2021-05-27Pass the origin when calculating the spaces summary over GET. (#10079)Patrick Cloke2-1/+2
Fixes a bug due to conflicting PRs which were merged. (One added a new caller to a method, the other added a new parameter to the same method.)

2021-05-24Remove `keylen` from `LruCache`. (#9993)Richard van der Hoff11-55/+80
`keylen` seems to be a thing that is frequently incorrectly set, and we don't really need it. The only time it was used was to figure out if we had removed a subtree in `del_multi`, which we can do better by changing `TreeCache.pop` to return a different type (`TreeCacheNode`). Commits should be independently reviewable.
2021-05-24Enable experimental spaces by default. (#10011)Patrick Cloke4-2/+35
The previous spaces_enabled flag now defaults to true and is exposed in the sample config.

2021-05-21Fix /upload 500'ing when presented a very large image (#10029)Michael Telatynski3-0/+12
* Fix /upload 500'ing when presented a very large image Catch DecompressionBombError and re-raise as ThumbnailErrors * Set PIL's MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS to match homeserver.yaml to get it to bomb out quicker, to load less into memory in the case of super large images * Add changelog entry for 10029
2021-05-21Add a test for update_presence (#10033)Andrew Morgan2-1/+47
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9962 uncovered that we accidentally removed all but one of the presence updates that we store in the database when persisting multiple updates. This could cause users' presence state to be stale. The bug was fixed in #10014, and this PR just adds a test that failed on the old code, and was used to initially verify the bug. The test attempts to insert some presence into the database in a batch using `PresenceStore.update_presence`, and then simply pulls it out again.
2021-05-21Remove unused properties from the SpaceSummaryHandler. (#10038)Patrick Cloke2-2/+1
2021-05-21Fixed removal of new presence stream states (#10014)Marek Matys2-9/+10
Fixes: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9962 This is a fix for above problem. I fixed it by swaping the order of insertion of new records and deletion of old ones. This ensures that we don't delete fresh database records as we do deletes before inserts. Signed-off-by: Marek Matys <themarcq@gmail.com>
2021-05-21Add a batching queue implementation. (#10017)Erik Johnston3-0/+323
2021-05-20Add `Keyring.verify_events_for_server` and reduce memory usage (#10018)Erik Johnston3-22/+94
Also add support for giving a callback to generate the JSON object to verify. This should reduce memory usage, as we no longer have the event in memory in dict form (which has a large memory footprint) for extend periods of time.
2021-05-20Use ijson to parse the response to `/send_join`, reducing memory usage. (#9958)Erik Johnston7-58/+227
Instead of parsing the full response to `/send_join` into Python objects (which can be huge for large rooms) and *then* parsing that into events, we instead use ijson to stream parse the response directly into `EventBase` objects.
2021-05-20Allow a user who could join a restricted room to see it in spaces summary. ↵Patrick Cloke4-54/+254
(#9922) This finishes up the experimental implementation of MSC3083 by showing the restricted rooms in the spaces summary (from MSC2946).

2021-05-14Remove unnecessary SystemRandom from SQLBaseStore (#9987)Dan Callahan3-3/+3

2021-05-11Sort child events according to MSC1772 for the spaces summary API. (#9954)Patrick Cloke3-2/+151
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.
2021-05-11Support fetching the spaces summary via GET over federation. (#9947)Patrick Cloke4-0/+29
Per changes in MSC2946, the C-S and S-S APIs for spaces summary should use GET requests. Until this is stable, the POST endpoints still exist. This does not switch federation requests to use the GET version yet since it is newly added and already deployed servers might not support it. When switching to the stable endpoint we should switch to GET requests.
2021-05-11Send the `m.room.create` stripped event with invites (support MSC1772). (#9966)Patrick Cloke5-5/+34
MSC1772 specifies the m.room.create event should be sent as part of the invite_state. This was done optionally behind an experimental flag, but is now done by default due to MSC1772 being approved.

2021-05-10Improve performance of backfilling in large rooms. (#9935)Erik Johnston2-69/+55

This will double count slightly in the presence of interned strings. It's off by default as it can consume a lot of resources.
2021-05-05Limit how often GC happens by time. (#9902)Erik Johnston6-3/+63
Synapse can be quite memory intensive, and unless care is taken to tune the GC thresholds it can end up thrashing, causing noticable performance problems for large servers. We fix this by limiting how often we GC a given generation, regardless of current counts/thresholds. This does not help with the reverse problem where the thresholds are set too high, but that should only happen in situations where they've been manually configured. Adds a `gc_min_seconds_between` config option to override the defaults. Fixes #9890.

2021-05-05Leave out optional keys from /sync (#9919)DeepBlueV7.X4-50/+51
This leaves out all optional keys from /sync. This should be fine for all clients tested against conduit already, but it may break some clients, as such we should check, that at least most of them don't break horribly and maybe back out some of the individual changes. (We can probably always leave out groups for example, while the others may cause more issues.) Signed-off-by: Nicolas Werner <nicolas.werner@hotmail.de>

2021-04-23Kill off `_PushHTTPChannel`. (#9878)Richard van der Hoff3-121/+20
First of all, a fixup to `FakeChannel` which is needed to make it work with the default HTTP channel implementation. Secondly, it looks like we no longer need `_PushHTTPChannel`, because as of #8013, the producer that gets attached to the `HTTPChannel` is now an `IPushProducer`. This is good, because it means we can remove a whole load of test-specific boilerplate which causes variation between tests and production.

