We +follow a simple 'inbound=outbound' model for contributions: the act of +submitting an 'inbound' contribution means that the contributor agrees to +license the code under the same terms as the project's overall 'outbound' +license - in our case, this is almost always Apache Software License v2 (see +<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/LICENSE">LICENSE</a>).</p> +<h1 id="2-what-do-i-need"><a class="header" href="#2-what-do-i-need">2. What do I need?</a></h1> +<p>If you are running Windows, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is strongly +recommended for development. More information about WSL can be found at +<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install</a>. Running Synapse natively +on Windows is not officially supported.</p> +<p>The code of Synapse is written in Python 3. To do pretty much anything, you'll need <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">a recent version of Python 3</a>. Your Python also needs support for <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html">virtual environments</a>. This is usually built-in, but some Linux distributions like Debian and Ubuntu split it out into its own package. Running <code>sudo apt install python3-venv</code> should be enough.</p> +<p>A recent version of the Rust compiler is needed to build the native modules. The +easiest way of installing the latest version is to use <a href="https://rustup.rs/">rustup</a>.</p> +<p>Synapse can connect to PostgreSQL via the <a href="https://pypi.org/project/psycopg2/">psycopg2</a> Python library. Building this library from source requires access to PostgreSQL's C header files. On Debian or Ubuntu Linux, these can be installed with <code>sudo apt install libpq-dev</code>.</p> +<p>Synapse has an optional, improved user search with better Unicode support. For that you need the development package of <code>libicu</code>. On Debian or Ubuntu Linux, this can be installed with <code>sudo apt install libicu-dev</code>.</p> +<p>The source code of Synapse is hosted on GitHub. You will also need <a href="https://github.com/git-guides/install-git">a recent version of git</a>.</p> +<p>For some tests, you will need <a href="https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/">a recent version of Docker</a>.</p> +<h1 id="3-get-the-source"><a class="header" href="#3-get-the-source">3. Get the source.</a></h1> +<p>The preferred and easiest way to contribute changes is to fork the relevant +project on GitHub, and then <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/">create a pull request</a> to ask us to pull your +changes into our repo.</p> +<p>Please base your changes on the <code>develop</code> branch.</p> +<pre><code class="language-sh">git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USER_NAME/synapse.git +git checkout develop +</code></pre> +<p>If you need help getting started with git, this is beyond the scope of the document, but you +can find many good git tutorials on the web.</p> +<h1 id="4-install-the-dependencies"><a class="header" href="#4-install-the-dependencies">4. Install the dependencies</a></h1> +<p>Before installing the Python dependencies, make sure you have installed a recent version +of Rust (see the "What do I need?" section above).

These are mainly used to +help avoid confusion if the Synapse codebase is rolled back after the database is +updated. They work as follows:</p> +<ul> +<li> +<p>The Synapse codebase defines a constant <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code> +which represents the expectations made about the database by that version. For +example, as of Synapse v1.36, this is <code>59</code>.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>The database stores a "compatibility version" in +<code>schema_compat_version.compat_version</code> which defines the <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code> of the +oldest version of Synapse which will work with the database. On startup, if +<code>compat_version</code> is found to be newer than <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, Synapse will refuse to +start.</p> +<p>Synapse automatically updates this field from +<code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code>.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Whenever a backwards-incompatible change is made to the database format (normally +via a <code>delta</code> file), <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code> is also updated +so that administrators can not accidentally roll back to a too-old version of Synapse.</p> +</li> +</ul> +<p>Generally, the goal is to maintain compatibility with at least one or two previous +releases of Synapse, so any substantial change tends to require multiple releases and a +bit of forward-planning to get right.</p> +<p>As a worked example: we want to remove the <code>room_stats_historical</code> table. Here is how it +might pan out.</p> +<ol> +<li> +<p>Replace any code that <em>reads</em> from <code>room_stats_historical</code> with alternative +implementations, but keep writing to it in case of rollback to an earlier version. +Also, increase <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>. In this +instance, there is no existing code which reads from <code>room_stats_historical</code>, so +our starting point is:</p> +<p>v1.36.