Pre-populate room data for quick filtering/sorting in the Sliding Sync
API
Spawning from
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17450#discussion_r1697335578
This PR is acting as the Synapse version `N+1` step in the gradual
migration being tracked by
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17623
Adding two new database tables:
- `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`: A table for storing room meta data that
the local server is still participating in. The info here can be shared
across all `Membership.JOIN`. Keyed on `(room_id)` and updated when the
relevant room current state changes or a new event is sent in the room.
- `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`: A table for storing a snapshot of
room meta data at the time of the local user's membership. Keyed on
`(room_id, user_id)` and only updated when a user's membership in a room
changes.
Also adds background updates to populate these tables with all of the
existing data.
We want to have the guarantee that if a row exists in the sliding sync
tables, we are able to rely on it (accurate data). And if a row doesn't
exist, we use a fallback to get the same info until the background
updates fill in the rows or a new event comes in triggering it to be
fully inserted. This means we need a couple extra things in place until
we bump `SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` and run the foreground update in the
`N+2` part of the gradual migration. For context on why we can't rely on
the tables without these things see [1].
1. On start-up, block until we clear out any rows for the rooms that
have had events since the max-`stream_ordering` of the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table (compare to max-`stream_ordering` of
the `events` table). For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we can
compare to the max-`stream_ordering` of `local_current_membership`
- This accounts for when someone downgrades their Synapse version and
then upgrades it again. This will ensure that we don't have any
stale/out-of-date data in the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms`/`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots` tables
since any new events sent in rooms would have also needed to be written
to the sliding sync tables. For example a new event needs to bump
`event_stream_ordering` in `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` table or some
state in the room changing (like the room name). Or another example of
someone's membership changing in a room affecting
`sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`.
1. Add another background update that will catch-up with any rows that
were just deleted from the sliding sync tables (based on the activity in
the `events`/`local_current_membership`). The rooms that need
recalculating are added to the
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms_to_recalculate` table.
1. Making sure rows are fully inserted. Instead of partially inserting,
we need to check if the row already exists and fully insert all data if
not.
All of this extra functionality can be removed once the
`SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` is bumped with support for the new sliding sync
tables so people can no longer downgrade (the `N+2` part of the gradual
migration).
<details>
<summary><sup>[1]</sup></summary>
For `sliding_sync_joined_rooms`, since we partially insert rows as state
comes in, we can't rely on the existence of the row for a given
`room_id`. We can't even rely on looking at whether the background
update has finished. There could still be partial rows from when someone
reverted their Synapse version after the background update finished, had
some state changes (or new rooms), then upgraded again and more state
changes happen leaving a partial row.
For `sliding_sync_membership_snapshots`, we insert items as a whole
except for the `forgotten` column ~~so we can rely on rows existing and
just need to always use a fallback for the `forgotten` data. We can't
use the `forgotten` column in the table for the same reasons above about
`sliding_sync_joined_rooms`.~~ We could have an out-of-date membership
from when someone reverted their Synapse version. (same problems as
outlined for `sliding_sync_joined_rooms` above)

### TODO
- [x] Update `stream_ordering`/`bump_stamp`
- [x] Handle remote invites
- [x] Handle state resets
- [x] Consider adding `sender` so we can filter `LEAVE` memberships and
distinguish from kicks.
- [x] We should add it to be able to tell leaves from kicks
- [x] Consider adding `tombstone` state to help address
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17540
- [x] We should add it `tombstone_successor_room_id`
- [x] Consider adding `forgotten` status to avoid extra
lookup/table-join on `room_memberships`
- [x] We should add it
- [x] Background update to fill in values for all joined rooms and
non-join membership
- [x] Clean-up tables when room is deleted
- [ ] Make sure tables are useful to our use case
- First explored in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/compare/erikj/ss_use_new_tables
- Also explored in
76b5a576eb
- [x] Plan for how can we use this with a fallback
- See plan discussed above in main area of the issue description
- Discussed in an [internal
meeting](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MnuvPkaCkT_wviSQZ6YKBjiWciCBFMd-7hxyCO-OCbQ/edit#bookmark=id.dz5x6ef4mxz7)
- [x] Plan for how we can rely on this new table without a fallback
- Synapse version `N+1`: (this PR) Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION` to `87`. Add
new tables and background update to backfill all rows. Since this is a
new table, we don't have to add any `NOT VALID` constraints and validate
them when the background update completes. Read from new tables with a
fallback in cases where the rows aren't filled in yet.
- Synapse version `N+2`: Bump `SCHEMA_VERSION` to `88` and bump
`SCHEMA_COMPAT_VERSION` to `87` because we don't want people to
downgrade and miss writes while they are on an older version. Add a
foreground update to finish off the backfill so we can read from new
tables without the fallback. Application code can now rely on the new
tables being populated.

