Refs #1755
I started with writing a test for wsConnection (WebsocketManager) where
I:
- create a WS connection
- do a simple echo call
- close it
No leaking goroutines, nor any leaking memory were detected.
For useful shortcuts see my blog post
https://blog.cosmos.network/debugging-the-memory-leak-in-tendermint-210186711420
Then I went to the rpc tests to see if calling Subscribe results in
memory growth. It did.
I used a slightly modified version of TestHeaderEvents function:
```
func TestHeaderEvents(t *testing.T) {
// memory heap before
f, err := os.Create("/tmp/mem1.mprof")
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
pprof.WriteHeapProfile(f)
f.Close()
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
c := getHTTPClient()
err = c.Start()
require.Nil(t, err)
evtTyp := types.EventNewBlockHeader
evt, err := client.WaitForOneEvent(c, evtTyp, waitForEventTimeout)
require.Nil(t, err)
_, ok := evt.(types.EventDataNewBlockHeader)
require.True(t, ok)
c.Stop()
c = nil
}
runtime.GC()
// memory heap before
f, err = os.Create("/tmp/mem2.mprof")
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
pprof.WriteHeapProfile(f)
f.Close()
// dump all running goroutines
time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
pprof.Lookup("goroutine").WriteTo(os.Stdout, 1)
}
```

```
100 subscriptions produce 32MB.
Again, no additional goroutines are running after the end of the test
(wsConnection readRoutine and writeRoutine both finishes). **It means
that some exiting goroutine or object is holding a reference to the
*Query objects, which are leaking.**
One of them is pubsub#loop. It's using state.queries to map queries to
clients and state.clients to map clients to queries.
Before this commit, we're not thoroughly cleaning state.queries, which
was the reason for memory leakage.

Jae: I don't know a good way to catch these errors in general, but
forcing pubsub's internal channel to have a capacity of 0 will reveal
bugs sooner, if the subscriber also has a 0 or small capacity ch to pull
from.
* updateToState exits early if the state isn't new, which happens after
* fast syncing. This results in not sending a NewRoundStep message. The mempool
* reactor depends on PeerState, which is updated by NewRoundStep
* messages. If the peer never sends a NewRoundStep, the mempool reactor
* will think they're behind, and never forward transactions. Note this
* only happens when `create_empty_blocks = false`, because otherwise
* peers will move through the consensus state and send a NewRoundStep
* for a new step soon anyways. Simple fix is just to send the
* NewRoundStep message during updateToState even if exit early
* all: gofmt
Run 'gofmt -w .' from project root.
* Update changelog to say that I ran gofmt
* Revert "Update changelog to say that I ran gofmt"
This reverts commit 956f133ff0354fd7338e7df7c823e6f98b655da6.
* Switch ports 466xx to be 266xx
This is done so the default ports aren't in the linux kernel's default ephemeral port range.
* Update ABCI import
* Bump cache on circleci
* Get more verbose output for debugging
* Bump abci dependency
* Fix accidental change of a block header's hash
* pin abci release
* `unsafe_reset_all` also resets addrbook.json
When executing `unsafe_reset_all` it also clear all IP addresses from
addrbook.json. This is the expected behaviour of `unsafe_reset_all`.
* Fix tests
* improve logging statements
* use correct file
