The following scenarios would halt the user directory updater:
- user joins room
- user leaves room
- user present in room which switches from private to public, or vice versa.
for two classes of users:
- appservice senders
- users missing from the user table.
If this happened, the user directory would be stuck, unable to make forward progress.
Exclude both cases from the user directory, so that we ignore them.

The race allowed the current position to advance too far when stream IDs
are still being persisted.
This happened when it received a new stream ID from a remote write
between a new stream ID being allocated and it being added to the set of
unpersisted stream IDs.
Fixes#9424.
Make `get_last_client_by_ip` return the same dictionary structure
regardless of whether the data has been persisted to the database.
This change will allow slightly cleaner type hints to be applied later
on.
This commit fixes two bugs to do with decorators not instrumenting
`ReplicationEndpoint`'s `send_request` correctly. There are two
decorators on `send_request`: Prometheus' `Gauge.track_inprogress()`
and Synapse's `opentracing.trace`.
`Gauge.track_inprogress()` does not have any support for async
functions when used as a decorator. Since async functions behave like
regular functions that return coroutines, only the creation of the
coroutine was covered by the metric and none of the actual body of
`send_request`.
`Gauge.track_inprogress()` returns a regular, non-async function
wrapping `send_request`, which is the source of the next bug.
The `opentracing.trace` decorator would normally handle async functions
correctly, but since the wrapped `send_request` is a non-async function,
the decorator ends up suffering from the same issue as
`Gauge.track_inprogress()`: the opentracing span only measures the
creation of the coroutine and none of the actual function body.
Using `Gauge.track_inprogress()` as a context manager instead of a
decorator resolves both bugs.
Updating mypy past version 0.9 means that third-party stubs are no-longer distributed with typeshed. See http://mypy-lang.blogspot.com/2021/06/mypy-0900-released.html for details.
We therefore pull in stub packages in setup.py
Additionally, some modules that we were previously ignoring import failures for now have stubs. So let's use them.
The rest of this change consists of fixups to make the newer mypy + stubs pass CI.

This splits apart `handle_new_user` into a function which adds an entry to the `user_directory` and a function which updates the room sharing tables. I plan to continue doing more of this kind of refactoring to clarify the implementation.
The shared ratelimit function was replaced with a dedicated
RequestRatelimiter class (accessible from the HomeServer
object).
Other properties were copied to each sub-class that inherited
from BaseHandler.
Use `PreserveLoggingContext()` to ensure that logging contexts are not
lost when exiting a read/write lock.
When exiting a read/write lock, callbacks on a `Deferred` are triggered
as a signal to any waiting coroutines. Any waiting coroutine that
becomes runnable is likely to follow the Synapse logging context rules
and will restore its own logging context, then either run to completion
or await another `Deferred`, resetting the logging context in the
process.
This removes the magic allowing accessing configurable
variables directly from the config object. It is now required
that a specific configuration class is used (e.g. `config.foo`
must be replaced with `config.server.foo`).
Fix a long-standing bug where a batch of user directory changes would be
silently dropped if the server left a room early in the batch.

There are two steps to rebuilding the user directory:
1. a scan over rooms, followed by
2. a scan over local users.
The former reads avatars and display names from the `room_memberships`
table and therefore contains potentially private avatars and
display names. The latter reads from the the `profiles` table which only
contains public data; moreover it will overwrite any private profiles
that the rooms scan may have written to the user directory. This means
that the rebuild could leak private user while the rebuild was in
progress, only to later cover up the leaks once the rebuild had completed.
This change skips over local users when writing user_directory rows
when scanning rooms. Doing so means that it'll take longer for a rebuild
to make local users searchable, which is unfortunate. I think a future
PR can improve this by swapping the order of the two steps above. (And
indeed there's more to do here, e.g. copying from `profiles` without
going via Python.)
Small tidy-ups while I'm here:
* Remove duplicated code from test_initial. This was meant to be pulled into `purge_and_rebuild_user_dir`.
* Move `is_public` before updating sharing tables. No functional change; it's still before the first read of `is_public`.
* Don't bother creating a set from dict keys. Slightly nicer and makes the code simpler.

