Fixes for misbehavior reporting in AuthorityRound #8998

andresilva · 2018-06-27T18:08:44Z

Use the epoch set when validating
Always report on the contract (self.validators)
Use correct epoch number when reporting
Report skipped primaries when generating seal (otherwise the current sealer won't report misbehavior since it won't verify his own block)

Maybe fixes #8994 and #8065. I haven't been able to replicate so far.

+				let set_number = if self.immediate_transitions {
+					header.number()
+				} else {
+					self.epoch_set(header)?.1


Is it guaranteed that parent block is already imported when we are doing block_basic verification? If not then zooming to the epoch set will most likely fail. Would be good to have a test case for this one.

Didn't think of this, so it's possible that verify_block_basic is done in parallel and therefore the parent might not be imported yet? This verification must be done in phase 1 since we want TemporarilyInvalid errors to be emitted at this phase (otherwise it won't recover the sync process).

Yes, I believe we do that when the block is imported to the queue:
https://github.com/paritytech/parity/blob/7d7d4822a5087b24b49f2a1ddb111f2daa51a017/ethcore/src/verification/verification.rs#L62

And it seems that both Phase 1 and Phase 2 operate on individual blocks, where there is no guarantee that parent block is already imported. We can only check that in Phase 3 (hence original todo comment was saying that bening reporting should be moved further in the verification.

 		let active_set;
-		let validators = if self.immediate_transitions {
-			&*self.validators
+		let (validators, set_number) = if self.immediate_transitions {


This pattern seems to repeat couple of times, might be worth to extract it to a function?

I've refactored part of it into the epoch_set function. Unfortunately it's not easy to get the whole pattern into a function since both branches are returning different types (&ValidatorSet vs SimpleList). It could work by returning Box<ValidatorSet> from the function but I can't clone self.validators.

Test engines::authority_round::tests::reports_skipped failed.

5chdn · 2018-07-05T06:44:14Z

Could you give me an ETA?

andresilva · 2018-07-05T13:38:49Z

I think this is good to review:

Created a CowLike type to return borrowed or owned data and refactor the epoch_set duplication
Let reporting fail on verify_block_basic:
- Only authorities can report and it's expected that they'll be up-to-date and importing
- Even if you are an authority that is syncing the chain the contract will ignore old reports
- This specific check is only relevant if you're importing (since it checks against wall clock)

LGTM, a comment on why a failure of reporting is allowed would be good for the future.

Maybe add a comment why it may fail and why it's ok?
