…sactions The MorphTx revalidation task runs alongside reth's own pool maintenance and both subscribe to the canonical state stream independently, so this task can observe a pool snapshot that still contains transactions the new block already executed. It read the sender's account only for the balance and discarded the nonce, so those already-executed transactions were charged against the new (already reduced) post-state balance a second time, and the sender's next, genuinely affordable transaction was evicted. Read the nonce alongside the balance and skip everything below it, as upstream's `AllTransactions::update` and go-ethereum's `demoteUnexecutables` both do. Removal used `remove_transactions_and_descendants`, which deletes every higher-nonce transaction of the sender — including plain ETH-fee transactions that are affordable on their own and only depend on the removed one through the nonce sequence. `remove_transactions` parks them instead (upstream's `remove_transaction_by_hash` calls `park_descendant_transactions`), matching what go-ethereum does by re-enqueueing its `invalids`. A failed token state read was wrapped as `TokenInfoFetchFailed` and handled like any other validation failure, so a transient read error removed a perfectly valid transaction. The rest of this task already skips on a failed state provider, L1 block info fetch or ETH balance read; token reads now follow the same rule. go-ethereum drops the transaction in this case (`executableTxFilter`, core/tx_pool.go:1690) and that is deliberately not mirrored. Also skip ahead to the newest queued notification before starting a round: a round costs one state read per transaction, so the chain can advance while it runs, and the verdicts are a pure function of the latest state. The per-round decision is extracted into `collect_removable_transactions` so it can be driven directly against a hand-built state, which is what the three new regression tests do; each was confirmed to fail before this change.

reth v2.5.2 CanonStateSubscriptions canonical_state_stream CanonStateNotificationStream implementation
💡 Result:
In Reth v2.5.2, CanonStateSubscriptions is a trait defined in the reth_chain_state crate (also exposed via reth::providers) that enables components to subscribe to canonical chain events, such as block imports, reorgs, or reverts [1][2][3]. The trait defines two primary methods: 1. subscribe_to_canonical_state: A required method that returns a receiver (specifically CanonStateNotifications) for direct notification updates [1][2]. 2. canonical_state_stream: A provided convenience method that wraps the subscription into a Stream [1][2][3]. The canonical_state_stream method returns a CanonStateNotificationStream [1][3]. This stream is a wrapper around a tokio-stream BroadcastStream, which simplifies the consumption of CanonStateNotification events by providing a standard Stream implementation [2][3][4]. Implementation Details: - The CanonStateNotificationStream struct is implemented in reth_chain_state [4]. - It implements the futures::Stream trait, allowing it to be used in async contexts, such as processing chain notifications for RPC subscriptions [4][5][6]. - Common implementations of the CanonStateSubscriptions trait include BlockchainProvider, which serves as a central hub for providing access to these stream notifications across the Reth node [1][7]. In practice, this pattern is frequently used within the RPC layer to pipe canonical state updates to external clients via WebSocket or other subscription-based interfaces [6].

Preserve the stream termination signal during skip-ahead
canonical_state_stream() returns Reth's CanonStateNotificationStream, which yields None when its BroadcastStream closes. .flatten() discards Some(None), so the task performs one unnecessary maintenance round before the outer next().await observes termination. Track termination explicitly and break after the current round.
🛠️ Proposed fix using an explicit termination flag
- while let Some(next) = chain_events.next().now_or_never().flatten() {
- event = next;
- }
+ let mut stream_ended = false;
+ while let Some(polled) = chain_events.next().now_or_never() {
+ match polled {
+ Some(next) => event = next,
+ None => {
+ stream_ended = true;
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+ }Break out of the outer loop after the round when stream_ended is true.

The MorphTx revalidation task (
crates/txpool/src/maintain.rs) removed transactions it had no basis to remove. Three independent causes, all of them reachable in production.1. Already-executed transactions were charged again
The task and reth's own pool maintenance both subscribe to the canonical state stream independently — there is no ordering between them, and this task snapshots the pool immediately on waking while reth's task still has to compute the base fee and collect changed accounts and mined hashes first. So the snapshot routinely still contains transactions the new block just executed.
The sender's account was read only for
.balance;.noncewas discarded, and nothing in the loop compared against it. An already-mined transaction therefore consumed its fullgas_limit × max_fee_per_gasbudget out of the post-state balance a second time, and the sender's next transaction — affordable on its own — was evicted.Both reference implementations filter first: upstream
AllTransactions::updatediscardsid.nonce < info.state_noncebefore any affordability check, and go-ethereum'sdemoteUnexecutables/promoteExecutablescalllist.Forward(nonce).Note this is not only about the race. When a commit is deeper than
max_update_depth, reth's task sets the block info andcontinues without pruning mined transactions, so the nonce filter is required regardless of ordering.2. Descendants were deleted instead of parked
Removal went through
remove_transactions_and_descendants, which deletes every higher-nonce transaction of the sender. That includes plain ETH-fee transactions with plenty of ETH, whose only relationship to the removed transaction is the nonce sequence.remove_transactionsis the right call: upstream'sremove_transaction_by_hashinvokespark_descendant_transactions, moving them to the queued sub-pool so they become executable again once a replacement nonce arrives. go-ethereum reaches the same outcome by re-enqueueing itsinvalids(core/tx_pool.go:1888) rather than dropping them.3. Transient state-read failures removed transactions
A failed token registry or balance-slot read became
MorphTxError::TokenInfoFetchFailed, indistinguishable at the call site from a genuinely invalid transaction, so it was removed. The same function already skips the sender on a failed state provider, L1 block info fetch or ETH balance read — token reads now follow that rule.go-ethereum does the opposite (
executableTxFilterreturns "drop" whengetBalanceFuncerrors, core/tx_pool.go:1690). That is deliberately not mirrored; it is the same defect on the other side.Also
Skip ahead to the newest queued notification before starting a round. A round costs a state read per transaction, so the chain can advance while it runs, and the verdicts are a pure function of the latest state — every intermediate block is wasted work against a stale view of the pool.
Shape of the change
The per-round decision is extracted into
collect_removable_transactions, which is generic over the database and takes plain&MorphPooledTransactions. That makes the removal verdict assertable against a hand-built state without standing up a pool, and leaves the async loop as just I/O plus the pool call.Tests
Three regression tests, each confirmed to fail before this change:
transactions_already_executed_by_the_block_do_not_consume_the_budget_again— with a control (cumulative_budget_still_rejects_an_unaffordable_successor) that keeps the cumulative check honest when the nonce has not advanced.unreadable_token_state_does_not_remove_transactions— fee-token storage reads fail, everything else is readable.removing_a_morph_tx_parks_its_descendants_instead_of_deleting_them— drives the real pool, since only the pool can show what happens to the descendants.make lint,cargo test --allandcargo test --docpass.Not in this PR
The affordability policy is unchanged here: a nonce-gapped transaction is still evaluated against the running budget, and a transaction that is merely unaffordable right now is still removed rather than left for the payload builder to skip. That is a separate change and gets its own PR.
Found by an external review of the pool maintenance path; the reproduction it shipped was used as the baseline for these tests.
