From 7b922d87dc393f546ab7f0241ebf0294020b8f75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dapplion <35266934+dapplion@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 04:13:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/18] state cache: add spec-derived byte-size estimation and budget-based eviction MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add estimated_marginal_bytes() that uses consensus spec knowledge to approximate memory cost per cached state — epoch boundary states (~32MB) vs mid-epoch (~1KB). Track per-state costs and a running cached_bytes sum. New --state-cache-max-mb flag enables byte-budget eviction alongside the existing count-based limit.

All states are treated as equal cost. + +In reality, state memory costs vary by orders of magnitude: + +- **Epoch boundary state** (all balances rewritten): ~16-20MB differential +- **Mid-epoch state** (few attesters touched): ~100KB-1MB differential +- **State sharing most structure with finalized** (just rebased): ~0 marginal cost + +With 128 states, worst case is 128 epoch boundary states × 20MB = 2.5GB. Best case is +128 mid-epoch states at ~100KB = 13MB. The cache has no idea which situation it's in. + +This led to OOM issues documented in sigp/lighthouse#7053, partially addressed by +heuristic eviction improvements, but the fundamental problem remains: eviction decisions +are made without knowing what anything costs. + +## Prior Art + +### PR #7803 — Exact measurement approach (rejected) + +Used milhouse's `MemoryTracker` (from milhouse PR #51) to walk the full tree structure +across all cached states and compute exact differential byte sizes. + +**Why it was rejected:** +1. **1.5-4+ seconds** to measure the full cache — walks millions of tree nodes +2. **Holds the state cache mutex** during measurement, blocking block processing +3. **Must re-measure after every eviction** — structural sharing means removing one state + changes others' differential costs +4. **Pruning loop**: measure → evict one → measure again → repeat until under budget +5.

Removing a state frees +approximately its estimated bytes. No need to re-measure the whole cache. + +#### Refresh Estimates on Rebase + +When finalized state updates, all cached states get rebased. Their dirty leaf counts +change (most reset to near-zero relative to the new finalized base). The +`update_finalized_state` method should refresh estimates: + +```rust +fn update_finalized_state(&mut self, ...) { + // ... existing finalization logic ... + + // Refresh all cached state estimates after rebase + self.cached_bytes = 0; + for (_, (state, cost)) in self.states.iter_mut() { + *cost = state.estimated_marginal_bytes(); + self.cached_bytes += *cost; + } +} +``` + +This is O(states × fields) ≈ O(128 × 5) = O(640) — trivial. + +## Implementation Plan + +### Phase 1: Cost Estimation Function (no behavior change) + +Add `estimated_marginal_bytes()` to the `store` crate. Wire it into `put_state` to +compute and store the estimate alongside each cached state. Add a Prometheus gauge +exposing `cached_bytes` (sum of estimates). **No eviction changes yet** — this phase +is pure observability. + +This lets us validate the estimates against real nodes in production before trusting +them for eviction decisions. + +### Phase 2: Byte-Budget Eviction (replaces count-based) + +1. Add `--state-cache-max-mb` CLI flag (default: 2048MB) +2. Replace count-based cull trigger with byte-budget trigger +3. Implement fork-aware `cull_to_budget` as described above +4. Keep `--state-cache-size` as a hard upper bound on count (safety net) +5. Refresh estimates in `update_finalized_state` after rebase + +### Phase 3: Fork Topology Integration + +1. Plumb fork choice weight info into the state cache (or into the cull call) +2. Implement per-fork budget allocation +3. Skeleton-based eviction: mandatory tips + fork points, variable boundary density + +### Phase 4: Metrics & Observability + +- `state_cache_estimated_bytes` gauge — total estimated cache size +- `state_cache_state_estimated_bytes` histogram — per-state cost distribution +- `state_cache_num_forks` gauge — active fork count +- `state_cache_evictions_total` counter with labels (phase, fork_position) + +### Future: milhouse COW Counter (optional accuracy upgrade) + +If the spec-derived estimates prove insufficient (e.g., edge cases where actual memory +diverges significantly from estimates), instrument milhouse's COW path: + +1. Add `cow_leaf_count: usize` to milhouse `List`/`Vector` +2. Increment on actual COW (when `Arc::strong_count > 1` during leaf mutation) +3. Reset on `clone()`, `rebase_on()`, `intra_rebase()` +4. Expose `fn num_dirty_leaves(&self) -> usize` +5. Replace spec-derived estimates with direct COW counts + +This gives exact per-field dirty leaf counts at O(1) per mutation. The estimation +formula stays the same — only the input (dirty leaf count) becomes exact instead of +approximate. + +## Open Questions + +1. **How does fork choice info reach the state cache?** Currently `StateCache` only knows + about `head_block_root`. It doesn't have fork choice weights or the full fork tree. + Either the cache needs a reference to fork choice, or the caller passes topology info + during `put_state`/`cull`. The `block_map` already tracks block_root → slot mappings + which provides some fork structure, but not weights. + +2. **What's the right default budget?** 2GB covers ~100 epoch boundary states or thousands + of mid-epoch states. Operators with 64GB+ RAM might want 8GB+. Should be CLI-configurable. + +3. **Advanced states: how many slots ahead?** A state advanced by 1 slot has ~committee_size + dirty balances. Advanced by 32 slots has ~32×committee_size. The current estimate treats + all non-boundary states equally. Could refine by tracking `state.slot() - state.latest_block_header().slot` + and scaling the committee-size estimate accordingly. + +4. **Interaction with `intra_rebase`**: PR #7062 added `intra_rebase` for inactivity_scores + to exploit internal structural sharing. After `intra_rebase`, the effective dirty leaf + count is much lower than N even at epoch boundaries. The estimate should account for + whether `intra_rebase` has been applied (reduces inactivity_scores cost from ~16MB to + ~4-5MB). + +## References + +- sigp/lighthouse#7449 — Measure state cache size in memory +- sigp/lighthouse#7450 — Prune state cache based on size +- sigp/lighthouse#7803 — Memory Aware Caching (rejected implementation) +- sigp/lighthouse#6532 — State cache memory size WIP (PoC) +- sigp/lighthouse#7053 — OOM mitigations +- sigp/lighthouse#7062 — intra_rebase for inactivity_scores +- sigp/milhouse#51 — Differential memory usage tracking diff --git a/beacon_node/src/cli.rs b/beacon_node/src/cli.rs index 61dccc9674d..20b6769021b 100644 --- a/beacon_node/src/cli.rs +++ b/beacon_node/src/cli.rs @@ -802,11 +802,22 @@ pub fn cli_app() -> Command { Arg::new("state-cache-size") .long("state-cache-size") .value_name("STATE_CACHE_SIZE") - .help("Specifies the size of the state cache") + .help("Specifies the maximum number of states in the state cache") .default_value("128") .action(ArgAction::Set) .display_order(0) ) + .arg( + Arg::new("state-cache-max-mb") + .long("state-cache-max-mb") + .value_name("STATE_CACHE_MAX_MB") + .help("Maximum memory budget for the state cache in megabytes.

