Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Storage now uses a six-digit format for segment filenames, supporting a wider range of segment numbers.
    • Existing data in the previous four-digit format is migrated during the storage upgrade, so it can continue to be used with the updated format.
    • Segment sizing is tailored to the type of stored data.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Persistable types define per-segment capacities, and segment filenames use six-digit zero-padding. A new version-2 migration converts legacy four-digit segment files across four storage folders. The migration runner applies V2Migrator, and filename expectations and parser tests reflect the updated format.

Changes

Storage Segment Migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Segment capacities and filename format
dash-spv/src/storage/segments.rs, dash-spv/src/storage/filters.rs
Persistable types define segment capacities, and segment filenames use six-digit padding. Parser tests and the filter filename expectation use the updated format.
Version-2 legacy segment migration
dash-spv/src/storage/migrator/v2.rs, dash-spv/src/storage/migrator/mod.rs
V2Migrator discovers four-digit legacy segments, splits their contents into type-specific segments, stages and moves the new files, and deletes the legacy files. The migration runner sets the current version to 2 and registers V2Migrator after V1Migrator.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 163f7

Resolve truncated-item handling before merging: an incomplete legacy item is silently discarded during migration rather than triggering corruption recovery. Segment capacities, sentinel layouts, and migration ordering otherwise appear compatible.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 163f7

The migration preserves item positions, but interrupted conversion can trigger deletion of the wider storage directory rather than resume safely. Truncated legacy records can also be accepted before their source files are deleted. Existing access locks and staged writes reduce some risks, but do not make the upgrade transactional.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: V2 publishes converted files individually before deleting legacy files. Interruption between these operations can leave mixed formats; the next migration treats that state as corruption and clears the broader storage root. This weakens upgrade recoverability and failure containment despite preserving staged files until publication.
  • Low · reliability · inferred: If a legacy file ends inside a record, V2 treats UnexpectedEof as successful end-of-input, publishes only preceding records, and deletes the original file. This permanently removes the partial source bytes without reporting corruption. Existing EOF tolerance and atomic normal writes constrain exposure, but do not provide source-preserving migration recovery.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Corruption recovery has authority to remove every regular file and every non-log directory under the configured storage root. Its scope therefore exceeds the four converted segment folders and includes co-located metadata and masternode storage.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — In the inspected block caller, peer-derived blocks must match requested hashes and have a stored-header height before persistence. PersistentBlockStorage writes typed items into the fixed blocks folder; segment filenames are generated from numeric IDs rather than peer-supplied paths. These controls and the caller are unchanged from base.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Normal segment writes use synchronized temporary files and atomic replacement, reducing the expected occurrence of partial legacy records. Nevertheless, V2 does not distinguish clean EOF from EOF after consuming part of a record, and its source deletion makes that distinction important for recovery.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use a recoverable migration commit protocol that retains legacy data until publication is durably complete. Distinguish partial-record EOF from clean EOF, and reject unsupported newer versions without clearing the storage root.

Every segment cache held 50 000 items, whatever an item costs. Near the
tip a block segment holds tens of MB of decoded blocks, while a header
segment spanning the same heights is 5.6 MB and a filter header one
1.6 MB. `Persistable::ITEMS_PER_SEGMENT` lets each type choose: headers
10 000 (~1.1 MB per segment), filter headers 50 000 (~1.6 MB), filters
2 000 (~2 MB near the tip) and blocks 1 000.

This changes the on-disk layout of the header, filter and block
segments. Storage written with 50 000-item segments is misread by this
layout and has to be deleted until a migration or a versioned folder
lands.

Mainnet restore, mainnet.100mbi.100ms, #1015/#1016/#1014 applied, two
resident segments, jemalloc heap profiling, wallet identical in every
run (14114383 sat, 7112 records, 13389 addresses):

  segment items           time          peak RSS      segment caches
  50 000 for every type   7.0 min       818 MiB       332 MiB
  5 000 for every type    7.3-8.3 min   554-687 MiB   23-106 MiB
  1 000 for every type    9.2-12.2 min  453-577 MiB   2-66 MiB
  per type (this commit)  7.5 min       538 MiB       38 MiB

With 1 000 items everywhere, the header and filter header phases paid an
fsync per evicted segment (105-141 s and 254-332 s instead of ~60 s and
~150 s). Blocks at 500 items saved ~18 MiB of cache but reloaded 50 %
more block segments.

Nothing outside `storage` implements or names the trait, and the
`segments` module it lives in is private to `storage` already.

Storage version 2. Segment files move from 50_000 items each to the
per-type sizes (block headers 10_000, filter headers 50_000, filters
2_000, blocks 1_000), and segment ids in file names are padded to 6
digits instead of 4, since the smaller segments push ids past 9999.

The migration keeps its own frozen copy of the legacy and new layouts
(names, items per segment, item encodings and sentinels) and copies raw
item bytes, so it does not depend on the storage code as it evolves.

Each folder is rebuilt in <storage>/tmp/<folder>, swapped in through
tmp/<folder>.old, and tmp/ is removed before the next folder, so the
extra disk space at any time is one folder. An interrupted run either
finishes the swap or rebuilds the folder from the untouched legacy files.

New segments holding only sentinels are not written: an all-sentinel
segment with the highest id would make load_or_new report no tip.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…check

Recovery no longer tracks a swap state: the migration deletes
<storage>/tmp on start, migrates every folder that still holds 4-digit
segment files and skips folders that only hold 6-digit ones. Staged
segments are moved into the folder file by file and the legacy files are
deleted last, so every 6-digit file in a folder is complete and rebuilding
from the remaining legacy files reproduces the same files.

The sentinel check looks at one field per item type (version i32::MAX for
headers and blocks, an all-zero filter header, an empty filter). It is
still needed: on a dev V1 mainnet storage the last new filters segment is
all sentinels, and writing it made the client load a filter tip of 0 and
download every filter again from height 200000.

Checked on that storage (synced by dev to 2547714): the client resumes
at the tip, every new file equals its slice of the legacy file and every
skipped slice is only sentinels, and a SIGKILL mid-migration followed by
a restart yields identical files. Blocks skip 771 of 2350 segments
(523 -> 443 MiB).

…olders as corruption

Each folder is migrated by its own tokio task, and inside it
WORKERS_PER_FOLDER spawn_blocking workers split the legacy segments
(worker n takes legacy ids n, n + 4, ...). The split stays the
streaming, blocking code: reading whole legacy files through tokio::fs
would hold up to ~600 MB at once (filters files reach 61 MB, blocks
88 MB).

Recovery is now: delete <storage>/tmp on start, skip folders that only
hold 6-digit segment files, and return Corruption for a folder holding
both 4-digit and 6-digit files, which wipes the storage.

On a dev V1 mainnet storage (cold page cache, this server) the
migration took 41-46 s sequentially and 4-17 s now. Almost all of it is
the per-file fsync, which stays: without it the whole migration takes
~2 s because writes only reach the page cache, and the legacy files are
deleted right after. Deferring the fsyncs until all files are written
was slower. Bytes were verified against the legacy files, a SIGKILL
mid-migration followed by a restart migrates correctly, and a mixed
folder wipes the storage and syncs again from the checkpoint.

`read_item` took every `UnexpectedEof` as the clean end of a legacy segment,
including one hit after part of an item was read. The truncated segment was
then migrated and its legacy file deleted, losing the tail silently. Only an
EOF before the first byte of an item ends the segment now; anything else is
`MigratorError::Corruption`, which clears the storage for a resync.
