addresses are filtered.

When an --add-exclusive-node hostname resolves only to IPv6 and m_use_ipv6 is false, this path returns success with no usable address. parse_peers_and_add_to_container then adds nothing, so m_exclusive_peers remains empty. connections_maker treats that state as disabled exclusive-peer mode and proceeds with ordinary peer discovery. The node can connect outside the configured exclusive set.

Distinguish successful DNS resolution from having at least one usable peer. Keep the non-fatal behavior for ordinary seed resolution, but reject or preserve the exclusive-peer state when no usable exclusive address remains.
