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.
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.

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
Complement tests.
The `EventContext.for_outlier` refactor happened in
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10883
and this spot was left out.
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
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.
* 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

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.
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.
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.
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.
The full event content cannot be trusted from this API (as no auth
chain, etc.) is processed over federation. Returning the full event
content was a bug as MSC2946 specifies that only the stripped
state should be returned.
This also avoids calculating aggregations / annotations which go
unused.
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.
* Allow room creator to send MSC2716 related events in existing room versions

44bb3f0cf5
* Add changelog
* 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.

Co-authored-by: Erik Johnston <erik@matrix.org>
Turns out that the functionality added in #10546 to skip TLS was incompatible
with older Twisted versions, so we need to be a bit more inventive.
Also, add a test to (hopefully) not break this in future. Sadly, testing TLS is
really hard.
Given that backfill and get_missing_events are basically the same thing, it's somewhat crazy that we have entirely separate code paths for them. This makes backfill use the existing get_missing_events code, and then clears up all the unused code.
When a user deletes an email from their account it will
now also remove all pushers for that email and that user
(even if these pushers were created by a different client)
Here we split on_receive_pdu into two functions (on_receive_pdu and process_pulled_event), rather than having both cases in the same method. There's a tiny bit of overlap, but not that much.
* drop room pdu linearizer sooner
No point holding onto it while we recheck the db
* move out `missing_prevs` calculation
we're going to need `missing_prevs` whatever we do, so we may as well calculate
it eagerly and just update it if it gets outdated.
* Add another `if missing_prevs` condition
this should be a no-op, since all the code inside the block already checks `if
missing_prevs`
* reorder if conditions
This shouldn't change the logic at all.
* Push down `min_depth` read
No point reading it from the database unless we're going to use it.
* Collect the sent_to_us_directly code together
Move the remaining `sent_to_us_directly` code inside the `if
sent_to_us_directly` block.
* Properly separate the `not sent_to_us_directly` branch
Since the only way this second block is now reachable is if we
*didn't* go into the `sent_to_us_directly` branch, we can replace it with a
simple `else`.
* changelog
Marking things as outliers to inhibit pushes is a sledgehammer to crack a
nut. Move the test further down the stack so that we just inhibit the thing we
want.
* Include outlier status in `str(event)`
In places where we log event objects, knowing whether or not you're dealing
with an outlier is super useful.
* Remove duplicated logging in get_missing_events
When we process events received from get_missing_events, we log them twice
(once in `_get_missing_events_for_pdu`, and once in `on_receive_pdu`). Reduce
the duplication by removing the logging in `on_receive_pdu`, and ensuring the
call sites do sensible logging.
* log in `on_receive_pdu` when we already have the event
* Log which prev_events we are missing
* changelog
As opposed to only allowing the summary of spaces which the user is
already in or has world-readable visibility.
This makes the logic consistent with whether a space/room is returned
as part of a space and whether a space summary can start at a space.
If a room which the requesting user was invited to was queried over
federation it will now properly appear in the spaces summary (instead
of being stripped out by the requesting server).
* drop old-room hack
pretty sure we don't need this any more.
* Remove incorrect comment about modifying `context`
It doesn't look like the supplied context is ever modified.
* Stop `_auth_and_persist_event` modifying its parameters
This is only called in three places. Two of them don't pass `auth_events`, and
the third doesn't use the dict after passing it in, so this should be non-functional.
* Stop `_check_event_auth` modifying its parameters
`_check_event_auth` is only called in three places. `on_send_membership_event`
doesn't pass an `auth_events`, and `prep` and `_auth_and_persist_event` do not
use the map after passing it in.
* Stop `_update_auth_events_and_context_for_auth` modifying its parameters
Return the updated auth event dict, rather than modifying the parameter.
This is only called from `_check_event_auth`.
* Improve documentation on `_auth_and_persist_event`
Rename `auth_events` parameter to better reflect what it contains.
* Improve documentation on `_NewEventInfo`

This adds 'allowed_room_ids' (in addition to 'allowed_spaces', for backwards
compatibility) to the federation response of the spaces summary.
A future PR will remove the 'allowed_spaces' flag.
If there are no services providing a protocol, omit it completely
instead of returning an empty dictionary.
This fixes a long-standing spec compliance bug.
The room type is per MSC3288 to allow the identity-server to
change invitation wording based on whether the invitation is to
a room or a space.
The prefixed key will be replaced once MSC3288 is accepted
into the spec.

and have them be sent by the application service with proper
PL levels in the room.

