fix(p2p): correlate NOTIFY responses with prior requests; cap flash heights - #198
fix(p2p): correlate NOTIFY responses with prior requests; cap flash heights#198raw391 wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
…eights Four NOTIFY handlers in cryptonote_protocol_handler.inl accept incoming messages without verifying correlation against pending requests. handle_response_get_blocks at line 1216 derefs context.m_last_request_time without checking it; an unsolicited NOTIFY_RESPONSE_GET_BLOCKS reaches that line and crashes the daemon. Adds per-request correlation tokens: - m_requested_objects (existing) for GET_BLOCKS (must be non-empty) - m_requested_objects (existing) for CHAIN_ENTRY (must be empty; chain responses do not consume a pending block-response timer) - new m_requested_flash_heights field on connection_context populated at the NOTIFY_REQUEST_BLOCK_FLASHES send-site for BLOCK_FLASHES responses - CURRENCY_PROTOCOL_MAX_OBJECT_REQUEST_COUNT cap on NOTIFY_REQUEST_BLOCK_FLASHES heights

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR caps flash requests and tracks pending responses, but a missing response can stall subsequent synchronization indefinitely, while deferred heights may not be retried after a response. This can leave peer flash synchronization incomplete, so follow-up or explicit owner acceptance is needed before merge. Suggested reviewers: Poem

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Cap outbound flash-height requests to the same 500-item protocol limit.
process_payload_sync_data() still accepts up to 1000 advertised flash heights (Lines 391-394), but this path sends every needed height in a single NOTIFY_REQUEST_BLOCK_FLASHES. Once r.heights.size() exceeds CURRENCY_PROTOCOL_MAX_OBJECT_REQUEST_COUNT, a patched peer will reject our request in handle_request_block_flashes() and disconnect us. Batch the request here or leave the overflow heights pending for a follow-up request.

Capped the sender to match the receiver limit. Overflow heights stay flagged in m_flash_state rather than re-arming m_need_flash_sync here, since the flags aren't cleared until a response lands and re-arming would re-request the in-flight batch.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@raw391, the cap itself is correct, and I agree that immediately re-arming m_need_flash_sync would risk re-requesting the in-flight batch.
However, the overflow is not currently guaranteed a follow-up: on the next unchanged flash advertisement, an existing m_flash_state entry takes the else continue path, so it does not set m_need_flash_sync again. Those overflow heights can therefore remain flagged indefinitely unless that peer advertises a different checksum.
A follow-up should be scheduled only after the current batch is resolved, while ensuring the next request excludes heights already in m_requested_flash_heights (or otherwise tracks completed/requested batches separately).
The receiver already drops connections that request more than CURRENCY_PROTOCOL_MAX_OBJECT_REQUEST_COUNT flash heights. Cap the sender so a node with a large flash backlog cannot exceed the limit in a single request and get dropped by a peer that enforces it. Overflow heights stay flagged in m_flash_state and are re-requested when the peer next advertises a changed flash set.

Only send a NOTIFY_REQUEST_BLOCK_FLASHES when no request is already pending. A new advertisement re-arms m_need_flash_sync and re-fires on_callback, so a second request could be built while the first was still in flight; both share one m_requested_flash_heights set, so the first response clears it and the second response finds it empty and drops the connection. Gating the send on an empty pending set keeps a single request in flight, so every response correlates. Skipped heights stay flagged in m_flash_state and go out on the next sync round.

Re-arm flash synchronization after a capped request completes.
The cap leaves overflow heights flagged in m_flash_state, but the current path does not guarantee a follow-up request. After handle_response_block_flashes() clears m_requested_flash_heights, an unchanged advertisement reaches the else continue path in process_payload_sync_data() and does not set m_need_flash_sync again. Heights discovered while another request is pending can be stranded in the same way.
Preserve deferred work and schedule a callback after the current response, or re-arm m_need_flash_sync for needed heights that are not part of the completed request.
