fix: correct store_in_db_trie logic and remove leftover TrieMasks usage

- Fix parallel trie store_in_db_trie: was setting true when masks were
  present regardless of whether they were empty. Now correctly checks
  that at least one mask is non-empty.
- Remove leftover TrieMasks struct usage in proof_v2 test

# Prototype: Replace `TrieMasks` with `Option<BranchNodeMasks>` in `ProofTrieNode`
## Summary
This prototype explores replacing `TrieMasks` with `Option<BranchNodeMasks>` in `ProofTrieNode` and related APIs, as suggested after PR #20664.
## Current State
```rust
// TrieMasks - each field is independently optional
pub struct TrieMasks {
pub hash_mask: Option<TrieMask>, // 4 bytes
pub tree_mask: Option<TrieMask>, // 4 bytes
} // Total: 8 bytes
// BranchNodeMasks - both fields always present together
pub struct BranchNodeMasks {
pub hash_mask: TrieMask, // 2 bytes
pub tree_mask: TrieMask, // 2 bytes
} // Total: 4 bytes
// Option<BranchNodeMasks> = 6 bytes
```
## Key Findings
### 1. Size Reduction
- `TrieMasks`: 8 bytes
- `Option<BranchNodeMasks>`: 6 bytes
- **Savings: 25% reduction (2 bytes per instance)**
### 2. Code Simplification
The prototype shows **-27 net lines** across 5 files:
| File | Insertions | Deletions | Net |
|------|------------|-----------|-----|
| common/src/trie.rs | +2 | -1 | +1 |
| sparse/src/provider.rs | +4 | -4 | 0 |
| sparse/src/state.rs | +16 | -23 | -7 |
| sparse/src/traits.rs | +3 | -3 | 0 |
| sparse/src/trie.rs | +18 | -33 | -15 |
| **Total** | **+40** | **-67** | **-27** |
### 3. Semantic Correctness
Analysis confirms that **both masks always come together**:
- When read from database, both masks are fetched together
- Production code never sets one mask without the other
- Independent mask setting (`hash_mask: Some(..), tree_mask: None`) only appears in **tests**
### 4. Simplification Examples
**Before:**
```rust
if masks.tree_mask.is_some() || masks.hash_mask.is_some() {
self.branch_node_masks.insert(
path,
BranchNodeMasks {
tree_mask: masks.tree_mask.unwrap_or_default(),
hash_mask: masks.hash_mask.unwrap_or_default(),
},
);
}
```
**After:**
```rust
if let Some(branch_masks) = masks {
self.branch_node_masks.insert(path, branch_masks);
}
```
**Before:**
```rust
store_in_db_trie: Some(
masks.hash_mask.is_some_and(|mask| !mask.is_empty()) ||
masks.tree_mask.is_some_and(|mask| !mask.is_empty()),
),
```
**After:**
```rust
store_in_db_trie: Some(masks.is_some_and(|m| {
!m.hash_mask.is_empty() || !m.tree_mask.is_empty()
})),
```
### 5. Full Scope of Changes
| Location | Count | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| sparse-parallel/src/trie.rs | 70 | Mostly tests |
| sparse/src/trie.rs | 16 | All tests after migration |
| proof_v2/mod.rs | 8 | Production code |
| proof_v2/node.rs | 5 | Production code |
| configured_sparse_trie.rs | 3 | Production code |
| common/src/trie.rs | 2 | Struct definition |
| common/src/lib.rs | 1 | Export |
### 6. Additional Changes Required
- `RevealedNode` in provider.rs should also change from two `Option<TrieMask>` fields to single `Option<BranchNodeMasks>` (done in prototype)
- Tests need updates to use `Some(BranchNodeMasks { .. })` instead of `TrieMasks { hash_mask: Some(..), tree_mask: None }`
- `proof_v2` module needs similar updates
- Parallel sparse trie needs same changes as serial version
## Recommendation
**Proceed with this refactor** because:
1. **Memory reduction**: 25% smaller per instance
2. **Code simplification**: -27 lines, cleaner patterns
3. **Semantic correctness**: Reflects actual usage (masks come together)
4. **Type safety**: Impossible to create invalid state with one mask missing
## Test Migration Strategy
For tests that currently set masks independently:
```rust
// Before
TrieMasks { hash_mask: Some(TrieMask::new(0b01)), tree_mask: None }
// After - use default for the other mask
Some(BranchNodeMasks { hash_mask: TrieMask::new(0b01), tree_mask: TrieMask::default() })
```
## Files Changed in Prototype
```
crates/trie/common/src/trie.rs (ProofTrieNode definition)
crates/trie/sparse/src/provider.rs (RevealedNode definition)
crates/trie/sparse/src/state.rs (State trie operations)
crates/trie/sparse/src/traits.rs (Trait signatures)
crates/trie/sparse/src/trie.rs (Serial sparse trie impl)
```
## Outstanding Work
1. Update tests in `sparse/src/trie.rs`
2. Update `sparse-parallel/src/trie.rs` (same changes)
3. Update `proof_v2` module
4. Update `configured_sparse_trie.rs`
5. Run full test suite and benchmarks
6. Consider removing `TrieMasks` struct entirely if no longer needed

# Reth Memory Layout Optimization Analysis
## Engine, Trie, Multiproof, and Prewarming Components
This document provides a comprehensive analysis of memory layout optimization opportunities across the reth codebase, focusing on engine, trie, multiproof, and prewarming components.