See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/10245#discussion_r675592489
We can't reject historical events on unsupported room versions because homeservers without knowledge of MSC2716 or the new room version don't reject historical events either.
Since we can't rely on the auth check here to stop historical events on unsupported room versions, I've added some additional checks in the processing/persisting code (`synapse/storage/databases/main/events.py` -> `_handle_insertion_event` and `_handle_chunk_event`). I've had to do some refactoring so there is method to fetch the room version by `txn`.

This adds an API for third-party plugin modules to implement account validity, so they can provide this feature instead of Synapse. The module implementing the current behaviour for this feature can be found at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-email-account-validity.
To allow for a smooth transition between the current feature and the new module, hooks have been added to the existing account validity endpoints to allow their behaviours to be overridden by a module.
Previously only world-readable rooms were shown. This means that
rooms which are public, knockable, or invite-only with a pending invitation,
are included in a space summary. It also applies the same logic to
the experimental room version from MSC3083 -- if a user has access
to the proper allowed rooms then it is shown in the spaces summary.
This change is made per MSC3173 allowing stripped state of a room to
be shown to any potential room joiner.
* Add base starting insertion point when no chunk ID is provided
This is so we can have the marker event point to this initial
insertion event and be able to traverse the events in the first chunk.
Because modules might send extra state events when processing an event (e.g. matrix-org/synapse-dinsic#100), and in some cases these extra events might get dropped if we don't recalculate the initial event's auth.
The idea here is to stop people sending things that aren't joins/leaves/knocks through these endpoints: previously you could send anything you liked through them. I wasn't able to find any security holes from doing so, but it doesn't sound like a good thing.
This implements refresh tokens, as defined by MSC2918
This MSC has been implemented client side in Hydrogen Web: vector-im/hydrogen-web#235
The basics of the MSC works: requesting refresh tokens on login, having the access tokens expire, and using the refresh token to get a new one.

If a room is remote and we don't have a user in it, always try to join it. It might fail if the room is invite-only, but we don't have a user to invite with, so at this point it's the best we can do.

An accidental mis-ordering of operations during #6739 technically allowed an incoming knock event over federation in before checking it against any configured Third Party Access Rules modules.
This PR corrects that by performing the TPAR check *before* persisting the event.
This could cause a minor data leak if someone defined a non-restricted join rule
with an allow key or used a restricted join rule in an older room version, but this is
unlikely.
Additionally this starts adding unit tests to the spaces summary handler.
This PR adds a common configuration section for all modules (see docs). These modules are then loaded at startup by the homeserver. Modules register their hooks and web resources using the new `register_[...]_callbacks` and `register_web_resource` methods of the module API.
Dangerous actions means deactivating an account, modifying an account
password, or adding a 3PID.
Other actions (deleting devices, uploading keys) can re-use the same UI
auth session if ui_auth.session_timeout is configured.
* Room version 7 for knocking.
* Stable prefixes and endpoints (both client and federation) for knocking.
* Removes the experimental configuration flag.
Spawned from missing messages we were seeing on `matrix.org` from a
federated Gtiter bridged room, https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/webapp/-/issues/2770.
The underlying issue in Synapse is tracked by https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10066
where the message and join event race and the message is `soft_failed` before the
`join` event reaches the remote federated server.
Less soft_failed events = better and usually this should only trigger for events
where people are doing bad things and trying to fuzz and fake everything.
Fixes#1834.
`get_new_events_for_appservice` internally calls `get_events_as_list`, which will filter out any rejected events. If all returned events are filtered out, `_notify_interested_services` will return without updating the last handled stream position. If there are 100 consecutive such events, processing will halt altogether.
Breaking the loop is now done by checking whether we're up-to-date with `current_max` in the loop condition, instead of relying on an empty `events` list.

