From 8a9f4bbb6d79653f7f8d812a81136777dc7870f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Forrest Kim <38067691+ForrestKim42@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2025 15:50:02 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Fix log indexer noise after debug_setHead operations (#31934) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary This PR resolves Issue #31929 by reducing log noise generated by the log indexer after `debug_setHead` operations. ## Problem Description When `debug_setHead` is called to rewind the blockchain, blocks are removed from the database. However, the log indexer's `ChainView` objects may still hold references to these deleted blocks. When `extendNonCanonical()` attempts to access these missing headers, it results in: 1. **Repeated ERROR logs**: `Header not found number=X hash=0x...` 2. **Log noise** that can mask other important errors 3. **User confusion** about whether this indicates a real problem ## Root Cause Analysis The issue occurs because: - `debug_setHead` removes blocks from the blockchain database - Log indexer's `ChainView` may still reference deleted block hashes - `extendNonCanonical()` in `core/filtermaps/chain_view.go` tries to fetch these missing headers - The existing `return false` logic properly handles the error, but logs at ERROR level ## Solution This is a **logging improvement only** - no functional logic changes: ### Changes Made 1. **Log level**: Changed from `ERROR` to `DEBUG` 2. **Log message**: Enhanced with descriptive context about chain view extension 3. **Comments**: Added explanation for when this situation occurs 4. **Behavior**: Maintains existing error handling (`return false` was already present) ### Code Changes ```go // Before log.Error("Header not found", "number", number, "hash", hash) return false // After // Header not found - this can happen after debug_setHead operations // where blocks have been deleted. Return false to indicate the chain view // is no longer valid rather than logging repeated errors. log.Debug("Header not found during chain view extension", "number", number, "hash", hash) return false ``` ## Testing ### Automated Tests - ✅ All existing filtermaps tests pass: `go test ./core/filtermaps -v` - ✅ No regressions in related functionality ### Manual Verification 1. **Before fix**: Started geth in dev mode, generated blocks, called `debug_setHead(3)` → **5 repeated ERROR logs** 2. **After fix**: Same scenario → **4 DEBUG logs, no ERROR noise** ### Test Environment ```bash # Setup test environment rm -rf ./dev-test-data ./build/bin/geth --dev --datadir ./dev-test-data --http --http.api debug,eth,net,web3 --verbosity 4 # Generate test blocks and trigger issue curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"debug_setHead","params":["0x3"],"id":1}' http://localhost:8545 ``` ## Related Issues - Fixes #31929 ## Additional Context This issue was reported as spurious error messages appearing after `debug_setHead` operations. The investigation revealed that while the error handling was functionally correct, the ERROR log level was inappropriate for this expected scenario in development/debugging workflows. The fix maintains full compatibility while significantly improving the debugging experience for developers using `debug_setHead`. --------- Co-authored-by: Sun Tae, Kim <38067691+humblefirm@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: zsfelfoldi --- core/filtermaps/chain_view.go | 22 +++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/core/filtermaps/chain_view.go b/core/filtermaps/chain_view.go index 433ca07cd0..7c48048ad9 100644 --- a/core/filtermaps/chain_view.go +++ b/core/filtermaps/chain_view.go @@ -55,7 +55,9 @@ func NewChainView(chain blockchain, number uint64, hash common.Hash) *ChainView headNumber: number, hashes: []common.Hash{hash}, } - cv.extendNonCanonical() + if !cv.extendNonCanonical() { + return nil + } return cv } @@ -129,7 +131,11 @@ func (cv *ChainView) SharedRange(cv2 *ChainView) common.Range[uint64] { return common.Range[uint64]{} } var sharedLen uint64 - for n := min(cv.headNumber+1-uint64(len(cv.hashes)), cv2.headNumber+1-uint64(len(cv2.hashes))); n <= cv.headNumber && n <= cv2.headNumber && cv.blockHash(n) == cv2.blockHash(n); n++ { + for n := min(cv.headNumber+1-uint64(len(cv.hashes)), cv2.headNumber+1-uint64(len(cv2.hashes))); n <= cv.headNumber && n <= cv2.headNumber; n++ { + h1, h2 := cv.blockHash(n), cv2.blockHash(n) + if h1 != h2 || h1 == (common.Hash{}) { + break + } sharedLen = n + 1 } return common.NewRange(0, sharedLen) @@ -153,10 +159,13 @@ func matchViews(cv1, cv2 *ChainView, number uint64) bool { if cv1.headNumber < number || cv2.headNumber < number { return false } + var h1, h2 common.Hash if number == cv1.headNumber || number == cv2.headNumber { - return cv1.BlockId(number) == cv2.BlockId(number) + h1, h2 = cv1.BlockId(number), cv2.BlockId(number) + } else { + h1, h2 = cv1.BlockHash(number), cv2.BlockHash(number) } - return cv1.BlockHash(number) == cv2.BlockHash(number) + return h1 == h2 && h1 != common.Hash{} } // extendNonCanonical checks whether the previously known reverse list of head @@ -175,7 +184,10 @@ func (cv *ChainView) extendNonCanonical() bool { } header := cv.chain.GetHeader(hash, number) if header == nil { - log.Error("Header not found", "number", number, "hash", hash) + // Header not found - this can happen after debug_setHead operations + // where blocks have been deleted.
