The bg update never managed to complete, because it kept being interrupted by
transactions which want to take a lock.
Just doing it in the foreground isn't that bad, and is a good deal simpler.
A couple of changes of significance:
* remove the `_last_ack < federation_position` condition, so that
updates will still be correctly processed after restart
* Correctly wire up send_federation_ack to the right class.
we can use `make_in_list_sql_clause` rather than doing our own half-baked
equivalent, which has the benefit of working just fine with empty lists.
(This has quite a lot of tests, so I think it's pretty safe)
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
Instead of doing a complicated dance of deleting and moving aliases one
by one, which sends a canonical alias update into the old room for each
one, lets do it all in one go.
This also changes the function to move *all* local alias events to the new
room, however that happens later on anyway.
PyPy's gc.get_stats() returns an object containing detailed allocator statistics
which could be beneficial to collect as metrics.

When a call to `user_device_resync` fails, we don't currently mark the remote user's device list as out of sync, nor do we retry to sync it.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6776 introduced some code infrastructure to mark device lists as stale/out of sync.
This commit uses that code infrastructure to mark device lists as out of sync if processing an incoming device list update makes the device handler realise that the device list is out of sync, but we can't resync right now.
It also adds a looping call to retry all failed resync every 30s. This shouldn't cause too much spam in the logs as this commit also removes the "Failed to handle device list update for..." warning logs when catching `NotRetryingDestination`.
Fixes#7418
We don't really make any promises about returning accurate presence data when
presence is disabled, so we may as well just return a static response, rather
than making the master handle a request.
`_is_server_still_joined` will throw if it is given state updates with non-user ID state keys with local user leaves. This is actually rarely a problem since local leaves almost always get persisted by themselves.
(I discovered this on a branch that was otherwise broken, so I haven't seen this in the wild)

- Hash passwords as early as possible during registration. #7523
Make sure that the AccountDataStream presents complete updates, in the right
order.
This is much the same fix as #7337 and #7358, but applied to a different stream.
This is required as both event persistence and the background update needs access to this function. It should be perfectly safe for two workers to write to that table at the same time.
This allows us to have the logic on both master and workers, which is necessary to move event persistence off master.
We also combine the instantiation of ID generators from DataStore and slave stores to the base worker stores. This allows us to select which process writes events independently of the master/worker splits.

Fix a bug where the `get_joined_users` cache could be corrupted by custom
status events (or other state events with a state_key matching the user ID).
The bug was introduced by #2229, but has largely gone unnoticed since then.
Fixes#7099, #7373.
The aim here is to get to a stage where we have a `PersistEventStore` that holds all the write methods used during event persistence, so that we can take that class out of the `DataStore` mixin and instansiate it separately. This will allow us to instansiate it on processes other than master, while also ensuring it is only available on processes that are configured to write to events stream.
This is a bit of an architectural change, where we end up with multiple classes per data store (rather than one per data store we have now). We end up having:
1. Storage classes that provide high level APIs that can talk to multiple data stores.
2. Data store modules that consist of classes that must point at the same database instance.
3. Classes in a data store that can be instantiated on processes depending on config.
Before all streams were only written to from master, so only master needed to respond to `REPLICATE` commands.
Before all instances wrote to the cache invalidation stream, but didn't respond to `REPLICATE`. This was a bug, which could lead to missed rows from cache invalidation stream if an instance is restarted, however all the caches would be empty in that case so it wasn't a problem.
Proactively send out `POSITION` commands (as if we had just received a `REPLICATE`) when we connect to Redis. This is important as other instances won't notice we've connected to issue a `REPLICATE` command (unlike for direct TCP connections). This is only currently an issue if master process reconnects without restarting (if it restarts then it won't have written anything and so other instances probably won't have missed anything).