When returning receipts in sliding sync for initial rooms we should
always include our own receipts in the room (even if they don't match
any timeline events).

Move calculating of the room lists out of the core handler. This should
make it easier to switch things around to start using the tables in
#17512.
This is just moving code between files and methods.
Reviewable commit-by-commit
This supersedes #17503, given the per-connection state is being heavily
rewritten it felt easier to recreate the PR on top of that work.
This correctly handles the case of timeline limits going up and down.
This does not handle changes in `required_state`, but that can be done
as a separate PR.
Based on #17575.

Previously, we just had very basic partial room exclusion based on
whether we were lazy-loading room members. Now with this PR, we added
`must_await_full_state(...)` with rules to check if we have a we're only
requesting `required_state` which is completely satisfied even with
partial state.
Partially-stated rooms should have all state events except for remote
membership events so if we require a remote membership event anywhere,
then we need to return `True`.
This triggers the client to start a new sliding sync connection. If we
don't do this and the client asks for the full range of rooms, we end up
sending down all rooms and their state from scratch (which can be very
slow)
This causes things like
https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-ios/issues/3115 after we restart
the server

Update `filters.is_encrypted` and `filters.types`/`filters.not_types` to
be robust when dealing with remote invite rooms in Sliding Sync.
Part of
[MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575):
Sliding Sync
Follow-up to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17434
We now take into account current state, fallback to stripped state
for invite/knock rooms, then historical state. If we can't determine
the info needed to filter a room (either from state or stripped state),
it is filtered out.
Rather than always including all rooms in range.
Also adds a pre-filter to rooms that checks the stream change cache to
see if anything might have happened.
Based on #17447
---------

The basic idea is that we introduce a new token for a sliding sync
connection, which stores the mapping of room to room "status" (i.e. have
we sent the room down?). This token allows us to handle duplicate
requests properly. In future it can be used to store more
"per-connection" information safely.
In future this should be migrated into the DB, so its important that we
try to reduce the number of syncs where we need to update the
per-connection information. In this PoC this only happens when we: a)
send down a set of room for the first time, or b) we have previously
sent down a room and there are updates but we are not sending the room
down the sync (due to not falling in a list range)

Backfill events have a negative stream ordering, and so its not useful
to use to compare with other (positive) stream orderings.
Plus, the Rust SDK currently assumes `bump_stamp` is positive.
As it gets used in sliding sync.
We basically invalidate it in all the same places as
`get_rooms_for_user`. Most of the changes are due to needing the
arguments you pass in to be hashable (which lists aren't)
Prior to this PR, remote downloads which did not provide a
`content-length` were decremented from the remote download ratelimiter
at the max allowable size, leading to excessive ratelimiting - see
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17394.
This PR adds a linearizer to limit concurrent remote downloads to 6 per
IP address, and decrements remote downloads without a `content-length`
from the ratelimiter *after* the download is complete and the response
length is known.
Also adds logic to ensure that responses with a known length respect the
`max_download_size`.
Add room subscriptions to Sliding Sync `/sync`
Based on
[MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575):
Sliding Sync
Currently, you can only subscribe to rooms you have had *any* membership
in before.
In the future, we will allow `world_readable` rooms to be subscribed to
without joining.
We can only fetch room types for rooms the server is in, so we need to
only filter rooms that we're joined to.
Also includes a perf fix to bulk fetch room types.
We don't necessarily have `instance_name` for old events (before we
support multiple event persisters). We treat those as if the
`instance_name` was "master".
---------

`bump_stamp` corresponds to the `stream_ordering` of the latest `DEFAULT_BUMP_EVENT_TYPES` in the room. This helps clients sort more readily without them needing to pull in a bunch of the timeline to determine the last activity. `bump_event_types` is a thing because for example, we don't want display name changes to mark the room as unread and bump it to the top. For encrypted rooms, we just have to consider any activity as a bump because we can't see the content and the client has to figure it out for themselves.
Outside of Synapse, `bump_stamp` is just a free-form counter so other implementations could use `received_ts`or `origin_server_ts` (see the [*Security considerations* section in MSC3575 about the potential pitfalls of using `origin_server_ts`](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/sync-v3/proposals/3575-sync.md#security-considerations)). It doesn't have any guarantee about always going up. In the Synapse case, it could go down if an event was redacted/removed (or purged in cases of retention policies).
In the future, we could add `bump_event_types` as [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575) mentions if people need to customize the event types.

