文章前言

区块链是由包含交易的区块按照时间先后顺序依次连接起来的数据结构,这种数据结构是一个形象的链表结构,所有数据有序地链接在同一条区块链上,每个区块通过一个hash指针指向前一个区块,hash指针其实是前一个区块头进行SHA256哈希计算得到的,通过这个哈希值,可以唯一的识别一个区块,然后将每个区块连接到其区块头中前一个区块哈希值代币的区块后面,从而构建出一条完整的区块链。

区块结构

区块是区块链中数据存储的最小单元,每一个区块都由"区块头"和"区块主体"两部分组成,其中区块主体用于存储交易信息,而区块头由版本号、父区块Hash值、Merkle root、时间戳、难度值、随机数等构成:

注意:下图中区块Hash是使用SHA256算法对区块头进行二次哈希得到的32位哈希值,也被称为区块头哈希值,而不是整个区块的HASH

区块数据结构定义如下(这里的hash、size、td等都是在接受和验证区块过程中产生的内容,在向全网公布的时候block就只有header和body):

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir: go-ethereum-1.10.2coretypesblock.go  L149
// Block represents an entire block in the Ethereum blockchain.
type Block struct {
  header       *Header
  uncles       []*Header
  transactions Transactions

  // caches
  hash atomic.Value
  size atomic.Value

  // Td is used by package core to store the total difficulty
  // of the chain up to and including the block.
  td *big.Int

  // These fields are used by package eth to track
  // inter-peer block relay.
  ReceivedAt   time.Time
  ReceivedFrom interface{}
}

区块头数据结构的设计如下:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2coretypesblock.go  L66
//go:generate gencodec -type Header -field-override headerMarshaling -out gen_header_json.go

// Header represents a block header in the Ethereum blockchain.
type Header struct {
  ParentHash  common.Hash    `json:"parentHash"       gencodec:"required"`
  UncleHash   common.Hash    `json:"sha3Uncles"       gencodec:"required"`
  Coinbase    common.Address `json:"miner"            gencodec:"required"`
  Root        common.Hash    `json:"stateRoot"        gencodec:"required"`
  TxHash      common.Hash    `json:"transactionsRoot" gencodec:"required"`
  ReceiptHash common.Hash    `json:"receiptsRoot"     gencodec:"required"`
  Bloom       Bloom          `json:"logsBloom"        gencodec:"required"`
  Difficulty  *big.Int       `json:"difficulty"       gencodec:"required"`
  Number      *big.Int       `json:"number"           gencodec:"required"`
  GasLimit    uint64         `json:"gasLimit"         gencodec:"required"`
  GasUsed     uint64         `json:"gasUsed"          gencodec:"required"`
  Time        uint64         `json:"timestamp"        gencodec:"required"`
  Extra       []byte         `json:"extraData"        gencodec:"required"`
  MixDigest   common.Hash    `json:"mixHash"`
  Nonce       BlockNonce     `json:"nonce"`
}

参数说明:

  • ParentHash:父区块Hash值
  • Coinbase:矿工账户地址
  • UncleHash:Block结构体的成员Uncles的RLP(递归长度前缀)哈希值
  • Root:Merkle Tree Root
  • TxHash:区块中所有交易验证结果组成的交易结果的默克尔树
  • ReceiptHash:Block中的"Receipt Trie"的根节点的RLP哈希值
  • Bloom:Bloom过滤器(Filter),用来快速判断一个参数Log对象是否存在于一组已知的Log集合中
  • Difficulty:区块的难度
  • Number:区块的序号,当前区块的Number等于其父区块Number 1
  • Time:区块被创建的时间戳,该值由共识算法确定,要么等于parentBlock.Time 10s,或者等于系统当前时间
  • GasLimit:区块内所有Gas消耗的理论上限
  • GasUsed:区块内所有Transaction执行时所实际消耗的Gas总和
  • Nonce:一个64bit的哈希数,它被应用在区块的"挖掘"阶段,并且在使用中会被修改

同时需要补充说明的一点是在比特币中区块body中的交易通过Merkle Tree的形式组织,之后将Merkle Root存储到Block header中,而在以太坊中则采用Merkle-PatricaTrie(MPT)结构,一共存在三棵树:

  • StateTrie:在StateDB中每个账户以stateObject对象表示,所有账户对象逐个插入一个Merkle-PatricaTrie(MPT)结构里,形成"state Trie"
  • Tx Trie:Block的transactions中所有的tx对象,被逐个插入一个MPT结构,形成"tx Trie"
  • Receipt Trie:Transaction执行完后会生成一个Receipt数组,数组中的所有Receipt被逐个插入一个MPT结构中,形成"Receipt Trie"

关于这三棵树我们在后续的交易部分再进行深究,这里不再研讨~

创世区块

区块链中的第一个区块被称为"创世区块",它是区块链里面所有区块的共同的祖先,当我们启动一个节点而不指定其创世区块文件(genesis.json)时,节点回尝试先从本地LevelDB数据库中加载区块信息,如果节点没有从LevelDB中获取到区块,则节点回认为自己是一个全新的节点,此时会根据硬编码的创世区块信息初始化本地链:

当然,我们也可以在启动的时候直接指定创世区块文件并通过init参数进行初始化操作,下面我们跟踪一下其具体流程

代码语言:javascript复制
./geth init <genesispath>

执行上述命令之后进入到命令解析阶段:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir: go-ethereum-1.10.2cmdgethchaincmd.go  L38
var (
  initCommand = cli.Command{
    Action:    utils.MigrateFlags(initGenesis),
    Name:      "init",
    Usage:     "Bootstrap and initialize a new genesis block",
    ArgsUsage: "<genesisPath>",
    Flags: []cli.Flag{
      utils.DataDirFlag,
    },
    Category: "BLOCKCHAIN COMMANDS",
    Description: `
The init command initializes a new genesis block and definition for the network.
This is a destructive action and changes the network in which you will be
participating.

