Builds on the work done in #9643 to add a federation API for space summaries.
There's a bit of refactoring of the existing client-server code first, to avoid too much duplication.
Currently federation catchup will send the last *local* event that we
failed to send to the remote. This can cause issues for large rooms
where lots of servers have sent events while the remote server was down,
as when it comes back up again it'll be flooded with events from various
points in the DAG.
Instead, let's make it so that all the servers send the most recent
events, even if its not theirs. The remote should deduplicate the
events, so there shouldn't be much overhead in doing this.
Alternatively, the servers could only send local events if they were
also extremities and hope that the other server will send the event
over, but that is a bit risky.
This bug was discovered by DINUM. We were modifying `serialized_event["content"]`, which - if you've got `USE_FROZEN_DICTS` turned on or are [using a third party rules module](17cd48fe51/synapse/events/third_party_rules.py (L73-L76)) - will raise a 500 if you try to a edit a reply to a message.
`serialized_event["content"]` could be set to the edit event's content, instead of a copy of it, which is bad as we attempt to modify it. Instead, we also end up modifying the original event's content. DINUM uses a third party rules module, which meant the event's content got frozen and thus an exception was raised.
To be clear, the problem is not that the event's content was frozen. In fact doing so helped us uncover the fact we weren't copying event content correctly.
We had two functions named `get_forward_extremities_for_room` and
`get_forward_extremeties_for_room` that took different paramters. We
rename one of them to avoid confusion.
* Populate `internal_metadata.outlier` based on `events` table
Rather than relying on `outlier` being in the `internal_metadata` column,
populate it based on the `events.outlier` column.
* Move `outlier` out of InternalMetadata._dict
Ultimately, this will allow us to stop writing it to the database. For now, we
have to grandfather it back in so as to maintain compatibility with older
versions of Synapse.
Instead of if the user does not have a password hash. This allows a SSO
user to add a password to their account, but only if the local password
database is configured.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9572
When a SSO user logs in for the first time, we create a local Matrix user for them. This goes through the register_user flow, which ends up triggering the spam checker. Spam checker modules don't currently have any way to differentiate between a user trying to sign up initially, versus an SSO user (whom has presumably already been approved elsewhere) trying to log in for the first time.
This PR passes `auth_provider_id` as an argument to the `check_registration_for_spam` function. This argument will contain an ID of an SSO provider (`"saml"`, `"cas"`, etc.) if one was used, else `None`.
Federation catch up mode is very inefficient if the number of events
that the remote server has missed is small, since handling gaps can be
very expensive, c.f. #9492.
Instead of going into catch up mode whenever we see an error, we instead
do so only if we've backed off from trying the remote for more than an
hour (the assumption being that in such a case it is more than a
transient failure).
