* add some comments on things that look a bit bogus
* rename this `state` variable to avoid confusion with the `state` used
elsewhere in this function. (There was no actual conflict, but it was
a confusing bit of spaghetti.)
when processing incoming transactions, it can be hard to see what's going on,
because we process a bunch of stuff in parallel, and because we may end up
recursively working our way through a chain of three or four events.
This commit creates a way to use logcontexts to add the relevant event ids to
the log lines.
This ensures that its resource usage metrics get recorded somewhere rather than
getting lost.
(It also fixes an error when called from a nested logging context which
completes before the bg process)
It used to try and produce an estimate, which was sometimes negative.
This caused metrics to be sad, so lets always just calculate it from
scratch.
(This appears to have been a longstanding bug, but one which has been made more
of a problem by #3932 and #3933).
(This was originally done by Erik as part of #3933. I'm cherry-picking it
because really it's a fix in its own right)
Synapse doesn’t allow for media resources to be played directly from
Chrome. It is a problem for users on other networks (e.g. IRC)
communicating with Matrix users through a gateway. The gateway sends
them the raw URL for the resource when a Matrix user uploads a video
and the video cannot be played directly in Chrome using that URL.
Chrome argues it is not authorized to play the video because of the
Content Security Policy. Chrome checks for the "media-src" policy which
is missing, and defauts to the "default-src" policy which is "none".
As Synapse already sends "object-src: 'self'" I thought it wouldn’t be
a problem to add "media-src: 'self'" to the CSP to fix this problem.
symlinks apparently break setuptools on python3 and alpine
(https://bugs.python.org/issue31940), so let's stop using a symlink and just
use the file directly.
Given we have disabled lazy loading for incr syncs in #3840, we can make self-LL more efficient by only doing it on initial sync. Also adds a bounds check for if/when we change our mind, so that we don't try to include LL members on sync responses with no timeline.
ExpiringCache required that `start()` be called before it would actually
start expiring entries. A number of places didn't do that.
This PR removes `start` from ExpiringCache, and automatically starts
backround reaping process on creation instead.
If a HTTP handler throws an exception while processing a request we
automatically write a JSON error response. If the handler had already
started writing a response twisted throws an exception.
We should check for this case and simple abort the connection if there
was an error after the response had started being written.
Add some informative comments about what's going on here.
Also, `sent_to_us_directly` and `get_missing` were doing the same thing (apart
from in `_handle_queued_pdus`, which looks like a bug), so let's get rid of
`get_missing` and use `sent_to_us_directly` consistently.
Let's try to rationalise the logging that happens when we are processing an
incoming transaction, to make it easier to figure out what is going wrong when
they take ages. In particular:
- make everything start with a [room_id event_id] prefix
- make sure we log a warning when catching exceptions rather than just turning
them into other, more cryptic, exceptions.
Currently we rely on the master to invalidate this cache promptly.
However, after having moved most federation endpoints off of master this
no longer happens, causing outbound fedeariont to get blackholed.
Fixes#3798
The existing deferred timeout helper function (and the one into twisted)
suffer from a bug when a deferred's canceller throws an exception, #3842.
The new helper function doesn't suffer from this problem.