It expects the genesis file as argument.`,
  }

之后再initGenesis中应用我们自定义的创世文件,在这里会检查创世文件的格式、是否具备读的权限、调用makeConfigNode来加载并应用全局配置信息,之后调用SetupGenesisBlock来创建创世区块:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2cmdgethchaincmd.go  L172
// initGenesis will initialise the given JSON format genesis file and writes it as
// the zero'd block (i.e. genesis) or will fail hard if it can't succeed.
func initGenesis(ctx *cli.Context) error {
  // Make sure we have a valid genesis JSON

SetupGenesisBlock代码如下所示,此时如果没有存储gensis块则提交新的块即可,此时如果Genesis为null,则加载默认主网配置,如果不为null则调用commit新建创世区块:

DefaultGenesisBlock(默认创世区块)信息如下:

// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2coregenesis.go  L338
// DefaultGenesisBlock returns the Ethereum main net genesis block.
func DefaultGenesisBlock() *Genesis {

}

提交区块:

代码语言:javascript复制
// The block is committed as the canonical head block.
func (g *Genesis) Commit(db ethdb.Database) (*types.Block, error) {
  block := g.ToBlock(db)
  if block.Number().Sign() != 0 {

新建区块

新区块是由矿工打包而成,这里我们暂时不对挖矿流程进行深究,只对挖矿过程中新区块的产生进行简要分析,这里的mainLoop是一个goroutine,它会打包新生成的交易信息到区块中,在这里会调用updateSnapshot函数(更新快照)

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2minerworker.go  L432
// mainLoop is a standalone goroutine to regenerate the sealing task based on the received event.
func (w *worker) mainLoop() {
  defer w.txsSub.Unsubscribe()
  defer w.chainHeadSub.Unsubscribe()
  defer w.chainSideSub.Unsubscribe()

  for {
    select {
    case req := <-w.newWorkCh:
      w.commitNewWork(req.interrupt, req.noempty, req.timestamp)

    case ev := <-w.chainSideCh:
      ......

    case ev := <-w.txsCh:
      // Apply transactions to the pending state if we're not mining.
      //
      // Note all transactions received may not be continuous with transactions
      // already included in the current mining block. These transactions will
      // be automatically eliminated.
      if !w.isRunning() && w.current != nil {
        // If block is already full, abort
        if gp := w.current.gasPool; gp != nil && gp.Gas() < params.TxGas {
          continue
        }
        ......
        if tcount != w.current.tcount {
          w.updateSnapshot()
        }
        ......
    // System stopped
    case <-w.exitCh:
      return
    case <-w.txsSub.Err():
      return
    case <-w.chainHeadSub.Err():
      return
    case <-w.chainSideSub.Err():
      return
    }
  }
}

updateSnapshot函数的实现如下,在这里会调用NewBlock来更新block信息也就是新区块的信息:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2minerworker.go  L705
// updateSnapshot updates pending snapshot block and state.
// Note this function assumes the current variable is thread safe.
func (w *worker) updateSnapshot() {
  w.snapshotMu.Lock()
  defer w.snapshotMu.Unlock()

  var uncles []*types.Header
  w.current.uncles.Each(func(item interface{}) bool {
    hash, ok := item.(common.Hash)
    if !ok {
      return false
    }
    uncle, exist := w.localUncles[hash]
    if !exist {
      uncle, exist = w.remoteUncles[hash]
    }
    if !exist {
      return false
    }
    uncles = append(uncles, uncle.Header())
    return false
  })

  w.snapshotBlock = types.NewBlock(
    w.current.header,
    w.current.txs,
    uncles,
    w.current.receipts,
    trie.NewStackTrie(nil),
  )
  w.snapshotState = w.current.state.Copy()
}

NewBlock如下所示,这里会更新TxHash、transactions、header.ReceiptHash、header.Bloom等区块信息:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2coretypesblock.go  L198
// NewBlock creates a new block. The input data is copied,
// changes to header and to the field values will not affect the
// block.
//
// The values of TxHash, UncleHash, ReceiptHash and Bloom in header
// are ignored and set to values derived from the given txs, uncles
// and receipts.
func NewBlock(header *Header, txs []*Transaction, uncles []*Header, receipts []*Receipt, hasher TrieHasher) *Block {
  b := &Block{header: CopyHeader(header), td: new(big.Int)}

  // TODO: panic if len(txs) != len(receipts)
  if len(txs) == 0 {
    b.header.TxHash = EmptyRootHash
  } else {
    b.header.TxHash = DeriveSha(Transactions(txs), hasher)
    b.transactions = make(Transactions, len(txs))
    copy(b.transactions, txs)
  }

  if len(receipts) == 0 {
    b.header.ReceiptHash = EmptyRootHash
  } else {
    b.header.ReceiptHash = DeriveSha(Receipts(receipts), hasher)
    b.header.Bloom = CreateBloom(receipts)
  }

  if len(uncles) == 0 {
    b.header.UncleHash = EmptyUncleHash
  } else {
    b.header.UncleHash = CalcUncleHash(uncles)
    b.uncles = make([]*Header, len(uncles))
    for i := range uncles {
      b.uncles[i] = CopyHeader(uncles[i])
    }
  }

  return b
}
区块验证

区块验证时保证区块链不产生分叉的重要手段,如果没有区块验证过程,则在同步区块的过程中节点间会产生较多的分叉,我们知道分叉会对区块链和财产安全造成极大的威胁,一般在以下四种情况下会对区块进行验证:

  1. 挖矿节点在成功挖掘到一个区块并向链上提交区块时,节点回先校验区块是否合法
  2. 用户通过API接口向节点提交区块到区块链时,节点回验证区块是否合法
  3. 同步区块时,节点收到其他节点同步过来的区块,节点会先验证同步的区块是否合法,如果合法则将其加入到本地链中
  4. 矿池中的节点向矿池提交工作时,矿池会验证矿机提交的区块

