We have to do this by re-inserting a background update and recreating
tables, as the tables only get created during a background update and
will later be deleted.
We also make sure that we remove any entries that should have been
removed but weren't due to a race that has been fixed in a previous
commit.
When we receive a soft failed event we, correctly, *do not* update the
forward extremity table with the event. However, if we later receive an
event that references the soft failed event we then need to remove the
soft failed events prev events from the forward extremities table,
otherwise we just build up forward extremities.
Fixes#5269
When enabling the account validity feature, Synapse will look at startup for registered account without an expiration date, and will set one equals to 'now + validity_period' for them. On large servers, it can mean that a large number of users will have the same expiration date, which means that they will all be sent a renewal email at the same time, which isn't ideal.
In order to mitigate this, this PR allows server admins to define a 'max_delta' so that the expiration date is a random value in the [now + validity_period ; now + validity_period + max_delta] range. This allows renewal emails to be progressively sent over a configured period instead of being sent all in one big batch.
This is a first step to checking that the key is valid at the required moment.
The idea here is that, rather than passing VerifyKey objects in and out of the
storage layer, we instead pass FetchKeyResult objects, which simply wrap the
VerifyKey and add a valid_until_ts field.
Storing server keys hammered the database a bit. This replaces the
implementation which stored a single key, with one which can do many updates at
once.
I was staring at this function trying to figure out wtf it was actually
doing. This is (hopefully) a non-functional refactor which makes it a bit
clearer.
If account validity is enabled in the server's configuration, this job will run at startup as a background job and will stick an expiration date to any registered account missing one.