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=59</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59</code></p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Next (say in Synapse v1.37.0): remove the code that <em>writes</em> to +<code>room_stats_historical</code>, but don’t yet remove the table in case of rollback to +v1.36.0. Again, we increase <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, but +because we have not broken compatibility with v1.36, we do not yet update +<code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code>. We now have:</p> +<p>v1.37.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=60</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=59</code>.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Later (say in Synapse v1.38.0): we can remove the table altogether. This will +break compatibility with v1.36.0, so we must update <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION</code> accordingly. +There is no need to update <code>synapse.storage.schema.SCHEMA_VERSION</code>, since there is no +change to the Synapse codebase here. So we end up with:</p> +<p>v1.38.0: <code>SCHEMA_VERSION=60</code>, <code>SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION=60</code>.</p> +</li> +</ol> +<p>If in doubt about whether to update <code>SCHEMA_VERSION</code> or not, it is generally best to +lean towards doing so.</p> +<h2 id="full-schema-dumps"><a class="header" href="#full-schema-dumps">Full schema dumps</a></h2> +<p>In the <code>full_schemas</code> directories, only the most recently-numbered snapshot is used +(<code>54</code> at the time of writing).

This will produce new +<code>full.sql.postgres</code> and <code>full.sql.sqlite</code> files.</p> +<p>Ensure postgres is installed, then run:</p> +<pre><code class="language-sh">./scripts-dev/make_full_schema.sh -p postgres_username -o output_dir/ +</code></pre> +<p>NB at the time of writing, this script predates the split into separate <code>state</code>/<code>main</code> +databases so will require updates to handle that correctly.</p> +<h2 id="delta-files"><a class="header" href="#delta-files">Delta files</a></h2> +<p>Delta files define the steps required to upgrade the database from an earlier version. +They can be written as either a file containing a series of SQL statements, or a Python +module.</p> +<p>Synapse remembers which delta files it has applied to a database (they are stored in the +<code>applied_schema_deltas</code> table) and will not re-apply them (even if a given file is +subsequently updated).</p> +<p>Delta files should be placed in a directory named <code>synapse/storage/schema/<database>/delta/<version>/</code>. +They are applied in alphanumeric order, so by convention the first two characters +of the filename should be an integer such as <code>01</code>, to put the file in the right order.</p> +<h3 id="sql-delta-files"><a class="header" href="#sql-delta-files">SQL delta files</a></h3> +<p>These should be named <code>*.sql</code>, or — for changes which should only be applied for a +given database engine — <code>*.sql.posgres</code> or <code>*.sql.sqlite</code>. For example, a delta which +adds a new column to the <code>foo</code> table might be called <code>01add_bar_to_foo.sql</code>.</p> +<p>Note that our SQL parser is a bit simple - it understands comments (<code>--</code> and <code>/*...*/</code>), +but complex statements which require a <code>;</code> in the middle of them (such as <code>CREATE TRIGGER</code>) are beyond it and you'll have to use a Python delta file.</p> +<h3 id="python-delta-files"><a class="header" href="#python-delta-files">Python delta files</a></h3> +<p>For more flexibility, a delta file can take the form of a python module. These should +be named <code>*.py</code>. Note that database-engine-specific modules are not supported here – +instead you can write <code>if isinstance(database_engine, PostgresEngine)</code> or similar.</p> +<p>A Python delta module should define either or both of the following functions:</p> +<pre><code class="language-python">import synapse.config.homeserver +import synapse.storage.engines +import synapse.storage.types + + +def run_create( + cur: synapse.storage.types.Cursor, + database_engine: synapse.storage.engines.BaseDatabaseEngine, +) -> None: + """Called whenever an existing or new database is to be upgraded""" + ... + +def run_upgrade( + cur: synapse.storage.types.Cursor, + database_engine: synapse.storage.engines.BaseDatabaseEngine, + config: synapse.config.homeserver.HomeServerConfig, +) -> None: + """Called whenever an existing database is to be upgraded.""" + ... +</code></pre> +<h2 id="boolean-columns"><a class="header" href="#boolean-columns">Boolean columns</a></h2> +<p>Boolean columns require special treatment, since SQLite treats booleans the +same as integers.</p> +<p>Any new boolean column must be added to the <code>BOOLEAN_COLUMNS</code> list in +<code>synapse/_scripts/synapse_port_db.py</code>.