以太坊中区块的验证大体上可以分为区块头和区块体的验证,区块body的验证逻辑如下所示,它会校验给定块的叔区块并验证该块:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2coreblock_validator.go   L48
// ValidateBody validates the given block's uncles and verifies the block
// header's transaction and uncle roots. The headers are assumed to be already
// validated at this point.
func (v *BlockValidator) ValidateBody(block *types.Block) error {
    // Check whether the block's known, and if not, that it's linkable
    if v.bc.HasBlockAndState(block.Hash(), block.NumberU64()) {
        return ErrKnownBlock
    }
    // Header validity is known at this point, check the uncles and transactions
    header := block.Header()
    if err := v.engine.VerifyUncles(v.bc, block); err != nil {
        return err
    }
    if hash := types.CalcUncleHash(block.Uncles()); hash != header.UncleHash {
        return fmt.Errorf("uncle root hash mismatch: have %x, want %x", hash, header.UncleHash)
    }
    if hash := types.DeriveSha(block.Transactions(), trie.NewStackTrie(nil)); hash != header.TxHash {
        return fmt.Errorf("transaction root hash mismatch: have %x, want %x", hash, header.TxHash)
    }
    if !v.bc.HasBlockAndState(block.ParentHash(), block.NumberU64()-1) {
        if !v.bc.HasBlock(block.ParentHash(), block.NumberU64()-1) {
            return consensus.ErrUnknownAncestor
        }
        return consensus.ErrPrunedAncestor
    }
    return nil
}

VerifyUncles验证逻辑如下,在这里会验证当前区块是否最多包含由两个叔区块、收集之前的叔区块等:

代码语言:javascript复制
// VerifyUncles verifies that the given block's uncles conform to the consensus
// rules of the stock Ethereum ethash engine.
func (ethash *Ethash) VerifyUncles(chain consensus.ChainReader, block *types.Block) error {
    // If we're running a full engine faking, accept any input as valid
    if ethash.config.PowMode == ModeFullFake {
        return nil
    }
    // Verify that there are at most 2 uncles included in this block
    if len(block.Uncles()) > maxUncles {
        return errTooManyUncles
    }
    if len(block.Uncles()) == 0 {
        return nil
    }
    // Gather the set of past uncles and ancestors
    uncles, ancestors := mapset.NewSet(), make(map[common.Hash]*types.Header)

    number, parent := block.NumberU64()-1, block.ParentHash()
    for i := 0; i < 7; i   {
        ancestor := chain.GetBlock(parent, number)
        if ancestor == nil {
            break
        }
        ancestors[ancestor.Hash()] = ancestor.Header()
        for _, uncle := range ancestor.Uncles() {
            uncles.Add(uncle.Hash())
        }
        parent, number = ancestor.ParentHash(), number-1
    }
    ancestors[block.Hash()] = block.Header()
    uncles.Add(block.Hash())

    // Verify each of the uncles that it's recent, but not an ancestor
    for _, uncle := range block.Uncles() {
        // Make sure every uncle is rewarded only once
        hash := uncle.Hash()
        if uncles.Contains(hash) {
            return errDuplicateUncle
        }
        uncles.Add(hash)

        // Make sure the uncle has a valid ancestry
        if ancestors[hash] != nil {
            return errUncleIsAncestor
        }
        if ancestors[uncle.ParentHash] == nil || uncle.ParentHash == block.ParentHash() {
            return errDanglingUncle
        }
        if err := ethash.verifyHeader(chain, uncle, ancestors[uncle.ParentHash], true, true, time.Now().Unix()); err != nil {
            return err
        }
    }
    return nil
}

之后调用verifyHeader来验证区块头信息,逻辑设计如下:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2consensusethashconsensus.go  L88
// VerifyHeader checks whether a header conforms to the consensus rules of the
// stock Ethereum ethash engine.
func (ethash *Ethash) VerifyHeader(chain consensus.ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, seal bool) error {
  // If we're running a full engine faking, accept any input as valid
  if ethash.config.PowMode == ModeFullFake {
    return nil
  }
  // Short circuit if the header is known, or its parent not
  number := header.Number.Uint64()
  if chain.GetHeader(header.Hash(), number) != nil {
    return nil
  }
  parent := chain.GetHeader(header.ParentHash, number-1)
  if parent == nil {
    return consensus.ErrUnknownAncestor
  }
  // Sanity checks passed, do a proper verification
  return ethash.verifyHeader(chain, header, parent, false, seal, time.Now().Unix())
}

在上述代码中会校验区块hash是否已经存在,之后通过chain.GetHeader来获取父区块的Hash值,之后检查父区块是否存在,然后调用verifyHeader进行后续检查,具体代码如下,这里会后续检查区块头中的Extra(额外可附加数据)是否超过最大范围,之后检查区块头的时间戳、检查区块难度(根据区块时间戳和父块的难度验证块的难度的合法性)、验证gas上限、验证使用的Gas是否超过Gaslimit、gaslimit是否在允许范围之内、验证区块的编号是否是父区块 1、验证区块是否满足共识要求 、如果全部通过则验证关键的区块头字段信息以及硬分叉:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2consensusethashconsensus.go  L242
// verifyHeader checks whether a header conforms to the consensus rules of the
// stock Ethereum ethash engine.
// See YP section 4.3.4. "Block Header Validity"
func (ethash *Ethash) verifyHeader(chain consensus.ChainHeaderReader, header, parent *types.Header, uncle bool, seal bool, unixNow int64) error {
  // Ensure that the header's extra-data section is of a reasonable size
  if uint64(len(header.Extra)) > params.MaximumExtraDataSize {
    return fmt.Errorf("extra-data too long: %d > %d", len(header.Extra), params.MaximumExtraDataSize)
  }
  // Verify the header's timestamp
  if !uncle {
    if header.Time > uint64(unixNow allowedFutureBlockTimeSeconds) {
      return consensus.ErrFutureBlock
    }
  }
  if header.Time <= parent.Time {
    return errOlderBlockTime
  }
  // Verify the block's difficulty based on its timestamp and parent's difficulty
  expected := ethash.CalcDifficulty(chain, header.Time, parent)

