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.

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.

State res v2 across large data sets can be very CPU intensive, and if
all the relevant events are in the cache the algorithm will run from
start to finish within a single reactor tick. This can result in
blocking the reactor tick for several seconds, which can have major
repercussions on other requests.
To fix this we simply add the occaisonal `sleep(0)` during iterations to
yield execution until the next reactor tick. The aim is to only do this
for large data sets so that we don't impact otherwise quick resolutions.=
HTTP requires the response to contain a Content-Length header unless chunked encoding is being used.
Prometheus metrics endpoint did not set this, causing software such as prometheus-proxy to not be able to scrape synapse for metrics.

* Always return an unread_count in get_unread_event_push_actions_by_room_for_user
* Don't always expect unread_count to be there so we don't take out sync entirely if something goes wrong
This requires a new config option to specify which media repo should be
responsible for running background jobs to e.g. clear out expired URL
preview caches.
The aim here is to make it easier to reason about when streams are limited and when they're not, by moving the logic into the database functions themselves. This should mean we can kill of `db_query_to_update_function` function.
This ended up being a bit more invasive than I'd hoped for (not helped by
generic_worker duplicating some of the code from homeserver), but hopefully
it's an improvement.
The idea is that, rather than storing unstructured `dict`s in the config for
the listener configurations, we instead parse it into a structured
`ListenerConfig` object.

Broke in: #7649
We had a `yield` acting on a coroutine. To be fair this one is a bit difficult to notice as there's a function in the middle that just passes the coroutine along.
The spec [states](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#phone-number) that `m.id.phone` requires the field `country` and `phone`.
In Synapse, we've been enforcing `country` and `number`.
I am not currently sure whether this affects any client implementations.
This issue was introduced in #1994.
Fixes https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/2431
Adds config option `encryption_enabled_by_default_for_room_type`, which determines whether encryption should be enabled with the default encryption algorithm in private or public rooms upon creation. Whether the room is private or public is decided based upon the room creation preset that is used.
Part of this PR is also pulling out all of the individual instances of `m.megolm.v1.aes-sha2` into a constant variable to eliminate typos ala https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/7637
Based on #7637
* Ensure account data stream IDs are unique.
The account data stream is shared between three tables, and the maximum
allocated ID was tracked in a dedicated table. Updating the max ID
happened outside the transaction that allocated the ID, leading to a
race where if the server was restarted then the same ID could be
allocated but the max ID failed to be updated, leading it to be reused.
The ID generators have support for tracking across multiple tables, so
we may as well use that instead of a dedicated table.
* Fix bug in account data replication stream.
If the same stream ID was used in both global and room account data then
the getting updates for the replication stream would fail due to
`heapq.merge(..)` trying to compare a `str` with a `None`. (This is
because you'd have two rows like `(534, '!room')` and `(534, None)` from
the room and global account data tables).
Fix is just to order by stream ID, since we don't rely on the ordering
beyond that. The bug where stream IDs can be reused should be fixed now,
so this case shouldn't happen going forward.
Fixes#7617
While working on https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5665 I found myself digging into the `Ratelimiter` class and seeing that it was both:
* Rather undocumented, and
* causing a *lot* of config checks
This PR attempts to refactor and comment the `Ratelimiter` class, as well as encourage config file accesses to only be done at instantiation.
Best to be reviewed commit-by-commit.
Calls `self.get_success` on all deferred methods instead of abusing `self.pump()`. This has the benefit of working with coroutines, as well as checking that method execution completed successfully.
There are also a few small cleanups that I made in the process.
* Expose `return_html_error`, and allow it to take a Jinja2 template instead of a raw string
* Clean up exception handling in SAML2ResponseResource
* use the existing code in `return_html_error` instead of re-implementing it
(giving it a jinja2 template rather than inventing a new form of template)
* do the exception-catching in the REST layer rather than in the handler
layer, to make sure we catch all exceptions.
It looks like `user_device_resync` was ignoring cross-signing keys from the results received from the remote server. This patch fixes this, by processing these keys using the same process `_handle_signing_key_updates` does (and effectively factor that part out of that function).
The query keeps showing up in my slow query log.

The bg update never managed to complete, because it kept being interrupted by
transactions which want to take a lock.
Just doing it in the foreground isn't that bad, and is a good deal simpler.
A couple of changes of significance:
* remove the `_last_ack < federation_position` condition, so that
updates will still be correctly processed after restart
* Correctly wire up send_federation_ack to the right class.
we can use `make_in_list_sql_clause` rather than doing our own half-baked
equivalent, which has the benefit of working just fine with empty lists.
(This has quite a lot of tests, so I think it's pretty safe)
The idea here is that if an instance persists an event via the replication HTTP API it can return before we receive that event over replication, which can lead to races where code assumes that persisting an event immediately updates various caches (e.g. current state of the room).
Most of Synapse doesn't hit such races, so we don't do the waiting automagically, instead we do so where necessary to avoid unnecessary delays. We may decide to change our minds here if it turns out there are a lot of subtle races going on.
People probably want to look at this commit by commit.
Instead of doing a complicated dance of deleting and moving aliases one
by one, which sends a canonical alias update into the old room for each
one, lets do it all in one go.
This also changes the function to move *all* local alias events to the new
room, however that happens later on anyway.
PyPy's gc.get_stats() returns an object containing detailed allocator statistics

When a call to `user_device_resync` fails, we don't currently mark the remote user's device list as out of sync, nor do we retry to sync it.
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6776 introduced some code infrastructure to mark device lists as stale/out of sync.
This commit uses that code infrastructure to mark device lists as out of sync if processing an incoming device list update makes the device handler realise that the device list is out of sync, but we can't resync right now.
It also adds a looping call to retry all failed resync every 30s. This shouldn't cause too much spam in the logs as this commit also removes the "Failed to handle device list update for..." warning logs when catching `NotRetryingDestination`.
Fixes#7418
We don't really make any promises about returning accurate presence data when
presence is disabled, so we may as well just return a static response, rather
than making the master handle a request.
`_is_server_still_joined` will throw if it is given state updates with non-user ID state keys with local user leaves. This is actually rarely a problem since local leaves almost always get persisted by themselves.
(I discovered this on a branch that was otherwise broken, so I haven't seen this in the wild)
* If an error occurs when stopping a process synctl now logs a warning.
* During a restart, synctl will avoid attempting to start Synapse if an error
occurs during stopping Synapse.
Make sure that the AccountDataStream presents complete updates, in the right
order.
This is much the same fix as #7337 and #7358, but applied to a different stream.
