eth_call fails with intrinsic gas too high

[mattsse]

Describe the feature

see #1785 for how to reproduce

error:

>>  {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_call","params":[{"from":"0xaa00000000000000000000000000000000000000","to":"0xaa00000000000000000000000000000000000000"},"latest"]}
<<  {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32000,"message":"intrinsic gas too high"},"id":1}
response differs from expected:
 {
-  "error": {
-    "code": -32000,
-    "message": "intrinsic gas too high"
-  },
   "id": 1,
   "jsonrpc": "2.0"
+  "result": "0x"
 }

this is likely a misconfig of env.tx.gas_price and env.tx.gas_limit before the call is executed.

Additional context

No response

[mattsse]

likely an issue with tx env config or env config in general

reth/crates/rpc/rpc/src/eth/api/call.rs

Lines 85 to 88 in 2bc4da5

	if request_gas.is_none() && env.tx.gas_price > U256::ZERO {
	// no gas limit was provided in the request, so we need to cap the request's gas limit
	cap_tx_gas_limit_with_caller_allowance(&mut db, &mut env.tx)?;
	}

hmm, after doing some tracing it looks like the env is being set correctly, but the account has zero balance

[Rjected]

might also be related to why eth_getBalance is currently failing, since it reports the same account's balance as 0, instead of 1

Fixed with #1997

I meet intrinsic gas too high in cli.
I start a private network: reth node -d --chain genesis.json --datadir /opt/reth_data/ --auto-mine --http.
But when I send some ether to the other account ,it fails:

levi@levi:/opt/reth_data$ cast balance 0xd143C405751162d0F96bEE2eB5eb9C61882a736E

fixed by change the gaslimit in the genesis.json:

"gasLimit": "0x1388", // not work: (code: -32000, message: intrinsic gas too high, data: None)
"gasLimit": "0x2fefd8" // works
