It's quite important that get_missing_events returns the *latest* events in the
room; however we were pulling event ids out of the database until we got *at
least* 10, and then taking the *earliest* of the results.
We also shouldn't really be relying on depth, and should be checking the
room_id.
- Improve logging: log things in the right order, include destination and txids
in all log lines, don't log successful responses twice
- Fix the docstring on TransportLayerClient.send_transaction
- Don't use treq.request, which is overcomplicated for our purposes: just use a
twisted.web.client.Agent.
- simplify the logic for setting up the bodyProducer
- fix bytes/str confusions
when processing incoming transactions, it can be hard to see what's going on,
because we process a bunch of stuff in parallel, and because we may end up
recursively working our way through a chain of three or four events.
This commit creates a way to use logcontexts to add the relevant event ids to
the log lines.
There's really no point in checking for destinations called "localhost" because
there is nothing stopping people creating other DNS entries which point to
127.0.0.1. The right fix for this is
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3953.
Blocking localhost, on the other hand, means that you get a surprise when
trying to connect a test server on localhost to an existing server (with a
'normal' server_name).
ExpiringCache required that `start()` be called before it would actually
start expiring entries. A number of places didn't do that.
This PR removes `start` from ExpiringCache, and automatically starts
backround reaping process on creation instead.
Add some informative comments about what's going on here.
Also, `sent_to_us_directly` and `get_missing` were doing the same thing (apart
from in `_handle_queued_pdus`, which looks like a bug), so let's get rid of
`get_missing` and use `sent_to_us_directly` consistently.
If we receive an event that doesn't pass their content hash check (e.g.
due to already being redacted) then we hit a bug which causes an
exception to be raised, which then promplty stops the event (and
request) from being processed.
This effects all sorts of federation APIs, including joining rooms with
a redacted state event.
We should check that both the sender's server, and the server which created the
event_id (which may be different from whatever the remote server has told us
the origin is), have signed the event.
When we get a federation request which refers to an event id, make sure that
said event is in the room the caller claims it is in.

This commit replaces SynapseError.from_http_response_exception with
HttpResponseException.to_synapse_error.
The new method actually returns a ProxiedRequestError, which allows us to pass
through additional metadata from the API call.
We really shouldn't be sending all CodeMessageExceptions back over the C-S API;
it will include things like 401s which we shouldn't proxy.
That means that we need to explicitly turn a few HttpResponseExceptions into
SynapseErrors in the federation layer.
The effect of the latter is that the matrix errcode will get passed through
correctly to calling clients, which might help with some of the random
M_UNKNOWN errors when trying to join rooms.
This fixes#3518, and ensures that we get useful logs and metrics for lots of
things that happen in the background.
(There are certainly more things that happen in the background; these are just
the common ones I've found running a single-process synapse locally).
