go-ethereum发起与执行交易的流程
在geth控制台使用如下命令来发起转账交易：
personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0])
eth.sendTransaction({from:eth.accounts[0],to:eth.accounts[1],value:web3.toWei(200,"ether")})将执行到txpool.go的validateTx()函数进行交易验证,验证项目包括交易大小、交易Gas、账户余额检查等。
func (pool *TxPool) validateTx(tx *types.Transaction, local bool) error {
// Heuristic limit, reject transactions over 32KB to prevent DOS attacks
if tx.Size() > 320*1024 {//lzj change from 32 to 320
return ErrOversizedData
}
// Transactions can't be negative. This may never happen using RLP decoded
// transactions but may occur if you create a transaction using the RPC.
if tx.Value().Sign() < 0 {
return ErrNegativeValue
}
// Ensure the transaction doesn't exceed the current block limit gas.
if pool.currentMaxGas < tx.Gas() {
return ErrGasLimit
}
// Make sure the transaction is signed properly
from, err := types.Sender(pool.signer, tx)
if err != nil {
return ErrInvalidSender
}
// Drop non-local transactions under our own minimal accepted gas price
local = local || pool.locals.contains(from) // account may be local even if the transaction arrived from the network
if !local && pool.gasPrice.Cmp(tx.GasPrice()) > 0 {
return ErrUnderpriced
}
// Ensure the transaction adheres to nonce ordering
if pool.currentState.GetNonce(from) > tx.Nonce() {
return ErrNonceTooLow
}
// Transactor should have enough funds to cover the costs
// cost == V + GP * GL
if pool.currentState.GetBalance(from).Cmp(tx.Cost()) < 0 {
return ErrInsufficientFunds
}
intrGas, err := IntrinsicGas(tx.Data(), tx.To() == nil, pool.homestead)
if err != nil {
return err
}
if tx.Gas() < intrGas {
return ErrIntrinsicGas
}
return nil
}然后在tx_pool.go中的promoteExecutables()函数中进行进一步检查：
func (pool *TxPool) promoteExecutables(accounts []common.Address) {
// Gather all the accounts potentially needing updates
if accounts == nil {
accounts = make([]common.Address, 0, len(pool.queue))
for addr := range pool.queue {
accounts = append(accounts, addr)
}
}
// Iterate over all accounts and promote any executable transactions
for _, addr := range accounts {
list := pool.queue[addr]
if list == nil {
continue // Just in case someone calls with a non existing account
}
// Drop all transactions that are deemed too old (low nonce)
for _, tx := range list.Forward(pool.currentState.GetNonce(addr)) {
hash := tx.Hash()
log.Trace("Removed old queued transaction", "hash", hash)
delete(pool.all, hash)
pool.priced.Removed()
}
// Drop all transactions that are too costly (low balance or out of gas)
drops, _ := list.Filter(pool.currentState.GetBalance(addr), pool.currentMaxGas)
for _, tx := range drops {
hash := tx.Hash()
log.Trace("Removed unpayable queued transaction", "hash", hash)
delete(pool.all, hash)
pool.priced.Removed()
queuedNofundsCounter.Inc(1)
}
// Gather all executable transactions and promote them
for _, tx := range list.Ready(pool.pendingState.GetNonce(addr)) {
hash := tx.Hash()
log.Trace("Promoting queued transaction", "hash", hash)
pool.promoteTx(addr, hash, tx)
}
// Drop all transactions over the allowed limit
if !pool.locals.contains(addr) {
for _, tx := range list.Cap(int(pool.config.AccountQueue)) {
hash := tx.Hash()
delete(pool.all, hash)
pool.priced.Removed()
queuedRateLimitCounter.Inc(1)
log.Trace("Removed cap-exceeding queued transaction", "hash", hash)
}
}.....其中重要的是pool.promoteTx(addr,hash,tx)，从这里进入promoteTx函数：
func (pool *TxPool) promoteTx(addr common.Address, hash common.Hash, tx *types.Transaction) {
// Try to insert the transaction into the pending queue
if pool.pending[addr] == nil {
pool.pending[addr] = newTxList(true)
}
list := pool.pending[addr]
inserted, old := list.Add(tx, pool.config.PriceBump)
if !inserted {
// An older transaction was better, discard this
delete(pool.all, hash)
pool.priced.Removed()
pendingDiscardCounter.Inc(1)
return
}
// Otherwise discard any previous transaction and mark this
