Good news! I've managed to construct a real dependency on #9902 (@ryoqun 👋) with this PR. The because when the node restarts, it drops its tower and re-sends votes for slots it has already voted on. The introduction of a timestamp in each vote causes these duplicate votes to be rejected with Rather than adapting the vote program to handle this case, I think we should just fix #9902 :) |

I considered removing the maybe_ (even did it locally once) but the function does still return an Option because the function will not add a timestamp to a slot that's older than the latest slot that has been timestamped.
(although this behaviour might be unnecessary once tower save/restore is working...)

I'm pretty sure I've found a bug...

@mvines , how do you feel about this one now? I removed the backport labels to do that manually after the vote-program changes are released? (Couldn't figure out how to remove the broken backport rules, though :( ) |

We actually could break out these rpc error-handling changes and get them landed sooner. I guess I could have done that in June in retrospect!

Ah, good call. I'll pull that out to land & backport first.
looks good, just gotta deal with the rollout |

getBlockTime has been unreliable in a heavily forking cluster, likely due to slots with timestamped votes not getting confirmed. There doesn't seem to be a strong argument for not including a timestamp more frequently. Doing so should mean that block time is always available and simplifies the implementation
