Thanks to some slightly overzealous cleanup in the
`delete_old_current_state_events`, it's possible to end up with no
`event_forward_extremities` in a room where we have outstanding local
invites. The user would then get a "no create event in auth events" when trying
to reject the invite.
We can hack around it by using the dangling invite as the prev event.
If there are *no* files with CRLF line endings, then the xargs exits with a
non-zero exit code (as expected), but then, since that is the last thing to
happen in the script, the script as a whole exits non-zero, making the whole
thing fail.
using `if/then/fi` instead of `&& (...)` means that the script exits with a
zero exit code.
IIRC this doesn't break tests because its only hit on reconnection, or something.
Basically, when a process needs to fetch missing updates for the `typing` stream it needs to query the writer instance via HTTP (as we don't write typing notifications to the DB), the problem was that the endpoint (`streams`) was only registered on master and specifically not on the typing writer worker.
Most of the stuff we do for replication commands can be done synchronously. There's no point spinning up background processes if we're not going to need them.
Handling of incoming typing stream updates from replication was not
hooked up on master, effecting set ups where typing was handled on a
different worker.
This is really only a problem if the master process is also handling
sync requests, which is unlikely for those that are at the stage of
moving typing off.
The other observable effect is that if a worker restarts or a
replication connect drops then the typing worker will issue a
`POSITION typing`, triggering master process to try and stream *all*
typing updates from position 0.
Fixes#7907
Converts tests/rest/admin/test_room.py to have unix file endings after they were accidentally changed in #7613.
Keeping the same changelog as #7613 as it hasn't gone out in a release yet.
If we send out an event which refers to `prev_events` which other servers in
the federation are missing, then (after a round or two of backfill attempts),
they will end up asking us for `/state_ids` at a particular point in the DAG.
As per https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7893, this is quite
expensive, and we tend to see lots of very similar requests around the same
time.
We can therefore handle this much more efficiently by using a cache, which (a)
ensures that if we see the same request from multiple servers (or even the same
server, multiple times), then they share the result, and (b) any other servers
that miss the initial excitement can also benefit from the work.
[It's interesting to note that `/state` has a cache for exactly this
reason. `/state` is now essentially unused and replaced with `/state_ids`, but
evidently when we replaced it we forgot to add a cache to the new endpoint.]
For inbound federation requests, if a given remote server makes too many
requests at once, we start stacking them up rather than processing them
immediatedly.
However, that means that there is a fair chance that the requesting server will
disconnect before we start processing the request. In that case, if it was a
read-only request (ie, a GET request), there is absolutely no point in
building a response (and some requests are quite expensive to handle).
Even in the case of a POST request, one of two things will happen:
* Most likely, the requesting server will retry the request and we'll get the
information anyway.
* Even if it doesn't, the requesting server has to assume that we didn't get
the memo, and act accordingly.
In short, we're better off aborting the request at this point rather than
ploughing on with what might be a quite expensive request.
Run `isort`, `flake8` and `black` over the `contrib/` directory and `synctl` script. The latter was already being done in CI, but now the linting script does it too.

The [postgres setup docs](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/postgres.md#set-up-database) recommend setting up your database with user `synapse_user`.
However, uncommenting the postgres defaults in the sample config leave you with user `synapse`.
This PR switches the sample config to recommend `synapse_user`. Took a me a second to figure this out, so assume this will beneficial to others.
As mentioned in #7397, switching to a debian base should help with multi-arch work to save time on compiling. This is unashamedly based on #6373, but without the extra functionality. Switch python version back to generic 3.7 to always pull the latest. Essentially, keeping this as small as possible. The image is bigger though unfortunately.
It serves no purpose and updating everytime we write to the device inbox
stream means all such transactions will conflict, causing lots of
transaction failures and retries.
When we get behind on replication, we tend to stack up background processes
behind a linearizer. Bg processes are heavy (particularly with respect to
prometheus metrics) and linearizers aren't terribly efficient once the queue
gets long either.
A better approach is to maintain a queue of requests to be processed, and
nominate a single process to work its way through the queue.
Fixes: #7444
When considering rooms to clean up in `delete_old_current_state_events`, skip
rooms which we are creating, which otherwise look a bit like rooms we have
left.
Fixes#7834.
As far as I can tell from the sentry logs, the only time this has actually done
anything in the last two years is when we had two master workers running at
once, and even then, it made a bit of a mess of it (see
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7845#issuecomment-658238739).
Generally I feel like this code is doing more harm than good.
The replication client requires that arguments are given as keyword
arguments, which was not done in this case. We also pull out the logic
so that we can catch and handle any exceptions raised, rather than
leaving them unhandled.
When fetching the state of a room over federation we receive the event
IDs of the state and auth chain. We then fetch those events that we
don't already have.
However, we used a function that recursively fetched any missing auth
events for the fetched events, which can lead to a lot of recursion if
the server is missing most of the auth chain. This work is entirely
pointless because would have queued up the missing events in the auth
chain to be fetched already.
Let's just diable the recursion, since it only gets called from one
place anyway.
Fixes#2181.
The basic premise is that, when we
fail to reject an invite via the remote server, we can generate our own
out-of-band leave event and persist it as an outlier, so that we have something
to send to the client.

This table is no longer used, so we may as well stop populating it. Removing it
would prevent people rolling back to older releases of Synapse, so that can
happen in a future release.
* Fix spec compliance; tweaks without values are valid
(default to True, which is only concretely specified for
`highlight`, but it seems only reasonable to generalise)
* Changelog for 7766.
* Add documentation to `tweaks_for_actions`
May as well tidy up when I'm here.
* Add a test for `tweaks_for_actions`

The package was pinned to <0.8.0 without an obvious reasoning with
7ad1d7635
in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5636
while the version selection looks to just try to exclude an arbitrary
next minor version number that might introduce API breaking changes.
Selecting the next minor number might be a good conservative selection.
Downstream distributions already reported success patching out the version
requirements.
This also fixes the integration of upgraded packages into openSUSE packages,
e.g. for openSUSE Tumbleweed which already ships prometheus_client >= 0.8 .

The CI appears to use the latest version of isort, which is a problem when isort gets a major version bump. Rather than try to pin the version, I've done the necessary to make isort5 happy with synapse.
