This has long been something I've wanted to do. Basically the `Daemonize` code
is both too flexible and not flexible enough, in that it offers a bunch of
features that we don't use (changing UID, closing FDs in the child, logging to
syslog) and doesn't offer a bunch that we could do with (redirecting stdout/err
to a file instead of /dev/null; having the parent not exit until the child is
running).
As a first step, I've lifted the Daemonize code and removed the bits we don't
use. This should be a non-functional change. Fixing everything else will come
later.
We've [decided](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5253#issuecomment-665976308) to remove the signature check for v1 lookups.
The signature check has been removed in v2 lookups. v1 lookups are currently deprecated. As mentioned in the above linked issue, this verification was causing deployments for the vector.im and matrix.org IS deployments, and this change is the simplest solution, without being unjustified.
Implementations are encouraged to use the v2 lookup API as it has [increased privacy benefits](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2134).
`StatsHandler` handles updates to the `current_state_delta_stream`, and updates room stats such as the amount of state events, joined users, etc.
However, it counts every new join membership as a new user entering a room (and that user being in another room), whereas it's possible for a user's membership status to go from join -> join, for instance when they change their per-room profile information.
This PR adds a check for join->join membership transitions, and bails out early, as none of the further checks are necessary at that point.
Due to this bug, membership stats in many rooms have ended up being wildly larger than their true values. I am not sure if we also want to include a migration step which recalculates these statistics (possibly using the `_populate_stats_process_rooms` bg update).
Bug introduced in the initial implementation https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/4338.
Thanks to some slightly overzealous cleanup in the
`delete_old_current_state_events`, it's possible to end up with no
`event_forward_extremities` in a room where we have outstanding local
invites. The user would then get a "no create event in auth events" when trying
to reject the invite.
We can hack around it by using the dangling invite as the prev event.

Synapse 1.18.0rc2 (2020-07-28)

- Further optimise queueing of inbound replication commands. ([\#7876](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7876))
IIRC this doesn't break tests because its only hit on reconnection, or something.
Basically, when a process needs to fetch missing updates for the `typing` stream it needs to query the writer instance via HTTP (as we don't write typing notifications to the DB), the problem was that the endpoint (`streams`) was only registered on master and specifically not on the typing writer worker.
Most of the stuff we do for replication commands can be done synchronously. There's no point spinning up background processes if we're not going to need them.
Handling of incoming typing stream updates from replication was not
hooked up on master, effecting set ups where typing was handled on a
different worker.
This is really only a problem if the master process is also handling
sync requests, which is unlikely for those that are at the stage of
moving typing off.
The other observable effect is that if a worker restarts or a
replication connect drops then the typing worker will issue a
`POSITION typing`, triggering master process to try and stream *all*
typing updates from position 0.
Fixes#7907
If we send out an event which refers to `prev_events` which other servers in
the federation are missing, then (after a round or two of backfill attempts),
they will end up asking us for `/state_ids` at a particular point in the DAG.
As per https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7893, this is quite
expensive, and we tend to see lots of very similar requests around the same
time.
We can therefore handle this much more efficiently by using a cache, which (a)
ensures that if we see the same request from multiple servers (or even the same
server, multiple times), then they share the result, and (b) any other servers
that miss the initial excitement can also benefit from the work.
[It's interesting to note that `/state` has a cache for exactly this
reason. `/state` is now essentially unused and replaced with `/state_ids`, but
evidently when we replaced it we forgot to add a cache to the new endpoint.]
For inbound federation requests, if a given remote server makes too many
requests at once, we start stacking them up rather than processing them
immediatedly.
However, that means that there is a fair chance that the requesting server will
disconnect before we start processing the request. In that case, if it was a
read-only request (ie, a GET request), there is absolutely no point in
building a response (and some requests are quite expensive to handle).
Even in the case of a POST request, one of two things will happen:
* Most likely, the requesting server will retry the request and we'll get the
information anyway.
* Even if it doesn't, the requesting server has to assume that we didn't get
the memo, and act accordingly.
In short, we're better off aborting the request at this point rather than
ploughing on with what might be a quite expensive request.
The [postgres setup docs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/postgres.md#set-up-database) recommend setting up your database with user `synapse_user`.
However, uncommenting the postgres defaults in the sample config leave you with user `synapse`.
This PR switches the sample config to recommend `synapse_user`. Took a me a second to figure this out, so assume this will beneficial to others.
It serves no purpose and updating everytime we write to the device inbox
stream means all such transactions will conflict, causing lots of
transaction failures and retries.
When we get behind on replication, we tend to stack up background processes
behind a linearizer. Bg processes are heavy (particularly with respect to
prometheus metrics) and linearizers aren't terribly efficient once the queue
gets long either.
A better approach is to maintain a queue of requests to be processed, and
nominate a single process to work its way through the queue.

