Alastria Network · Full sync failed · GoQuorum v2.6.0 (and following) #1107

Closed alejandroalffer closed 2 years ago

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

I'm testing uploading the Alastria Quorum (v1.8.18) to new version (v2.7.0 and v20.10.0).

But the chain syncronization fails, in full mode. Fast mode finish right.

We use the well-know genesis node for Alastria node:

https://github.com/alastria/alastria-node/blob/testnet2/data/genesis.json

And the command line looks like:

geth --datadir /root/alastria/data --networkid 83584648538 --identity VAL_DigitelTS_T_2_8_01 --permissioned --cache 10 --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.0 --rpcapi admin,db,eth,debug,miner,net,shh,txpool,personal,web3,quorum,istanbul --rpcport 22000 --port 21000 --istanbul.requesttimeout 10000 --ethstats VAL_DigitelTS_T_2_8_01:bb98a0b6442386d0cdf8a31b267892c1@netstats.telsius.alastria.io:80 --verbosity 3 --emitcheckpoints --targetgaslimit 8000000 --syncmode full --gcmode full --vmodule consensus/istanbul/core/core.go=5 --debug --vmdebug --nodiscover --mine --minerthreads 2

But can't get past block 8597100. It happens in these both version upgrades we are testing:

> admin.nodeInfo.name
"Geth/VAL_DigitelTS_T_2_8_01/v1.9.7-stable-6005360c(quorum-v2.7.0)/linux-amd64/go1.15.2"

"Geth/VAL_DigitelTS_T_2_8_01/v1.9.7-stable-af752518(quorum-v20.10.0)/linux-amd64/go1.15.2"

The log its almost the same in both versions:

This problem does not happen with the current stable Alastria version: the full syncronization finish right:

Geth/VAL_DigitelTS_T_2_8_00/v1.8.18-stable(quorum-v2.2.2)/linux-amd64/go1.9.5

Is necessary to be able to recreate the chain in full mode before in order to upgrade the network clients.

@alejandroalffer I see references to go1.15.2, making me presume that you have been compiling from sources, could you please instead use either

Then retry and let us know if the issue persists.

Thanks

In fact, current geth version is compiled from sources, in a Dockerized ubuntu:18.04

Hi!

The problem keeps while full syncing using the provided binary :-( . Using fast mode, everything finish in the right way

@nmvalera , do you think that we have the same problem with the chain as we have showed you on the issue: #1108?

I'm pretty sure the problem it's diferent: this one it's about syncing a new node in the full-way mode, and the @carlosho17 issue it's related with the new storage model for chain database

SatpalSandhu61 commented 3 years ago

Looking at the logs I notice that you haven't cleared the freezer db:

INFO [01-16|08:48:01.963] Opened ancient database                  database=/root/alastria/data/geth/chaindata/ancient

So you're getting the BAD BLOCK on the first block your node is trying to download during the sync (block 8597101). It may be worthwhile performing freezer delete in addition to the chaindb removal. So that you start with a completely clean node.

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Thank you for the answer, @SatpalSandhu61. The problem persist after a clean up of the chaindb:

The logs starts in the incorrect number, after restarting geth, only for a make it smaller.

SatpalSandhu61 commented 3 years ago

I believe you may not have fully understood my comment regarding clearing the freezer db. Please read the section on freezer, which was introduced with the merge from v1.9.7 upstream geth:https://blog.ethereum.org/2019/07/10/geth-v1-9-0/

Hi

just to recap on this issue for the Alastria Quorum Network.

We all stumble upon a certain block when using geth 1.9.7 that yields this message

DEBUG[01-15|11:28:01.360] Downloaded item processing failed number=8597101 hash=e4a2d7…49b2e5 err="invalid merkle root (remote: 0f6d6606b447b6fd26392f999e84be08fdf8b71f956b83116017dbb371ea1f1a local: 8a6cab008e2572a774a3c1eadc36269fa65662471c088652853db94e38ff8e59)"

We have spent last weeks trying all scenarios (fast and full sync, erasing whole data directory and reinitializing with geth init preserving nodekey, fresh new installations, different Ubuntu versions, Quorum tgz package, in-place compilation with Go 1.15 and 1.13 , etc). These tests have been performed not only by us Core Team but also by regular members.

The result is always the same: It is block 8597101 where newer quorum finds a bad merkle root and stops syncing.

Our workaround is: install older version , let it sync past beyond block 8597101, and then switch to quorum 20.10.x . There is a second workaround which is start fresh but with a copy of the chain past beyond the bad block.

What we would like to know if the finding of a bad merkle-root by the quorum 20.10.x is a feature or a bug.