  if expected.Cmp(header.Difficulty) != 0 {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid difficulty: have %v, want %v", header.Difficulty, expected)
  }
  // Verify that the gas limit is <= 2^63-1
  cap := uint64(0x7fffffffffffffff)
  if header.GasLimit > cap {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid gasLimit: have %v, max %v", header.GasLimit, cap)
  }
  // Verify that the gasUsed is <= gasLimit
  if header.GasUsed > header.GasLimit {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid gasUsed: have %d, gasLimit %d", header.GasUsed, header.GasLimit)
  }

  // Verify that the gas limit remains within allowed bounds
  diff := int64(parent.GasLimit) - int64(header.GasLimit)
  if diff < 0 {
    diff *= -1
  }
  limit := parent.GasLimit / params.GasLimitBoundDivisor

  if uint64(diff) >= limit || header.GasLimit < params.MinGasLimit {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid gas limit: have %d, want %d  = %d", header.GasLimit, parent.GasLimit, limit)
  }
  // Verify that the block number is parent's  1
  if diff := new(big.Int).Sub(header.Number, parent.Number); diff.Cmp(big.NewInt(1)) != 0 {
    return consensus.ErrInvalidNumber
  }
  // Verify the engine specific seal securing the block
  if seal {
    if err := ethash.verifySeal(chain, header, false); err != nil {
      return err
    }
  }
  // If all checks passed, validate any special fields for hard forks
  if err := misc.VerifyDAOHeaderExtraData(chain.Config(), header); err != nil {
    return err
  }
  if err := misc.VerifyForkHashes(chain.Config(), header, uncle); err != nil {
    return err
  }
  return nil
}

verifySeal逻辑代码如下所示:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2consensusethashconsensus.go  L490
// verifySeal checks whether a block satisfies the PoW difficulty requirements,
// either using the usual ethash cache for it, or alternatively using a full DAG
// to make remote mining fast.
func (ethash *Ethash) verifySeal(chain consensus.ChainHeaderReader, header *types.Header, fulldag bool) error {
  // If we're running a fake PoW, accept any seal as valid
  if ethash.config.PowMode == ModeFake || ethash.config.PowMode == ModeFullFake {
    time.Sleep(ethash.fakeDelay)
    if ethash.fakeFail == header.Number.Uint64() {
      return errInvalidPoW
    }
    return nil
  }
  // If we're running a shared PoW, delegate verification to it
  if ethash.shared != nil {
    return ethash.shared.verifySeal(chain, header, fulldag)
  }
  // Ensure that we have a valid difficulty for the block
  if header.Difficulty.Sign() <= 0 {
    return errInvalidDifficulty
  }
  // Recompute the digest and PoW values
  number := header.Number.Uint64()

  var (
    digest []byte
    result []byte
  )
  // If fast-but-heavy PoW verification was requested, use an ethash dataset
  if fulldag {
    dataset := ethash.dataset(number, true)
    if dataset.generated() {
      digest, result = hashimotoFull(dataset.dataset, ethash.SealHash(header).Bytes(), header.Nonce.Uint64())

      // Datasets are unmapped in a finalizer. Ensure that the dataset stays alive
      // until after the call to hashimotoFull so it's not unmapped while being used.
      runtime.KeepAlive(dataset)
    } else {
      // Dataset not yet generated, don't hang, use a cache instead
      fulldag = false
    }
  }
  // If slow-but-light PoW verification was requested (or DAG not yet ready), use an ethash cache
  if !fulldag {
    cache := ethash.cache(number)

    size := datasetSize(number)
    if ethash.config.PowMode == ModeTest {
      size = 32 * 1024
    }
    digest, result = hashimotoLight(size, cache.cache, ethash.SealHash(header).Bytes(), header.Nonce.Uint64())

    // Caches are unmapped in a finalizer. Ensure that the cache stays alive
    // until after the call to hashimotoLight so it's not unmapped while being used.
    runtime.KeepAlive(cache)
  }
  // Verify the calculated values against the ones provided in the header
  if !bytes.Equal(header.MixDigest[:], digest) {
    return errInvalidMixDigest
  }
  target := new(big.Int).Div(two256, header.Difficulty)
  if new(big.Int).SetBytes(result).Cmp(target) > 0 {
    return errInvalidPoW
  }
  return nil
}

下面在来跟踪一下VerifyForkHashes,该函数用于验证符合网络硬分叉的块是否具有正确的哈希值,以避免客户端在不同的链上断开,相关逻辑代码如下所示:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2consensusmiscforks.go  L26
// VerifyForkHashes verifies that blocks conforming to network hard-forks do have
// the correct hashes, to avoid clients going off on different chains. This is an
// optional feature.
func VerifyForkHashes(config *params.ChainConfig, header *types.Header, uncle bool) error {
  // We don't care about uncles
  if uncle {
    return nil
  }
  // If the homestead reprice hash is set, validate it
  if config.EIP150Block != nil && config.EIP150Block.Cmp(header.Number) == 0 {
    if config.EIP150Hash != (common.Hash{}) && config.EIP150Hash != header.Hash() {
      return fmt.Errorf("homestead gas reprice fork: have 0x%x, want 0x%x", header.Hash(), config.EIP150Hash)
    }
  }
  // All ok, return
  return nil
}
难度目标