We correctly allowed using the MSC2716 batch endpoint for
the room creator in existing room versions but accidentally didn't track
the events because of a logic flaw.
This prevented you from connecting subsequent chunks together because it would
throw the unknown batch ID error.
We only want to process MSC2716 events when:
- The room version supports MSC2716
- Any room where the homeserver has the `msc2716_enabled` experimental feature enabled and the event is from the room creator
`_check_event_auth` is only called in two places, and only one of those sets
`send_on_behalf_of`. Warming the cache isn't really part of auth anyway, so
moving it out makes a lot more sense.
There's little point in doing a fancy state reconciliation dance if the event
itself is invalid.
Likewise, there's no point checking it again in `_check_for_soft_fail`.

* Introduce `should_include_local_users_in_dir`
We exclude three kinds of local users from the user_directory tables. At
present we don't consistently exclude all three in the same places. This
commit introduces a new function to gather those exclusion conditions
together. Because we have to handle local and remote users in different
ways, I've made that function only consider the case of remote users.
It's the caller's responsibility to make the local versus remote
distinction clear and correct.
A test fixup is required. The test now hits a path which makes db
queries against the users table. The expected rows were missing, because
we were using a dummy user that hadn't actually been registered.
We also add new test cases to covert the exclusion logic.
----
By my reading this makes these changes:
* When an app service user registers or changes their profile, they will
_not_ be added to the user directory. (Previously only support and
deactivated users were excluded). This is consistent with the logic that
rebuilds the user directory. See also [the discussion
here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10914#discussion_r716859548).
* When rebuilding the directory, exclude support and disabled users from
room sharing tables. Previously only appservice users were excluded.
* Exclude all three categories of local users when rebuilding the
directory. Previously `_populate_user_directory_process_users` didn't do
any exclusion.

This follows a correction made in twisted/twisted#1664 and should fix our Twisted Trial CI job.
Until that change is in a twisted release, we'll have to ignore the type
of the `host` argument. I've raised #10899 to remind us to review the
issue in a few months' time.
Fix event context for outlier causing failures in all of the MSC2716

The `EventContext.for_outlier` refactor happened in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10883
and this spot was left out.
* Pull out GetUserDirectoryTables helper
* Don't rebuild the dir in tests that don't need it

