txpool demotes pending txns only if their nonce is now lower than the nonce in the latest state or the account no longer has enough funds to cover the costs. Unless the account in question was active since the last txpool reorg, there is no way that it's nonce changed or balance decreased.

It is true that only these accounts might have higher nonce or lower balance.

But it is possible that a transaction has sufficient balance before, but it's balance is not sufficient anymore, because of L1 data fee. Would not processing these accounts here cause any problem?

Good point, I missed that. In that case, those txns will linger in the txpool until worker tries to execute them. At that point, worker will encounter an ErrInsufficientFunds error and remove it from the pool manually.

but it is fine imo. Since L1DataFee increasing is not in control of any user, this should not be a viable attack vector

or could we just randomly trigger the fallback demoteUnexecutables()? e.g. 1000 times with one that loops all accounts.

so the affectedAccounts purpose is that: decreases the demoteUnexecutables traversal interval, is it correct?

if true, maybe truncatePending also need to check it

removing as I don't think we will be needing this hack after this

// If we're reorging an old state, reinject all dropped transactions
var reinject types.Transactions
affectedAccounts := make(map[common.Address]bool)

could save one byte. and in the meanwhile, we don't care about the case that some element is "false" in this map.

If calculate the included discard to collectAffectedAccounts, maybe here is duplicated.
