Issue being fixed or feature implemented

The manager's wallets map is a tokio::sync::RwLock, and the two event handlers that resolve a wallet through it are synchronous and cannot await:

  • BalanceUpdateHandler probed it with try_read() and dropped the event's balance snapshot whenever a lifecycle write (wallet create / remove / load) was in flight. The event bus neither retries nor coalesces, so a dropped snapshot leaves superseded totals on screen until some later balance-bearing event happens to arrive — and nothing guarantees one does.
  • SpendObservationHandler carries an entire deferral queue whose only reason to exist is that same try_read() failing (dashpay/platform#4309).

Extracted from #4406, where it was one commit among many. It is independent of that PR's subject and is a live fix on its own.

What was done?

  • PlatformWalletManager::wallets becomes arc_swap::ArcSwap — already this crate's idiom for rare-write / hot-read state. Readers take a wait-free snapshot that can never fail or block, so the drop window no longer exists rather than being papered over.
  • The rare lifecycle writers publish via rcu, preserving the generation-checked removal's check-and-remove atomicity (wallet_lifecycle.rs, load.rs).
  • Sync-context accessors that read the wallets map with blocking_read() become wait-free loads, removing that map's panic-inside-runtime hazard (accessors.rs). Scoped deliberately: the same functions still take other locks the ordinary way — platform_address_provider_state_blocking keeps provider_lock.blocking_read(), and wallet_network_blocking / tracked_asset_locks_blocking keep wallet_manager.blocking_read() — so their "must not be called from inside a tokio async task" contract is unchanged. This PR narrows the hazard to those locks; it does not remove it from these entry points.
  • With the read infallible, SpendObservationHandler's pending queue loses its premise: there is no contention outcome left to defer. The queue, its MAX_QUEUED_SPEND_OBSERVATIONS cap and the shedding warning are removed, and the handler applies every observation at delivery (spend_observer.rs, −181 lines).

How Has This Been Tested?

cargo test -p platform-wallet — 928 tests pass.

Two regression tests pin the behaviour against the closest window the new type admits — a lifecycle writer parked mid-rcu across the delivery:

  • manager::tests::balance_snapshot_survives_wallets_map_write_contention — the snapshot must land in the wallet's balance atomics before that writer commits.
  • wallet::core::broadcast::tests::a_wallets_map_write_in_flight_does_not_cost_a_spend_observation — the in-broadcast fence must clear anyway (replaces the old contention/deferral test, whose scenario is now unreachable).

Breaking Changes

None. wallets is not part of the public API surface; get_wallet_blocking keeps its name and signature (it is simply no longer blocking).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance Improvements

    • Wallet data is now accessed through wait-free snapshots, improving responsiveness during concurrent wallet updates and synchronization.
    • Balance updates and spend observations are applied reliably without being dropped due to temporary contention.
  • Reliability

    • Wallet registration, removal, loading, and rollback operations now publish updates atomically, reducing race-condition risks during concurrent activity.

The manager's `wallets` map was a `tokio::sync::RwLock`, and the two
synchronous event handlers that resolve a wallet through it cannot
await: `BalanceUpdateHandler` probed with `try_read()` and dropped the
event's balance snapshot whenever a manager lifecycle write (create /
remove / load) was in flight, and `SpendObservationHandler` carried a
whole deferral queue to survive the same probe failing. The bus neither
retries nor coalesces, so a dropped snapshot leaves superseded totals on
screen until some later balance-bearing event happens to arrive, and
nothing guarantees one does.

Convert the map to `arc_swap::ArcSwap` (already this crate's idiom for
rare-write / hot-read state): readers take a wait-free snapshot that can
never fail or block, so the drop window no longer exists rather than
being papered over. The rare lifecycle writers publish via `rcu`,
preserving the generation-checked removal's check-and-remove atomicity,
and the sync-context accessors that used `blocking_read()` become
wait-free loads, removing their panic-inside-runtime hazard.

With the read infallible, `SpendObservationHandler`'s pending queue
loses its premise: there is no contention outcome left to defer, so the
queue, its 4096-outpoint cap and the shedding warning go, and the
handler applies every observation at delivery. Its regression test keeps
`#4309` pinned against the closest window the new type
admits — a lifecycle writer parked mid-`rcu` across the delivery — as
does the balance handler's own test, which asserts the snapshot lands
before that writer commits.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fd275

A failed wallet load can currently roll back a newer wallet generation that reused the same ID, potentially removing valid wallet state. The PR should not merge until rollback is generation-aware.