因为上面的区块验证部分提及到了区块难度验证,所以我们这里简单的提一下区块难度目标,算法实现代码如下:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2consensusethashconsensus.go  L304
// CalcDifficulty is the difficulty adjustment algorithm. It returns
// the difficulty that a new block should have when created at time
// given the parent block's time and difficulty.
func (ethash *Ethash) CalcDifficulty(chain consensus.ChainHeaderReader, time uint64, parent *types.Header) *big.Int {
  return CalcDifficulty(chain.Config(), time, parent)
}

// CalcDifficulty is the difficulty adjustment algorithm. It returns

链条构建

在以太坊启动过程中会调用NewBlockChain来创建一个区块链,其调用流如下:

代码语言:javascript复制
geth ——> makeFullNode ——> RegisterEthService ——> eth.New ——> core.NewBlockChain

在使用New来创建一个以太坊示例对象时会调用到SetupGenesisBlockWithOverride来加载创世区块并获取链基本配置,调用ReadDatabaseVersion来获取DB版本、调用NewBlockChain来构建以太坊区块链、调用NewTxPool创建一个交易池、调用NewOracle来进行价格预言等:

NewBlockChain函数通过使用数据库中可用的信息返回完全初始化的块链,其主要做了以下几件事情:

  • 创建各种lru缓存(最近最少使用的算法)
  • 初始化triegc(用于垃圾回收的区块number对应的优先级队列)、stateCache、NewBlockValidator()、NewStateProcessor()、NewStateProcessor
  • NewHeaderChain()初始化区块头部链
  • bc.genesisBlock = bc.GetBlockByNumber(0) 获取创世区块
  • bc.loadLastState() 加载最新的状态数据
  • 检查本地区块链上是否有bad block,如果有调用bc.SetHead回到硬分叉之前的区块头
  • go bc.update()定时处理future block

这里的"bc.genesisBlock = bc.GetBlockByNumber(0)"用于检索创世区块是否存在,如果不存在则直接

代码语言:javascript复制
  bc.genesisBlock = bc.GetBlockByNumber(0)
  if bc.genesisBlock == nil {
    return nil, ErrNoGenesis
  }

之后判断区块数据是否为空,如果为空则调用InitDatabaseFromFreezer根据先前冻结的区块信息进行初始化一次,之后重置txIndexBlock:

代码语言:javascript复制
  if bc.empty() {
    rawdb.InitDatabaseFromFreezer(bc.db)
    // If ancient database is not empty, reconstruct all missing
    // indices in the background.
    frozen, _ := bc.db.Ancients()
    if frozen > 0 {
      txIndexBlock = frozen
    }
  }

这里的loadLastState用来加载最新区块链状态,首先获取最新的区块及其hash,之后检查DB是否为空或者损坏,如果是则调用bc.Reset重置区块链,之后确定区块头的可用性、获取最新的区块、通过日志进行记录:

代码语言:javascript复制
// loadLastState loads the last known chain state from the database. This method
// assumes that the chain manager mutex is held.
func (bc *BlockChain) loadLastState() error {
  // Restore the last known head block
  head := rawdb.ReadHeadBlockHash(bc.db)
  if head == (common.Hash{}) {
    // Corrupt or empty database, init from scratch
    log.Warn("Empty database, resetting chain")
    return bc.Reset()
  }
  // Make sure the entire head block is available
  currentBlock := bc.GetBlockByHash(head)
  if currentBlock == nil {
    // Corrupt or empty database, init from scratch
    log.Warn("Head block missing, resetting chain", "hash", head)
    return bc.Reset()
  }
  // Everything seems to be fine, set as the head block
  bc.currentBlock.Store(currentBlock)
  headBlockGauge.Update(int64(currentBlock.NumberU64()))

  // Restore the last known head header
  currentHeader := currentBlock.Header()
  if head := rawdb.ReadHeadHeaderHash(bc.db); head != (common.Hash{}) {
    if header := bc.GetHeaderByHash(head); header != nil {
      currentHeader = header
    }
  }
  bc.hc.SetCurrentHeader(currentHeader)

  // Restore the last known head fast block
  bc.currentFastBlock.Store(currentBlock)
  headFastBlockGauge.Update(int64(currentBlock.NumberU64()))

  if head := rawdb.ReadHeadFastBlockHash(bc.db); head != (common.Hash{}) {
    if block := bc.GetBlockByHash(head); block != nil {
      bc.currentFastBlock.Store(block)
      headFastBlockGauge.Update(int64(block.NumberU64()))
    }
  }
  // Issue a status log for the user
  currentFastBlock := bc.CurrentFastBlock()

  headerTd := bc.GetTd(currentHeader.Hash(), currentHeader.Number.Uint64())
  blockTd := bc.GetTd(currentBlock.Hash(), currentBlock.NumberU64())
  fastTd := bc.GetTd(currentFastBlock.Hash(), currentFastBlock.NumberU64())

  log.Info("Loaded most recent local header", "number", currentHeader.Number, "hash", currentHeader.Hash(), "td", headerTd, "age", common.PrettyAge(time.Unix(int64(currentHeader.Time), 0)))

    log.Info("Loaded last fast-sync pivot marker", "number", *pivot)
  }
  return nil
}

在bc.SetHead()方法中会调用bc.SetHeadBeyondRoot来实现具体的业务逻辑,在SetHeadBeyondRoot中的updateFn用于更新操作,delFn用于清除中间区块头所有的数据和缓存,在函数的末尾会清除缓存之后调用bc.loadLastState()重新加载本地最新状态:

// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2coreblockchain.go  L476
// SetHead rewinds the local chain to a new head. Depending on whether the node

  _, err := bc.SetHeadBeyondRoot(head, common.Hash{})
  return err
}

// SetHeadBeyondRoot rewinds the local chain to a new head with the extra condition

之后节点开始重建头块的验证数据(ethash缓存或投票快照),在这里会通过"go bc.update()"定时处理future block:

