|
||
|
<p>Sometimes, requests take a long time to service and clients disconnect
|
||
|
before Synapse produces a response. To avoid wasting resources, Synapse
|
||
|
can cancel request processing for select endpoints marked with the
|
||
|
<code>@cancellable</code> decorator.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Synapse makes use of Twisted's <code>Deferred.cancel()</code> feature to make
|
||
|
cancellation work. The <code>@cancellable</code> decorator does nothing by itself
|
||
|
and merely acts as a flag, signalling to developers and other code alike
|
||
|
that a method can be cancelled.</p>
|
||
|
<h2 id="enabling-cancellation-for-an-endpoint"><a class="header" href="#enabling-cancellation-for-an-endpoint">Enabling cancellation for an endpoint</a></h2>
|
||
|
<ol>
|
||
|
<li>Check that the endpoint method, and any <code>async</code> functions in its call
|
||
|
tree handle cancellation correctly. See
|
||
|
<a href="#handling-cancellation-correctly">Handling cancellation correctly</a>
|
||
|
for a list of things to look out for.</li>
|
||
|
<li>Add the <code>@cancellable</code> decorator to the <code>on_GET/POST/PUT/DELETE</code>
|
||
|
method. It's not recommended to make non-<code>GET</code> methods cancellable,
|
||
|
since cancellation midway through some database updates is less
|
||
|
likely to be handled correctly.</li>
|
||
|
</ol>
|
||
|
<h2 id="mechanics"><a class="header" href="#mechanics">Mechanics</a></h2>
|
||
|
<p>There are two stages to cancellation: downward propagation of a
|
||
|
<code>cancel()</code> call, followed by upwards propagation of a <code>CancelledError</code>
|
||
|
out of a blocked <code>await</code>.
|
||
|
Both Twisted and asyncio have a cancellation mechanism.</p>

<h3 id="deferredcancel"><a class="header" href="#deferredcancel">Deferred.cancel()</a></h3>
|
||
|
<p>When Synapse starts handling a request, it runs the async method
|
||
|
responsible for handling it using <code>defer.ensureDeferred</code>, which returns
|
||
|
a <code>Deferred</code>. For example:</p>
|
||
|
<pre><code class="language-python">def do_something() -> Deferred[None]:
|
||
|
...
|
||
|
|
||
|
@cancellable
|
||
|
async def on_GET() -> Tuple[int, JsonDict]:
|
||
|
d = make_deferred_yieldable(do_something())
|
||
|
await d
|
||
|
return 200, {}
|
||
|
|
||
|
request = defer.ensureDeferred(on_GET())
|
||
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
<p>When a client disconnects early, Synapse checks for the presence of the
|
||
|
<code>@cancellable</code> decorator on <code>on_GET</code>. Since <code>on_GET</code> is cancellable,
|
||
|
<code>Deferred.cancel()</code> is called on the <code>Deferred</code> from
|
||
|
<code>defer.ensureDeferred</code>, ie. <code>request</code>. Twisted knows which <code>Deferred</code>
|
||
|
<code>request</code> is waiting on and passes the <code>cancel()</code> call on to <code>d</code>.</p>
|
||
|
<p>The <code>Deferred</code> being waited on, <code>d</code>, may have its own handling for
|
||
|
<code>cancel()</code> and pass the call on to other <code>Deferred</code>s.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Eventually, a <code>Deferred</code> handles the <code>cancel()</code> call by resolving itself
|
||
|
with a <code>CancelledError</code>.</p>
|
||
|
<h3 id="cancellederror"><a class="header" href="#cancellederror">CancelledError</a></h3>
|
||
|
<p>The <code>CancelledError</code> gets raised out of the <code>await</code> and bubbles up, as
|
||
|
per normal Python exception handling.</p>
|
||
|
<h2 id="handling-cancellation-correctly"><a class="header" href="#handling-cancellation-correctly">Handling cancellation correctly</a></h2>
|
||
|
<p>In general, when writing code that might be subject to cancellation, two
|
||
|
things must be considered:</p>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>The effect of <code>CancelledError</code>s raised out of <code>await</code>s.</li>
|
||
|
<li>The effect of <code>Deferred</code>s being <code>cancel()</code>ed.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
<p>Examples of code that handles cancellation incorrectly include:</p>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li><code>try-except</code> blocks which swallow <code>CancelledError</code>s.</li>
|
||
|
<li>Code that shares the same <code>Deferred</code>, which may be cancelled, between
|
||
|
multiple requests.</li>
|
||
|
<li>Code that starts some processing that's exempt from cancellation, but
|
||
|
uses a logging context from cancellable code. The logging context
|
||
|
will be finished upon cancellation, while the uncancelled processing
|
||
|
is still using it.</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
<p>Some common patterns are listed below in more detail.</p>
|
||
|
<h3 id="async-function-calls"><a class="header" href="#async-function-calls"><code>async</code> function calls</a></h3>
|
||
|
<p>Most functions in Synapse are relatively straightforward from a
|
||
|
cancellation standpoint: they don't do anything with <code>Deferred</code>s and
|
||
|
purely call and <code>await</code> other <code>async</code> functions.</p>
|
||
|
<p>An <code>async</code> function handles cancellation correctly if its own code
|
||
|
handles cancellation correctly and all the async function it calls
|
||
|
handle cancellation correctly. For example:</p>
|
||
|
<pre><code class="language-python">async def do_two_things() -> None:
|
||
|
check_something()
|
||
|
await do_something()
|
||
|
await do_something_else()
|
||
|
</code></pre>
|
||
|
<p><code>do_two_things</code> handles cancellation correctly if <code>do_something</code> and
|
||
|
<code>do_something_else</code> handle cancellation correctly.</p>
|
||
|
<p>That is, when checking whether a function handles cancellation
|
||
|
correctly, its implementation and all its <code>async</code> function calls need to
|
||
|
be checked, recursively.</p>
|
||
|
<p>As <code>check_something</code> is not <code>async</code>, it does not need to be checked.</p>
|
||
|
<h3 id="cancellederrors"><a class="header" href="#cancellederrors">CancelledErrors</a></h3>
|
||
|
<p>Because Twisted's <code>CancelledError</code>s are <code>Exception</code>s, it's easy to
|
||
|
accidentally catch and suppress them. Care must be taken to ensure that
|
||
|
<code>CancelledError</code>s are allowed to propagate upwards.</p>