Comment thread packages/rs-platform-wallet/src/manager/load.rs Outdated
…shed

Two follow-ups on the review of this PR.

`cargo fmt` on the `wallets_map` test helper, whose return type the
ArcSwap change left wrapped.

And the rollback in `load_from_persistor` tracked only `WalletId`, so it
removed by id alone. That is safe while nothing else touches the map,
and this is the interleaving where something does: this load publishes a
generation under an id, a concurrent `remove_wallet` frees that id, a
registration publishes a NEW generation under it, and only then does a
later iteration fail and reach the rollback. Removing by id would delete
that new registration — a live wallet this call never created and whose
owner is still using it — and the inner-manager unwind that follows
would strip its backing too.

The rollback is now generation-checked, the same rule `remove_wallet`
applies to its own removal: an entry is reclaimed only while it still
holds the `Arc<WalletGeneration>` this load inserted, and the
inner-manager unwind keys off that same answer. An id that never reached
`self.wallets` — this call failed between the two inserts — has no such
owner and unwinds as before.

The decision is a pure `rollback_targets`, so the invariant is pinned
without racing a real load against a real re-registration:
`rollback_only_reclaims_the_generation_this_load_published` asserts both
halves — reclaimed while ours, refused once superseded.

Pre-existing: the id-only removal predates the ArcSwap change, which
altered how the map is written, not what the rollback matched on.

Approving.

The RwLockArcSwap migration is complete — no read()/write()/try_read()/blocking_read() on wallets remains in the crate — and all three write sites use rcu correctly. The property the generation checks depend on (the closure sees exactly the map the CAS compares against, and the last invocation is the committing one) holds, so remove_wallet's check-and-remove stays atomic. The rollback_targets commit closes a real hole: a failed load_from_persistor could previously evict a foreign generation re-registered under the same id. The "insert into the inner manager → publish into self.wallets" window stays closed against a concurrent registration (insert_wallet returns WalletAlreadyExists), so the rollback ordering is sound. No guard is held across an .await anywhere, which is the new foot-gun this type introduces.

Three non-blocking notes:

  1. spend_observer.rs — dropping the deferral queue leaves the window between insert_wallet and the self.wallets publish (which spans the await on platform-address initialization) as an unconditional drop for spend observations. For a wallet id re-registered after a removal, the inherited in-broadcast fences mean a lost observation leaves the outpoint fenced for the manager's lifetime — the #4309 symptom. The old try_read lost that same window too, except for the sliver the queue rescued, so this isn't a regression introduced here; but it may be worth releasing/re-seeding fences right after the rcu publish, the way the balance atomics already are, before considering #4309 fully closed.

  2. manager/mod.rs field doc says the rcu closure "must stay pure map manipulation", while two of the three call sites deliberately write captured state (Cell in wallet_lifecycle.rs, RefCell in load.rs) and rely on last-invocation-commits. The code is right; the doc tells a future editor the opposite. Stating the actual rule — captured state must be overwritten per attempt, never accumulated — would protect the invariant better.

  3. load.rs rollback warning ("a new generation was registered under this id") also fires when the entry was simply removed concurrently and nothing replaced it. Harmless, but misleading during triage.

…rrect what the docs claim

Review follow-ups on this PR. One real defect, the rest are the code
telling a future reader something that is not true.

`load_from_persistor` seeded the balance atomic BEFORE `insert_wallet`,
and the wallet becomes SPV-visible the moment that insert lands —
several `.await`s before the `rcu` publishes it. A `BlockProcessed`
arriving in that window finds the wallet absent from the map and its
snapshot is dropped, leaving a restored wallet showing the persisted
total while the inner balance has moved on, with no later event
guaranteed to correct it. `register_wallet` already re-seeds after its
publish and its comment claimed the restore path did too; now it does.
Both sites note the ordering they accept: the seed can briefly lose a
race with the handler, and the next event corrects that — worth more
than the window it closes.

The field doc said an `rcu` closure "must stay pure map manipulation",
while two of the three call sites deliberately write captured state and
are correct in doing so. It now states the rule they actually rely on:
only the invocation whose compare-and-swap succeeds is published, so
captured state must be overwritten per attempt, never accumulated.

The rollback's warning claimed a new generation had been registered
under the id whenever the entry was not ours — including when something
else had simply removed it and nothing replaced it, which sends anyone
reading it after a wallet-disappeared report after a generation that
does not exist. The two states are now distinguished.