There are several places in Synapse +and even in the Matrix APIs like <a href="https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/server-server-api/#get_matrixfederationv1eventeventid"><code>GET /_matrix/federation/v1/event/{eventId}</code></a> +where we assume that event IDs are globally unique.</p> +<p>When scoping <code>event_id</code> in a database schema, it is often nice to accompany it +with <code>room_id</code> (<code>PRIMARY KEY (room_id, event_id)</code> and a <code>FOREIGN KEY(room_id) REFERENCES rooms(room_id)</code>) which makes flexible lookups easy. For example it +makes it very easy to find and clean up everything in a room when it needs to be +purged (no need to use sub-<code>select</code> query or join from the <code>events</code> table).</p> +<p>A note on collisions: In room versions <code>1</code> and <code>2</code> it's possible to end up with +two events with the same <code>event_id</code> (in the same or different rooms). After room +version <code>3</code>, that can only happen with a hash collision, which we basically hope +will never happen (SHA256 has a massive big key space).</p> + + </main> + + <nav class="nav-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> + <!-- Mobile navigation buttons --> + <a rel="prev" href="../opentracing.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> + </a> + <a rel="next" href="../development/experimental_features.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> + </a> + <div style="clear: both"></div> + </nav> + </div> + </div> + + <nav class="nav-wide-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> + <a rel="prev" href="../opentracing.html" class="nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> + </a> + <a rel="next" href="../development/experimental_features.html" class="nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> + </a> + </nav> + + </div> + + <script type="text/javascript"> + window.playground_copyable = true; + </script> + <script src="../elasticlunr.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../mark.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../searcher.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../clipboard.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../highlight.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../book.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + + <!-- Custom JS scripts --> + <script type="text/javascript" src="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.js"></script> + </body> +</html> \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/v1.89/development/demo.html b/v1.89/development/demo.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..11d7469f70 --- /dev/null +++ b/v1.89/development/demo.html @@ -0,0 +1,224 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML> +<html lang="en" class="sidebar-visible no-js light"> + <head> + <!-- Book generated using mdBook --> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <title>Demo scripts - Synapse</title> + <!-- Custom HTML head --> + <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> + <meta name="description" content=""> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> + <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff" /> + + <link rel="icon" href="../favicon.svg"> + <link rel="shortcut icon" href="../favicon.png"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/variables.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/general.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/chrome.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/print.css" media="print"> + <!-- Fonts --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../FontAwesome/css/font-awesome.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../fonts/fonts.css"> + <!-- Highlight.js Stylesheets --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../highlight.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../tomorrow-night.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../ayu-highlight.css"> + + <!-- Custom theme stylesheets --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/remove-nav-buttons.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/indent-section-headers.css"> + </head> + <body> + <!-- Provide site root to javascript --> + <script type="text/javascript"> + var path_to_root = "../"; + var default_theme = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches ?

