This PR makes
filtermaps.ChainView
thread safe because it is used concurrently both by the indexer and multiple matcher threads. Even though it represents an immutable view of the chain, adding a mutex lock to theblockHash
function is necessary because it does so by extending its list of non-canonical hashes if the underlying blockchain is changed.The unsafe concurrency did cause a panic once after running the unit tests for several hours and it could also happen during live operation.
