Synapse 0.33.1 (2018-08-02)
===========================
SECURITY FIXES
--------------
- Fix a potential issue where servers could request events for rooms they have not joined. (`#3641 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3641>`_)
- Fix a potential issue where users could see events in private rooms before they joined. (`#3642 <https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3642>`_)
Make sure that the user has permission to view the requeseted event for
/event/{eventId} and /room/{roomId}/event/{eventId} requests.
Also check that the event is in the given room for
/room/{roomId}/event/{eventId}, for sanity.
When we get a federation request which refers to an event id, make sure that
said event is in the room the caller claims it is in.
(patch supplied by @turt2live)
This code brings the SimpleHttpClient into line with the
MatrixFederationHttpClient by having it raise HttpResponseExceptions when a
request fails (rather than trying to parse for matrix errors and maybe raising
MatrixCodeMessageException).
Then, whenever we were checking for MatrixCodeMessageException and turning them
into SynapseErrors, we now need to check for HttpResponseExceptions and call
to_synapse_error.
This commit replaces SynapseError.from_http_response_exception with
HttpResponseException.to_synapse_error.
The new method actually returns a ProxiedRequestError, which allows us to pass
through additional metadata from the API call.
We really shouldn't be sending all CodeMessageExceptions back over the C-S API;
it will include things like 401s which we shouldn't proxy.
That means that we need to explicitly turn a few HttpResponseExceptions into
SynapseErrors in the federation layer.
The effect of the latter is that the matrix errcode will get passed through
correctly to calling clients, which might help with some of the random
M_UNKNOWN errors when trying to join rooms.
secrets got introduced in python 3.6 so this class is not available