链条重置

在blockchain中提供了一个rest函数,该函数可以用于重置区块链,将其重置到传世区块,具体实现代码如下:

代码语言:javascript复制
// Reset purges the entire blockchain, restoring it to its genesis state.
func (bc *BlockChain) Reset() error {
  return bc.ResetWithGenesisBlock(bc.genesisBlock)
}

// ResetWithGenesisBlock purges the entire blockchain, restoring it to the
// specified genesis state.
func (bc *BlockChain) ResetWithGenesisBlock(genesis *types.Block) error {
  // Dump the entire block chain and purge the caches
  if err := bc.SetHead(0); err != nil {
    return err
  }
  bc.chainmu.Lock()
  defer bc.chainmu.Unlock()

  // Prepare the genesis block and reinitialise the chain
  batch := bc.db.NewBatch()
  rawdb.WriteTd(batch, genesis.Hash(), genesis.NumberU64(), genesis.Difficulty())
  rawdb.WriteBlock(batch, genesis)
  if err := batch.Write(); err != nil {
    log.Crit("Failed to write genesis block", "err", err)
  }
  bc.writeHeadBlock(genesis)

  // Last update all in-memory chain markers
  bc.genesisBlock = genesis
  bc.currentBlock.Store(bc.genesisBlock)
  headBlockGauge.Update(int64(bc.genesisBlock.NumberU64()))
  bc.hc.SetGenesis(bc.genesisBlock.Header())
  bc.hc.SetCurrentHeader(bc.genesisBlock.Header())
  bc.currentFastBlock.Store(bc.genesisBlock)
  headFastBlockGauge.Update(int64(bc.genesisBlock.NumberU64()))
  return nil
}
区块插入

InsertChain主要用于将一组区块插入数据库和规范链,在这里会通过for循环来逐个检查区块的区块号以及hash链是否连续,之后进行区块的导入操作,函数的末尾使用了go语言的waitGroup.Add(1)来增加一个需要等待的goroutine、waitGroup.Done()来减去一个需要等待的goroutine,在Done()操作之前,具有waitGroup.wait()的函数会等待某处的waitGroup.Done()执行完后再执行,这里waitGroup.wait()在blockchain.Stop()函数里,意味着如果在插入区块的时候,突然有人执行Stop()函数,那么必须要等insertChain()执行完:

代码语言:javascript复制
// filedir:go-ethereum-1.10.2coreblockchain.go  L1654
// InsertChain attempts to insert the given batch of blocks in to the canonical
// chain or, otherwise, create a fork. If an error is returned it will return
// the index number of the failing block as well an error describing what went
// wrong.
//
// After insertion is done, all accumulated events will be fired.
func (bc *BlockChain) InsertChain(chain types.Blocks) (int, error) {
  // Sanity check that we have something meaningful to import
  if len(chain) == 0 {
    return 0, nil
  }

  bc.blockProcFeed.Send(true)
  defer bc.blockProcFeed.Send(false)

  // Remove already known canon-blocks
  var (
    block, prev *types.Block
  )
  // Do a sanity check that the provided chain is actually ordered and linked
  for i := 1; i < len(chain); i   {
    block = chain[i]
    prev = chain[i-1]
    if block.NumberU64() != prev.NumberU64() 1 || block.ParentHash() != prev.Hash() {
      // Chain broke ancestry, log a message (programming error) and skip insertion
      log.Error("Non contiguous block insert", "number", block.Number(), "hash", block.Hash(),
        "parent", block.ParentHash(), "prevnumber", prev.Number(), "prevhash", prev.Hash())

      return 0, fmt.Errorf("non contiguous insert: item %d is #%d [%x…], item %d is #%d [%x…] (parent [%x…])", i-1, prev.NumberU64(),

    }
  }
  // Pre-checks passed, start the full block imports
  bc.wg.Add(1)
  bc.chainmu.Lock()
  n, err := bc.insertChain(chain, true)
  bc.chainmu.Unlock()
  bc.wg.Done()

  return n, err
}

}

在上述代码中首先会检查当前链的状态是否正在终止,如果是则直接return:

代码语言:javascript复制
  // If the chain is terminating, don't even bother starting up
  if atomic.LoadInt32(&bc.procInterrupt) == 1 {
    return 0, nil
  }

之后验证第n个区块的header和body,这里对headers、seals进行一次切片处理,之后通过abort来传递退出通道命令,使用result来传递检查结果命令,这里的bc.engine.VerifyHeaders()是一个异步操作,所以结果返回到results通道里,这是go语言实现异步的一种方式:

代码语言:javascript复制
  // Start the parallel header verifier
  headers := make([]*types.Header, len(chain))
  seals := make([]bool, len(chain))

  for i, block := range chain {
    headers[i] = block.Header()
    seals[i] = verifySeals
  }
  abort, results := bc.engine.VerifyHeaders(bc, headers, seals)
  defer close(abort)

之后调用newInsertIterator基于给定的块创建一个新的迭代器,假定这些块是一个连续的链:

代码语言:javascript复制
  // Peek the error for the first block to decide the directing import logic
  it := newInsertIterator(chain, results, bc.validator)

  block, err := it.next()

如果待插入的区块是一个已知区块,则直接忽视该区块并更新迭代器与新的block,之后再次进行校验,在这里剩余的块有可能仍然是已知的块,因为在快速同步期间,pivot point已经提交,但会发生回滚,然后node通过"rollback"将head-full块重置为较低的高度,并在数据库中保留一些已知块,当node再次运行快速同步时,它可以通过"insertChain"重新导入一批已知块,而其中一部分块的总难度高于当前head-full块(new pivot point)

