This PR ensure that the distance between any leaf and the finalized block is within a reasonable distance. For a new subscription, the chainHead has to provide all blocks between the leaves of the chain and the finalized block. When the distance between a leaf and the finalized block is large: - The tree route is costly to compute - We could deliver an unbounded number of blocks (potentially millions) (For more details see https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3445#discussion_r1507210283) The configuration of the ChainHead is extended with: - suspend on lagging distance: When the distance between any leaf and the finalized block is greater than this number, the subscriptions are suspended for a given duration. - All active subscriptions are terminated with the `Stop` event, all blocks are unpinned and data discarded. - For incoming subscriptions, until the suspended period expires the subscriptions will immediately receive the `Stop` event. - Defaults to 128 blocks - suspended duration: The amount of time for which subscriptions are suspended - Defaults to 30 seconds cc @paritytech/subxt-team --------- Signed-off-by: Alexandru Vasile <alexandru.vasile@parity.io> Co-authored-by: Sebastian Kunert <skunert49@gmail.com>

instructions. Then try out one of the tutorials. Refer to the Docker
instructions to quickly run Substrate, Substrate Node Template, Subkey, or to build a chain spec.

License
- Substrate Primitives (
sp-*), Frame (frame-*) and the pallets (pallets-*), binaries (/bin) and all other utilities are licensed under Apache 2.0. - Substrate Client (/client/*/sc-*) is licensed under GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception.
The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.
In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