This is +applicable for features which:</p> +<ul> +<li>Are unstable in the Matrix spec (e.g. those defined by an MSC that has not yet been merged).</li> +<li>Developers are not confident in their use by general Synapse administrators/users +(e.g. a feature is incomplete, buggy, performs poorly, or needs further testing).</li> +</ul> +<p>Note that this only really applies to features which are expected to be desirable +to a broad audience. The <a href="../modules/index.html">module infrastructure</a> should +instead be investigated for non-standard features.</p> +<p>Guarding experimental features behind configuration flags should help with some +of the following scenarios:</p> +<ul> +<li>Ensure that clients do not assume that unstable features exist (failing +gracefully if they do not).</li> +<li>Unstable features do not become de-facto standards and can be removed +aggressively (since only those who have opted-in will be affected).</li> +<li>Ease finding the implementation of unstable features in Synapse (for future +removal or stabilization).</li> +<li>Ease testing a feature (or removal of feature) due to enabling/disabling without +code changes. It also becomes possible to ask for wider testing, if desired.</li> +</ul> +<p>Experimental configuration flags should be disabled by default (requiring Synapse +administrators to explicitly opt-in), although there are situations where it makes +sense (from a product point-of-view) to enable features by default. This is +expected and not an issue.</p> +<p>It is not a requirement for experimental features to be behind a configuration flag, +but one should be used if unsure.</p> +<p>New experimental configuration flags should be added under the <code>experimental</code> +configuration key (see the <code>synapse.config.experimental</code> file) and either explain +(briefly) what is being enabled, or include the MSC number.</p> + + </main> + + <nav class="nav-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> + <!-- Mobile navigation buttons --> + <a rel="prev" href="../development/database_schema.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> + </a> + <a rel="next" href="../development/dependencies.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> + </a> + <div style="clear: both"></div> + </nav> + </div> + </div> + + <nav class="nav-wide-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> + <a rel="prev" href="../development/database_schema.html" class="nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> + </a> + <a rel="next" href="../development/dependencies.html" class="nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> + </a> + </nav> + + </div> + + <script type="text/javascript"> + window.playground_copyable = true; + </script> + <script src="../elasticlunr.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../mark.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../searcher.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../clipboard.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../highlight.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../book.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + + <!-- Custom JS scripts --> + <script type="text/javascript" src="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.js"></script> + </body> +</html> \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/v1.89/development/git.html b/v1.89/development/git.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..dfbb987e67 --- /dev/null +++ b/v1.89/development/git.html @@ -0,0 +1,310 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML> +<html lang="en" class="sidebar-visible no-js light"> + <head> + <!-- Book generated using mdBook --> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <title>Git Usage - Synapse</title> + <!-- Custom HTML head --> + <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> + <meta name="description" content=""> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> + <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff" /> + + <link rel="icon" href="../favicon.svg"> + <link rel="shortcut icon" href="../favicon.png"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/variables.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/general.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/chrome.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/print.css" media="print"> + <!-- Fonts --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../FontAwesome/css/font-awesome.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../fonts/fonts.css"> + <!-- Highlight.js Stylesheets --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../highlight.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../tomorrow-night.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../ayu-highlight.css"> + + <!-- Custom theme stylesheets --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/remove-nav-buttons.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/indent-section-headers.css"> + </head> + <body> + <!-- Provide site root to javascript --> + <script type="text/javascript"> + var path_to_root = "../"; + var default_theme = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches ?

