2022-09-01Add a schema delta to drop unstable private read receipts. (#13692)Patrick Cloke2-0/+20
Otherwise they'll be leaked due to the filtering code only respecting the stable identifiers for private read receipts.
2022-09-01Disable calculating unread counts unless the config flag is enabled. (#13694)Patrick Cloke4-23/+30
This avoids doing work that will never be used (since the resulting unread counts will never be sent in a /sync response). The negative of doing this is that unread counts will be incorrect when the feature is initially enabled.

The method doesn't actually do any data fetching and the method that does, `_get_joined_profile_from_event_id`, has its own cache. Signed off by Nick @ Beeper (@Fizzadar).

The --force flag of dpkg-statoverride has been deprecated (apparently starting with the dpkg version in Debian buster). It offers --force-all as q quick fix, but the usage in the Debian postinst script is probably covered by --force-statoverride-add.

2022-08-30Fix bug where we wedge media plugins if clients disconnect early (#13660)Erik Johnston2-19/+22
We incorrectly didn't use the returned `Responder` if the client had disconnected, which meant that the resource used by the Responder wasn't correctly released. In particular, this exhausted the thread pools so that *all* requests timed out.
2022-08-30Do not wait for background updates to complete do expire URL cache. (#13657)Patrick Cloke2-4/+1
Media downloaded as part of a URL preview is normally deleted after two days. However, while a background database migration is running, the process is stopped. A long-running database migration can therefore cause the media store to fill up with old preview files. This logic was added in #2697 to make sure that we didn't try to run the expiry without an index on `local_media_repository.created_ts`; the original logic that needs that index was added in #2478 (in `get_url_cache_media_before`, as amended by 93247a424a5068b088567fa98b6990e47608b7cb), and is still present. Given that the background update was added before Synapse v1.0.0, just drop this check and assume the index exists.

2022-08-30Fix that user cannot `/forget` rooms after the last member has left (#13546)Dirk Klimpel4-6/+99
2022-08-30Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill (#13575)Eric Eastwood5-70/+89
Optimize how we calculate `likely_domains` during backfill because I've seen this take 17s in production just to `get_current_state` which is used to `get_domains_from_state` (see case [*2. Loading tons of events* in the `/messages` investigation issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356)). There are 3 ways we currently calculate hosts that are in the room: 1. `get_current_state` -> `get_domains_from_state` - Used in `backfill` to calculate `likely_domains` and `/timestamp_to_event` because it was cargo-culted from `backfill` - This one is being eliminated in favor of `get_current_hosts_in_room` in this PR 🕳 1. `get_current_hosts_in_room` - Used for other federation things like sending read receipts and typing indicators 1. `get_hosts_in_room_at_events` - Used when pushing out events over federation to other servers in the `_process_event_queue_loop` Fix https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13626 Part of https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/13356 Mentioned in [internal doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lvUoVfYUiy6UaHB6Rb4HicjaJAU40-APue9Q4vzuW3c/edit#bookmark=id.2tvwz3yhcafh) ### Query performance #### Before The query from `get_current_state` sucks just because we have to get all 80k events. And we see almost the exact same performance locally trying to get all of these events (16s vs 17s): ``` synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'; Time: 16035.612 ms (00:16.036) synapse=# SELECT type, state_key, event_id FROM current_state_events WHERE room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'; Time: 4243.237 ms (00:04.243) ``` But what about `get_current_hosts_in_room`: When there is 8M rows in the `current_state_events` table, the previous query in `get_current_hosts_in_room` took 13s from complete freshness (when the events were first added). But takes 930ms after a Postgres restart or 390ms if running back to back to back. ```sh $ psql synapse synapse=# \timing on synapse=# SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT substring(state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$')) FROM current_state_events WHERE type = 'm.room.member' AND membership = 'join' AND room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'; count ------- 4130 (1 row) Time: 13181.598 ms (00:13.182) synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events where room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org'; count ------- 80814 synapse=# SELECT COUNT(*) from current_state_events; count --------- 8162847 synapse=# SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_total_relation_size('current_state_events') ); pg_size_pretty ---------------- 4702 MB ``` #### After I'm not sure how long it takes from complete freshness as I only really get that opportunity once (maybe restarting computer but that's cumbersome) and it's not really relevant to normal operating times. Maybe you get closer to the fresh times the more access variability there is so that Postgres caches aren't as exact. Update: The longest I've seen this run for is 6.4s and 4.5s after a computer restart. After a Postgres restart, it takes 330ms and running back to back takes 260ms. ```sh $ psql synapse synapse=# \timing on Timing is on. synapse=# SELECT substring(c.state_key FROM '@[^:]*:(.*)$') as host FROM current_state_events c /* Get the depth of the event from the events table */ INNER JOIN events AS e USING (event_id) WHERE c.type = 'm.room.member' AND c.membership = 'join' AND c.room_id = '!OGEhHVWSdvArJzumhm:matrix.org' GROUP BY host ORDER BY min(e.depth) ASC; Time: 333.800 ms ``` #### Going further To improve things further we could add a `limit` parameter to `get_current_hosts_in_room`. Realistically, we don't need 4k domains to choose from because there is no way we're going to query that many before we a) probably get an answer or b) we give up. Another thing we can do is optimize the query to use a index skip scan: - https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Loose_indexscan - Index Skip Scan, https://commitfest.postgresql.org/37/1741/ - https://www.timescale.com/blog/how-we-made-distinct-queries-up-to-8000x-faster-on-postgresql/

If things like the signing key file are missing, let's just try to generate them on startup. Again, this is useful for k8s-like deployments where we just want to generate keys on the first run.

2022-08-24When loading current ids, sort by `stream_id` to avoid incorrect overwrite ↵Eric Eastwood2-2/+12
and avoid errors caused by sorting alphabetical instance name which can be `null` (#13585) When loading current ids, sort by stream ID so that we don't want to overwrite the `current_position` of an instance to a lower stream ID than we're actually at ([discussion](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/13585#discussion_r951795379)). Previously, it sorted alphabetically by instance name which can be `null` and throw errors but more importantly, accomplishes nothing. Fixes the following startup error which is why I started looking into this area: ``` $ poetry run synapse_homeserver --config-path homeserver.yaml **************************************************************** Error during initialisation: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str' There may be more information in the logs. **************************************************************** ``` Somehow my database ended up looking like the following, notice the `instance_name` is `null` in the db, and we can't sort `NoneType` things. Another question is why do we see the `instance_name` as `null` sometimes instead of `master` in monolith mode? ``` $ psql synapse synapse=# SELECT * FROM stream_positions; stream_name | instance_name | stream_id -----------------+---------------+----------- account_data | master | 1242 events | master | 1787 to_device | master
