The "feefilter" p2p message is used to inform other nodes of your mempool min fee which is the feerate that any new transaction must meet to be accepted to your mempool. This will allow them to filter invs to you according to this feerate.
This implements caching of ancestor state to each mempool entry, similar to
descendant tracking, but also including caching sigops-with-ancestors (as that
metric will be helpful to future code that implements better transaction
selection in CreatenewBlock).
The work limit served to prevent the descendant walking algorithm from doing
too much work by marking the parent transaction as dirty. However to implement
ancestor tracking, it's not possible to similarly mark those descendant
transactions as dirty without having to calculate them to begin with.
This commit removes the work limit altogether. With appropriate
chain limits (-limitdescendantcount) the concern about doing too much
work inside this function should be mitigated.
Continues "Make logging for validation optional" from #6519.
The idea there was to remove all ERROR logging of rejected transaction,
and move it to one message in the class 'mempoolrej' which logs the
state message (and debug info). The superfluous ERRORs in the log
"terrify" users, see for example issue #5794.
Unfortunately a lot of new logging was introduced in #6871 (RBF) and
#7287 (misc refactoring). This pull updates that new code.
SequenceLocks functions are used to evaluate sequence lock times or heights per BIP 68.
The majority of this code is copied from maaku in #6312

ProcessNewBlock would return failure early if CheckBlock failed, before
calling AcceptBlock. AcceptBlock also calls CheckBlock, and upon failure
would update mapBlockIndex to indicate that a block was failed. By returning
early in ProcessNewBlock, we were not marking blocks that fail a check in
CheckBlock as permanently failed, and thus would continue to re-request and
reprocess them.
Also renames whitelistalwaysrelay.
Nodes relay all transactions from whitelisted peers, this
gets in the way of some useful reasons for whitelisting
peers-- for example, bypassing bandwidth limitations.
The purpose of this forced relaying is for specialized gateway
applications where a node is being used as a P2P connection
filter and multiplexer, but where you don't want it getting
in the way of (re-)broadcast.
This change makes it configurable with whitelistforcerelay.
"permit" is currently used to configure transaction filtering, whereas replacement is more to do with the memory pool state than the transaction itself.
Add a configuration option `-permitrbf` to set transaction replacement policy
for the mempool.
Enabling it will enable (opt-in) RBF, disabling it will refuse all
conflicting transactions.