1.13.0rc1
Documentation on setting up redis (#7446)
Rework UI Auth session validation for registration (#7455)
Fix errors from malformed log line (#7454)
Drop support for redis.dbid (#7450)
For the record, the reason we need this is as follows:
each RDATA command comes down the redis pipe as a subscription message. txredisapi as written needs at least three reactor ticks to read each subscription message from the tcp buffer. Hence, once the process gets loaded, it starts getting behind, and eventually redis knifes the connection. it then takes ages for the master to work its way through the backlog, before it reconnects again, during which any commands from any workers are dropped.
We forgot to set the password on the subscriber connection, as well as
not calling super methods for overridden connectionMade/connectionLost
functions.
For in memory streams when fetching updates on workers we need to query the source of the stream, which currently is hard coded to be master. This PR threads through the source instance we received via `POSITION` through to the update function in each stream, which can then be passed to the replication client for in memory streams.
We move the processing of typing and federation replication traffic into their handlers so that `Stream.current_token()` points to a valid token. This allows us to remove `get_streams_to_replicate()` and `stream_positions()`.
By persisting the user interactive authentication sessions to the database, this fixes
situations where a user hits different works throughout their auth session and also
allows sessions to persist through restarts of Synapse.
This is primarily for allowing us to send those commands from workers, but for now simply allows us to ignore echoed RDATA/POSITION commands that we sent (we get echoes of sent commands when using redis). Currently we log a WARNING on the master process every time we receive an echoed RDATA.
For direct TCP connections we need the master to relay REMOTE_SERVER_UP
commands to the other connections so that all instances get notified
about it. The old implementation just relayed to all connections,
assuming that sending back to the original sender of the command was
safe. This is not true for redis, where commands sent get echoed back to
the sender, which was causing master to effectively infinite loop
sending and then re-receiving REMOTE_SERVER_UP commands that it sent.
The fix is to ensure that we only relay to *other* connections and not
to the connection we received the notification from.
Fixes#7334.
* Factor out functions for injecting events into database
I want to add some more flexibility to the tools for injecting events into the
database, and I don't want to clutter up HomeserverTestCase with them, so let's
factor them out to a new file.
* Rework TestReplicationDataHandler
This wasn't very easy to work with: the mock wrapping was largely superfluous,
and it's useful to be able to inspect the received rows, and clear out the
received list.
* Fix AssertionErrors being thrown by EventsStream
Part of the problem was that there was an off-by-one error in the assertion,
but also the limit logic was too simple. Fix it all up and add some tests.
If the admin adds a `.yaml` file that's either empty or doesn't parse into a dict to a config directory (e.g. `conf.d` for debs installs), stuff like https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322 would happen. This PR checks that the file is correctly parsed into a dict, or ignores it with a warning if it parses into any other type (including `None` for empty files).
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322
Figuring out how to correctly limit updates from this stream without dropping
entries is far more complicated than just counting the number of rows being
returned. We need to consider each query separately and, if any one query hits
the limit, truncate the results from the others.
I think this also fixes some potentially long-standing bugs where events or
state changes could get missed if we hit the limit on either query.
Long story short: if we're handling presence on the current worker, we shouldn't be sending USER_SYNC commands over replication.
In an attempt to figure out what is going on here, I ended up refactoring some bits of the presencehandler code, so the first 4 commits here are non-functional refactors to move this code slightly closer to sanity. (There's still plenty to do here :/). Suggest reviewing individual commits.
Fixes (I hope) #7257.

First some background: StreamChangeCache is used to keep track of what "entities" have
changed since a given stream ID. So for example, we might use it to keep track of when the last
to-device message for a given user was received [1], and hence whether we need to pull any to-device messages from the database on a sync [2].
Now, it turns out that StreamChangeCache didn't support more than one thing being changed at
a given stream_id (this was part of the problem with #7206). However, it's entirely valid to send
to-device messages to more than one user at a time.
As it turns out, this did in fact work, because *some* methods of StreamChangeCache coped
ok with having multiple things changing on the same stream ID, and it seems we never actually
use the methods which don't work on the stream change caches where we allow multiple
changes at the same stream ID. But that feels horribly fragile, hence: let's update
StreamChangeCache to properly support this, and add some typing and some more tests while
we're at it.
[1]: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.12.3/synapse/storage/data_stores/main/deviceinbox.py#L301
[2]: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/release-v1.12.3/synapse/storage/data_stores/main/deviceinbox.py#L47-L51
Splitting based on the response code means we can avoid double logging here and identical information from line 164 while still logging at info if we don't get a good response and need to retry.
Other parts of the code (such as the StreamChangeCache) assume that there will
not be multiple changes with the same stream id.
This code was introduced in #7024, and I hope this fixes#7206.

