Whenever we want to persist an event, we first compute an event context,
which includes the state at the event and a flag indicating whether the
state is partial. After a lot of processing, we finally try to store the
event in the database, which can fail for partial state events when the
containing room has been un-partial stated in the meantime.
We detect the race as a foreign key constraint failure in the data store
layer and turn it into a special `PartialStateConflictError` exception,
which makes its way up to the method in which we computed the event
context.
To make things difficult, the exception needs to cross a replication
request: `/fed_send_events` for events coming over federation and
`/send_event` for events from clients. We transport the
`PartialStateConflictError` as a `409 Conflict` over replication and
turn `409`s back into `PartialStateConflictError`s on the worker making
the request.
All client events go through
`EventCreationHandler.handle_new_client_event`, which is called in
*a lot* of places. Instead of trying to update all the code which
creates client events, we turn the `PartialStateConflictError` into a
`429 Too Many Requests` in
`EventCreationHandler.handle_new_client_event` and hope that clients
take it as a hint to retry their request.
On the federation event side, there are 7 places which compute event
contexts. 4 of them use outlier event contexts:
`FederationEventHandler._auth_and_persist_outliers_inner`,
`FederationHandler.do_knock`, `FederationHandler.on_invite_request` and
`FederationHandler.do_remotely_reject_invite`. These events won't have
the partial state flag, so we do not need to do anything for then.
The remaining 3 paths which create events are
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`,
`FederationEventHandler.on_send_membership_event` and
`FederationEventHandler._process_received_pdu`.
We can't experience the race in `process_remote_join`, unless we're
handling an additional join into a partial state room, which currently
blocks, so we make no attempt to handle it correctly.
`on_send_membership_event` is only called by
`FederationServer._on_send_membership_event`, so we catch the
`PartialStateConflictError` there and retry just once.
`_process_received_pdu` is called by `on_receive_pdu` for incoming
events and `_process_pulled_event` for backfill. The latter should never
try to persist partial state events, so we ignore it. We catch the
`PartialStateConflictError` in `on_receive_pdu` and retry just once.
Refering to the graph of code paths in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12988#issuecomment-1156857648
may make the above make more sense.

When we fail to persist a federation event, we kick off a task to remove
its push actions in the background, using the current logging context.
Since we don't `await` that task, we may finish our logging context
before the task finishes. There's no reason to not `await` the task, so
let's do that.

* Add auth events to events used in tests
* Move some event auth checks out to a different method
Some of the event auth checks apply to an event's auth_events, rather than the
state at the event - which means they can play no part in state
resolution. Move them out to a separate method.
* Rename check_auth_rules_for_event
Now it only checks the state-dependent auth rules, it needs a better name.
Fixes#11887 hopefully.
The core change here is that `event_push_summary` now holds a summary of counts up until a much more recent point, meaning that the range of rows we need to count in `event_push_actions` is much smaller.
This needs two major changes:
1. When we get a receipt we need to recalculate `event_push_summary` rather than just delete it
2. The logic for deleting `event_push_actions` is now divorced from calculating `event_push_summary`.
In future it would be good to calculate `event_push_summary` while we persist a new event (it should just be a case of adding one to the relevant rows in `event_push_summary`), as that will further simplify the get counts logic and remove the need for us to periodically update `event_push_summary` in a background job.
This simplifies the access token verification logic by removing the `rights`
parameter which was only ever used for the unsubscribe link in email
notifications. The latter has been moved under the `/_synapse` namespace,
since it is not a standard API.
This also makes the email verification link more secure, by embedding the
app_id and pushkey in the macaroon and verifying it. This prevents the user
from tampering the query parameters of that unsubscribe link.
Macaroon generation is refactored:
- Centralised all macaroon generation and verification logic to the
`MacaroonGenerator`
- Moved to `synapse.utils`
- Changed the constructor to require only a `Clock`, hostname, and a secret key
(instead of a full `Homeserver`).
- Added tests for all methods.
Instead, use the `room_version` property of the event we're checking.
The `room_version` was originally added as a parameter somewhere around #4482,
but really it's been redundant since #6875 added a `room_version` field to `EventBase`.
Instead, use the `room_version` property of the event we're validating.
The `room_version` was originally added as a parameter somewhere around #4482,
but really it's been redundant since #6875 added a `room_version` field to `EventBase`.
By always using delete_devices and sometimes passing a list
with a single device ID.
Previously these methods had gotten out of sync with each
other and it seems there's little benefit to the single-device
variant.
* Update worker docs to remove group endpoints.
* Removes an unused parameter to `ApplicationService`.
* Break dependency between media repo and groups.
* Avoid copying `m.room.related_groups` state events during room upgrades.
Currently, we try to pull the event corresponding to a sync token from the database. However, when
we fetch redaction events, we check the target of that redaction (because we aren't allowed to send
redactions to clients without validating them). So, if the sync token points to a redaction of an event
that we don't have, we have a problem.
It turns out we don't really need that event, and can just work with its ID and metadata, which
sidesteps the whole problem.
==============================
This release of Synapse adds a unique index to the `state_group_edges` table, in
order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example,
because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database
already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and
require manual remediation.
Additionally, the signature of the `check_event_for_spam` module callback has changed.
The previous signature has been deprecated and remains working for now. Module authors
should update their modules to use the new signature where possible.