Here, by way of an arbitrary example, is the top of <code>git log --graph b2dba0607</code>:</p> +<img src="img/git/clean.png" alt="clean git graph" width="500px"> +<p>Note how the commit comment explains clearly what is changing and why. Also +note the <em>absence</em> of merge commits, as well as the absence of commits called +things like (to pick a few culprits): +<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/84691da6c">“pep8”</a>, <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/474810d9d">“fix broken +test”</a>, +<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/c9d72e457">“oops”</a>, +<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/836358823">“typo”</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/707374d5d">“Who's +the president?”</a>.</p> +<p>There are a number of reasons why keeping a clean commit history is a good +thing:</p> +<ul> +<li> +<p>From time to time, after a change lands, it turns out to be necessary to +revert it, or to backport it to a release branch. Those operations are +<em>much</em> easier when the change is contained in a single commit.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Similarly, it's much easier to answer questions like “is the fix for +<code>/publicRooms</code> on the release branch?” if that change consists of a single +commit.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Likewise: “what has changed on this branch in the last week?” is much +clearer without merges and “pep8” commits everywhere.</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Sometimes we need to figure out where a bug got introduced, or some +behaviour changed. One way of doing that is with <code>git bisect</code>: pick an +arbitrary commit between the known good point and the known bad point, and +see how the code behaves. However, that strategy fails if the commit you +chose is the middle of someone's epic branch in which they broke the world +before putting it back together again.</p> +</li> +</ul> +<p>One counterargument is that it is sometimes useful to see how a PR evolved as +it went through review cycles. This is true, but that information is always +available via the GitHub UI (or via the little-known <a href="https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/checking-out-pull-requests-locally">refs/pull +namespace</a>).</p> +<p>Of course, in reality, things are more complicated than that. We have release +branches as well as <code>develop</code> and <code>master</code>, and we deliberately merge changes +between them. Bugs often slip through and have to be fixed later. That's all +fine: this not a cast-iron rule which must be obeyed, but an ideal to aim +towards.</p> +<h2 id="merges-squashes-rebases-wtf"><a class="header" href="#merges-squashes-rebases-wtf">Merges, squashes, rebases: wtf?</a></h2> +<p>Ok, so that's what we'd like to achieve. How do we achieve it?</p> +<p>The TL;DR is: when you come to merge a pull request, you <em>probably</em> want to +“squash and merge”:</p> +<p><img src="img/git/squash.png" alt="squash and merge" />.</p> +<p>(This applies whether you are merging your own PR, or that of another +contributor.)</p> +<p>“Squash and merge”<sup id="a1"><a href="#f1">1</a></sup> takes all of the changes in the +PR, and bundles them into a single commit. GitHub gives you the opportunity to +edit the commit message before you confirm, and normally you should do so, +because the default will be useless (again: <code>* woops typo</code> is not a useful +thing to keep in the historical record).</p> +<p>The main problem with this approach comes when you have a series of pull +requests which build on top of one another: as soon as you squash-merge the +first PR, you'll end up with a stack of conflicts to resolve in all of the +others. In general, it's best to avoid this situation in the first place by +trying not to have multiple related PRs in flight at the same time. Still, +sometimes that's not possible and doing a regular merge is the lesser evil.</p> +<p>Another occasion in which a regular merge makes more sense is a PR where you've +deliberately created a series of commits each of which makes sense in its own +right. For example: <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/6837">a PR which gradually propagates a refactoring operation +through the codebase</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5987">a +PR which is the culmination of several other +PRs</a>. In this case the ability +to figure out when a particular change/bug was introduced could be very useful.</p> +<p>Ultimately: <strong>this is not a hard-and-fast-rule</strong>. If in doubt, ask yourself “do +each of the commits I am about to merge make sense in their own right”, but +remember that we're just doing our best to balance “keeping the commit history +clean” with other factors.</p> +<h2 id="git-branching-model"><a class="header" href="#git-branching-model">Git branching model</a></h2> +<p>A <a href="https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/">lot</a> +<a href="http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html">of</a> +<a href="https://www.endoflineblog.com/gitflow-considered-harmful">words</a> have been +written in the past about git branching models (no really, <a href="https://martinfowler.com/articles/branching-patterns.html">a +lot</a>). I tend to +think the whole thing is overblown. Fundamentally, it's not that +complicated. Here's how we do it.</p> +<p>Let's start with a picture:</p> +<p><img src="img/git/branches.jpg" alt="branching model" /></p> +<p>It looks complicated, but it's really not. There's one basic rule: <em>anyone</em> is +free to merge from <em>any</em> more-stable branch to <em>any</em> less-stable branch at +<em>any</em> time<sup id="a2"><a href="#f2">2</a></sup>. (The principle behind this is that if a +change is good enough for the more-stable branch, then it's also good enough go +put in a less-stable branch.)