The general idea here is to get rid of the type: ignore annotations on all of the current_token and update_function assignments, which would have caught #7290.
After a bit of experimentation, it seems like the least-awful way to do this is to pass the offending functions in as parameters to the Stream constructor. Unfortunately that means that the concrete implementations no longer have the same constructor signature as Stream itself, which means that it gets hard to correctly annotate STREAMS_MAP.
I've also introduced a couple of new types, to take out some duplication.
Some of the query functions return generators rather than lists, so we can't
index into the result. Happily we already have a copy of the results.
(think this was introduced in #7024)
I don't really remember why this was so complicated; I think it dates
back to the time when we had to instantiate the Config classes before
we could call `add_arguments` - ie before #5597. In any case, I don't
think there's a good reason for it any more, and the impact of it
being complicated is that `--help` doesn't work correctly.
`REPLICATE` is now a valid command, and it's nice if you can issue it from the
console without remembering to call it `REPLICATE ` with a trailing space.
Separate `SimpleCommand` from `Command`, so that things which don't want to use
the `data` property don't have to, and thus fix the warnings PyCharm was giving
me about not calling `__init__` in the base class.
The aim here is to move the command handling out of the TCP protocol classes and to also merge the client and server command handling (so that we can reuse them for redis protocol). This PR simply moves the client paths to the new `ReplicationCommandHandler`, a future PR will move the server paths too.
Fixes#6815
Before figuring out whether we should alert a user on MAU, we call get_notice_room_for_user to get some info on the existing server notices room for this user. This function, if the room doesn't exist, creates it and invites the user in it. This means that, if we decide later that no server notice is needed, the user gets invited in a room with no message in it. This happens at every restart of the server, since the room ID returned by get_notice_room_for_user is cached.
This PR fixes that by moving the inviting bit to a dedicated function, that's only called when the server actually needs to send a notice to the user. A potential issue with this approach is that the room that's created by get_notice_room_for_user doesn't match how that same function looks for an existing room (i.e. it creates a room that doesn't have an invite or a join for the current user in it, so it could lead to a new room being created each time a user syncs), but I'm not sure this is a problem given it's cached until the server restarts, so that function won't run very often.
It also renames get_notice_room_for_user into get_or_create_notice_room_for_user to make what it does clearer.
Occasionally we could get a federation device list update transaction which
looked like:
```
[
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D2', 'prev_id': [], 'stream_id': 12, 'deleted': True}},
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D1', 'prev_id': [12], 'stream_id': 11, 'deleted': True}},
{'edu_type': 'm.device_list_update', 'content': {'user_id': '@user:test', 'device_id': 'D3', 'prev_id': [11], 'stream_id': 13, 'deleted': True}}
]
```
Having `stream_ids` which are lower than `prev_ids` looks odd. It might work
(I'm not actually sure), but in any case it doesn't seem like a reasonable
thing to expect other implementations to support.

