Problem

A transaction that creates a spl mint executes successfully on v2.3.13 but fails on v3.0.13. This could potentially lead to consensus errors.

I discovered this while running solana-test-validator; I was preparing to create a test spl and constructed a transaction similar to the following:

}

The transaction is generated by a script: https://github.com/mohanson/pxsol/blob/master/example/spl.py

$ python example/spl.py --prikey 0x1 --action create --name PXSOL --symbol PXS --uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mohanson/pxsol/refs/heads/master/res/pxs.json

I've been using version v2.3.13; but today when I upgraded test-validator to v3.0.13, the transaction threw an error:

Exception: {'code': -32002, 'message': 'Transaction simulation failed: Error processing Instruction 3: Failed to reallocate account data', 'data': {'accounts': None, 'err': {'InstructionError': [3, 'InvalidRealloc']}, 'fee': 10000, 'innerInstructions': None, 'loadedAccountsDataSize': 683976, 'loadedAddresses': None, 'logs': ['Program 1111111111111111111111111111111111 invoke [1]', 'Program 11111111111111111111111111111111 success', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb invoke [1]', 'Program log: MetadataPointerInstruction::Initialize', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb consumed 884 of 602850 compute units', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb success', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb invoke [1]', 'Program log: Instruction: InitializeMint', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb consumed 2023 of 601966 compute units', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb success', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb invoke [1]', 'Program log: TokenMetadataInstruction: Initialize', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb consumed 3536 of 599943 compute units', 'Program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb failed: Failed to reallocate account data'], 'postBalances': None, 'postTokenBalances': None, 'preBalances': None, 'preTokenBalances': None, 'replacementBlockhash': None, 'returnData': None, 'unitsConsumed': 603000}}

Proposed Solution

[mohanson]

This appears to be a serious issue; even using the Solana CLI, it fails to create the spl token.

$ spl-token create-token --program-2022 --enable-metadata --decimals 9
Creating token 8C6JZn96wjjWLXRkGGQ4LbhKsTeQyNEkGcWZgd3GYkLv under program TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb
To initialize metadata inside the mint, please run `spl-token initialize-metadata 8C6JZn96wjjWLXRkGGQ4LbhKsTeQyNEkGcWZgd3GYkLv <YOUR_TOKEN_NAME> <YOUR_TOKEN_SYMBOL> <YOUR_TOKEN_URI>`, and sign with the mint authority.
