Merge #16033: Hold cs_main when reading chainActive via getTipLocator(). Remove assumeLocked().
9402ef0739 Remove temporary method assumeLocked(). Remove LockingStateImpl. Remove redundant cs_main locks. (practicalswift)
593a8e8a2c wallet: Use chain.lock() instead of temporary chain.assumeLocked() (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Fixes #16028.

  Problem description:

  `LockAnnotation lock(::cs_main)` is a guarantee to the compiler thread analysis that `::cs_main` is locked (when it couldn't be determined otherwise).

  Despite being annotated with the locking guarantee ...

  65526fc866/src/interfaces/chain.cpp (L134-L138)

  ... `getTipLocator()` reads `chainActive` (via `::ChainActive()`) without holding `cs_main`.

  This can be verified by adding the following `AssertLockHeld(cs_main)`:

Internal c++ interfaces

The following interfaces are defined here:

  • Chain — used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973.

  • ChainClient — used by node to start & stop Chain clients. Added in #14437.

  • Node — used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244.

  • Wallet — used by GUI to access wallets. Added in #10244.

  • Handler — returned by handleEvent methods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers.

  • Init — used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #10102.

The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