Makes it so that groups/communities no longer exist from a user-POV. E.g. we remove:
* All API endpoints (including Client-Server, Server-Server, and admin).
* Documented configuration options (and the experimental flag, which is now unused).
* Special handling during room upgrades.
* The `groups` section of the `/sync` response.
A minor optimization to avoid unnecessary copying/building
identical dictionaries when filtering private read receipts.
Also clarifies comments and cleans-up some tests.
Parse the `m.relates_to` event content field (which describes relations)
in a single place, this is used during:
* Event persistence.
* Validation of the Client-Server API.
* Fetching bundled aggregations.
* Processing of push rules.
Each of these separately implement the logic and each made slightly
different assumptions about what was valid. Some had minor / potential
bugs.
Refactor how the `EventContext` class works, with the intention of reducing the amount of state we fetch from the DB during event processing.
The idea here is to get rid of the cached `current_state_ids` and `prev_state_ids` that live in the `EventContext`, and instead defer straight to the database (and its caching).
One change that may have a noticeable effect is that we now no longer prefill the `get_current_state_ids` cache on a state change. However, that query is relatively light, since its just a case of reading a table from the DB (unlike fetching state at an event which is more heavyweight). For deployments with workers this cache isn't even used.
Part of #12684
There's no guarantee that module callbacks will handle cancellation
appropriately. Protect module callbacks with read semantics from
cancellation and avoid swallowing `CancelledError`s that arise.
Other module callbacks, such as the `on_*` callbacks, are presumed to
live on code paths that involve writes and aren't cancellation-friendly.
These module callbacks have been left alone.

Fixes a regression from 8b309adb43 (#11660)
and b65acead42 (#11752) where events which
themselves were an edit or an annotation could have bundled aggregations calculated,
which is not allowed.
getClientIP was deprecated in Twisted 18.4.0, which also added
getClientAddress. The Synapse minimum version for Twisted is
currently 18.9.0, so all supported versions have the new API.
* Changes hidden read receipts to be a separate receipt type
(instead of a field on `m.read`).
* Updates the `/receipts` endpoint to accept `m.fully_read`.
The `latest_event` field of the bundled aggregations for `m.thread` relations
did not include bundled aggregations itself. This resulted in clients needing to
immediately request the event from the server (and thus making it useless that
the latest event itself was serialized instead of just including an event ID).
Over time we've begun to use newer versions of mypy, typeshed, stub
packages---and of course we've improved our own annotations. This makes
some type ignore comments no longer necessary. I have removed them.
There was one exception: a module that imports `select.epoll`. The
ignore is redundant on Linux, but I've kept it ignored for those of us
who work on the source tree using not-Linux. (#11771)
I'm more interested in the config line which enforces this. I want
unused ignores to be reported, because I think it's useful feedback when
annotating to know when you've fixed a problem you had to previously
ignore.
* Installing extras before typechecking
Lacking an easy way to install all extras generically, let's bite the bullet and
make install the hand-maintained `all` extra before typechecking.
Now that https://github.com/matrix-org/backend-meta/pull/6 is merged to
the release/v1 branch.
Try to avoid an OOM by checking fewer extremities.
Generally this is a big rewrite of _maybe_backfill, to try and fix some of the TODOs and other problems in it. It's best reviewed commit-by-commit.
When we join a room via the faster-joins mechanism, we end up with "partial
state" at some points on the event DAG. Many parts of the codebase need to
wait for the full state to load. So, we implement a mechanism to keep track of
which events have partial state, and wait for them to be fully-populated.
In trying to use the MSC3026 busy presence status, the user's status
would be set back to 'online' next time they synced. This change makes
it so that syncing does not affect a user's presence status if it
is currently set to 'busy': it must be removed through the presence
API.
The MSC defers to implementations on the behaviour of busy presence,
so this ought to remain compatible with the MSC.
We work through all the events with partial state, updating the state at each
of them. Once it's done, we recalculate the state for the whole room, and then
mark the room as having complete state.
* Add some type hints to datastore