---
## Executive Summary
After thorough exploration of the codebase, I've identified **30+ data structures** with potential memory layout improvements. The highest priority optimizations are in:
1. **Trie node representations** - `SparseNode` enum (40+ bytes per node)
2. **Proof structures** - `MultiProof`, `StorageMultiProof` with duplicate hash mask maps
3. **Execution cache** - `ExecutionCache`, `PrewarmContext` with scattered boolean fields
4. **State tracking** - `TreeState`, `BlockState` with suboptimal field ordering
Estimated memory savings: **5-15% reduction** in hot path allocations with proper field reordering and consolidation.

---
## 1. Critical Priority - Trie Node Structures
### 1.1 `SparseNode` Enum
**File**: `crates/trie/sparse/src/trie.rs:1835`
```rust
pub enum SparseNode {
Empty,
Hash(B256), // 32 bytes
Leaf { key: Nibbles, hash: Option<B256> }, // Nibbles + 40 bytes
Extension {
key: Nibbles,
hash: Option<B256>,
store_in_db_trie: Option<bool>
},
Branch {
state_mask: TrieMask, // u16 = 2 bytes
hash: Option<B256>, // 33 bytes (Option)
store_in_db_trie: Option<bool> // 2 bytes (Option<bool>)
},
}
```
**Issues**:
- Enum discriminant + largest variant = 40+ bytes per node
- `Option<B256>` adds 33 bytes (1 byte tag + 32 bytes value)
- `Option<bool>` wastes 2 bytes when 1 bit suffices
- `TrieMask` (u16) followed by `Option<B256>` causes 6 bytes padding
**Recommendations**:
1. Pack `store_in_db_trie` and `hash.is_some()` into a single `u8` flags field
2. Store hash externally in a separate HashMap keyed by node path
3. Consider smaller representation for common patterns
### 1.2 `SerialSparseTrie`
**File**: `crates/trie/sparse/src/trie.rs:297-315`
```rust
pub struct SerialSparseTrie {
nodes: HashMap<Nibbles, SparseNode>,
branch_node_tree_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>, // TrieMask = u16
branch_node_hash_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>, // Duplicate structure
values: HashMap<Nibbles, Vec<u8>>,
prefix_set: PrefixSetMut,
updates: Option<SparseTrieUpdates>,
rlp_buf: Vec<u8>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- **Two identical HashMaps** (`tree_masks` and `hash_masks`) with same key type
- 4 HashMap allocations with `Nibbles` keys (variable-length)
- `rlp_buf: Vec<u8>` at end is a reusable buffer that could be `Arc` shared
**Recommendations**:
1. **Consolidate mask maps**: `HashMap<Nibbles, (TrieMask, TrieMask)>` or `HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMasks>`
2. Reorder fields: `rlp_buf` before `updates` (often accessed after updates)
3. Consider `Arc<RwLock<Vec<u8>>>` for `rlp_buf` if shared across threads
### 1.3 `ParallelSparseTrie`
**File**: `crates/trie/sparse-parallel/src/trie.rs:105-127`
```rust
pub struct ParallelSparseTrie {
upper_subtrie: Box<SparseSubtrie>,
lower_subtries: [LowerSparseSubtrie; 16], // Fixed array of 16
prefix_set: PrefixSetMut,
updates: Option<SparseTrieUpdates>,
branch_node_tree_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
branch_node_hash_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
update_actions_buffers: Vec<Vec<SparseTrieUpdatesAction>>,
parallelism_thresholds: ParallelismThresholds,
#[cfg(feature = "metrics")]
metrics: ParallelSparseTrieMetrics,
}
```
**Issues**:
- Array of 16 subtries after `Box` - severe padding potential
- Same duplicate mask map pattern as `SerialSparseTrie`
- `Option<SparseTrieUpdates>` before two HashMaps