</p> +<p>Meanwhile, merging (or squashing, as per the above) from a less-stable to a +more-stable branch is a deliberate action in which you want to publish a change +or a set of changes to (some subset of) the world: for example, this happens +when a PR is landed, or as part of our release process.</p> +<p>So, what counts as a more- or less-stable branch? A little reflection will show +that our active branches are ordered thus, from more-stable to less-stable:</p> +<ul> +<li><code>master</code> (tracks our last release).</li> +<li><code>release-vX.Y</code> (the branch where we prepare the next release)<sup +id="a3"><a href="#f3">3</a></sup>.</li> +<li>PR branches which are targeting the release.</li> +<li><code>develop</code> (our "mainline" branch containing our bleeding-edge).</li> +<li>regular PR branches.</li> +</ul> +<p>The corollary is: if you have a bugfix that needs to land in both +<code>release-vX.Y</code> <em>and</em> <code>develop</code>, then you should base your PR on +<code>release-vX.Y</code>, get it merged there, and then merge from <code>release-vX.Y</code> to +<code>develop</code>. (If a fix lands in <code>develop</code> and we later need it in a +release-branch, we can of course cherry-pick it, but landing it in the release +branch first helps reduce the chance of annoying conflicts.)</p> +<hr /> +<p><b id="f1">[1]</b>: “Squash and merge” is GitHub's term for this +operation.

An edge is just a connection +between two events. In Synapse, we connect events by specifying their +<code>prev_events</code>. A subsequent event points back at a previous event.</p> +<pre><code>A (oldest) <---- B <---- C (most recent) +</code></pre> +<h2 id="depth-and-stream-ordering"><a class="header" href="#depth-and-stream-ordering">Depth and stream ordering</a></h2> +<p>Events are normally sorted by <code>(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)</code> where +<code>topological_ordering</code> is just <code>depth</code>. In other words, we first sort by <code>depth</code> +and then tie-break based on <code>stream_ordering</code>. <code>depth</code> is incremented as new +messages are added to the DAG. Normally, <code>stream_ordering</code> is an auto +incrementing integer, but backfilled events start with <code>stream_ordering=-1</code> and decrement.</p> +<hr /> +<ul> +<li><code>/sync</code> returns things in the order they arrive at the server (<code>stream_ordering</code>).</li> +<li><code>/messages</code> (and <code>/backfill</code> in the federation API) return them in the order determined by the event graph <code>(topological_ordering, stream_ordering)</code>.</li> +</ul> +<p>The general idea is that, if you're following a room in real-time (i.e. +<code>/sync</code>), you probably want to see the messages as they arrive at your server, +rather than skipping any that arrived late; whereas if you're looking at a +historical section of timeline (i.e. <code>/messages</code>), you want to see the best +representation of the state of the room as others were seeing it at the time.</p> +<h2 id="outliers"><a class="header" href="#outliers">Outliers</a></h2> +<p>We mark an event as an <code>outlier</code> when we haven't figured out the state for the +room at that point in the DAG yet. They are "floating" events that we haven't +yet correlated to the DAG.</p> +<p>Outliers typically arise when we fetch the auth chain or state for a given +event. When that happens, we just grab the events in the state/auth chain, +without calculating the state at those events, or backfilling their +<code>prev_events</code>. Since we don't have the state at any events fetched in that +way, we mark them as outliers.</p> +<p>So, typically, we won't have the <code>prev_events</code> of an <code>outlier</code> in the database, +(though it's entirely possible that we <em>might</em> have them for some other +reason). Other things that make outliers different from regular events:</p> +<ul> +<li> +<p>We don't have state for them, so there should be no entry in +<code>event_to_state_groups</code> for an outlier. (In practice this isn't always +the case, though I'm not sure why: see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12201).</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>We don't record entries for them in the <code>event_edges</code>, +<code>event_forward_extremeties</code> or <code>event_backward_extremities</code> tables.</p> +</li> +</ul> +<p>Since outliers are not tied into the DAG, they do not normally form part of the +timeline sent down to clients via <code>/sync</code> or <code>/messages</code>; however there is an +exception:</p> +<h3 id="out-of-band-membership-events"><a class="header" href="#out-of-band-membership-events">Out-of-band membership events</a></h3> +<p>A special case of outlier events are some membership events for federated rooms +that we aren't full members of. For example:</p> +<ul> +<li>invites received over federation, before we join the room</li> +<li><em>rejections</em> for said invites</li> +<li>knock events for rooms that we would like to join but have not yet joined.</li> +</ul> +<p>In all the above cases, we don't have the state for the room, which is why they +are treated as outliers. They are a bit special though, in that they are +proactively sent to clients via <code>/sync</code>.</p> +<h2 id="forward-extremity"><a class="header" href="#forward-extremity">Forward extremity</a></h2> +<p>Most-recent-in-time events in the DAG which are not referenced by any other +events' <code>prev_events</code> yet. (In this definition, outliers, rejected events, and +soft-failed events don't count.)