it looks like everything that uses ResponseCache expects to have to
`make_deferred_yieldable` its results. It's debatable whether that is the best
approach, but let's document it for now to avoid further confusion.
The state cache bases its size on the sum of the size of entries. The
size of the entry is calculated once on insertion, so it is important
that the size of entries does not change.
The DictionaryCache modified the entries size, which caused the state
cache to incorrectly think it was smaller than it actually was.
It annoys me that we create temporary function objects when there's really no
need for it. Let's factor the gubbins out of preserve_fn and start using it.
Add federation_domain_whitelist
gives a way to restrict which domains your HS is allowed to federate with.
useful mainly for gracefully preventing a private but internet-connected HS from trying to federate to the wider public Matrix network
* [ ] split config options into allowed_local_3pids and registrations_require_3pid
* [ ] simplify and comment logic for picking registration flows
* [ ] fix docstring and move check_3pid_allowed into a new util module
* [ ] use check_3pid_allowed everywhere

Twisted core doesn't have a general purpose one, so we need to write one
ourselves.
Features:
- All writing happens in background thread
- Supports both push and pull producers
- Push producers get paused if the consumer falls behind
For each request, track the amount of time spent waiting for a db
connection. This entails adding it to the LoggingContext and we may as well add
metrics for it while we are passing.
It turns out that the only thing we use the __dict__ of LoggingContext for is
`request`, and given we create lots of LoggingContexts and then copy them every
time we do a db transaction or log line, using the __dict__ seems a bit
redundant. Let's try to optimise things by making the request attribute
explicit.
In order to circumvent the number of duplicate foo:count metrics increasing
without bounds, it's time for a rearrangement.

Add some logging to the Limiter in a similar spirit to the Linearizer, to help
debug issues.
Also fix a logcontext leak.
Also refactor slightly to avoid throwing exceptions.
This is a bit of an experimental change at this point; the idea is to see if it
helps us track down where our stack overflows are coming from by logging the
stack when the exception was caught and turned into a Failure. (We'll also need
edf2704420).
If we deploy this, we'll be able to enable it via the log config yaml.
Occaisonally has_any_entity_changed would throw the error: "Set changed
size during iteration" when taking the max of the `sorteddict`. While
its uncertain how that happens, its quite inefficient to iterate over
the entire dict anyway so we change to using the more traditional
`bisect_*` functions.
We update the normal cache descriptors to handle caches with a single
argument specially so that the key wasn't a 1-tuple. We need to update
the cache list to be aware of this.
Most of the time was spent copying a dict to filter out sentinel values
that indicated that keys did not exist in the dict. The sentinel values
were added to ensure that we cached the non-existence of keys.
By updating DictionaryCache to keep track of which keys were known to
not exist itself we can remove a dictionary copy.
The _get_joined_users_from_context cache stores a mapping from user_id
to avatar_url and display_name. Instead of storing those in a dict,
store them in a namedtuple as that uses much less memory.
We also try converting the string to ascii to further reduce the size.
Currently the cache descriptors store deferreds rather than raw values,
this is a simple way of triggering only one database hit and sharing the
result if two callers attempt to get the same value.
However, there are a few caches that simply store a mapping from string
to string (or int). These caches can have a large number of entries,
under the assumption that each entry is small. However, the size of a
deferred (specifically the size of ObservableDeferred) is signigicantly
larger than that of the raw value, 2kb vs 32b.
This PR therefore changes the cache descriptors to store the raw values
rather than the deferreds.
As a side effect cached storage function now either return a deferred or
the actual value, as the cached list decriptor already does. This is
fine as we always end up just yield'ing on the returned value
eventually, which handles that case correctly.
The cache wrappers had a habit of leaking the logcontext into the reactor while
the lookup function was running, and then not restoring it correctly when the
lookup function had completed. It's all the fault of
`preserve_context_over_{fn,deferred}` which are basically a bit broken.
Due to a failure to instantiate DeferredTimedOutError, time_bound_deferred
would throw a CancelledError when the deferred timed out, which was rather
confusing.
The `@cached` decorator on `KeyStore._get_server_verify_key` was missing
its `num_args` parameter, which meant that it was returning the wrong key for
any server which had more than one recorded key.
By way of a fix, change the default for `num_args` to be *all* arguments. To
implement that, factor out a common base class for `CacheDescriptor` and `CacheListDescriptor`.
Fix a bug in ``logcontext.preserve_fn`` which made it leak context into the
reactor, and add a test for it.
Also, get rid of ``logcontext.reset_context_after_deferred``, which tried to do
the same thing but had its own, different, set of bugs.
... and update some docstrings to correctly reflect the types being used.
get_new_device_msgs_for_remote can return a long under some circumstances,
which was being stored in last_device_list_stream_id_by_dest, and was then
upsetting things on the next loop.
Instead of calculating the size of the cache repeatedly, which can take
a long time now that it can use a callback, instead cache the size and
update that on insertion and deletion.
This requires changing the cache descriptors to have two caches, one for
pending deferreds and the other for the actual values. There's no reason
to evict from the pending deferreds as they won't take up any more
memory.