代码语言:javascript复制
  // Left-trim all the known blocks
  if err == ErrKnownBlock {
    // First block (and state) is known
    //   1. We did a roll-back, and should now do a re-import
    //   2. The block is stored as a sidechain, and is lying about it's stateroot, and passes a stateroot
    //       from the canonical chain, which has not been verified.
    // Skip all known blocks that are behind us
    var (
      current  = bc.CurrentBlock()
      localTd  = bc.GetTd(current.Hash(), current.NumberU64())
      externTd = bc.GetTd(block.ParentHash(), block.NumberU64()-1) // The first block can't be nil
    )
    for block != nil && err == ErrKnownBlock {
      externTd = new(big.Int).Add(externTd, block.Difficulty())
      if localTd.Cmp(externTd) < 0 {
        break
      }
      log.Debug("Ignoring already known block", "number", block.Number(), "hash", block.Hash())
      stats.ignored  

      block, err = it.next()
    }
    // The remaining blocks are still known blocks, the only scenario here is:
    // During the fast sync, the pivot point is already submitted but rollback
    // happens. Then node resets the head full block to a lower height via `rollback`
    // and leaves a few known blocks in the database.
    //
    // When node runs a fast sync again, it can re-import a batch of known blocks via
    // `insertChain` while a part of them have higher total difficulty than current
    // head full block(new pivot point).
    for block != nil && err == ErrKnownBlock {
      log.Debug("Writing previously known block", "number", block.Number(), "hash", block.Hash())
      if err := bc.writeKnownBlock(block); err != nil {
        return it.index, err
      }
      lastCanon = block

      block, err = it.next()
    }
    // Falls through to the block import
  }

之后继续校验区块,如果区块的父区块已知但其状态不可用时,则作为侧链数据插入,如果区块是future block,将它(和所有子块)添加到future队列(未知祖先),当其他错误发生时则直接abort:

代码语言:javascript复制
  switch {
  // First block is pruned, insert as sidechain and reorg only if TD grows enough
  case errors.Is(err, consensus.ErrPrunedAncestor):
    log.Debug("Pruned ancestor, inserting as sidechain", "number", block.Number(), "hash", block.Hash())
    return bc.insertSideChain(block, it)

  // First block is future, shove it (and all children) to the future queue (unknown ancestor)
  case errors.Is(err, consensus.ErrFutureBlock) || (errors.Is(err, consensus.ErrUnknownAncestor) && bc.futureBlocks.Contains(it.first().ParentHash())):
    for block != nil && (it.index == 0 || errors.Is(err, consensus.ErrUnknownAncestor)) {
      log.Debug("Future block, postponing import", "number", block.Number(), "hash", block.Hash())
      if err := bc.addFutureBlock(block); err != nil {
        return it.index, err
      }
      block, err = it.next()
    }
    stats.queued  = it.processed()
    stats.ignored  = it.remaining()

    // If there are any still remaining, mark as ignored
    return it.index, err

  // Some other error occurred, abort
  case err != nil:
    bc.futureBlocks.Remove(block.Hash())
    stats.ignored  = len(it.chain)
    bc.reportBlock(block, nil, err)
    return it.index, err
  }

之后通过一个for循环来遍历插区块,如果此时链正在终止,则停止处理块,如果是BadBlock则终止,如果块是已知的(在链的中间),则直接跳过,之后检索父块及其最新执行状态,如果我们有一个followup块,那么在当前状态下运行它来预缓存事务:

代码语言:javascript复制
  for ; block != nil && err == nil || err == ErrKnownBlock; block, err = it.next() {
    // If the chain is terminating, stop processing blocks
    if bc.insertStopped() {
      log.Debug("Abort during block processing")
      break
    }
    // If the header is a banned one, straight out abort
    if BadHashes[block.Hash()] {
      bc.reportBlock(block, nil, ErrBlacklistedHash)
      return it.index, ErrBlacklistedHash
    }
    // If the block is known (in the middle of the chain), it's a special case for
    // Clique blocks where they can share state among each other, so importing an
    // older block might complete the state of the subsequent one. In this case,
    // just skip the block (we already validated it once fully (and crashed), since
    // its header and body was already in the database).
    if err == ErrKnownBlock {
      logger := log.Debug
      if bc.chainConfig.Clique == nil {
        logger = log.Warn
      }
      logger("Inserted known block", "number", block.Number(), "hash", block.Hash(),
        "uncles", len(block.Uncles()), "txs", len(block.Transactions()), "gas", block.GasUsed(),
        "root", block.Root())

      // Special case. Commit the empty receipt slice if we meet the known
      // block in the middle. It can only happen in the clique chain. Whenever
      // we insert blocks via `insertSideChain`, we only commit `td`, `header`
      // and `body` if it's non-existent. Since we don't have receipts without
      // reexecution, so nothing to commit. But if the sidechain will be adpoted
      // as the canonical chain eventually, it needs to be reexecuted for missing
      // state, but if it's this special case here(skip reexecution) we will lose
      // the empty receipt entry.
      if len(block.Transactions()) == 0 {
        rawdb.WriteReceipts(bc.db, block.Hash(), block.NumberU64(), nil)
      } else {
        log.Error("Please file an issue, skip known block execution without receipt",
          "hash", block.Hash(), "number", block.NumberU64())
      }
      if err := bc.writeKnownBlock(block); err != nil {
        return it.index, err
      }
      stats.processed  

      // We can assume that logs are empty here, since the only way for consecutive
      // Clique blocks to have the same state is if there are no transactions.
      lastCanon = block
      continue
    }
    ......
  }

如果上面验证均通过,则对待插入区块的交易状态进行验证,否则退出,在这里首先会从父区块读取状态,之后调用bc.processor.Process(block, state, bc.vmConfig)来执行交易,更新状态,之后对状态进行验证,看与header中的数据是否匹配