Thank you

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

The problem still persists anyway in the new version 21.1.0: the sync process stop forever in block 8597100, using full mode.

We are using a new database, starting the sync from scratch. The problem is repeated in all cases:

I have created a new log file with the last lines: they are repeated forever.

In order to progress with this problem, we could allow an enode adress in for developers to do their own testing.

The Alastria ecosystem, with more than 120 nodes, is pending this issue to proceed with the version migration.

Hi, you stated "We are using a new database, starting the sync from scratch.". However, as per my earlier response - please confirm that in addition to removing the chaindb that you are also deleting the freezer db. The freezer db is not deleted when you perform a geth init. I suggest you read the section "Freezer tricks" in the geth 1.9 release notes.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the invalid merkle root error usually occurs if there is a db corruption or inconsistency. This is an issue in upstream geth, here are a few examples of issues raised for this:

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Hi @SatpalSandhu61, thanks for the feedback,

I promise the directory was empty. However, I have repeated the process, on a newly created path, and the problem repeats: full sync mode hangs at block 8597100.

I have considered the issues linked, and it seems that it's related with a problem in some versions of geth official, and that it is solved as of version 1.9.23-Stable. However, GoQuorum 21.01 is based on v1.9.7; a long way from getting to the version that could fix the problem.

One last consideration: this is a permanent error, and always reproducible. Alastria has more than 100 active nodes, and the migration process to GoQuorum 20.xx / 21.xx is pending the results of these tests: any help will be appreciated.

@alejandroalffer

  1. Would it be possible to share some history of the network migrations with

    • GoQuorum version the network was running (including commit hashes)
    • different upgrades operations the network went through
    • etc.
  2. Could you test to full-sync a node from scratch using lower GoQuorum versions (using official binaries) and let us know what is the highest GoQuorum version that passes block 8597100. I would recommend starting with GoQuorum v2.5.0 (which is the latest GoQuorum version based on Geth 1.8.18)

Thanks a lot.

cmoralesdiego commented 3 years ago

Thanks @nmvalera , we will start to share what you say next week.

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Hi @nmvalera ,

thanks for the feedback.

  1. Most of the nodes in Alastria Network are running:
Geth/v1.8.18-stable(quorum-v2.2.3-0.Alastria_EthNetstats_IBFT)/linux-amd64/go1.9.5

So far, there have been no updates since that version: only a few nodes are still on version 1.8.2. In fact, we are working on a renewal of the network, in which it is a fundamental part to take advantage of the advantages of the new versions of GoQuorum: bug fixes, monitoring, ...

  1. I've tested the binary versions listed in https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum/releases, and the "full sync" starts failing in version v2.6.0

nmvalera commented 3 years ago

Thanks this helps a lot.

Can you do the following:

In the meantime, we will dig into the error.

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Thanks @nmvalera!

Yes! We've have already tested the proposed workarround: once the database it's fully syncronized (with a version previous of v2.6.0), the binary can be upgraded without problem (just minor changes for metrics arguments). It also works for a direct upgrade from v2.5.0 to v21.1.0.

Please, keep the effort in searching for a solution: we are looking that the new Alastria partners can perform a direct synchronization of the nodes in full mode to maintain the "trust" of the network, using lastest versions of GoQuorum.

nmvalera commented 3 years ago

Thanks, we are discussing this internally and we will keep you updated (we may require some more information from you at some point, we'll let you know).

chris-j-h commented 3 years ago

@alejandroalffer please also review the migration docs for upgrading from earlier versions of Quorum to 2.6.0 and above. Bad block can sometimes be caused by not setting istanbulBlock and petersburgBlock in the genesis.json so it will be good to eliminate that as a possibility.

(EDIT) To summarise, please try a full sync with istanbulBlock and petersburgBlock in genesis.json so we can eliminate the possibility that this is the cause of the bad block. For now you can set them to some abritrary block very far in the future. The values can be updated later when you have an idea of when the network will be ready to move to these forks.

nmvalera commented 3 years ago

@alejandroalffer Could you please confirm that the version that you are looking to migrate from

Geth/v1.8.18-stable(quorum-v2.2.3-0.Alastria_EthNetstats_IBFT)/linux-amd64/go1.9.5

is not an official GoQuorum version but I imagine an Alastria's own custom fork?

Thanks.