It can't travel with the state (too expensive to clone). It needs to +live in the processing pipeline — tied to a specific chain of state transitions. + +Options: + +1. **On the `BeaconChain` struct** — one tracker per chain.

A single +persistent tracker accumulates nodes from all forks. This means: + +- Nodes from fork A are in the seen-set when measuring fork B +- This causes undercounting — fork B's nodes might be falsely "seen" if fork A + happened to allocate at the same address (after fork A's nodes were freed) + +In practice this is unlikely (Arc allocations at the same address require the +original to be freed first, which means no state holds it). But it's a +correctness concern. + +**Mitigation**: The tracker is approximate (it's `ApproxOwnedBytes`, not exact). +Small undercounting from address reuse is acceptable for eviction decisions. + +### The HashMap memory overhead + +At 1M validators, the tracker's HashMap has ~2-4M entries (one per unique tree +node across all tracked states). At ~40 bytes per entry, that's ~80-160MB just +for the tracker itself. + +**Mitigation**: Reset the tracker on each finalization advance. The finalized +walk rebuilds it from scratch (~450ms). Between finalizations, the tracker +grows by the COW nodes from ~32 slots × ~100 cached states. This is bounded. + +### Alternative: milhouse-native cow_bytes + +Instead of using `MemoryTracker` (external HashMap), milhouse could expose a +pairwise tree walk: + +```rust +fn cow_bytes(base: &Arc>, derived: &Arc>) -> usize { + if Arc::ptr_eq(base, derived) { return 0; } + let cost = node_size(derived); + match (base.as_ref(), derived.as_ref()) { + (Node { left: bl, right: br, .. }, + Node { left: dl, right: dr, .. }) => { + cost + cow_bytes(bl, dl) + cow_bytes(br, dr) + } + _ => cost + } +} +``` + +This is O(dirty_nodes) with zero external state — no HashMap, no persistent +tracker.

