If we're missing most of the events in the room state, then we may as well call the /state endpoint, instead of individually requesting each and every event.
When we get a partial_state response from send_join, store information in the
database about it:
* store a record about the room as a whole having partial state, and stash the
list of member servers too.
* flag the join event itself as having partial state
* also, for any new events whose prev-events are partial-stated, note that
they will *also* be partial-stated.
We don't yet make any attempt to interpret this data, so API calls (and a bunch
of other things) are just going to get incorrect data.
msc3706 proposes changing the `/send_join` response:
> Any events returned within `state` can be omitted from `auth_chain`.
Currently, we rely on `m.room.create` being returned in `auth_chain`, but since
the `m.room.create` event must necessarily be part of the state, the above
change will break this.
In short, let's look for `m.room.create` in `state` rather than `auth_chain`.
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
* `_auth_and_persist_outliers`: mark persisted events as outliers
Mark any events that get persisted via `_auth_and_persist_outliers` as, well,
outliers.
Currently this will be a no-op as everything will already be flagged as an
outlier, but I'm going to change that.
* `process_remote_join`: stop flagging as outlier
The events are now flagged as outliers later on, by `_auth_and_persist_outliers`.
* `send_join`: remove `outlier=True`
The events created here are returned in the result of `send_join` to
`FederationHandler.do_invite_join`. From there they are passed into
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`, which passes them to
`_auth_and_persist_outliers`... which sets the `outlier` flag.
* `get_event_auth`: remove `outlier=True`
stop flagging the events returned by `get_event_auth` as outliers. This method
is only called by `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`, which passes the results
into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will flag them as outliers.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove `outlier=True`
we pass all the events into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will now flag
the events as outliers.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
This param is now never set to True, so we can remove it.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one`: remove unused `outlier` param
This is no longer set anywhere, so we can remove it.
* `get_pdu`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
... and chase it down into `get_pdu_from_destination_raw`.
* `event_from_pdu_json`: remove redundant `outlier` param
This is never set to `True`, so can be removed.
* changelog
* update docstring
Events returned by `backfill` should not be flagged as outliers.

This is the final piece of the jigsaw for #9595. As with other changes before this one (eg #10771), we need to make sure that we auth the auth events in the right order, and actually check that their predecessors haven't been rejected.
To do this I've reused the existing code we use when persisting outliers elsewhere.
I've removed the code for attempting to fetch missing auth_events - the events should have been present in the send_join response, so the likely reason they are missing is that we couldn't verify them, so requesting them again is unlikely to help. Instead, we simply drop any state which relies on those auth events, as we do at a backwards-extremity. See also matrix-org/complement#216 for a test for this.
Currently, when we receive an event whose auth_events differ from those we expect, we state-resolve between the two state sets, and check that the event passes auth based on the resolved state.
This means that it's possible for us to accept events which don't pass auth at their declared auth_events (or where the auth events themselves were rejected), leading to problems down the line like #10083.
This change means we will:
* ignore any events where we cannot find the auth events
* reject any events whose auth events were rejected
* reject any events which do not pass auth at their declared auth_events.
Together with a whole raft of previous work, this is a partial fix to #9595.
Fixes#6643.
Based on #11009.
This fixes a bug where we would accept an event whose `auth_events` include
rejected events, if the rejected event was shadowed by another `auth_event`
with same `(type, state_key)`.
The approach is to pass a list of auth events into
`check_auth_rules_for_event` instead of a dict, which of course means updating
the call sites.
This is an extension of #10956.
Found while working on the Gitter backfill script and noticed
it only happened after we sent 7 batches, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/merge_requests/2229#note_665906390
When there are more than 5 backward extremities for a given depth,
backfill will throw an error because we sliced the extremity list
to 5 but then try to iterate over the full list. This causes
us to look for state that we never fetched and we get a `KeyError`.
Before when calling `/messages` when there are more than 5 backward extremities:

```
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`.
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.
* 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
* 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.
* 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.
* Factor out `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event` from `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth`
* changelog
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.
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.
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.
This is part of my ongoing war against BaseHandler. I've moved kick_guest_users into RoomMemberHandler (since it calls out to that handler anyway), and split maybe_kick_guest_users into the two places it is called.

* Stop people from trying to redact MSC2716 events in unsupported room versions
* Populate rooms.creator column for easy lookup
> From some [out of band discussion](https://matrix.to/#/!UytJQHLQYfvYWsGrGY:jki.re/$p2fKESoFst038x6pOOmsY0C49S2gLKMr0jhNMz_JJz0?via=jki.re&via=matrix.org), my plan is to use `rooms.creator`. But currently, we don't fill in `creator` for remote rooms when a user is invited to a room for example. So we need to add some code to fill in `creator` wherever we add to the `rooms` table. And also add a background update to fill in the rows missing `creator` (we can use the same logic that `get_create_event_for_room_txn` is doing by looking in the state events to get the `creator`).

We use `txn.fetchall` because it will return the results as a
list or an empty list when there are no results.
Docs:
> `cursor` objects are iterable, so, instead of calling explicitly fetchone() in a loop, the object itself can be used:
>
> https://www.psycopg.org/docs/cursor.html#cursor-iterable
And I'm guessing iterating over a raw cursor does something weird when there are no results.
