DMP Pallet

A module responsible for Downward Message Processing (DMP). See Messaging Overview for more details.

Storage

Storage layout required for implementation of DMP.

#![allow(unused)] fn main() { /// The downward messages addressed for a certain para. DownwardMessageQueues: map ParaId => Vec<InboundDownwardMessage>; /// A mapping that stores the downward message queue MQC head for each para. /// /// Each link in this chain has a form: /// `(prev_head, B, H(M))`, where /// - `prev_head`: is the previous head hash or zero if none. /// - `B`: is the relay-chain block number in which a message was appended. /// - `H(M)`: is the hash of the message being appended. DownwardMessageQueueHeads: map ParaId => Hash; }

Initialization

No initialization routine runs for this module.

Routines

Candidate Acceptance Function:

  • check_processed_downward_messages(P: ParaId, relay_parent_number: BlockNumber, processed_downward_messages: u32):
    1. Checks that processed_downward_messages is at least 1 if DownwardMessageQueues for P is not empty at the given relay_parent_number.
    2. Checks that DownwardMessageQueues for P is at least processed_downward_messages long.

Candidate Enactment:

  • prune_dmq(P: ParaId, processed_downward_messages: u32):
    1. Remove the first processed_downward_messages from the DownwardMessageQueues of P.

Utility routines.

queue_downward_message(P: ParaId, M: DownwardMessage): 1. Check if the size of M exceeds the config.max_downward_message_size. If so, return an error. 1. Wrap M into InboundDownwardMessage using the current block number for sent_at. 1. Obtain a new MQC link for the resulting InboundDownwardMessage and replace DownwardMessageQueueHeads for P with the resulting hash. 1. Add the resulting InboundDownwardMessage into DownwardMessageQueues for P.

Session Change

  1. For each P in outgoing_paras (generated by Paras::on_new_session):
    1. Remove all DownwardMessageQueues of P.
    2. Remove DownwardMessageQueueHeads for P.
