866c8058a7 Interrupt orphan processing after every transaction (Pieter Wuille) 6e051f3d32 [MOVEONLY] Move processing of orphan queue to ProcessOrphanTx (Pieter Wuille) 9453018fdc Simplify orphan processing in preparation for interruptibility (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: As individual orphan transactions can be relatively expensive to handle, it's undesirable to process all of them (max 100) as soon as the parent becomes available, as it pegs the net processing the whole time. Change this by interrupting orphan handling after every transactions, and continue in the next processing slot of the peer that gave us the parent - similar to how getdata processing works now. Messages from other peers arriving in the mean time are processed normally, but other messages from the peer that gave us the parent have to wait until all orphan processing is done.

Verified refactor in 9453018fdc8f02d42832374bcf1d6e3a1df02281 and moved code in 6e051f3d323af1d209c02e7a4319834f1947ffa7. Not so sure about change in 866c8058a706931f025335b3e794ed2f4d287918 just because I'm not familiar with net processing.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master
branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check
. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
