Original PR https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14641 --- Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/109 ### Problem Quoting from the above issue: > When adding a pallet to chain after genesis we currently don't set the StorageVersion. So, when calling on_chain_storage_version it returns 0 while the pallet is maybe already at storage version 9 when it was added to the chain. This could lead to issues when running migrations. ### Solution - Create a new trait `BeforeAllRuntimeMigrations` with a single method `fn before_all_runtime_migrations() -> Weight` trait with a noop default implementation - Modify `Executive` to call `BeforeAllRuntimeMigrations::before_all_runtime_migrations` for all pallets before running any other hooks - Implement `BeforeAllRuntimeMigrations` in the pallet proc macro to initialize the on-chain version to the current pallet version if the pallet has no storage set (indicating it has been recently added to the runtime and needs to have its version initialised). ### Other changes in this PR - Abstracted repeated boilerplate to access the `pallet_name` in the pallet expand proc macro. ### FAQ #### Why create a new hook instead of adding this logic to the pallet `pre_upgrade`? `Executive` currently runs `COnRuntimeUpgrade` (custom migrations) before `AllPalletsWithSystem` migrations. We need versions to be initialized before the `COnRuntimeUpgrade` migrations are run, because `COnRuntimeUpgrade` migrations may use the on-chain version for critical logic. e.g. `VersionedRuntimeUpgrade` uses it to decide whether or not to execute. We cannot reorder `COnRuntimeUpgrade` and `AllPalletsWithSystem` so `AllPalletsWithSystem` runs first, because `AllPalletsWithSystem` have some logic in their `post_upgrade` hooks to verify that the on-chain version and current pallet version match. A common use case of `COnRuntimeUpgrade` migrations is to perform a migration which will result in the versions matching, so if they were reordered these `post_upgrade` checks would fail. #### Why init the on-chain version for pallets without a current storage version? We must init the on-chain version for pallets even if they don't have a defined storage version so if there is a future version bump, the on-chain version is not automatically set to that new version without a proper migration. e.g. bad scenario: 1. A pallet with no 'current version' is added to the runtime 2. Later, the pallet is upgraded with the 'current version' getting set to 1 and a migration is added to Executive Migrations to migrate the storage from 0 to 1 a. Runtime upgrade occurs b. `before_all` hook initializes the on-chain version to 1 c. `on_runtime_upgrade` of the migration executes, and sees the on-chain version is already 1 therefore think storage is already migrated and does not execute the storage migration Now, on-chain version is 1 but storage is still at version 0. By always initializing the on-chain version when the pallet is added to the runtime we avoid that scenario. --------- Co-authored-by: Kian Paimani <5588131+kianenigma@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Bastian Köcher <git@kchr.de>
Executive Module
The Executive module acts as the orchestration layer for the runtime. It dispatches incoming extrinsic calls to the respective modules in the runtime.
Overview
The executive module is not a typical pallet providing functionality around a specific feature. It is a cross-cutting framework component for the FRAME. It works in conjunction with the FRAME System module to perform these cross-cutting functions.
The Executive module provides functions to:
- Check transaction validity.
- Initialize a block.
- Apply extrinsics.
- Execute a block.
- Finalize a block.
- Start an off-chain worker.
Implementations
The Executive module provides the following implementations:
Executive: Type that can be used to make the FRAME available from the runtime.
Usage
The default Substrate node template declares the
Executive type in its library.
Example
Executive type declaration from the node template.
#
/// Executive: handles dispatch to the various modules.
pub type Executive = executive::Executive<
Runtime,
Block,
Context,
Runtime,
AllPallets,
>;
Custom OnRuntimeUpgrade logic
You can add custom logic that should be called in your runtime on a runtime upgrade. This is done by setting an optional generic parameter. The custom logic will be called before the on runtime upgrade logic of all modules is called.
#
struct CustomOnRuntimeUpgrade;
impl frame_support::traits::OnRuntimeUpgrade for CustomOnRuntimeUpgrade {
fn on_runtime_upgrade() -> frame_support::weights::Weight {
// Do whatever you want.
frame_support::weights::Weight::zero()
}
}
pub type Executive = executive::Executive<
Runtime,
Block,
Context,
Runtime,
AllPallets,
CustomOnRuntimeUpgrade,
>;
