* 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.
There's no point doing a raise_from here, because the exception is always
logged at warn with no stacktrace in the caller. Instead, let's try to give
better messages to reduce confusion.
In particular, this means that we won't log 'Failed to connect to remote
server' when we don't even attempt to connect to the remote server due to
blacklisting.
It's not really a problem to trust notary responses signed by the old key so
long as we are also doing TLS validation.
This commit adds a check to the config parsing code at startup to check that
we do not have the insecure matrix.org key without tls validation, and refuses
to start without it.
This allows us to remove the rather alarming-looking warning which happens at
runtime.
There are a few changes going on here:
* We make checking the signature on a key server response optional: if no
verify_keys are specified, we trust to TLS to validate the connection.
* We change the default config so that it does not require responses to be
signed by the old key.
* We replace the old 'perspectives' config with 'trusted_key_servers', which
is also formatted slightly differently.
* We emit a warning to the logs every time we trust a key server response
signed by the old key.
Also:
* rename VerifyKeyRequest->VerifyJsonRequest
* calculate key_ids on VerifyJsonRequest construction
* refactor things to pass around VerifyJsonRequests instead of 4-tuples
It takes at least 20 minutes to work through the long_retries schedule (11
attempts, each with a 60 second timeout, and 60 seconds between each request),
so if the notary server isn't returning within the timeout, we'll just end up
blocking whatever request is happening for 20 minutes.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
When handling incoming federation requests, make sure that we have an
up-to-date copy of the signing key.
We do not yet enforce the validity period for event signatures.
The verify_request deferred already returns a suitable SynapseError, so I don't
really know what we expect to achieve by doing more wrapping, other than log
spam.
Fixes#4278.
The list of server names was redundant, since it was equivalent to the keys on
the server_to_deferred map. This reduces the number of large lists being passed
around, and has the benefit of deduplicating the entries in `wait_on`.
Rather than have three methods which have to have the same interface,
factor out a separate interface which is provided by three implementations.
I find it easier to grok the code this way.
This is a first step to checking that the key is valid at the required moment.
The idea here is that, rather than passing VerifyKey objects in and out of the
storage layer, we instead pass FetchKeyResult objects, which simply wrap the
VerifyKey and add a valid_until_ts field.
* Pass time_added_ms into process_v2_response
* Simplify process_v2_response
We can merge old_verify_keys into verify_keys, and reduce the number of dicts
flying around.
Storing server keys hammered the database a bit. This replaces the
implementation which stored a single key, with one which can do many updates at
once.
There's no point in collecting a merged dict of keys: it is sufficient to
consider just the new keys which have been fetched by the most recent
key_fetch_fns.
Make this just return the key dict, rather than a single-entry dict mapping the
server name to the key dict. It's easy for the caller to get the server name
from from the response object anyway.
