`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.
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 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.
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.
The CI appears to use the latest version of isort, which is a problem when isort gets a major version bump. Rather than try to pin the version, I've done the necessary to make isort5 happy with synapse.
* Always return an unread_count in get_unread_event_push_actions_by_room_for_user
* Don't always expect unread_count to be there so we don't take out sync entirely if something goes wrong
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.
* 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.

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.
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.
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
`_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)
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.

Rework UI Auth session validation for registration (#7455)
Fix errors from malformed log line (#7454)
Drop support for redis.dbid (#7450)
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.
* 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.

Synapse 1.10.0rc2 (2020-02-06)
==============================
Bugfixes
--------
- Fix an issue with cross-signing where device signatures were not sent to remote servers. ([\#6844](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6844))
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
* 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.

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

- Fix a bug which could cause the background database update hander for event labels to get stuck in a loop raising exceptions. ([\#6407](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/6407))
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.
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.