Hi @nmvalera , we are going to give you feedback next week on the early week. Thanks in advance

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Hi @nmvalera , @cmoralesdiego

Sorry for the delay. I've tried to restart the synchronization in full mode using different values for the istanbulBlock parameter, but always with the same result: the process stops in the block of hell ;-)

root@alastria-01:/home/iadmin# diff /root/genesis.json-original /root/genesis.json

I've tryed some values... from setting it to 0 or the last one, over the block 8597101, with the same result

The logs shows hundred of messages like VM returned with error err="evm: execution reverted" prior of failure

On the other hand, there was a fork for Alastria network, with minor updates in order to improve reporting in EthNetStats, but later versions, based on the same version of geth and new releases of GoQuorum finish the synchronization in full mode without problem:

Geth v1.8.18 · GoQuorum v2.2.3 - Alastria version, finish
Geth v1.8.18 · GoQuorum v2.4.0 - Official version, finish
Geth v1.8.18 · GoQuorum v2.5.0 - Official version, finish
Geth v1.9.7 · GoQuorum v2.6.0 - Official version, fails
Geth v1.9.7 · GoQuorum v20.10.0 - Official version, fails
Geth v1.9.7 · GoQuorum v21.1.0 - Official version, fails

IMHO, the problem appears in upgrade from Geth1.8.18 to Geth1.9.7

Best regards!

@alejandroalffer from your log I see

INFO [02-22|10:56:30.757] Initialised chain configuration          config="{ChainID: 83584648538 Homestead: 0 DAO: <nil> DAOSupport: false EIP150: 0 EIP155: 0 EIP158: 0 Byzantium: 0 IsQuorum: true Constantinople: <nil> TransactionSizeLimit: 64 MaxCodeSize: 0 Petersburg: <nil> Istanbul: <nil> PrivacyEnhancements: <nil> Engine: istanbul}"
  1. Petersburg: <nil> Istanbul: <nil> suggests your updated genesis is not being used. Please make sure you run geth init /path/to/updated/genesis.json to apply the genesis updates before attempting a resync.

As a comparison, I see the following in my logs when starting a node with these values set in my genesis.json:

INFO [02-23|10:49:35.554] Initialised chain configuration          config="{ChainID: 720 Homestead: 0 DAO: <nil> DAOSupport: false EIP150: 0 EIP155: 0 EIP158: 0 Byzantium: 0 IsQuorum: true Constantinople: 100 TransactionSizeLimit: 64 MaxCodeSize: 0 Petersburg: 100 Istanbul: 100 PrivacyEnhancements: <nil> Engine: istanbul}"
  1. In addition to setting istanbulBlock and petersburgBlock, you may want to try also setting constantinopleBlock.

  2. To be clear, the values you set for these fork blocks should be a future block, otherwise you will be processing old transactions with the new protocol features these settings enable.

(EDIT: 24 Feb) See the sample genesis in quorum-examples for an example of how to configure these fork blocks.

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the feedback, @chris-j-h:

You were right: i've been using istanbulBlock, petersburgBlock parameters inside istanbul {} object. I've repeated the test in config {} object adding constantinopleBlock, as suggested, with different values... the last one far away from the end of the chain with the same result: the sync process fails in full mode:

@alejandroalffer as you noted earlier your logs have a large number of VM returned with error "evm: execution reverted" msgs when doing a full sync.

There are also quite a few other VM returned with error msgs (see full list below)

Do you see any of these when doing a full sync from block 0 with your current Alastria version or pre-v2.6.0 Quorum?

count VM returned with error
11940 "evm: execution reverted"
190 "out of gas"
126 "stack underflow (0 <=> 1)"
23 "evm: max code size exceeded"
21 "contract creation code storage out of gas"
6 "stack underflow (0 <=> 13)"
55 "invalid opcode 0x1b"
21 "invalid opcode 0xfe"
20 "invalid opcode 0x4f"
16 "invalid opcode 0x1c"
9 "invalid opcode 0x27"
7 "invalid opcode 0xef"
6 "invalid opcode 0xa9"
3 "invalid opcode 0xd2"
3 "invalid opcode 0xda"

Hi!

I've used GoQuorum v2.5.0: the last version in which full synconization finish right. As you know, its based in Geth v1.8.18.

The "bad block" is reached and passed, and the logs in VM returned with error seems quite similar in format and in number:

These values should be a future block that hasn't been seen yet. In an earlier comment you said you set the values to 100,000,000. That should fix your problem.

Hi @alejandroalffer

  1. Block 8,597,101 contains 2 txs sent to 0x4F541bab8aD09638D28dAB3b25dafb64830cE96C which both execute method 0xd30528f2 (from the tx input).

    I was unable to get a list of all txs to this contract on your block explorer. Do you know if this is the first block where this method on the contract is executed?

  2. Does your network only use public transactions?

Let’s try and track down exactly where the state is deviating from what is expected:

If you can share each of these outputs we can do some comparisons and see where the state is deviating.