if old != nil {
delete(pool.all, old.Hash())
pool.priced.Removed()
pendingReplaceCounter.Inc(1)
}
// Failsafe to work around direct pending inserts (tests)
if pool.all[hash] == nil {
pool.all[hash] = tx
pool.priced.Put(tx)
}
// Set the potentially new pending nonce and notify any subsystems of the new tx
pool.beats[addr] = time.Now()
pool.pendingState.SetNonce(addr, tx.Nonce()+1)
go pool.txFeed.Send(TxPreEvent{tx})
}go pool.txFeed.Send(TxPreEvent{tx})将交易发布发布到TxPreEvent类型的监听通道上去。接受该交易的通道定义在miner/worker.go中：
func newWorker(config *params.ChainConfig, engine consensus.Engine, coinbase common.Address, eth Backend, mux *event.TypeMux) *worker {
worker := &worker{
config: config,
engine: engine,
eth: eth,
mux: mux,
txCh: make(chan core.TxPreEvent, txChanSize),
chainHeadCh: make(chan core.ChainHeadEvent, chainHeadChanSize),
chainSideCh: make(chan core.ChainSideEvent, chainSideChanSize),
chainDb: eth.ChainDb(),
recv: make(chan *Result, resultQueueSize),
chain: eth.BlockChain(),
proc: eth.BlockChain().Validator(),
possibleUncles: make(map[common.Hash]*types.Block),
coinbase: coinbase,
agents: make(map[Agent]struct{}),
unconfirmed: newUnconfirmedBlocks(eth.BlockChain(), miningLogAtDepth),
}
// Subscribe TxPreEvent for tx pool
worker.txSub = eth.TxPool().SubscribeTxPreEvent(worker.txCh)
// Subscribe events for blockchain
worker.chainHeadSub = eth.BlockChain().SubscribeChainHeadEvent(worker.chainHeadCh)
worker.chainSideSub = eth.BlockChain().SubscribeChainSideEvent(worker.chainSideCh)
go worker.update()
go worker.wait()
worker.commitNewWork()
return worker
}// Subscribe TxPreEvent for tx pool
worker.txSub = eth.TxPool().SubscribeTxPreEvent(worker.txCh)来注册对TxPreEvent事件的监听。go-ethereum中的事件监听机制见这篇文章。txCh通道的监听执行函数在worker.go中的update（）函数：
func (self *worker) update() {
defer self.txSub.Unsubscribe()
defer self.chainHeadSub.Unsubscribe()
defer self.chainSideSub.Unsubscribe()
for {
// A real event arrived, process interesting content
select {
// Handle ChainHeadEvent
case <-self.chainHeadCh:
self.commitNewWork()
// Handle ChainSideEvent
case ev := <-self.chainSideCh:
self.uncleMu.Lock()
self.possibleUncles[ev.Block.Hash()] = ev.Block
self.uncleMu.Unlock()
// Handle TxPreEvent
case ev := <-self.txCh:
log.Info("worker self.txch now")
// Apply transaction to the pending state if we're not mining
if atomic.LoadInt32(&self.mining) == 0 {
self.currentMu.Lock()
acc, _ := types.Sender(self.current.signer, ev.Tx)
txs := map[common.Address]types.Transactions{acc: {ev.Tx}}
txset := types.NewTransactionsByPriceAndNonce(self.current.signer, txs)
self.current.commitTransactions(self.mux, txset, self.chain, self.coinbase)
self.updateSnapshot()
self.currentMu.Unlock()
} else {
// If we're mining, but nothing is being processed, wake on new transactions
if self.config.Clique != nil && self.config.Clique.Period == 0 {
self.commitNewWork()
}
}
// System stopped
case <-self.txSub.Err():
return
case <-self.chainHeadSub.Err():
return
case <-self.chainSideSub.Err():
return
}
}
}在通过commitTransactions（）函数将交易提交给区块链执行。commitTransactions()函数中遍历每一笔交易，然后通过
commitTransaction（）函数提交并执行交易：
func (env *Work) commitTransaction(tx *types.Transaction, bc *core.BlockChain, coinbase common.Address, gp *core.GasPool) (error, []*types.Log) {
snap := env.state.Snapshot()
receipt, _, err := core.ApplyTransaction(env.config, bc, &coinbase, gp, env.state, env.header, tx, &env.header.GasUsed, vm.Config{})
if err != nil {
log.Info("worker commitTransaction err","err",err)
env.state.RevertToSnapshot(snap)
return err, nil
}
env.txs = append(env.txs, tx)
env.receipts = append(env.receipts, receipt)
return nil, receipt.Logs
}commitTransaction（）函数先创建区块链状态的快照，然后通过core.ApplyTransaction()函数来执行交易，如果执行出错，就又回退交易到快照状态。ApplyTransaction()的核心函数是ApplyMessage（）。基本调用流程是：
state_processor.go的ApplyTransaction()-->state_transition.go中的ApplyMessage(）-->TransitionDb()-->vm/evm.go中的Call（）函数。
