err: gas limit reached (supplied gas 9223372036854775807)

System information

Geth version: 1.14.9
CL client & version: Prysm@v5.1.0
OS & Version: Linux

Expected behaviour

eth_call returns the response normally

Actual behaviour

INFO [09-19|20:29:30.936] rpc response                             method=eth_call logId=5 err="err: gas limit reached (supplied gas 9223372036854775807)" result="\"0x\"" attempt=0 args="[{\"from\":\"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000\",\"input\":\"0xe8eb1dc3\",\"to\":\"0x211e1c4c7f1bf5351ac850ed10fd68cffcf6c21b\"}, \"latest\"]" errorData=null

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Geth Command:

/opt/ethmain/core/geth --config=/mnt/ethmain/conf/config.toml --rpc.gascap=0 --rpc.txfeecap=0

The version of Geth before we upgraded was 1.14.5，When I remove the --rpc.gascap=0 --rpc.txfeecap=0 parameter, the node responds normally, but the 0 value is unlimited in meaning ah!

I don't see "error fetching MaxDataSize from sequencer inbox" anywhere in the prysm codebase. Additionally, the rpc call you have provided doesn't make sense in the context of eth mainnet: it is a call from the zero address to an arbitrum contract.

Are you trying to run an Arbitrum node?

Edit: yes, the error looks to originate from arbitrum nitro which is meant to be coupled with Geth.

[jwasinger]

I assume "the node responds normally" means that the eth_call succeeds which doesn't make sense to me. why would it succeed when the gas cap is set to the 50_000_000 default, and not when it is infinite... Maybe others will have more insight on this.

[YuXiaoCoder]

Yes, I'm running arbitrum nitro.

I found the bug, in the doCall method in internal/ethapi/api.go, it was previously setting AddGas as

gp := new(core.GasPool).AddGas(math.MaxUint64)

the new code changed to new(core.GasPool).AddGas(globalGasCap), if we set RPCGasCap(globalGasCap) to 0, we intended to set infinite If we set RPCGasCap(globalGasCap) to 0, it is meant to be infinite.

[YuXiaoCoder]

This bug can be bypassed by changing the run command

/opt/ethmain/core/geth --config=/mnt/ethmain/conf/config.toml --rpc.gascap=9223372036854775807 --rpc.txfeecap=0

Experiencing similar issues.

Assuming that is related to #27720