If backfilling is slow then the client may time out and retry, causing
Synapse to start a new `/backfill` before the existing backfill has
finished, duplicating work.
Empirically, this helped my server considerably when handling gaps in Matrix HQ. The problem was that we would repeatedly call have_seen_events for the same set of (50K or so) auth_events, each of which would take many minutes to complete, even though it's only an index scan.
To be more consistent with similar code. The check now automatically
raises an AuthError instead of passing back a boolean. It also absorbs
some shared logic between callers.
This should help ensure that equivalent results are achieved between
homeservers querying for the summary of a space.
This implements modified MSC1772 rules, according to MSC2946.
The different is that the origin_server_ts of the m.room.create event
is not used as a tie-breaker since this might not be known if the
homeserver is not part of the room.
We were pulling the full auth chain for the room out of the DB each time
we backfilled, which can be *huge* for large rooms and is totally
unnecessary.
This is an update based on changes to MSC2946. The origin_server_ts
of the m.room.create event is copied into the creation_ts field for each
room returned from the spaces summary.
Applied a (slightly modified) patch from https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9574.
As far as I understand this would allow the cookie set during the OIDC flow to work on deployments using public baseurls that do not sit at the URL path root.
When receiving a /send_join request for a room with join rules set to 'restricted',
check if the user is a member of the spaces defined in the 'allow' key of the join rules.
This only applies to an experimental room version, as defined in MSC3083.
This attempts to be a direct port of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-dinsic/pull/74 to mainline. There was some fiddling required to deal with the changes that have been made to mainline since (mainly dealing with the split of `RegistrationWorkerStore` from `RegistrationStore`, and the changes made to `self.make_request` in test code).

When joining a room with join rules set to 'restricted', check if the
user is a member of the spaces defined in the 'allow' key of the join rules.
This only applies to an experimental room version, as defined in MSC3083.
At the moment, if you'd like to share presence between local or remote users, those users must be sharing a room together. This isn't always the most convenient or useful situation though.
This PR adds a module to Synapse that will allow deployments to set up extra logic on where presence updates should be routed. The module must implement two methods, `get_users_for_states` and `get_interested_users`. These methods are given presence updates or user IDs and must return information that Synapse will use to grant passing presence updates around.
A method is additionally added to `ModuleApi` which allows triggering a set of users to receive the current, online presence information for all users they are considered interested in. This is the equivalent of that user receiving presence information during an initial sync.
The goal of this module is to be fairly generic and useful for a variety of applications, with hard requirements being:
* Sending state for a specific set or all known users to a defined set of local and remote users.
* The ability to trigger an initial sync for specific users, so they receive all current state.
`room_invite_state_types` was inconvenient as a configuration setting, because
anyone that ever set it would not receive any new types that were added to the
defaults. Here, we deprecate the old setting, and replace it with a couple of
new settings under `room_prejoin_state`.
This should fix a class of bug where we forget to check if e.g. the appservice shouldn't be ratelimited.
We also check the `ratelimit_override` table to check if the user has ratelimiting disabled. That table is really only meant to override the event sender ratelimiting, so we don't use any values from it (as they might not make sense for different rate limits), but we do infer that if ratelimiting is disabled for the user we should disabled all ratelimits.
Fixes#9663
Running `dmypy run` will do a `mypy` check while spinning up a daemon
that makes rerunning `dmypy run` a lot faster.
`dmypy` doesn't support `follow_imports = silent` and has
`local_partial_types` enabled, so this PR enables those options and
fixes the issues that were newly raised. Note that `local_partial_types`
will be enabled by default in upcoming mypy releases.
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.
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.
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`.
Background: When we receive incoming federation traffic, and notice that we are missing prev_events from
the incoming traffic, first we do a `/get_missing_events` request, and then if we still have missing prev_events,
we set up new backwards-extremities. To do that, we need to make a `/state_ids` request to ask the remote
server for the state at those prev_events, and then we may need to then ask the remote server for any events
in that state which we don't already have, as well as the auth events for those missing state events, so that we
can auth them.
This PR attempts to optimise the processing of that state request. The `state_ids` API returns a list of the state
events, as well as a list of all the auth events for *all* of those state events. The optimisation comes from the
observation that we are currently loading all of those auth events into memory at the start of the operation, but
we almost certainly aren't going to need *all* of the auth events. Rather, we can check that we have them, and
leave the actual load into memory for later. (Ideally the federation API would tell us which auth events we're
actually going to need, but it doesn't.)
The effect of this is to reduce the number of events that I need to load for an event in Matrix HQ from about
60000 to about 22000, which means it can stay in my in-memory cache, whereas previously the sheer number
of events meant that all 60K events had to be loaded from db for each request, due to the amount of cache
churn. (NB I've already tripled the size of the cache from its default of 10K).
Unfortunately I've ended up basically C&Ping `_get_state_for_room` and `_get_events_from_store_or_dest` into
a new method, because `_get_state_for_room` is also called during backfill, which expects the auth events to be
returned, so the same tricks don't work. That said, I don't really know why that codepath is completely different
(ultimately we're doing the same thing in setting up a new backwards extremity) so I've left a TODO suggesting
that we clean it up.
We either need to pass the auth provider over the replication api, or make sure
we report the auth provider on the worker that received the request. I've gone
with the latter.