* attempt at deduplicating lazy-loaded members
as per the proposal; we can deduplicate redundant lazy-loaded members
which are sent in the same sync sequence. we do this heuristically
rather than requiring the client to somehow tell us which members it
has chosen to cache, by instead caching the last N members sent to
a client, and not sending them again. For now we hardcode N to 100.
Each cache for a given (user,device) tuple is in turn cached for up to
X minutes (to avoid the caches building up). For now we hardcode X to 30.
* add include_redundant_members filter option & make it work
* remove stale todo
* add tests for _get_some_state_from_cache
* incorporate review
This field is no longer read from, so we should stop populating it. Once we're
happy that this doesn't break everything, and a rollback is unlikely, we can
think about dropping the column.
We've long passed the point where it's possible to have the same event_id in
different tables, so these join conditions are redundant: we can just join on
event_id.
event_edges is of non-trivial size, and the room_id column is wasteful, so
let's stop reading from it. In future, we can stop writing to it, and then drop
it.
(since it uses methods therein)
Turns out that we had a bunch of things which were incorrectly importing
EventWorkerStore from events.py rather than events_worker.py, which broke once
I removed the import into events.py.
It turns out that looping_call does check the deferred returned by its
callback, and (at least in the case of client_ips), we were relying on this,
and I broke it in #3604.
Update run_as_background_process to return the deferred, and make sure we
return it to clock.looping_call.
This fixes a bug in _delete_existing_rows_txn which was introduced in #3435
(though it's been on matrix-org-hotfixes for *years*). This code is only called
when there is some sort of conflict the first time we try to persist an event,
so it only happens rarely. Still, the exceptions are annoying.
We need to run the errback in the sentinel context to avoid losing our own
context.
Also: add logging to runInteraction to help identify where "Starting db
connection from sentinel context" warnings are coming from
_update_remote_profile_cache was missing its `defer.inlineCallbacks`, so when
it was called, would just return a generator object, without actually running
any of the method body.
on_notifier_poke no longer runs synchonously, so we have to do a different hack
to make sure that the replication data has been sent. Let's actually listen for
its arrival.
We incorrectly asserted that all contexts must have a non None state
group without consider outliers. This would usually be fine as the
assertion would never be hit, as there is a shortcut during persistence
if the forward extremities don't change.
However, if the outlier is being persisted with non-outlier events, the
function would be called and the assertion would be hit.
Fixes#3601
This allows us to handle /context/ requests on the client_reader worker
without having to pull in all the various stream handlers (e.g.
precence, typing, pushers etc). The only thing the token gets used for
is pagination, and that ignores everything but the room portion of the
token.
First of all, fix the logic which looks for identical input state groups so
that we actually use them. This turned out to be most easily done by factoring
the relevant code out to a separate function so that we could do an early
return.
Secondly, avoid building the whole `conflicted_state` dict (which was only ever
used as a boolean flag).
Thirdly, replace the construction of the `state` dict (which mapped from keys
to events that set them), with an optimistic construction of the resolution
result assuming there will be no conflicts. This should be no slower than
building the old `state` dict, and:
- in the conflicted case, we'll short-cut it, saving part of the work
- in the unconflicted case, it saves rebuilding the resolution from the
`state` dict.
Finally, do a couple of s/values/itervalues/.
We don't want to bother pulling out the current state from the DB since
until we know we have to. Checking the context for state is just an
optimisation.
This is more involved than it might otherwise be, because the current
implementation just drops its logcontexts and runs everything in the sentinel
context.
It turns out that we aren't actually using a bunch of the functionality here
(notably suppress_failures and the fact that Distributor.fire returns a
deferred), so the easiest way to fix this is actually by simplifying a bunch of
code.
This fixes#3518, and ensures that we get useful logs and metrics for lots of
things that happen in the background.
(There are certainly more things that happen in the background; these are just
the common ones I've found running a single-process synapse locally).
This introduces a mechanism for tracking resource usage by background
processes, along with an example of how it will be used.
This will help address #3518, but more importantly will give us better insights
into things which are happening but not being shown up by the request metrics.
We *could* do this with Measure blocks, but:
- I think having them pulled out as a completely separate metric class will
make it easier to distinguish top-level processes from those which are
nested.
- I want to be able to report on in-flight background processes, and I don't
think we want to do this for *all* Measure blocks.
The get_entities_changed function was changed to return all changed
entities since the given stream position, rather than only those changed
from a given list of entities. This resulted in the function incorrectly
returning large numbers of entities that, for example, caused large
increases in database usage.
parse_integer and parse_string can take a request and raise errors
in case we have wrong or missing params.
This PR tries to use them more to deduplicate some code and make it
better readable
The stream cache keeps track of all entities that have changed since
a particular stream position, so get_entities_changed does not need to
return unknown entites when given a larger stream position.
This makes it consistent with the behaviour of has_entity_changed.
This line shows up as about 5% of cpu time on a synchrotron:
not_known_entities = set(entities) - set(self._entity_to_key)
Presumably the problem here is that _entity_to_key can be largeish, and
building a set for its keys every time this function is called is slow.
Here we rewrite the logic to avoid building so many sets.
Previously we queued up the poke correctly when the device was deleted,
but then the actual EDU wouldn't get sent, as the device was no longer known.
Instead, we now send EDUs for deleted devices too if there's a poke for them.
This default config is parsed and used a base before the actual
config is overlaid, so with these values not commented out, the
code to detect when no turn params were set and refuse to generate
credentials was never firing because the dummy default was always set.
We need to do a bit more validation when we get a server name, but don't want
to be re-doing it all over the shop, so factor out a separate
parse_and_validate_server_name, and do the extra validation.
Also, use it to verify the server name in the config file.
Make sure that server_names used in auth headers are sane, and reject them with
a sensible error code, before they disappear off into the depths of the system.
otherwise we explode with:

Most rooms have a trivial history visibility like "shared" or
"world_readable", especially large rooms, so lets not bother getting the
full membership of those rooms in that case.
When _get_state_for_groups is given a wildcard filter, just do a complete
lookup. Hopefully this will give us the best of both worlds by not filling up
the ram if we only need one or two keys, but also making the cache still work
for the federation reader usecase.
When we finish processing a request, log the number of events we fetched from
the database to handle it.
[I'm trying to figure out which requests are responsible for large amounts of
event cache churn. It may turn out to be more helpful to add counts to the
prometheus per-request/block metrics, but that is an extension to this code
anyway.]

The pagination storage function supported not specifiying a limit on the
number of events returned. This was triggered when using the search or
context API with a limit of zero, which the storage function took to
mean not being limited.
The transaction cache has some code which tries to stop it caching failures,
but if the callback function failed straight away, then things would happen
backwards and we'd end up with the failure stuck in the cache.
There's a frequent idiom I noticed where an iterable is split up into a
number of chunks/batches. Unfortunately that method does not work with
iterators like dict.keys() in python3. This implementation works with
iterators.

Server Notices use a special room which the user can't dismiss. They are
created on demand when some other bit of the code calls send_notice.

way we traverse topologically without having to update the way push
actions work.
(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