Fix starting workers when federation sending not split out.
This broke in a recent PR (#7024) and is no longer useful due to all
replication clients implicitly subscribing to all streams, so let's
just remove it.
If there was an exception setting up one of the attributes of the Homeserver
god object, then future attempts to fetch that attribute would raise a
confusing "Cyclic dependency" error. Let's make sure that we clear the
`building` flag so that we just get the original exception.
Ref: #7169
* Remove `conn_id` usage for UserSyncCommand.
Each tcp replication connection is assigned a "conn_id", which is used
to give an ID to a remotely connected worker. In a redis world, there
will no longer be a one to one mapping between connection and instance,
so instead we need to replace such usages with an ID generated by the
remote instances and included in the replicaiton commands.
This really only effects UserSyncCommand.
* Add CLEAR_USER_SYNCS command that is sent on shutdown.
This should help with the case where a synchrotron gets restarted
gracefully, rather than rely on 5 minute timeout.
That fallback sets the redirect URL to itself (so it can process the login
token then return gracefully to the client). This would make it pointless to
ask the user for confirmation, since the URL the confirmation page would be
showing wouldn't be the client's.
* Don't show the login forms if we're currently logging in with a
password or a token.
* Submit directly the SSO login form, showing only a spinner to the
user, in order to eliminate from the clunkiness of SSO through this
fallback.

This changes the replication protocol so that the server does not send down `RDATA` for rows that happened before the client connected. Instead, the server will send a `POSITION` and clients then query the database (or master out of band) to get up to date.
* Pull Sentinel out of LoggingContext
... and drop a few unnecessary references to it
* Factor out LoggingContext.current_context
move `current_context` and `set_context` out to top-level functions.
Mostly this means that I can more easily trace what's actually referring to
LoggingContext, but I think it's generally neater.
* move copy-to-parent into `stop`
this really just makes `start` and `stop` more symetric. It also means that it
behaves correctly if you manually `set_log_context` rather than using the
context manager.
* Replace `LoggingContext.alive` with `finished`
Turn `alive` into `finished` and make it a bit better defined.
* Add 'device_lists_outbound_pokes' as extra table.
This makes sure we check all the relevant tables to get the current max
stream ID.
Currently not doing so isn't problematic as the max stream ID in
`device_lists_outbound_pokes` is the same as in `device_lists_stream`,
however that will change.
* Change device lists stream to have one row per id.
This will make it possible to process the streams more incrementally,
avoiding having to process large chunks at once.
* Change device list replication to match new semantics.
Instead of sending down batches of user ID/host tuples, send down a row
per entity (user ID or host).
* Newsfile
* Remove handling of multiple rows per ID
* Fix worker handling
* Comments from review
This should be safe to do on all workers/masters because it is guarded by
a config option which will ensure it is only actually done on the worker
assigned as a pusher.
It was originally implemented by pulling the full auth chain of all
state sets out of the database and doing set comparison. However, that
can take a lot work if the state and auth chains are large.
Instead, lets try and fetch the auth chains at the same time and
calculate the difference on the fly, allowing us to bail early if all
the auth chains converge. Assuming that the auth chains do converge more
often than not, this should improve performance. Hopefully.
Fixes#7065
This is basically the same as https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6847 except it tries to populate events from `state_events` rather than `current_state_events`, since the latter might have been cleared from the state of some rooms too early, leaving them with a `NULL` room version.
If an error happened while processing a SAML AuthN response, or a client
ends up doing a `GET` request to `/authn_response`, then render a
customisable error page rather than a confusing error.
Fixes#7054
I also had a look at the rest of the functions in
`EventPushActionsStore` and in the push notifications send code and it
looks to me like there shouldn't be any other method with this issue in
this part of the codebase.
This is a bit fiddly because it all has to be done on one fell swoop:
* Wherever we create a new event, pass in the room version (and check it matches the format version)
* When we prune an event, use the room version of the unpruned event to create the pruned version.
* When we pass an event over the replication protocol, pass the room version over alongside it, and use it when deserialising the event again.
This currently causes presence notify code to log exceptions when there
is no state changes to process. This doesn't actually cause any problems
as we'd simply do nothing anyway.
This makes sure we check all the relevant tables to get the current max
stream ID.
Currently not doing so isn't problematic as the max stream ID in
`device_lists_outbound_pokes` is the same as in `device_lists_stream`,
however that will change.
Instead lets just warn if the worker has a media listener configured but
has the media repository disabled.
Previously non media repository workers would just ignore the media
listener.
When we get an invite over federation, store the room version in the rooms table.
The general idea here is that, when we pull the invite out again, we'll want to know what room_version it belongs to (so that we can later redact it if need be). So we need to store it somewhere...
This is intended as a precursor to storing room versions when we receive an
invite over federation, but has the happy side-effect of fixing #3374 at last.
In short: change the store_room with try/except to a proper upsert which
updates the right columns.
* Give `notif_template_html`, `notif_template_text` default values (fixes#6960)
* Don't complain if `smtp_host` and `smtp_port` are unset, since they have sensible defaults (fixes#6961)
* Set the example for `enable_notifs` to `True`, for consistency and because it's more useful
* Raise errors as ConfigError rather than RuntimeError for nicer formatting
The state res v2 algorithm only cares about the difference between auth
chains, so we can pass in the known common state to the `get_auth_chain`
storage function so that it can ignore those events.
* Increase DB/CPU perf of `_is_server_still_joined` check.
For rooms with large amount of state a single user leaving could cause
us to go and load a lot of membership events and then pull out
membership state in a large number of batches.

