Potential cause of #3242.
Previously, we had bounded channels between network bridge and distribution subsystems (statement, bitfield and approval). Imagine if network bridge's channel is full and it awaits on
dispatch_validation_events_to_all().await
, whereas a distribution subsystem awaits on the bridge withreport_peer().await
. This causes a deadlock.This PR changes all distribution subsystems to use unbounded channels for communication with the bridge.
I'm worried a bit about unbounded channel growth, but we need proper backpressure implemented for peersets at the libp2p level.
