def cancellable(function: F) -> F:
"""Marks a function as cancellable.
Servlet methods with this decorator will be cancelled if the client disconnects before we
finish processing the request.
Although this annotation is particularly useful for servlet methods, it's also
useful for intermediate functions, where it documents the fact that the function has
been audited for cancellation safety and needs to preserve that.
This then simplifies auditing new functions that call those same intermediate
functions.
During cancellation, `Deferred.cancel()` will be invoked on the `Deferred` wrapping
the method. The `cancel()` call will propagate down to the `Deferred` that is
currently being waited on. That `Deferred` will raise a `CancelledError`, which will
propagate up, as per normal exception handling.
Before applying this decorator to a new function, you MUST recursively check
that all `await`s in the function are on `async` functions or `Deferred`s that
handle cancellation cleanly, otherwise a variety of bugs may occur, ranging from
premature logging context closure, to stuck requests, to database corruption.
See the documentation page on Cancellation for more information.
Usage:
class SomeServlet(RestServlet):
@cancellable
async def on_GET(self, request: SynapseRequest) -> ...:
...