We're in the middle of properly mitigating spam caused by malicious aliases being added to a room. However, until this work fully lands, we temporarily filter out all m.room.aliases events from /sync and /messages on the CS API, to remove abusive aliases. This is considered acceptable as m.room.aliases events were never a reliable record of the given alias->id mapping and were purely informational, and in their current state do more harm than good.
A lot of the things we log at INFO are now a bit superfluous, so lets
make them DEBUG logs to reduce the amount we log by default.

- Fix to the unknown remote device detection which was introduced in 1.10.rc1. ([\#6848](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6848))
Internal Changes
----------------
- Detect unexpected sender keys on remote encrypted events and resync device lists. ([\#6850](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6850))
We were looking at the wrong event type (`m.room.encryption` vs
`m.room.encrypted`).
Also fixup the duplicate `EvenTypes` entries.
Introduced in #6776.
I messed this up a bit in #6805, but fortunately we weren't actually doing
anything with the room_version so it didn't matter that it was a str not a RoomVersion.
When a server leaves a room it may stop sharing a room with remote
users, and thus not get any updates to their device lists. So we need to
check for this case and delete those device lists from the cache.
We don't need to do this if we stop sharing a room because the remote
user leaves the room, because we track that case via looking at
membership changes.
If we detect that the remote users' keys may have changed then we should
attempt to resync against the remote server rather than using the
(potentially) stale local cache.
We were sending device updates down both the federation stream and
device streams. This mean there was a race if the federation sender
worker processed the federation stream first, as when the sender checked
if there were new device updates the slaved ID generator hadn't been
updated with the new stream IDs and so returned nothing.
This situation is correctly handled by events/receipts/etc by not
sending updates down the federation stream and instead having the
federation sender worker listen on the other streams and poke the
transaction queues as appropriate.
Otherwise its just stale data, which may get deleted later anyway so
can't be relied on. It's also a bit of a shotgun if we're trying to get
the current state of a room we're not in.
These are easier to work with than the strings and we normally have one around.
This fixes `FederationHander._persist_auth_tree` which was passing a
RoomVersion object into event_auth.check instead of a string.
There are quite a few places that we assume that a redaction event has a
corresponding `redacts` key, which is not always the case. So lets
cheekily make it so that event.redacts just returns None instead.
Turns out that figuring out a remote user id for the SAML user isn't quite as obvious as it seems. Factor it out to the SamlMappingProvider so that it's easy to control.
Generally try to make this more comprehensible, and make it match the
conventions.
I've removed the documentation for all the settings which allow you to change
the names of the template files, because I can't really see why they are
useful.
* Port synapse.replication.tcp to async/await
* Newsfile
* Correctly document type of on_<FOO> functions as async
* Don't be overenthusiastic with the asyncing....
When figuring out which topological token to start a purge job at, we
need to do the following:
1. Figure out a timestamp before which events will be purged
2. Select the first stream ordering after that timestamp
3. Select info about the first event after that stream ordering
4. Build a topological token from that info
In some situations (e.g. quiet rooms with a short max_lifetime), there
might not be an event after the stream ordering at step 3, therefore we
abort the purge with the error `No event found`. To mitigate that, this
patch fetches the first event _before_ the stream ordering, instead of
after.
