Bastian Köcher 2877c038cf Use block requests to check if block responses are correct (#7653)
* Use block requests to check if block responses are correct

Before this pr sync relied on recently announced blocks to check if a
given peer response is correct. However this could lead to situations
where we requested a block from a peer and it gave us the requested, but
we rejected the response because this peer never send us an announcement
for the given block. See the added tests for a reproduction of the
problem.
With this pr, we now take the block request to check if a given response
matches the request. A node should not send us a block response
without a request anyway.

Essentially there is still a bug, because as you see in the test, we are
requesting block 2, while we already have this block imported. It even
happens that we request a block from the network that we have authored.
However a fix for this would require some more refactoring of the sync code.

* Revert change

* Give the test a proper name

* Add moar logging

* Move cheaper checks

* Move checks to common place

Substrate · GitHub license GitLab Status PRs Welcome

Substrate is a next-generation framework for blockchain innovation 🚀.

Trying it out

Simply go to substrate.dev and follow the installation instructions. You can also try out one of the tutorials.

Contributions & Code of Conduct

Please follow the contributions guidelines as outlined in docs/CONTRIBUTING.adoc. In all communications and contributions, this project follows the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Security

The security policy and procedures can be found in docs/SECURITY.md.

License

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.