</p> +<p>The forward extremities of a room (or at least, a subset of them, if there are +more than ten) are used as the <code>prev_events</code> when the next event is sent.</p> +<p>The "current state" of a room (ie: the state which would be used if we +generated a new event) is, therefore, the resolution of the room states +at each of the forward extremities.</p> +<h2 id="backward-extremity"><a class="header" href="#backward-extremity">Backward extremity</a></h2> +<p>The current marker of where we have backfilled up to and will generally be the +<code>prev_events</code> of the oldest-in-time events we have in the DAG. This gives a starting point when +backfilling history.</p> +<p>Note that, unlike forward extremities, we typically don't have any backward +extremity events themselves in the database - or, if we do, they will be "outliers" (see +above). Either way, we don't expect to have the room state at a backward extremity.</p> +<p>When we persist a non-outlier event, if it was previously a backward extremity, +we clear it as a backward extremity and set all of its <code>prev_events</code> as the new +backward extremities if they aren't already persisted as non-outliers. This +therefore keeps the backward extremities up-to-date.</p> +<h2 id="state-groups"><a class="header" href="#state-groups">State groups</a></h2> +<p>For every non-outlier event we need to know the state at that event. Instead of +storing the full state for each event in the DB (i.e. a <code>event_id -> state</code> +mapping), which is <em>very</em> space inefficient when state doesn't change, we +instead assign each different set of state a "state group" and then have +mappings of <code>event_id -> state_group</code> and <code>state_group -> state</code>.</p> +<h3 id="stage-group-edges"><a class="header" href="#stage-group-edges">Stage group edges</a></h3> +<p>TODO: <code>state_group_edges</code> is a further optimization... +notes from @Azrenbeth, https://pastebin.com/seUGVGeT</p> + + </main> + + <nav class="nav-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> + <!-- Mobile navigation buttons --> + <a rel="prev" href="../development/cas.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> + </a> + <a rel="next" href="../auth_chain_difference_algorithm.html" class="mobile-nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> + </a> + <div style="clear: both"></div> + </nav> + </div> + </div> + + <nav class="nav-wide-wrapper" aria-label="Page navigation"> + <a rel="prev" href="../development/cas.html" class="nav-chapters previous" title="Previous chapter" aria-label="Previous chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Left"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> + </a> + <a rel="next" href="../auth_chain_difference_algorithm.html" class="nav-chapters next" title="Next chapter" aria-label="Next chapter" aria-keyshortcuts="Right"> + <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> + </a> + </nav> + + </div> + + <script type="text/javascript"> + window.playground_copyable = true; + </script> + <script src="../elasticlunr.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../mark.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../searcher.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../clipboard.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../highlight.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + <script src="../book.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> + + <!-- Custom JS scripts --> + <script type="text/javascript" src="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.js"></script> + </body> +</html> \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/v1.89/development/saml.html b/v1.89/development/saml.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..1a989d6454 --- /dev/null +++ b/v1.89/development/saml.html @@ -0,0 +1,227 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML> +<html lang="en" class="sidebar-visible no-js light"> + <head> + <!-- Book generated using mdBook --> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <title>SAML - Synapse</title> + <!-- Custom HTML head --> + <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> + <meta name="description" content=""> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> + <meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff" /> + + <link rel="icon" href="../favicon.svg"> + <link rel="shortcut icon" href="../favicon.png"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/variables.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/general.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/chrome.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/print.css" media="print"> + <!-- Fonts --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../FontAwesome/css/font-awesome.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../fonts/fonts.css"> + <!-- Highlight.js Stylesheets --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../highlight.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../tomorrow-night.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../ayu-highlight.css"> + + <!-- Custom theme stylesheets --> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/table-of-contents.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/remove-nav-buttons.css"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="../docs/website_files/indent-section-headers.css"> + </head> + <body> + <!-- Provide site root to javascript --> + <script type="text/javascript"> + var path_to_root = "../"; + var default_theme = window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches ?