**Recommendations**:
1. Move `lower_subtries` array to end (largest field)
2. Consolidate mask maps
3. Group `Option` and small scalar fields together
---
## 2. Critical Priority - Proof Structures
### 2.1 `MultiProof`
**File**: `crates/trie/common/src/proofs.rs:173-182`
```rust
pub struct MultiProof {
pub account_subtree: ProofNodes,
pub branch_node_hash_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
pub branch_node_tree_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
pub storages: B256Map<StorageMultiProof>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- Two separate HashMaps with identical structure
- `ProofNodes` (large) followed by two maps, then another map
**Recommendations**:
1. **Consolidate mask maps**: Create `TrieMasks { hash: TrieMask, tree: TrieMask }` struct
2. `HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMasks>` saves one HashMap allocation
### 2.2 `StorageMultiProof`
**File**: `crates/trie/common/src/proofs.rs:450-460`
```rust
pub struct StorageMultiProof {
pub root: B256, // 32 bytes
pub subtree: ProofNodes,
pub branch_node_hash_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
pub branch_node_tree_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- Same duplicate HashMap pattern
- `root` (32 bytes) at start is optimal for alignment
- Two HashMaps at end should be consolidated
### 2.3 `ProofResultMessage`
**File**: `crates/trie/parallel/src/proof_task.rs:598-607`
```rust
pub struct ProofResultMessage {
pub sequence_number: u64,
pub result: Result<ProofResult, ParallelStateRootError>,
pub elapsed: Duration,
pub state: HashedPostState,
}
```
**Issues**:
- `u64` (8 bytes) at start, `Duration` (16 bytes) later
- `Result` enum size varies significantly by variant
**Recommendations**:
1. Reorder: `elapsed` (16 bytes) → `sequence_number` (8 bytes) → `result``state`
2. Consider boxing the error variant in `Result`
---
## 3. High Priority - Engine Execution Structures
### 3.1 `PayloadProcessor`
**File**: `crates/engine/tree/src/tree/payload_processor/mod.rs:104`
```rust
pub struct PayloadProcessor<Evm> {
executor: WorkloadExecutor,
execution_cache: ExecutionCache,
trie_metrics: MultiProofTaskMetrics,
cross_block_cache_size: u64,
disable_transaction_prewarming: bool, // scattered bools
disable_state_cache: bool,
evm_config: Evm,
precompile_cache_disabled: bool,
precompile_cache_map: PrecompileCacheMap<SpecFor<Evm>>,
sparse_state_trie: Arc<Mutex<Option<...>>>,
disable_parallel_sparse_trie: bool,
prewarm_max_concurrency: usize,
}
```
**Issues**:
- **4 boolean fields scattered** throughout structure
- Booleans between large fields cause padding waste
- Generic `Evm` type size varies
**Recommendations**:
1. Create `ProcessorFlags` bitfield:
```rust
struct ProcessorFlags {
bits: u8, // 4 bools = 4 bits
}
impl ProcessorFlags {
const DISABLE_TX_PREWARMING: u8 = 0b0001;
const DISABLE_STATE_CACHE: u8 = 0b0010;
const DISABLE_PRECOMPILE_CACHE: u8 = 0b0100;
const DISABLE_PARALLEL_SPARSE_TRIE: u8 = 0b1000;
}
```
2. Move all config to struct end
3. Group related fields (executor, evm_config)
### 3.2 `PrewarmContext`
**File**: `crates/engine/tree/src/tree/payload_processor/prewarm.rs:457`
```rust
pub(super) struct PrewarmContext<N, P, Evm> {
pub(super) env: ExecutionEnv<Evm>,
pub(super) evm_config: Evm,
pub(super) saved_cache: Option<SavedCache>,
pub(super) provider: StateProviderBuilder<N, P>,
pub(super) metrics: PrewarmMetrics,