`get_wallet` and `wallet_ids` became character-for-character copies of
their `_blocking` twins, so they delegate rather than drift; their
`async` signatures stay for source compatibility, with the doc saying
they no longer suspend.

Tests: `a_failed_load_rolls_back_the_wallet_it_had_already_published`
fails a load after a wallet is published, so the rollback's `rcu`
closure, its per-attempt verdict hand-off and the branch deciding
whether the inner-manager entry is removed all execute — none of which
the pure-function test reaches. And both rendezvous closures now park
once: `rcu` may re-run its closure, and a second `recv()` on a
send-once channel would hang the suite rather than fail it.

@llbartekll thanks — all three notes landed somewhere, two as fixes and one as a correction to the docs instead.

2 (the rcu doc). Fixed in 6fda0ecf77. You were right that the code is correct and the doc told a future editor the opposite. It now states the rule the call sites actually rely on: only the invocation whose compare-and-swap succeeds is published, so captured state must be overwritten per attempt, never accumulated — which is exactly what remove_wallet's verdict Cell and the rollback's RefCell do.

3 (the rollback warning). Fixed. The two states are now distinguished: an id still in the map after the rollback means a same-id re-registration owns it and something is genuinely left in place; an id that is simply gone gets "already removed by something else; nothing left to roll back". A wait-free load after the rollback is enough for a log line.

1 (the spend-observation publish window). Not fixed, and I want to be explicit rather than quietly skip it. I agree with your framing — the old try_read lost the same window apart from the sliver the queue rescued, so this is not a regression introduced here — and the honest fix is fence reconciliation after the rcu publish, which is a new mechanism rather than an edit. What I did do is stop the code claiming otherwise: BalanceUpdateHandler's doc previously asserted the creation path "covers that window", and it now says the window costs a snapshot, not the balance.

That claim also turned out to be false for one of the two paths, which is the one real defect this round: load_from_persistor seeded the balance atomic before insert_wallet — several .awaits before publishing — so a BlockProcessed arriving in the window was dropped and a restored wallet kept the persisted total. register_wallet already re-seeded after its publish and its comment claimed the restore path did too. Now it does, and both sites document the ordering they accept (the seed can lose a race with the handler; the next event corrects it).

Also in this push: get_wallet / wallet_ids had become character-for-character copies of their _blocking twins, so they delegate now; a_failed_load_rolls_back_the_wallet_it_had_already_published drives the rollback's rcu block for real rather than only its predicate; and both rendezvous test closures park once, since rcu may re-run a closure and a second recv() on a send-once channel would hang the suite instead of failing it.

Corrected the PR description too: it claimed the blocking_read panic hazard was removed from the sync accessors, when it was only removed for the wallets map — platform_address_provider_state_blocking still takes provider_lock.blocking_read(), and wallet_network_blocking / tracked_asset_locks_blocking still take wallet_manager.blocking_read().

Local before pushing: 927 tests, cargo fmt --check --all and cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean.

Re-approving after 6fda0ecf7 (my earlier approval was dismissed as stale by the new commit).

All three follow-ups are addressed, and the restore-path balance window you found on the way is a real defect worth its own fix — load_from_persistor seeding before insert_wallet left a restored wallet showing the persisted total with no later event guaranteed to correct it, and the two creation paths now close that window the same way. a_failed_load_rolls_back_the_wallet_it_had_already_published is the test the rollback was missing: the pure-function test could stay green while the inner-manager branch was inverted.

I checked the one thing in the new commit that looked worth a second pass — let still_mapped = self.wallets.load() is held across wallet_manager.write().await in the rollback. It is fine: arc_swap's wait_for_readers goes to Debt::pay_all, which pays the outstanding slots by taking a ref count rather than spinning, so a live guard cannot stall an rcu writer, and Guard is Send (HybridProtection is Option<&'static Debt> over an AtomicUsize plus the Arc). Taking the snapshot before the lock is also the more accurate reading, since it sits closer in time to the rcu that produced rolled_back. load_full() would state the "owned snapshot, not a guard" intent more plainly if you touch it again, but nothing needs changing.

Two nits, neither blocking:

  • wallet_lifecycle.rs, the new note on the re-seed: "and during the rescan this exists for those arrive continuously" is garbled — the load.rs twin reads correctly ("during catch-up those arrive continuously").
  • The parked-once rendezvous guard is the right call, but the two copies are now identical eight-line comments over identical code in mod.rs and broadcast.rs. Fine as is; worth a shared test helper if a third rendezvous ever shows up.
