The idea here is to set the parent span for incoming federation requests to the
*outgoing* span on the other end. That means that you can see (most of) the
full end-to-end flow when you have a process that includes federation requests.
However, in order not to lose information, we still want a link to the
`incoming-federation-request` span from the servlet, so we have to create
another span to do exactly that.
* Fix losing incoming EDUs if debug logging enabled
Fixes#11889. Homeservers should only be affected if the
`synapse.8631_debug` logger was enabled for DEBUG mode.
I am not sure if this merits a bugfix release: I think the logging can
be disabled in config if anyone is affected? But it is still pretty bad.
Debug for #8631.
I'm having a hard time tracking down what's going wrong in that issue.
In the reported example, I could see server A sending federation traffic
to server B and all was well. Yet B reports out-of-sync device updates
from A.
I couldn't see what was _in_ the events being sent from A to B. So I
have added some crude logging to track
- when we have updates to send to a remote HS
- the edus we actually accumulate to send
- when a federation transaction includes a device list update edu
- when such an EDU is received
This is a bit of a sledgehammer.
I've never found this terribly useful. I think it was added in the early days
of Synapse, without much thought as to what would actually be useful to log,
and has just been cargo-culted ever since.
Rather, it tends to clutter up debug logs with useless information.
* `_auth_and_persist_outliers`: mark persisted events as outliers
Mark any events that get persisted via `_auth_and_persist_outliers` as, well,
outliers.
Currently this will be a no-op as everything will already be flagged as an
outlier, but I'm going to change that.
* `process_remote_join`: stop flagging as outlier
The events are now flagged as outliers later on, by `_auth_and_persist_outliers`.
* `send_join`: remove `outlier=True`
The events created here are returned in the result of `send_join` to
`FederationHandler.do_invite_join`. From there they are passed into
`FederationEventHandler.process_remote_join`, which passes them to
`_auth_and_persist_outliers`... which sets the `outlier` flag.
* `get_event_auth`: remove `outlier=True`
stop flagging the events returned by `get_event_auth` as outliers. This method
is only called by `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`, which passes the results
into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will flag them as outliers.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove `outlier=True`
we pass all the events into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`, which will now flag
the events as outliers.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
This param is now never set to True, so we can remove it.
* `_check_sigs_and_hash_and_fetch_one`: remove unused `outlier` param
This is no longer set anywhere, so we can remove it.
* `get_pdu`: remove unused `outlier` parameter
... and chase it down into `get_pdu_from_destination_raw`.
* `event_from_pdu_json`: remove redundant `outlier` param
This is never set to `True`, so can be removed.
* changelog
* update docstring
Events returned by `backfill` should not be flagged as outliers.

* remove `start_active_span_from_request`
Instead, pull out a separate function, `span_context_from_request`, to extract
the parent span, which we can then pass into `start_active_span` as
normal. This seems to be clearer all round.
* Remove redundant tags from `incoming-federation-request`
These are all wrapped up inside a parent span generated in AsyncResource, so
there's no point duplicating all the tags that are set there.
* Leave request spans open until the request completes
It may take some time for the response to be encoded into JSON, and that JSON
to be streamed back to the client, and really we want that inside the top-level
span, so let's hand responsibility for closure to the SynapseRequest.

* Make lock better handle process being killed
If the process gets killed and restarted (so that it didn't have a
chance to drop its locks gracefully) then there may still be locks in
the DB that are for the same instance that haven't yet timed out but are
safe to delete.
We handle this case by a) checking if the current instance already has
taken out the lock, and b) if not then ignoring locks that are for the
same instance.
* Periodically check for old staged events
This is to protect against other instances dying and their locks timing
out.
This fixes a "Event not signed by authorising server" error when
transition room member from join -> join, e.g. when updating a
display name or avatar URL for restricted rooms.
* Factor more stuff out of `_get_events_and_persist`
It turns out that the event-sorting algorithm in `_get_events_and_persist` is
also useful in other circumstances. Here we move the current
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events_inner`,
and then factor the sorting part out to `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: remove redundant `outlier` assignment
`get_event_auth` returns events with the outlier flag already set, so this is
redundant (though we need to update a test where `get_event_auth` is mocked).
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: move existing-event tests earlier
Move a couple of tests outside the loop. This is a bit inefficient for now, but
a future commit will make it better. It should be functionally identical.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`
We can use the same codepath for persisting the events fetched as part of an
auth chain as for those fetched individually by `_get_events_and_persist` for
building the state at a backwards extremity.
* `_get_remote_auth_chain_for_event`: use a dict for efficiency
`_auth_and_persist_fetched_events` sorts the events itself, so we no longer
need to care about maintaining the ordering from `get_event_auth` (and no
longer need to sort by depth in `get_event_auth`).
That means that we can use a map, making it easier to filter out events we
already have, etc.
* changelog
* `_auth_and_persist_fetched_events`: improve docstring
Here we split on_receive_pdu into two functions (on_receive_pdu and process_pulled_event), rather than having both cases in the same method. There's a tiny bit of overlap, but not that much.
If the new /hierarchy API does not exist on all destinations,
fallback to querying the /spaces API and translating the results.
This is a backwards compatibility hack since not all of the
federated homeservers will update at the same time.
* Include outlier status in `str(event)`
In places where we log event objects, knowing whether or not you're dealing
with an outlier is super useful.
* Remove duplicated logging in get_missing_events
When we process events received from get_missing_events, we log them twice
(once in `_get_missing_events_for_pdu`, and once in `on_receive_pdu`). Reduce
the duplication by removing the logging in `on_receive_pdu`, and ensuring the
call sites do sensible logging.
* log in `on_receive_pdu` when we already have the event
* Log which prev_events we are missing
* changelog
Instead of wrapping the JSON into an object, this creates concrete
instances for Transaction and Edu. This allows for improved type
hints and simplified code.
