""" Thread-local-alike tracking of log contexts within synapse

This module provides objects and utilities for tracking contexts through
synapse code, so that log lines can include a request identifier, and so that
CPU and database activity can be accounted for against the request that caused
them.

See doc/log_contexts.rst for details on how this works.

    Args:
        reactor (twisted.internet.base.ReactorBase): The reactor in whose main thread
            the Deferred will be invoked. Normally this will be hs.get_reactor().

        threadpool (twisted.python.threadpool.ThreadPool): The threadpool to use for
            running `f`. Normally this will be hs.get_reactor().getThreadPool().

        f (callable): The function to call.

        args: positional arguments to pass to f.

        kwargs: keyword arguments to pass to f.

    Returns:
        Deferred: A Deferred which fires a callback with the result of `f`, or an
            errback if `f` throws an exception.
