Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23365: index: Fix backwards search for bestblock
9600ea0145 test: Add edge case of pruning up to index height (Martin Zumsande)
698c524698 index: Fix backwards search for bestblock (Martin Zumsande)

Pull request description:

  This PR attempts to fix an intermittent Init issue encountered during the stress testing of #23289, which relates to the pruning-compatible filter reconstruction logic introduced in #15946.

  The problem would occur when the node starts with `-txindex=1` but `ThreadSync` is interrupted after it sets `m_best_block_index` to Genesis, and before it gets do any further work.
  In that case, during the next restart of the node, an Init error would be thrown because  `BaseIndex::Init()` tries to backtrack from the tip to the last block which has been successfully indexed (here: Genesis), but the backtracking logic didn't work properly in this case:
  The loop
  `while (block_to_test && block->pprev && (block->pprev->nStatus & BLOCK_HAVE_DATA))` checks if a predecessor exists **before** performing the check `block_to_test == block` and then possbily setting `prune_violation = false`
  If `block_to_test` and `block` are the Genesis block this check will not be reached because `block->pprev` does not exist.

  To reproduce this bug on regtest:
  1) start a node with a fresh datadir using `-txindex=1` (or any other index)
  2) stop and restart without any index
  3) mine a block
  3) stop and restart again with the index enabled
  ->InitError `Error: txindex best block of the index goes beyond pruned data. (...)`

  Fix this by requiring that we have the data for the block of the current iteration `block` (instead of requiring it for the predecessor `block->pprev`)
  That way, the check for `block_to_test == block` is also reached when `block_to_test` is the Genesis block.
  No longer requiring the data of `block->pprev` also means that we can now prune up to `m_best_block_index` height without requiring a reindex (one block more than before). I added this edge case to `feature_blockfilterindex_prune.py`, the new version should fail on master.

ACKs for top commit:
  ryanofsky:
    Partial code review ACK 9600ea0145 for the code change, not the test changes. (Test changes are indirect and little over my head.) It seems obvious that previous code `prune_violation = true, while (block->pprev)` would incorrectly detect a prune violation at the genesis block, and the fix here make sense and looks correct.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