Add `--state-cache-max-mb` CLI flag (default: 2048MB) -2. Replace count-based cull trigger with byte-budget trigger -3. Implement fork-aware `cull_to_budget` as described above -4. Keep `--state-cache-size` as a hard upper bound on count (safety net) -5. Refresh estimates in `update_finalized_state` after rebase - -### Phase 3: Fork Topology Integration - -1. Plumb fork choice weight info into the state cache (or into the cull call) -2. Implement per-fork budget allocation -3. Skeleton-based eviction: mandatory tips + fork points, variable boundary density - -### Phase 4: Metrics & Observability - -- `state_cache_estimated_bytes` gauge — total estimated cache size -- `state_cache_state_estimated_bytes` histogram — per-state cost distribution -- `state_cache_num_forks` gauge — active fork count -- `state_cache_evictions_total` counter with labels (phase, fork_position) - -### Future: milhouse COW Counter (optional accuracy upgrade) - -If the spec-derived estimates prove insufficient (e.g., edge cases where actual memory -diverges significantly from estimates), instrument milhouse's COW path: - -1. Add `cow_leaf_count: usize` to milhouse `List`/`Vector` -2. Increment on actual COW (when `Arc::strong_count > 1` during leaf mutation) -3. Reset on `clone()`, `rebase_on()`, `intra_rebase()` -4. Expose `fn num_dirty_leaves(&self) -> usize` -5. Replace spec-derived estimates with direct COW counts - -This gives exact per-field dirty leaf counts at O(1) per mutation. The estimation -formula stays the same — only the input (dirty leaf count) becomes exact instead of -approximate. - -## Open Questions - -1. **How does fork choice info reach the state cache?** Currently `StateCache` only knows - about `head_block_root`. It doesn't have fork choice weights or the full fork tree. - Either the cache needs a reference to fork choice, or the caller passes topology info - during `put_state`/`cull`. The `block_map` already tracks block_root → slot mappings - which provides some fork structure, but not weights. - -2. **What's the right default budget?** 2GB covers ~100 epoch boundary states or thousands - of mid-epoch states. Operators with 64GB+ RAM might want 8GB+. Should be CLI-configurable. - -3. **Advanced states: how many slots ahead?** A state advanced by 1 slot has ~committee_size - dirty balances. Advanced by 32 slots has ~32×committee_size. The current estimate treats - all non-boundary states equally. Could refine by tracking `state.slot() - state.latest_block_header().slot` - and scaling the committee-size estimate accordingly. - -4. **Interaction with `intra_rebase`**: PR #7062 added `intra_rebase` for inactivity_scores - to exploit internal structural sharing. After `intra_rebase`, the effective dirty leaf - count is much lower than N even at epoch boundaries. The estimate should account for - whether `intra_rebase` has been applied (reduces inactivity_scores cost from ~16MB to - ~4-5MB). - -## References - -- sigp/lighthouse#7449 — Measure state cache size in memory -- sigp/lighthouse#7450 — Prune state cache based on size -- sigp/lighthouse#7803 — Memory Aware Caching (rejected implementation) -- sigp/lighthouse#6532 — State cache memory size WIP (PoC) -- sigp/lighthouse#7053 — OOM mitigations -- sigp/lighthouse#7062 — intra_rebase for inactivity_scores -- sigp/milhouse#51 — Differential memory usage tracking diff --git a/.claude/state-cache-memory-tracking.md b/.claude/state-cache-memory-tracking.md index b8ebd3062ca..7a9c83b53f5 100644 --- a/.claude/state-cache-memory-tracking.md +++ b/.claude/state-cache-memory-tracking.md @@ -3,210 +3,110 @@ ## Problem The state cache needs to know how much memory cached states consume to enforce -a byte budget and avoid OOM.

A single -persistent tracker accumulates nodes from all forks. This means: - -- Nodes from fork A are in the seen-set when measuring fork B -- This causes undercounting — fork B's nodes might be falsely "seen" if fork A - happened to allocate at the same address (after fork A's nodes were freed) -In practice this is unlikely (Arc allocations at the same address require the -original to be freed first, which means no state holds it).

At ~40 bytes per entry, that's ~80-160MB just -for the tracker itself. - -**Mitigation**: Reset the tracker on each finalization advance. The finalized -walk rebuilds it from scratch (~450ms). Between finalizations, the tracker -grows by the COW nodes from ~32 slots × ~100 cached states. This is bounded. - -### Alternative: milhouse-native cow_bytes - -Instead of using `MemoryTracker` (external HashMap), milhouse could expose a -pairwise tree walk: - -```rust -fn cow_bytes(base: &Arc>, derived: &Arc>) -> usize { - if Arc::ptr_eq(base, derived) { return 0; } - let cost = node_size(derived); - match (base.as_ref(), derived.as_ref()) { - (Node { left: bl, right: br, .. }, - Node { left: dl, right: dr, .. }) => { - cost + cow_bytes(bl, dl) + cow_bytes(br, dr) - } - _ => cost - } -} +put_state: + total = total_approx_owned_bytes() ← deduplicate Arc pointers + if total > max_bytes: cull(...) ``` -This is O(dirty_nodes) with zero external state — no HashMap, no persistent -tracker. But it requires changes to milhouse and doesn't cover non-tree fields -(caches).