Refactor and convert `Linearizer` to async. This makes a `Linearizer`

This is a first step in dealing with #7721.
The idea is basically that rather than calculating the full set of users a device list update needs to be sent to up front, we instead simply record the rooms the user was in at the time of the change. This will allow a few things:
1. we can defer calculating the set of remote servers that need to be poked about the change; and
2. during `/sync` and `/keys/changes` we can avoid also avoid calculating users who share rooms with other users, and instead just look at the rooms that have changed.
However, care needs to be taken to correctly handle server downgrades. As such this PR writes to both `device_lists_changes_in_room` and the `device_lists_outbound_pokes` table synchronously. In a future release we can then bump the database schema compat version to `69` and then we can assume that the new `device_lists_changes_in_room` exists and is handled.
There is a temporary option to disable writing to `device_lists_outbound_pokes` synchronously, allowing us to test the new code path does work (and by implication upgrading to a future release and downgrading to this one will work correctly).
Note: Ideally we'd do the calculation of room to servers on a worker (e.g. the background worker), but currently only master can write to the `device_list_outbound_pokes` table.
If we're missing most of the events in the room state, then we may as well call the /state endpoint, instead of individually requesting each and every event.
The PaginationChunk class attempted to bundle some properties
together, but really just caused callers to jump through hoops and
hid implementation details.
This endpoint was removed from MSC2675 before it was approved.
It is currently unspecified (even in any MSCs) and therefore subject to
removal. It is not implemented by any known clients.
This also changes the bundled aggregation format for `m.annotation`,
which previously included pagination tokens for the `/aggregations`
endpoint, which are no longer useful.

The unstable identifiers are still supported if the experimental configuration
flag is enabled. The unstable identifiers will be removed in a future release.
Since the object it returns is a ReplicationCommandHandler.
This is clean-up from adding support to Redis where the command handler
was added as an additional layer of abstraction from the TCP protocol.
This field is only to be used in the Server-Server API, and not the
Client-Server API, but was being leaked when a federation response
was used in the /hierarchy API.
If we locally generate a rejection for an invite received over federation, it
is stored as an outlier (because we probably don't have the state for the
room). However, currently we still generate a state group for it (even though
the state in that state group will be nonsense).
By setting the `outlier` param on `create_event`, we avoid the nonsensical
state.
When we get a partial_state response from send_join, store information in the
database about it:
* store a record about the room as a whole having partial state, and stash the
list of member servers too.
* flag the join event itself as having partial state
* also, for any new events whose prev-events are partial-stated, note that
they will *also* be partial-stated.
We don't yet make any attempt to interpret this data, so API calls (and a bunch
of other things) are just going to get incorrect data.

this was being imported from the wrong place
* Refactor `concurrently_execute` to use `yieldable_gather_results`
* Improve exception handling in `yieldable_gather_results`