If you run into any problems it may be easier to discuss on the Quorum Slack. Feel free to msg me if needed.

alejandroalffer commented 3 years ago

Hi @chris-j-h , and the rest of GoQuorum team...

Answering the questions, i make a summary:

1) I wasn't able to execute debug.dumpBlock('0x832e6c') as suggested. The access to the command its allowed only from RCP (because of a bug in consoles). Both GoQuorum 1.8.18 and GoQuorum 2.5 the process hangs after 5-7 minutes waiting, despite 24Gb dedicated servers

2) The input transaction for 8597101 block seems the same in both versions...

  1. The two related transactions are gotted from: https://blkexplorer1.telsius.alastria.io/transaction/0x7cf2cb779e66bbcbed4d9bc1c4dc67654fc55fd6904f768be8d9bf6f8bbb81d0 (thanks, @cmoralesdiego). The trasaccion it's executed after and before named block.

Keep in touch!

Thanks again!

Hi!

I update the status of the issue with the news of this week, to share it with the Alastria and Conensys teams.

We made some search in the chaindb (thanks for the snippet, @chris-j-h), in order to find if the method used in the badblock, 0xd30528f2

for (i = 1; i < 9999999; i++) {
    hexBlockNumber = "0x" + i.toString(16)
    txs = eth.getBlockByNumber(hexBlockNumber, true).transactions
    for (j = 0; j < txs.length; j++) {
        if (txs[j].input.slice(0, 10) == "0xd30528f2") {
            console.log("tx calling method 0xd30528f2 found in block " + i)
        }
    }
}

The result it's that this trasacction appears several blocks behind, for 657 in total:

tx calling method 0xd30528f2 found in block 7809408
[...]
tx calling method 0xd30528f2 found in block 9231310

It seems that this transaction it's not related with the synchronization problem :-(

As resume, by @chris-j-h:

[...] we’ve done a lot of investigations so far to identify the cause of the diverging state and unfortunately not had much luck. to summarise some of the results: • dump full state using API to compare: state is too large, results in out-of-memory error and crashes node • dump just state for the contract called by the transactions in block 8597101: bug in API for pre-2.6.0 quorum, doesn’t cover any contracts that might be called by the initial contract • transactions to the same contract method have been called previously so there is nothing inherently broken with the contract due to the quorum upgrade [...]

We'll keep searching for the out-of-memory crashes in order the get the results from RPC API:

debug.dumpAddress('0x4F541bab8aD09638D28dAB3b25dafb64830cE96C', '0x832e6c') and debug.dumpAddress('0x4F541bab8aD09638D28dAB3b25dafb64830cE96C', '0x832e6d')

And this references:

Any other suggestion will be also appreciated

Thanks again @chris-j-h!

antonydenyer commented 2 years ago

I'm assuming this has been fixed now, feel free to re-open if that is not the case

lastperson commented 2 years ago

It is not the case, I'm facing the same issue in a different quorum network.

antonydenyer commented 2 years ago

Can you raise a fresh ticket with genesis and param details. Along with the exact version it stopped working at.

lastperson commented 2 years ago

Root cause identified (at least one of the consensus issues that cause invalid merkle[state] root error): Quorum version 2.1.0 marks account as dirty every time object is created: https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum/blob/99a83767ccf0384a3b58d9caffafabb5b49bd73c/core/state/statedb.go#L407-L408

Quorum version 2.7+ and at least up to version 21.10.2 marks account as dirty only if it was NOT deleted in the same block: It still has a comment "newobj.setNonce(0) // sets the object to dirty", but that function doesn't mark obj as dirty anymore, instead it happens in the journal.append, but only for creation of object, not resetting: https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum/blob/cd11c38e7bc0345a70ef85a8b085e7755bb0ee78/core/state/statedb.go#L695-L701

In our case bug manifested due to multiple ecrecover's in the same block. After the first call to 0x1 account it is added to the state, then removed after the transaction as empty (same behavior for both nodes). After the second call to 0x1 account, it is added to the state, then in the old node it is marked as dirty and removed after the tx, while the newer node does not mark it as dirty, and leaves it in the state, which results in the different final states.

And if someone will stumble here looking for a fix, here it is: https://github.com/ConsenSys/quorum/compare/master...Ambisafe:quorum:21.10.2-fix

antonydenyer commented 2 years ago

@lastperson good spot - do you want to submit a pull request?

lastperson commented 2 years ago

@antonydenyer I'am now checking if the latest node will sync with the fixed version, or if it has the same issue. If it will have the same issue, then I guess this fix could only be introduced as a fork configuration.