Currently we rely on `current_state_events` to figure out what rooms a
user was in and their last membership event in there. However, if the
server leaves the room then the table may be cleaned up and that
information is lost. So lets add a table that separately holds that
information.
AdditionalResource really doesn't add any value, and it gets in the way for
resources which want to support child resources or the like. So, if the
resource object already implements the IResource interface, don't bother
wrapping it.
Add some useful things, such as error types and logcontext handling, to the
API.
Make `hs` a private member to dissuade people from using it (hopefully
they aren't already).
Add a couple of new methods (`record_user_external_id` and
`generate_short_term_login_token`).
This was ill-advised. We can't modify verify_keys here, because the response
object has already been signed by the requested key.
Furthermore, it's somewhat unnecessary because existing versions of Synapse
(which get upset that the notary key isn't present in verify_keys) will fall
back to a direct fetch via `/key/v2/server`.
Also: more tests for fetching keys via perspectives: it would be nice if we actually tested when our fetcher can't talk to our notary impl.
* Kill off redundant SynapseRequestFactory
We already get the Site via the Channel, so there's no need for a dedicated
RequestFactory: we can just use the right constructor.
* Workaround for error when fetching notary's own key
As a notary server, when we return our own keys, include all of our signing
keys in verify_keys.
This is a workaround for #6596.
If acme was enabled, the sdnotify startup hook would never be run because we
would try to add it to a hook which had already fired.
There's no need to delay it: we can sdnotify as soon as we've started the
listeners.
* Remove redundant python2 support code
`str.decode()` doesn't exist on python3, so presumably this code was doing
nothing
* Filter out pushers with corrupt data
When we get a row with unparsable json, drop the row, rather than returning a
row with null `data`, which will then cause an explosion later on.
* Improve logging when we can't start a pusher
Log the ID to help us understand the problem
* Make email pusher setup more robust
We know we'll have a `data` member, since that comes from the database. What we
*don't* know is if that is a dict, and if that has a `brand` member, and if
that member is a string.
Previously we tried to be clever and filter out some unnecessary event
IDs to keep the auth chain small, but that had some annoying
interactions with state res v2 so we stop doing that for now.

This fixes a weird bug where, if you were determined enough, you could end up with a rejected event forming part of the state at a backwards-extremity. Authing that backwards extrem would then lead to us trying to pull the rejected event from the db (with allow_rejected=False), which would fail with a 404.
When we request the state/auth_events to populate a backwards extremity (on
backfill or in the case of missing events in a transaction push), we should
check that the returned events are in the right room rather than blindly using
them in the room state or auth chain.
Given that _get_events_from_store_or_dest takes a room_id, it seems clear that
it should be sanity-checking the room_id of the requested events, so let's do
it there.
Make it return the state *after* the requested event, rather than the one
before it. This is a bit easier and requires fewer calls to
get_events_from_store_or_dest.

Authing that backwards extrem would then lead to us trying to pull the rejected event from the db (with allow_rejected=False), which would fail with a 404.
Sometimes the filtering function can return a pruned version of an event (on top of either the event itself or an empty list), if it thinks the user should be able to see that there's an event there but not the content of that event. Therefore, the previous logic of 'if filtered is empty then we can use the event we retrieved from the database' is flawed, and we should use the event returned by the filtering function.