Broadly, the existing `event_auth.check` function has two parts:
* a validation section: checks that the event isn't too big, that it has the rught signatures, etc.
This bit is independent of the rest of the state in the room, and so need only be done once
for each event.
* an auth section: ensures that the event is allowed, given the rest of the state in the room.
This gets done multiple times, against various sets of room state, because it forms part of
the state res algorithm.
Currently, this is implemented with `do_sig_check` and `do_size_check` parameters, but I think
that makes everything hard to follow. Instead, we split the function in two and call each part
separately where it is needed.
Before Synapse 1.31 (#9411), we relied on `outlier` being stored in the
`internal_metadata` column. We can now assume nobody will roll back their
deployment that far and drop the legacy support.
* Inline `_check_event_auth` for outliers
When we are persisting an outlier, most of `_check_event_auth` is redundant:
* `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` does nothing, because the
`input_auth_events` are (now) exactly the event's auth_events,
which means that `missing_auth` is empty.
* we don't care about soft-fail, kicking guest users or `send_on_behalf_of`
for outliers
... so the only thing that matters is the auth itself, so let's just do that.
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`: de-async `prep`
`prep` no longer calls any `async` methods, so let's make it synchronous.
* Simplify `_check_event_auth`
We no longer need to support outliers here, which makes things rather simpler.
* changelog
* lint
Currently we use `JsonEncoder.iterencode` to write JSON responses, which ensures that we don't block the main reactor thread when encoding huge objects. The downside to this is that `iterencode` falls back to using a pure Python encoder that is *much* less efficient and can easily burn a lot of CPU for huge responses. To fix this, while still ensuring we don't block the reactor loop, we encode the JSON on a threadpool using the standard `JsonEncoder.encode` functions, which is backed by a C library.
Doing so, however, requires `respond_with_json` to have access to the reactor, which it previously didn't. There are two ways of doing this:
1. threading through the reactor object, which is a bit fiddly as e.g. `DirectServeJsonResource` doesn't currently take a reactor, but is exposed to modules and so is a PITA to change; or
2. expose the reactor in `SynapseRequest`, which requires updating a bunch of servlet types.
I went with the latter as that is just a mechanical change, and I think makes sense as a request already has a reactor associated with it (via its http channel).
This is in the context of creating new module callbacks that modules in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic can use, in an effort to reconcile the spam checker API in synapse-dinsic with the one in mainline.
This adds a callback that's fairly similar to user_may_create_room except it also allows processing based on the invites sent at room creation.
* Factor more stuff out of `_get_events_and_persist`
It turns out that the event-sorting algorithm in `_get_events_and_persist` is
also useful in other circumstances. Here we move the current
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`,
and then factor the sorting part out to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove redundant `outlier` assignment
`get_event_auth` returns events with the outlier flag already set, so this is
redundant (though we need to update a test where `get_event_auth` is mocked).
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: move existing-event tests earlier
Move a couple of tests outside the loop. This is a bit inefficient for now, but
a future commit will make it better. It should be functionally identical.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`
We can use the same codepath for persisting the events fetched as part of an
auth chain as for those fetched individually by `_get_events_and_persist` for
building the state at a backwards extremity.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use a dict for efficiency
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` sorts the events itself, so we no longer
need to care about maintaining the ordering from `get_event_auth` (and no
longer need to sort by depth in `get_event_auth`).
That means that we can use a map, making it easier to filter out events we
already have, etc.
* changelog
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`: improve docstring
Combine the two loops over the list of events, and hence get rid of
`_NewEventInfo`. Also pass the event back alongside the context, so that it's
easier to process the result.
If the MAU count had been reached, Synapse incorrectly blocked appservice users even though they've been explicitly configured not to be tracked (the default). This was due to bypassing the relevant if as it was chained behind another earlier hit if as an elif.

The handlers directory has already been mypyed.

* Reload auth events from db after fetching and persisting
In `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth`, when we fetch the remote auth
tree and persist the returned events: load the missing events from the database
rather than using the copies we got from the remote server.
This is mostly in preparation for additional refactors, but does have an
advantage in that if we later get around to checking the rejected status, we'll
be able to make use of it.

This avoids the overhead of searching through the various
configuration classes by directly referencing the class that
the attributes are in.
It also improves type hints since mypy can now resolve the
types of the configuration variables.
Constructing an EventContext for an outlier is actually really simple, and
there's no sense in going via an `async` method in the `StateHandler`.
This also means that we can resolve a bunch of FIXMEs.

The invalidation was missing in `_claim_e2e_one_time_key_returning`,

* Improved titles (fall back to the author name if there's not title) and include the site name.
* Handle photo/video payloads.
* Include the original URL in the Open Graph response.
* Fix the expiration time (by properly converting from seconds to milliseconds).
The deprecated /initialSync endpoint maintains a cache of responses,
using parameter values as part of the cache key. When a `from` or `to`
parameter is specified, it gets converted into a `StreamToken`, which
contains a `RoomStreamToken` and forms part of the cache key.
`RoomStreamToken`s need to be made hashable for this to work.
I meant to do this before, in #10591, but because I'm stupid I forgot to do it
for V2 and V3 events.
I've factored the common code out to `EventBase` to save us having two copies
of it.
This means that for `FrozenEvent` we replace `self.get("event_id", None)` with
`self.event_id`, which I think is safe. `get()` is an alias for
`self._dict.get()`, whereas `event_id()` is an `@property` method which looks
up `self._event_id`, which is populated during construction from the same
dict. We don't seem to rely on the fallback, because if the `event_id` key is
absent from the dict then construction of the `EventBase` object will
fail.
Long story short, the only way this could change behaviour is if
`event_dict["event_id"]` is changed *after* the `EventBase` object is
constructed without updating the `_event_id` field, or vice versa - either of
which would be very problematic anyway and the behavior of `str(event)` is the
least of our worries.
The major change is moving the decision of whether to use oEmbed
further up the call-stack. This reverts the _download_url method to
being a "dumb" functionwhich takes a single URL and downloads it
(as it was before #7920).
This also makes more minor refactorings:
* Renames internal variables for clarity.
* Factors out shared code between the HTML and rich oEmbed