2021-04-20Always use the name as the log ID. (#9829)Patrick Cloke8-34/+26
As far as I can tell our logging contexts are meant to log the request ID, or sometimes the request ID followed by a suffix (this is generally stored in the name field of LoggingContext). There's also code to log the name@memory location, but I'm not sure this is ever used. This simplifies the code paths to require every logging context to have a name and use that in logging. For sub-contexts (created via nested_logging_contexts, defer_to_threadpool, Measure) we use the current context's str (which becomes their name or the string "sentinel") and then potentially modify that (e.g. add a suffix).

2021-04-14Add a dockerfile for running a set of Synapse worker processes (#9162)Andrew Morgan11-6/+867
This PR adds a Dockerfile and some supporting files to the `docker/` directory. The Dockerfile's intention is to spin up a container with: * A Synapse main process. * Any desired worker processes, defined by a `SYNAPSE_WORKERS` environment variable supplied at runtime. * A redis for worker communication. * A nginx for routing traffic. * A supervisord to start all worker processes and monitor them if any go down. Note that **this is not currently intended to be used in production**. If you'd like to use Synapse workers with Docker, instead make use of the official image, with one worker per container. The purpose of this dockerfile is currently to allow testing Synapse in worker mode with the [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/) test suite. `configure_workers_and_start.py` is where most of the magic happens in this PR. It reads from environment variables (documented in the file) and creates all necessary config files for the processes. It is the entrypoint of the Dockerfile, and thus is run any time the docker container is spun up, recreating all config files in case you want to use a different set of workers. One can specify which workers they'd like to use by setting the `SYNAPSE_WORKERS` environment variable (as a comma-separated list of arbitrary worker names) or by setting it to `*` for all worker processes. We will be using the latter in CI. Huge thanks to @MatMaul for helping get this all working :tada: This PR is paired with its equivalent on the Complement side: https://github.com/matrix-org/complement/pull/62. Note, for the purpose of testing this PR before it's merged: You'll need to (re)build the base Synapse docker image for everything to work (`matrixdotorg/synapse:latest`). Then build the worker-based docker image on top (`matrixdotorg/synapse:workers`).
2021-04-14Add note to docker docs explaining platform support (#9801)Andrew Morgan2-3/+7
Context is in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/9764#issuecomment-818615894. I struggled to find a more official link for this. The problem occurs when using WSL1 instead of WSL2, which some Windows platforms (at least Server 2019) still don't have. Docker have updated their documentation to paint a much happier picture now given WSL2's support. The last sentence here can probably be removed once WSL1 is no longer around... though that will likely not be for a very long time.

2021-04-06Add a Synapse Module for configuring presence update routing (#9491)Andrew Morgan14-64/+1282
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.

PR #7124 made an attempt to remove the old constraint, but got the name wrong, so it didn't work. Here we update the bg update and rerun it. Fixes #8649.

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.

2021-03-26Make pip install faster in Docker build for Complement testing (#9610)Eric Eastwood2-43/+42
Make pip install faster in Docker build for [Complement](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement) testing. If files have changed in a `COPY` command, Docker will invalidate all of the layers below. So I changed the order of operations to install all dependencies before we `COPY synapse /synapse/synapse/`. This allows Docker to use our cached layer of dependencies even when we change the source of Synapse and speed up builds dramatically! `53.5s` -> `3.7s` builds 🤘 As an alternative, I did try using BuildKit caches but this still took 30 seconds overall on that step. 15 seconds to gather the dependencies from the cache and another 15 seconds to `Installing collected packages`.

2021-03-25Add a storage method for returning all current presence from all users (#9650)Andrew Morgan3-3/+69
Split off from https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/9491 Adds a storage method for getting the current presence of all local users, optionally excluding those that are offline. This will be used by the code in #9491 when a PresenceRouter module informs Synapse that a given user should have `"ALL"` user presence updates routed to them. Specifically, it is used here: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/b588f16e391d664b11f43257eabf70663f0c6d59/synapse/handlers/presence.py#L1131-L1133 Note that there is a `get_all_presence_updates` function just above. That function is intended to walk up the table through stream IDs, and is primarily used by the presence replication stream. I could possibly make use of it in the PresenceRouter-related code, but it would be a bit of a bodge.

This is very bare-bones for now: federation will come soon, while pagination is descoped for now but will come later.

2021-03-18Make federation catchup send last event from any server. (#9640)Erik Johnston4-38/+141
Currently federation catchup will send the last *local* event that we failed to send to the remote. This can cause issues for large rooms where lots of servers have sent events while the remote server was down, as when it comes back up again it'll be flooded with events from various points in the DAG. Instead, let's make it so that all the servers send the most recent events, even if its not theirs. The remote should deduplicate the events, so there shouldn't be much overhead in doing this. Alternatively, the servers could only send local events if they were also extremities and hope that the other server will send the event over, but that is a bit risky.

2021-03-17Ensure we use a copy of the event content dict before modifying it in ↵Andrew Morgan5-2/+147
serialize_event (#9585) This bug was discovered by DINUM. We were modifying `serialized_event["content"]`, which - if you've got `USE_FROZEN_DICTS` turned on or are [using a third party rules module](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/17cd48fe5171d50da4cb59db647b993168e7dfab/synapse/events/third_party_rules.py#L73-L76) - will raise a 500 if you try to a edit a reply to a message. `serialized_event["content"]` could be set to the edit event's content, instead of a copy of it, which is bad as we attempt to modify it. Instead, we also end up modifying the original event's content. DINUM uses a third party rules module, which meant the event's content got frozen and thus an exception was raised. To be clear, the problem is not that the event's content was frozen. In fact doing so helped us uncover the fact we weren't copying event content correctly.

By splitting this to two separate methods the callers know what methods they can expect on the handler.

2021-03-17Fix bad naming of storage function (#9637)Erik Johnston4-4/+7
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.