`Measure` incorrectly assumed that it was the only thing being done by the parent `LoggingContext`. For instance, during a "renew group attestations" operation, hundreds of `outbound_request` calls could take place in parallel, all using the same `LoggingContext`. This would mean that any resources used during *any* of those calls would be reported against *all* of them, producing wildly inaccurate results.
Instead, we now give each `Measure` block its own `LoggingContext` (using the parent `LoggingContext` mechanism to ensure that the log lines look correct and that the metrics are ultimately propogated to the top level for reporting against requests/backgrond tasks).
have_events was a map from event_id to rejection reason (or None) for events
which are in our local database. It was used as filter on the list of
event_ids being passed into get_events_as_list. However, since
get_events_as_list will ignore any event_ids that are unknown or rejected, we
can equivalently just leave it to get_events_as_list to do the filtering.
That means that we don't have to keep `have_events` up-to-date, and can use
`have_seen_events` instead of `get_seen_events_with_rejection` in the one place
we do need it.
Implement part [MSC2228](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2228). The parts that differ are:
* the feature is hidden behind a configuration flag (`enable_ephemeral_messages`)
* self-destruction doesn't happen for state events
* only implement support for the `m.self_destruct_after` field (not the `m.self_destruct` one)
* doesn't send synthetic redactions to clients because for this specific case we consider the clients to be able to destroy an event themselves, instead we just censor it (by pruning its JSON) in the database
Purge jobs don't delete the latest event in a room in order to keep the forward extremity and not break the room. On the other hand, get_state_events, when given an at_token argument calls filter_events_for_client to know if the user can see the event that matches that (sync) token. That function uses the retention policies of the events it's given to filter out those that are too old from a client's view.
Some clients, such as Riot, when loading a room, request the list of members for the latest sync token it knows about, and get confused to the point of refusing to send any message if the server tells it that it can't get that information. This can happen very easily with the message retention feature turned on and a room with low activity so that the last event sent becomes too old according to the room's retention policy.
An easy and clean fix for that issue is to discard the room's retention policies when retrieving state.

Doing a SELECT DISTINCT when paginating is quite expensive, because it requires the engine to do sorting on the entire events table. However, we only need to run it if we're filtering on 2+ labels, so this PR is changing the request so that DISTINCT is only used then.
We were doing this in a number of places which meant that some login
code paths incremented the counter multiple times.
It was also applying ratelimiting to UIA endpoints, which was probably
not intentional.
In particular, some custom auth modules were calling
`check_user_exists`, which incremented the counters, meaning that people
would fail to login sometimes.
Fixes a bug where rejected events were persisted with the wrong state group.
Also fixes an occasional internal-server-error when receiving events over
federation which are rejected and (possibly because they are
backwards-extremities) have no prev_group.
Fixes#6289.
* Raise an exception if accessing state for rejected events
Add some sanity checks on accessing state_group etc for
rejected events.
* Skip calculating push actions for rejected events
It didn't actually cause any bugs, because rejected events get filtered out at
various later points, but there's not point in trying to calculate the push
actions for a rejected event.
When the `/keys/query` API is hit on client_reader worker Synapse may
decide that it needs to resync some remote deivces. Usually this happens
on master, and then gets cached. However, that fails on workers and so
it falls back to fetching devices from remotes directly, which may in
turn fail if the remote is down.
While the current version of the spec doesn't say much about how this endpoint uses filters (see https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/2338), the current implementation is that some fields of an EventFilter apply (the ones that are used when running the SQL query) and others don't (the ones that are used by the filter itself) because we don't call event_filter.filter(...). This seems counter-intuitive and probably not what we want so this commit fixes it.
The intention here is to make it clearer which fields we can expect to be
populated when: notably, that the _event_type etc aren't used for the
synchronous impl of EventContext.
The `http_proxy` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars can be set to a `host[:port]` value which should point to a proxy.
The address of the proxy should be excluded from IP blacklists such as the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist`.
The proxy will then be used for
* push
* url previews
* phone-home stats
* recaptcha validation
* CAS auth validation
It will *not* be used for:
* Application Services
* Identity servers
* Outbound federation
* In worker configurations, connections from workers to masters
Fixes#4198.
