Called on_block_announce with a bad PeerId

[tomaka]

I'm trying to debug this error log being printed at the moment.

For example, here is a selection of logs concerning a faulty peer:

2020-04-09 06:03:49.305 main-tokio- ERROR sync 💔 Called on_block_announce with a bad peer ID

(I made the effort to find all the entries that are possibly relevant to this peer, but the logs are huge and it's not impossible that I have missed some)
(also, feel free to copy-paste these logs for better readability)

It seems to me that:

• A first connection to Qmar25qYxcoLzPuzHDZ9nM7o38mNPqnKrZaksf3aY8rdM8 is established with task ID 48992.
• The PSM approves it.
• We report to the external API that the substream has been opened.
• A second connection with task ID 51883 gets established to the same peer.
• That second connection (task ID 51883) gets closed shortly after (200ms)
• We report to the external API that the substream has been closed.

The last step seems wrong to me, as the first connection should still be alive. I didn't find anything in the logs about task ID 48992 other than what is above.

cc @romanb is that related to libp2p/rust-libp2p#1546?

Doesn't seem to happen anymore on my Google Cloud node after #5595 🎉
I'm going to continue running the node to be sure, but this error was fairly frequent so the chances are high that it's fixed.

This issue is still happening when trying to submit an extrinsic from a light client to a full node.

The logs on the client are:

Triaging.

To be more precise, the issue is that this remote sends a message on the notifications substream before the main substream is open. In other words, it is the sender that misbehaves.

I don't really know what could cause this from the top of my head, and if it doesn't cause any bug or misbehaviour I'm tempted to finish #5670, which would fix that issue by design.

[Demi-Marie]

Switching IP networks is a good way to cause these warnings. These warnings are not fatal and eventually go away.

[stiiifff]

FYI, getting this error message at every block on every full node when a light client is syncing (so not just when submitting an extrinsic).

[dbpatty]

I have this error ( ERROR sync 💔 Called on_block_announce with a bad peer ID) with the new version 8.27 ... me and other people. Can i do anything to fix ? is this a problem for my node?

This error comes and goes with each release, with a different cause every time.
This time it was introduced in #7464 and was fixed in #7700, which is why I'm leaving closed. #7700 will be in Polkadot 0.8.28.