pub(super) terminate_execution: Arc<AtomicBool>,
pub(super) precompile_cache_disabled: bool,
pub(super) precompile_cache_map: PrecompileCacheMap<SpecFor<Evm>>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- **Frequently cloned** for worker distribution
- `bool` after `Arc<AtomicBool>` causes padding
- Generic types make layout unpredictable
**Recommendations**:
1. Move `terminate_execution` and `precompile_cache_disabled` together
2. Consider `Arc<PrewarmContextShared>` for thread-shared parts
3. Separate mutable worker state from immutable config
### 3.3 `ExecutionCache`
**File**: `crates/engine/tree/src/tree/cached_state.rs:342`
```rust
pub(crate) struct ExecutionCache {
code_cache: Cache<B256, Option<Bytecode>>,
storage_cache: Cache<Address, Arc<AccountStorageCache>>,
account_cache: Cache<Address, Option<Account>>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- 3 separate Moka caches = 3 allocations
- Accessed on every state read (hot path)
**Recommendations**:
1. Consider a unified cache with tagged keys if access patterns permit
2. Pre-size caches based on expected workload
3. Evaluate if `Arc<AccountStorageCache>` sharing is necessary
---
## 4. High Priority - State Management
### 4.1 `TreeState`
**File**: `crates/engine/tree/src/tree/state.rs:24`
```rust
pub struct TreeState<N: NodePrimitives = EthPrimitives> {
pub(crate) blocks_by_hash: HashMap<B256, ExecutedBlock<N>>,
pub(crate) blocks_by_number: BTreeMap<BlockNumber, Vec<ExecutedBlock<N>>>,
pub(crate) parent_to_child: HashMap<B256, HashSet<B256>>,
pub(crate) current_canonical_head: BlockNumHash,
pub(crate) engine_kind: EngineApiKind, // 1-2 bytes
}
```
**Issues**:
- `engine_kind` (1-2 bytes) at end after large collections
- 6-7 bytes padding before `engine_kind`
**Recommendations**:
1. Move `engine_kind` and `current_canonical_head` (16 bytes) to struct start
2. Order: `engine_kind` → `current_canonical_head` → collections
### 4.2 `BlockState`
**File**: `crates/chain-state/src/in_memory.rs:575`
```rust
pub struct BlockState<N: NodePrimitives = EthPrimitives> {
block: ExecutedBlock<N>,
parent: Option<Arc<Self>>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- `Option<Arc<Self>>` is 16 bytes (Option tag + pointer)
- Small struct, but frequently allocated
### 4.3 `HashedStorage`
**File**: `crates/trie/common/src/hashed_state.rs:404-409`
```rust
pub struct HashedStorage {
pub wiped: bool, // 1 byte
pub storage: B256Map<U256>, // HashMap
}
```
**Issues**:
- `bool` before HashMap causes 7 bytes padding (HashMap aligned to 8)
**Recommendations**:
1. Move `wiped` after `storage`, or
2. Pack with other metadata if available
---
## 5. Medium Priority - Supporting Structures
### 5.1 `InvalidHeaderCache`
**File**: `crates/engine/tree/src/tree/invalid_headers.rs:19`
```rust
pub struct InvalidHeaderCache {
headers: LruMap<B256, HeaderEntry>,
metrics: InvalidHeaderCacheMetrics,
}
struct HeaderEntry {
hit_count: u8, // 1 byte
header: BlockWithParent, // Large
}
```
**Issues**:
- `hit_count: u8` before large struct = 7 bytes padding
### 5.2 `BlockBuffer`
**File**: `crates/engine/tree/src/tree/block_buffer.rs:19`
```rust
pub struct BlockBuffer<B: Block> {
pub(crate) blocks: HashMap<BlockHash, SealedBlock<B>>,
pub(crate) parent_to_child: HashMap<BlockHash, HashSet<BlockHash>>,
pub(crate) earliest_blocks: BTreeMap<BlockNumber, HashSet<BlockHash>>,
pub(crate) block_queue: VecDeque<BlockHash>,
pub(crate) max_blocks: usize,