In the Sliding Sync proxy, a similar [`timestamp` field was added](https://github.com/matrix-org/sliding-sync/pull/247) for the same purpose but the name is not obvious what it pertains to or what it's for.
The `timestamp` field was also added to Ruma in https://github.com/ruma/ruma/pull/1622
Follows on from @H-Shay's great work at
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/15344 and MSC4026.
Also enables its use for MSC3881, mainly as an easy but concrete example
of how to use it.
This can help ensure that the rooms are eventually purged if the other
local users also forget them. Synapse already clears some of the room
information as part of the `_background_remove_left_rooms` background
task, but this doesn't catch `events`, `event_json`, etc.
Fixes https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/17274, hopefully.
Basically, old versions of Synapse could advance streams without
persisting anything in the DB (fixed in #17229). On restart those
updates would get lost, and so the position of the stream would revert
to an older position. If this happened across an upgrade to a later
Synapse version which included #17215, then sync could get blocked
indefinitely (until the stream advanced to the position in the token).
We fix this by bounding the stream positions we'll wait for to the
maximum position of the underlying stream ID generator.

This is #17291 (which got reverted), with some added fixups, and change
so that tests actually pick up the error.
The problem was that we were not calculating any new chain IDs due to a
missing `not` in a condition.
Reduce the replication traffic of device lists, by not sending every
destination that needs to be sent the device list update over
replication. Instead a "hosts to send to have been calculated"
notification over replication, and then federation senders read the
destinations from the DB.
For non federation senders this should heavily reduce the impact of a
user in many large rooms changing a device.
This reverts commit bdf82efea5 (#17291)
This seems to have stopped persisting auth chains for new events, and so
is causing state res to fall back to the slow methods
We calculate the auth chain links outside of the main persist event
transaction to ensure that we do not block other event sending during
the calculation.
Sort is no longer configurable and we always sort rooms by the `stream_ordering` of the last event in the room or the point where the user can see up to in cases of leave/ban/invite/knock.
Add `event.internal_metadata.instance_name` (the worker instance that persisted the event) to go alongside the existing `event.internal_metadata.stream_ordering`.
`instance_name` is useful to properly compare and query for events with a token since you need to compare both the `stream_ordering` and `instance_name` against the vector clock/`instance_map` in the `RoomStreamToken`.
This is pre-requisite work and may be used in https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17293
Adding `event.internal_metadata.instance_name` was first mentioned in the initial Sliding Sync PR while pairing with @erikjohnston, see 09609cb0db (diff-5cd773fb307aa754bd3948871ba118b1ef0303f4d72d42a2d21e38242bf4e096R405-R410)
PR where this was introduced: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/14817
### What does this affect?
`get_last_event_in_room_before_stream_ordering(...)` is used in Sync v2 in a lot of different state calculations.
`get_last_event_in_room_before_stream_ordering(...)` is also used in `/rooms/{roomId}/members`
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4151
This is intended to be enabled by default for immediate use. When FCP is
complete, the unstable endpoint will be dropped and stable endpoint
supported instead - no backwards compatibility is expected for the
unstable endpoint.
Spawning from https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17187#discussion_r1619492779 around wanting to put `SlidingSyncBody` (parse the request in the rest layer), `SlidingSyncConfig` (from the rest layer, pass to the handler), `SlidingSyncResponse` (pass the response from the handler back to the rest layer to respond) somewhere that doesn't contaminate the imports and cause circular import issues.
- Moved Pydantic parsing models to `synapse/types/rest`
- Moved handler types to `synapse/types/handlers`
Based on [MSC3575](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3575): Sliding Sync
This iteration only focuses on returning the list of room IDs in the sliding window API (without sorting/filtering).
Rooms appear in the Sliding sync response based on:
- `invite`, `join`, `knock`, `ban` membership events
- Kicks (`leave` membership events where `sender` is different from the `user_id`/`state_key`)
- `newly_left` (rooms that were left during the given token range, > `from_token` and <= `to_token`)
- In order for bans/kicks to not show up, you need to `/forget` those rooms. This doesn't modify the event itself though and only adds the `forgotten` flag to `room_memberships` in Synapse. There isn't a way to tell when a room was forgotten at the moment so we can't factor it into the from/to range.

Spawning from https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/17187 where we want to utilize this change
We try and deduplicate in two places: 1) really early on, and 2) just
before we persist the event. The first case was broken due to it
occuring before the profile information was added, and so it thought the
event contents were different.
The second case did catch it and handle it correctly, however doing so
creates a redundant state group leading to bloat.
Fixes#3791
There is a problem with `StreamIdGenerator` where it can go backwards
over restarts when a stream ID is requested but then not inserted into
the DB. This is problematic if we want to land #17215, and is generally
a potential cause for all sorts of nastiness.
Instead of trying to fix `StreamIdGenerator`, we may as well move to
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` that does not suffer from this problem (the
latest positions are stored in `stream_positions` table). This involves
adding SQLite support to the class.
This only changes id generators that were already using
`MultiWriterIdGenerator` under postgres, a separate PR will move the
rest of the uses of `StreamIdGenerator` over.
When a module rejects a piece of media we end up trying to close the
same logging context twice.
Instead of fixing the existing code we refactor to use an async context
manager, which is easier to write correctly.