See +<a href="https://spec.matrix.org/v1.5/rooms/v10/#authorization-rules">v10 auth rules</a>:</p> +<blockquote> +<ol start="4"> +<li>If type is m.room.member: [...] +> +> 5. If membership is leave: +> +> 1. If the sender matches state_key, allow if and only if that user’s current membership state is invite, join, or knock. +2. [...]</li> +</ol> +</blockquote> +<p>I think this means that (well-formed!) self-leaves are governed entirely by +4.5.1. This means that if we correctly calculate state which says that <code>U</code> is +invited, joined or knocked and include it in the leave's auth events, our event +is accepted by checks 4 and 5 on incoming events.</p> +<blockquote> +<ol start="4"> +<li>Passes authorization rules based on the event’s auth events, otherwise +> it is rejected.</li> +<li>Passes authorization rules based on the state before the event, otherwise +> it is rejected.</li> +</ol> +</blockquote> +<p>The only way to fail check 6 is if the receiving server's current state of the +room says that <code>U</code> is banned, has left, or has no membership event. But this is +fine: the receiving server already thinks that <code>U</code> isn't in the room.</p> +<blockquote> +<ol start="6"> +<li>Passes authorization rules based on the current state of the room, +> otherwise it is “soft failed”.</li> +</ol> +</blockquote> +<p>For the second point (publishing the leave event), the best thing we can do is +to is publish to all HSes we know to be currently in the room. If they miss that +event, they might send us traffic in the room that we don't care about. This is +a problem with leaving after a "full" join; we don't seek to fix this with +partial joins.</p> +<p>(With that said: there's nothing machine-readable in the /send response. I don't +think we can deduce "destination has left the room" from a failure to /send an +event into that room?)</p> +<h4 id="can-we-still-do-this-during-a-partial-join"><a class="header" href="#can-we-still-do-this-during-a-partial-join">Can we still do this during a partial join?</a></h4> +<p>We can create leave events and can choose what gets included in our auth events, +so we can be sure that we pass check 4 on incoming events. For check 5, we might +have an incorrect view of the state before an event. +The only way we might erroneously think a leave is valid is if</p> +<ul> +<li>the partial state before the leave has <code>U</code> joined, invited or knocked, but</li> +<li>the full state before the leave has <code>U</code> banned, left or not present,</li> +</ul> +<p>in which case the leave doesn't make anything worse: other HSes already consider +us as not in the room, and will continue to do so after seeing the leave.</p> +<p>The remaining obstacle is then: can we safely broadcast the leave event? We may +miss servers or incorrectly think that a server is in the room. Or the +destination server may be offline and miss the transaction containing our leave +event.This should self-heal when they see an event whose <code>prev_events</code> descends +from our leave.</p> +<p>Another option we considered was to use federation <code>/send_leave</code> to ask a +fully-joined server to send out the event on our behalf.
