🤔 mzumsande reviewed a pull request: "init: Some small chainstate load improvements"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31046#pullrequestreview-2355081461)
one more small thing that I noticed reviewing #30968 (it wasn't really on-topic there, but fits with the last commit here): I don't think that we should return `ChainstateLoadStatus::FAILURE` in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/5837e3463fe188a65d67f96e84cbcca674d61d9e/src/node/chainstate.cpp#L239 (snapshot validation failure). This is not a problem where a general reindex would typically help, and is handled inside of validation (`InvalidateCoinsDBOnDisk`) anyway.

Code review ACK 9a723c784ad5170b1e01e91f018e5794a51dd038, but implementation has a few rough edges described below, which would recommend fixing.

Also I think it would be a lot clearer to squash the two commits. If second commit is a problem for "(very) low end hardware" as described, I think it might make sense to make fee_threshold a std::optional parameter so callers running on slow hardware can skip the fee calculation. Alternately could tweak sleep_until to make sure the function is sle

In commit "Have waitFeesChanged() frequently make a template" (9a723c784ad5170b1e01e91f018e5794a51dd038)

It seems like there is a bug here (also present in the previous commit) where `last_mempool_update` variable is not updated during the loop, so once the value changes a single time, this check will always be true, and the same block could be assembled wastefully every tick.

Also, it seems like there is also a race condition in the opposite direction that could lead to stale results, whe

Would suggest deleting this. I don't think this can do anything because the value passed to the sleep function is already capped by `now + tick`

Thanks, I don't mind removing the code changes at all (I was on the fence on this part of the change), should we wait a little while to see if there are other opinions?

Left a nit.

Only change is adding `throw` when `DEBUG`, which seems fine.

nit in 4ce60d82a0c1e21ee7ecba69e4c8926720829429: Could split the changes to make the format string a bit more const, and never `translated` in real code into a separate commit? The benefit would be that the doc changes and (constroversial?) c_str changes are in a separate commit. It would also allow easier cherry-picking into other pulls.

@dergoegge can you clarify what change is being proposed and how it would affect me if I am building with:

```
BUILD_FOR_FUZZING:BOOL=OFF
BUILD_FUZZ_BINARY:BOOL=ON
```

I build with these options to be able to be able to know if changes not related to fuzzing will break the build.

Cherry-picked bitcoin-mine from #30437 to exercise some of the interface (on top of 9a723c784ad5170b1e01e91f018e5794a51dd038).

> calls getTransactionsUpdated once per second. This returns true anytime a transaction is added to the mempool, even if it has no impact on fees in the best block.

nit: The description in the first commit could be updated to be more accurate (so even if the 2nd commit isn't included, the interface is documented accurately). Maybe just add a note, e.g. `(current interim behavior is to return true for any mempool change, not just fee increased)`.

Looking into windows timeout issue #30950 and the workaround #31028 disabling a subset of fuzz tests when BUILD_FUZZ_BINARY is false, I wonder if we can't just go with a simpler solution of fuzz testing normal libraries instead of building all the libraries specially for fuzz testing. Would a fix like the following not work?

* Got rid of the `kernel_TaskRunner`. The context now holds an immediate task runner internally on which a user can register various validation interfaces. It is now the user's responsibility to process the validation callbacks in a non-blocking fashion with their own infrastructure.

re: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31003#pullrequestreview-2349619672

> I did, however, run into a repeatable segfault that appears to be occurring with bitcoin_node when running bitcoin-mine (which calls `waitFeesChanged()`), interrupting bitcoin-mine (CTRL-C while it waits for change), then generating a block (with `bitcoin-cli`). Feels a bit DoSsy. Could be something I'm overlooking/messed up on my end. Not sure. Please request more details if needed.
