From 18b5a8028312503d0e9c830e1b84c2da39ba362d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucca Martins Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 11:39:29 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] triedb/pathdb: trie-node lookup index for O(1) diff-layer resolution Extend the PR #30971 lookup structure (accounts/storages flat state) with a trie-node index keyed by owner+path, maintained in addLayer/removeLayer alongside the existing maps. reader.Node now resolves the owning layer via nodeTip instead of walking the diff-layer chain newest->oldest (up to TriesInMemory=128 map probes, each taking a per-layer RLock). Stale-layer reads fall back to the traversal path, mirroring AccountRLP/Storage, and the bor clean-cache hash-mismatch self-heal path is preserved. The index is derived in-memory from the layer stack (newLookup on open/cap0, addLayer on add, removeLayer on flatten) and is not persisted, so it rebuilds correctly from the journal on restart. It reuses the same tree.lock that the flat-state index already takes, fitting the parallel-execution locking model. No upstream equivalent exists: geth indexes flat state only and still resolves trie nodes via the recursive parent walk. Steady-state microbench (128 diff layers, node at max depth): walk ~2200 ns/op -> index ~88 ns/op (O(depth) -> O(1), ~25x).