It's a simplification, but one that'll help make the user directory logic easier
to follow with the other changes upcoming. It's not strictly required for those
changes, but this will help simplify the resulting logic that listens for
`m.room.member` events and generally make the logic easier to follow.
This means the config option `search_all_users` ends up controlling the
search query only, and not the data we store. The cost of doing so is an
extra row in the `user_directory` and `user_directory_search` tables for
each local user which
- belongs to no public rooms
- belongs to no private rooms of size ≥ 2
I think the cost of this will be marginal (since they'll already have entries
in `users` and `profiles` anyway).
As a small upside, a homeserver whose directory was built with this
change can toggle `search_all_users` without having to rebuild their
directory.

Adds missing type hints to methods in the synapse.handlers
module and requires all methods to have type hints there.
This also removes the unused construct_auth_difference method
from the FederationHandler.
We added a bunch of spans in #10704, but this ended up adding a lot of
redundant spans for rooms where nothing changed, so instead we only
start the span if there might be something interesting going on.
In `MatrixFederationHttpClient._send_request()`, we make a HTTP request
using an `Agent`, wrap that request in a timeout and await the resulting
`Deferred`. On its own, the `Agent` performing the HTTP request
correctly stashes and restores the logging context while waiting.
The addition of the timeout introduces a path where the logging context
is not restored when execution resumes.
To address this, we wrap the timeout `Deferred` in a
`make_deferred_yieldable()` to stash the logging context and restore it
on completion of the `await`. However this is not sufficient, since by
the time we construct the timeout `Deferred`, the `Agent` has already
stashed and cleared the logging context when using
`make_deferred_yieldable()` to produce its `Deferred` for the request.
Hence, we wrap the `Agent` request in a `run_in_background()` to "fork"
and preserve the logging context so that we can stash and restore it
when `await`ing the timeout `Deferred`.
This approach is similar to the one used with `defer.gatherResults`.
Note that the code is still not fully correct. When a timeout occurs,
the request remains running in the background (existing behavior which
is nothing to do with the new call to `run_in_background`) and may
re-start the logging context after it has finished.
I had one of these error messages yesterday and assumed it was an
invalid auth token (because that was an HTTP query parameter in the
test) I was working on. In fact, it was an invalid next batch token for
syncing.
We've already batched up the events previously, and assume in other
places in the events.py file that we have. Removing this makes it easier
to adjust the batch sizes in one place.
Hint to clients via the room capabilities API (MSC3244) that
room version 9 should be preferred for creating a room with
restricted join rules (instead of room version 8).
This adds the format to the request arguments / URL to
ensure that JSON data is returned (which is all that
Synapse supports).
This also adds additional error checking / filtering to the
configuration file to ignore XML-only providers.
I think I have finally teased apart the codepaths which handle outliers, and those that handle non-outliers.
Let's add some assertions to demonstrate my newfound knowledge.
If we're persisting an event E which has auth_events A1, A2, then we ought to make sure that we correctly auth
and persist A1 and A2, before we blindly accept E.
This PR does part of that - it persists the auth events first - but it does not fully solve the problem, because we
still don't check that the auth events weren't rejected.