WriteBlockWithState的功能是将一个区块写入数据库和规范链,在这里首先获取父区块总难度(ptd),加上block的difficulty,计算新的total difficulty值,并写入数据库,之后调用WriteBlock(batch, block) 把block的body和header写入数据库,调用state.Commit(bc.chainConfig.IsEIP158(block.Number()))把状态写入数据库并获取到状态root,之后按规则处理bc.stateCache缓存,并清理垃圾回收器,如果发现block的父区块不是本地当前最新区块,调用bc.reorg(currentBlock, block),如果新区块比老区块td高,则把高出来的区块插入到blockChain:

完成区块的验证、添加、数据库的更新、report事件之后跳出循环,之后如果有未来区块则调用addFutureBlock检查是否超过最大允许区块处理数量上限,之后更新区块并通过for循环继续检索区块:

主要过程如下:

Step 1:找到新链和老链的共同祖先,如果老分支比新分支区块高度高,则减少老分支直到与新分支高度相同为止,同时并收集老分支上的交易和日志,如果是新分支高于老分支,则减少新分支,等到达共同高度后,去找到共同祖先(共同回退),继续收集日志和事件

代码语言:javascript复制
  // Reduce the longer chain to the same number as the shorter one
  if oldBlock.NumberU64() > newBlock.NumberU64() {
    // Old chain is longer, gather all transactions and logs as deleted ones
    for ; oldBlock != nil && oldBlock.NumberU64() != newBlock.NumberU64(); oldBlock = bc.GetBlock(oldBlock.ParentHash(), oldBlock.NumberU64()-1) {
      oldChain = append(oldChain, oldBlock)
      deletedTxs = append(deletedTxs, oldBlock.Transactions()...)
      collectLogs(oldBlock.Hash(), true)
    }
  } else {
    // New chain is longer, stash all blocks away for subsequent insertion
    for ; newBlock != nil && newBlock.NumberU64() != oldBlock.NumberU64(); newBlock = bc.GetBlock(newBlock.ParentHash(), newBlock.NumberU64()-1) {
      newChain = append(newChain, newBlock)
    }
  }
  if oldBlock == nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid old chain")
  }
  if newBlock == nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("invalid new chain")
  }
  // Both sides of the reorg are at the same number, reduce both until the common
  // ancestor is found
  for {

    oldChain = append(oldChain, oldBlock)
    deletedTxs = append(deletedTxs, oldBlock.Transactions()...)
    collectLogs(oldBlock.Hash(), true)

    newChain = append(newChain, newBlock)

    // Step back with both chains
    oldBlock = bc.GetBlock(oldBlock.ParentHash(), oldBlock.NumberU64()-1)
    if oldBlock == nil {
      return fmt.Errorf("invalid old chain")
    }
    newBlock = bc.GetBlock(newBlock.ParentHash(), newBlock.NumberU64()-1)
    if newBlock == nil {
      return fmt.Errorf("invalid new chain")

  }
  // Ensure the user sees large reorgs
  if len(oldChain) > 0 && len(newChain) > 0 {
    logFn := log.Info
    msg := "Chain reorg detected"
    if len(oldChain) > 63 {
      msg = "Large chain reorg detected"
      logFn = log.Warn
    }
    logFn(msg, "number", commonBlock.Number(), "hash", commonBlock.Hash(),
      "drop", len(oldChain), "dropfrom", oldChain[0].Hash(), "add", len(newChain), "addfrom", newChain[0].Hash())
    blockReorgAddMeter.Mark(int64(len(newChain)))
    blockReorgDropMeter.Mark(int64(len(oldChain)))

  } else {
    log.Error("Impossible reorg, please file an issue", "oldnum", oldBlock.Number(), "oldhash", oldBlock.Hash(), "newnum", newBlock.Number(), "newhash", newBlock.Hash())
  }

step 2:将新链插入到规范链中,同时收集插入到规范链中的所有交易

代码语言:javascript复制
  // Insert the new chain(except the head block(reverse order)),
  // taking care of the proper incremental order.
  for i := len(newChain) - 1; i >= 1; i-- {
    // Insert the block in the canonical way, re-writing history
    bc.writeHeadBlock(newChain[i])

    // Collect reborn logs due to chain reorg
    collectLogs(newChain[i].Hash(), false)

    // Collect the new added transactions.
    addedTxs = append(addedTxs, newChain[i].Transactions()...)
  }

step 3:之后找出待删除列表和待添加列表中的差异,删除那些不在新链上的交易在数据库中的查询入口

代码语言:javascript复制
  // Delete useless indexes right now which includes the non-canonical
  // transaction indexes, canonical chain indexes which above the head.
  indexesBatch := bc.db.NewBatch()
  for _, tx := range types.TxDifference(deletedTxs, addedTxs) {
    rawdb.DeleteTxLookupEntry(indexesBatch, tx.Hash())
  }
  // Delete any canonical number assignments above the new head
  number := bc.CurrentBlock().NumberU64()
  for i := number   1; ; i   {
    hash := rawdb.ReadCanonicalHash(bc.db, i)
    if hash == (common.Hash{}) {
      break
    }
    rawdb.DeleteCanonicalHash(indexesBatch, i)
  }
  if err := indexesBatch.Write(); err != nil {
    log.Crit("Failed to delete useless indexes", "err", err)
  }

Step 4:向外发送区块被重新组织的事件,以及日志删除事件

代码语言:javascript复制
  // If any logs need to be fired, do it now. In theory we could avoid creating
  // this goroutine if there are no events to fire, but realistcally that only
  // ever happens if we're reorging empty blocks, which will only happen on idle
  // networks where performance is not an issue either way.
  if len(deletedLogs) > 0 {
    bc.rmLogsFeed.Send(RemovedLogsEvent{mergeLogs(deletedLogs, true)})
  }
  if len(rebirthLogs) > 0 {
    bc.logsFeed.Send(mergeLogs(rebirthLogs, false))
  }
  if len(oldChain) > 0 {
    for i := len(oldChain) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
      bc.chainSideFeed.Send(ChainSideEvent{Block: oldChain[i]})
    }
  }
  return nil