When considering rooms to clean up in `delete_old_current_state_events`, skip
rooms which we are creating, which otherwise look a bit like rooms we have
left.
Fixes#7834.
As far as I can tell from the sentry logs, the only time this has actually done
anything in the last two years is when we had two master workers running at
once, and even then, it made a bit of a mess of it (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7845#issuecomment-658238739).
Generally I feel like this code is doing more harm than good.
The replication client requires that arguments are given as keyword
arguments, which was not done in this case. We also pull out the logic
so that we can catch and handle any exceptions raised, rather than
leaving them unhandled.
When fetching the state of a room over federation we receive the event
IDs of the state and auth chain. We then fetch those events that we
don't already have.
However, we used a function that recursively fetched any missing auth
events for the fetched events, which can lead to a lot of recursion if
the server is missing most of the auth chain. This work is entirely
pointless because would have queued up the missing events in the auth
chain to be fetched already.
Let's just diable the recursion, since it only gets called from one
place anyway.
Fixes#2181.
The basic premise is that, when we
fail to reject an invite via the remote server, we can generate our own
out-of-band leave event and persist it as an outlier, so that we have something
to send to the client.
This table is no longer used, so we may as well stop populating it. Removing it
would prevent people rolling back to older releases of Synapse, so that can
happen in a future release.
* Fix spec compliance; tweaks without values are valid
(default to True, which is only concretely specified for
`highlight`, but it seems only reasonable to generalise)
* Changelog for 7766.

May as well tidy up when I'm here.

The package was pinned to <0.8.0 without an obvious reasoning with
7ad1d7635
in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5636
while the version selection looks to just try to exclude an arbitrary
next minor version number that might introduce API breaking changes.
Selecting the next minor number might be a good conservative selection.
Downstream distributions already reported success patching out the version
requirements.
This also fixes the integration of upgraded packages into openSUSE packages,

State res v2 across large data sets can be very CPU intensive, and if
all the relevant events are in the cache the algorithm will run from
start to finish within a single reactor tick. This can result in
blocking the reactor tick for several seconds, which can have major
repercussions on other requests.
To fix this we simply add the occaisonal `sleep(0)` during iterations to
yield execution until the next reactor tick. The aim is to only do this
for large data sets so that we don't impact otherwise quick resolutions.=
HTTP requires the response to contain a Content-Length header unless chunked encoding is being used.
Prometheus metrics endpoint did not set this, causing software such as prometheus-proxy to not be able to scrape synapse for metrics.

* Always return an unread_count in get_unread_event_push_actions_by_room_for_user

This requires a new config option to specify which media repo should be
responsible for running background jobs to e.g. clear out expired URL
preview caches.
The aim here is to make it easier to reason about when streams are limited and when they're not, by moving the logic into the database functions themselves. This should mean we can kill of `db_query_to_update_function` function.
This ended up being a bit more invasive than I'd hoped for (not helped by
generic_worker duplicating some of the code from homeserver), but hopefully
it's an improvement.
The idea is that, rather than storing unstructured `dict`s in the config for
the listener configurations, we instead parse it into a structured
`ListenerConfig` object.

Broke in: #7649
We had a `yield` acting on a coroutine. To be fair this one is a bit difficult to notice as there's a function in the middle that just passes the coroutine along.
The spec [states](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#phone-number) that `m.id.phone` requires the field `country` and `phone`.
In Synapse, we've been enforcing `country` and `number`.
I am not currently sure whether this affects any client implementations.
This issue was introduced in #1994.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2431
Adds config option `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type`, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.
Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of `m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2` into a constant variable to eliminate typos ala https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7637
Based on #7637
* Ensure account data stream IDs are unique.
The account data stream is shared between three tables, and the maximum
allocated ID was tracked in a dedicated table. Updating the max ID
happened outside the transaction that allocated the ID, leading to a
race where if the server was restarted then the same ID could be
allocated but the max ID failed to be updated, leading it to be reused.
The ID generators have support for tracking across multiple tables, so
we may as well use that instead of a dedicated table.
* Fix bug in account data replication stream.
If the same stream ID was used in both global and room account data then
the getting updates for the replication stream would fail due to
`heapq.merge(..)` trying to compare a `str` with a `None`. (This is
because you'd have two rows like `(534, '!room')` and `(534, None)` from
the room and global account data tables).
Fix is just to order by stream ID, since we don't rely on the ordering
beyond that. The bug where stream IDs can be reused should be fixed now,
so this case shouldn't happen going forward.
Fixes#7617
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string
* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource
* use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
(giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)
* do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.
It looks like `user_device_resync` was ignoring cross-signing keys from the results received from the remote server. This patch fixes this, by processing these keys using the same process `_handle_signing_key_updates` does (and effectively factor that part out of that function).
The query keeps showing up in my slow query log.

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)

Bugfixes:
- 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 linting errors in new version of Flake8. ([\#7470](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7470))
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.
* Don't show the login forms if we're currently logging in with a

* Submit directly the SSO login form, showing only a spinner to the

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.
