    p2p/nodestate: ensure correct callback order (#21436) · 4eb92969
    Felföldi Zsolt authored
    This PR adds an extra guarantee to NodeStateMachine: it ensures that all
    immediate effects of a certain change are processed before any subsequent
    effects of any of the immediate effects on the same node. In the original
    version, if a cascaded change caused a subscription callback to be called
    multiple times for the same node then these calls might have happened in a
    wrong chronological order.
    
    For example:
    
    - a subscription to flag0 changes flag1 and flag2
    - a subscription to flag1 changes flag3
    - a subscription to flag1, flag2 and flag3 was called in the following order:
    
       [flag1] -> [flag1, flag3]
       [] -> [flag1]
       [flag1, flag3] -> [flag1, flag2, flag3]
    
    This happened because the tree of changes was traversed in a "depth-first
    order". Now it is traversed in a "breadth-first order"; each node has a
    FIFO queue for pending callbacks and each triggered subscription callback
    is added to the end of the list. The already existing guarantees are
    retained; no SetState or SetField returns until the callback queue of the
    node is empty again. Just like before, it is the responsibility of the
    state machine design to ensure that infinite state loops are not possible.
    Multiple changes affecting the same node can still happen simultaneously;
    in this case the changes can be interleaved in the FIFO of the node but the
    correct order is still guaranteed.
    
    A new unit test is also added to verify callback order in the above scenario.
