@bkchr bkchr commented Apr 21, 2022

With the latest optimizations of the FinalityNotification generation, the aux data pruning started
to print a warning. The problem here was that we printed a warning and stopped the adding of blocks
to prune when we hit the heigh_limit. This is now wrong, as we could for example have two 512 long
forks and then we start finalizing one of them. The second fork head would be part of the stale
heads at some point (in the current implementation when we finalize second fork head number + 1),
but then we would actually need to go back into the past than heigh_limit (which was actually
last_finalized - 1). We now go back until we reach the canonical chain.

Also fixed some wrong comment that was added by be about the content of the finalized blocks in
the FinalityNotification.

Fixes one part of: paritytech/polkadot-sdk#59

With the latest optimizations of the `FinalityNotification` generation, the aux data pruning started
to print a warning. The problem here was that we printed a warning and stopped the adding of blocks
to prune when we hit the `heigh_limit`. This is now wrong, as we could for example have two 512 long
forks and then we start finalizing one of them. The second fork head would be part of the stale