pub(crate) metrics: BlockBufferMetrics,
}
```
**Issues**:
- 5 collection types in sequence
- `max_blocks` (8 bytes) between collections
### 5.3 `AccountProof`
**File**: `crates/trie/common/src/proofs.rs:573-585`
```rust
pub struct AccountProof {
pub address: Address, // 20 bytes
pub info: Option<Account>,
pub proof: Vec<Bytes>,
pub storage_root: B256, // 32 bytes
pub storage_proofs: Vec<StorageProof>,
}
```
**Issues**:
- `Address` (20 bytes) at start, misaligned for 32-byte B256
**Recommendations**:
1. Reorder: `storage_root` (32 bytes) → `address` (20 bytes) → Vecs/Options
---
## 6. Alloy Type Considerations
### 6.1 Core Types
| Type | Size | Alignment | Notes |
|------|------|-----------|-------|
| `B256` | 32 bytes | 1 (byte array) | Optimal for hashing |
| `Address` | 20 bytes | 1 (byte array) | Often padded to 24 |
| `U256` | 32 bytes | 8 | Little-endian limbs |
| `TrieMask` | 2 bytes | 2 (u16) | Branch child bitmap |
| `Nibbles` | 8-72 bytes | 8 | SmallVec-backed |
### 6.2 Map Types
- `B256Map<V>` - Uses `foldhash` hasher optimized for 32-byte keys
- `B256Set` - Same optimization for set operations
- Both avoid unnecessary hashing computation on fixed-size keys
### 6.3 Potential Alloy Improvements
1. **`Address` padding**: Consider `#[repr(align(8))]` for Address to reduce struct padding
2. **`TrieMask` packing**: Could be combined with flags in same u16
3. **`Nibbles` variants**: Consider fixed-size array for common path lengths (≤ 64)
---
## 7. Recommended Actions
### Immediate Wins (Low Risk, High Impact)
| Priority | Structure | Change | Est. Savings |
|----------|-----------|--------|--------------|
| 1 | `HashedStorage` | Move `wiped` after `storage` | 7 bytes/instance |
| 2 | `TreeState` | Reorder `engine_kind` to start | 6 bytes/instance |
| 3 | `PayloadProcessor` | Consolidate bools to bitfield | 24 bytes/instance |
| 4 | `HeaderEntry` | Move `hit_count` to end | 7 bytes/entry |
### Medium Effort (Good ROI)
| Priority | Structure | Change | Est. Savings |
|----------|-----------|--------|--------------|
| 5 | `MultiProof` | Consolidate mask maps | 1 HashMap alloc |
| 6 | `StorageMultiProof` | Consolidate mask maps | 1 HashMap alloc |
| 7 | `SerialSparseTrie` | Consolidate mask maps | 1 HashMap alloc |
| 8 | `PrewarmContext` | Group related fields | Better cache locality |
| 9 | `AccountProof` | Reorder by size | 4-8 bytes/instance |
### Strategic (Requires Deeper Changes)
| Priority | Structure | Change | Impact |
|----------|-----------|--------|--------|
| 10 | `SparseNode` | External hash storage | 8-16 bytes/node |
| 11 | `SparseNode` | Pack flags into u8 | 2 bytes/node |
| 12 | `ExecutionCache` | Unified cache design | Reduced allocations |
| 13 | `PrewarmContext` | Arc-shared immutable data | Reduced cloning |
### Mask Map Consolidation Pattern
```rust
// Before: Two separate HashMaps
pub branch_node_hash_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
pub branch_node_tree_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMask>,
// After: Single HashMap with tuple value
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Default)]
pub struct TrieMasks {
pub hash: TrieMask, // 2 bytes
pub tree: TrieMask, // 2 bytes
} // Total: 4 bytes, no padding
pub branch_node_masks: HashMap<Nibbles, TrieMasks>,
```
This pattern applies to:
- `MultiProof`
- `DecodedMultiProof`
- `StorageMultiProof`
- `DecodedStorageMultiProof`
- `SerialSparseTrie`
- `ParallelSparseTrie`