...and various code supporting it.
The /spaces endpoint was from an old version of MSC2946 and included
both a Client-Server and Server-Server API. Note that the unstable
/hierarchy endpoint (from the final version of MSC2946) is not yet
removed.
msc3706 proposes changing the `/send_join` response:
> Any events returned within `state` can be omitted from `auth_chain`.
Currently, we rely on `m.room.create` being returned in `auth_chain`, but since
the `m.room.create` event must necessarily be part of the state, the above
change will break this.
In short, let's look for `m.room.create` in `state` rather than `auth_chain`.
For users with large accounts it is inefficient to calculate the set of
users they share a room with (and takes a lot of space in the cache).
Instead we can look at users whose devices have changed since the last
sync and check if they share a room with the syncing user.
Splits the search code into a few logical functions instead of a single
unreadable function.
There are also a few additional changes for readability.
After refactoring it was clear to see there were some unused and
unnecessary variables, which were simplified.
Part of the Tchap Synapse mainlining.
This allows modules to implement extra logic to figure out whether a given 3PID can be added to the local homeserver. In the Tchap use case, this will allow a Synapse module to interface with the custom endpoint /internal_info.
Only allow files which file size and content types match configured
limits to be set as avatar.
Most of the inspiration from the non-test code comes from matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#19
This is in the context of mainlining the Tchap fork of Synapse. Currently in Tchap usernames are derived from the user's email address (extracted from the UIA results, more specifically the m.login.email.identity step).
This change also exports the check_username method from the registration handler as part of the module API, so that a module can check if the username it's trying to generate is correct and doesn't conflict with an existing one, and fallback gracefully if not.

This is some odds and ends found during the review of #11791
and while continuing to work in this code:
* Return attrs classes instead of dictionaries from some methods
to improve type safety.
* Call `get_bundled_aggregations` fewer times.
* Adds a missing assertion in the tests.
* Do not return empty bundled aggregations for an event (preferring
to not include the bundle at all, as the docstring states).
This is mostly motivated by the tchap use case, where usernames are automatically generated from the user's email address (in a way that allows figuring out the email address from the username). Therefore, it's an issue if we respond to requests on /register and /register/available with M_USER_IN_USE, because it can potentially leak email addresses (which include the user's real name and place of work).
This commit adds a flag to inhibit the M_USER_IN_USE errors that are raised both by /register/available, and when providing a username early into the registration process. This error will still be raised if the user completes the registration process but the username conflicts. This is particularly useful when using modules (https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11790 adds a module callback to set the username of users at registration) or SSO, since they can ensure the username is unique.
More context is available in the PR that introduced this behaviour to synapse-dinsic: matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#48 - as well as the issue in the matrix-dinsic repo: matrix-org/matrix-dinsic#476
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
By returning all of the m.space.child state of the space, not just
the first 50. The number of rooms returned is still capped at 50.
For the federation API this implies that the requesting server will
need to individually query for any other rooms it is not joined to.
This makes the serialization of events synchronous (and it no
longer access the database), but we must manually calculate and
provide the bundled aggregations.
Overall this should cause no change in behavior, but is prep work
for other improvements.
Fixes minor discrepancies between the /hierarchy endpoint described
in MSC2946 and the implementation.
Note that the changes impact the stable and unstable /hierarchy and
unstable /spaces endpoints for both client and federation APIs.
* `_auth_and_persist_outliers`: mark persisted events as outliers
Mark any events that get persisted via `_auth_and_persist_outliers` as, well,
outliers.
Currently this will be a no-op as everything will already be flagged as an
outlier, but I'm going to change that.
* `process_remote_join`: stop flagging as outlier
The events are now flagged as outliers later on, by `_auth_and_persist_outliers`.
* `send_join`: remove `outlier=True`
The events created here are returned in the result of `send_join` to
`FederationHandler.do_invite_join`. From there they are passed into
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`, which passes them to
`_auth_and_persist_outliers`... which sets the `outlier` flag.
* `get_event_auth`: remove `outlier=True`
stop flagging the events returned by `get_event_auth` as outliers. This method
is only called by `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`, which passes the results
into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will flag them as outliers.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove `outlier=True`
we pass all the events into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will now flag
the events as outliers.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
This param is now never set to True, so we can remove it.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one`: remove unused `outlier` param
This is no longer set anywhere, so we can remove it.
* `get_pdu`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
... and chase it down into `get_pdu_from_destination_raw`.
* `event_from_pdu_json`: remove redundant `outlier` param
This is never set to `True`, so can be removed.
* changelog
* update docstring
* Fix AssertionErrors after purging events
If you purged a bunch of events from your database, and then restarted synapse
without receiving more events, then you would get a bunch of AssertionErrors on
restart.
This fixes the situation by rewinding the stream processors.
* `check-newsfragment`: ignore deleted newsfiles
