This means you can use `get_success(...)` anywhere regardless
of what kind of work needs to be done.
Spawning from adding some more async Rust things in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19846 and wanting something
more standard instead of the custom `till_deferred_has_result(...)` that
has crept in to a few files.
Alternative to https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19867 spurred
on by [this
comment](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19867#discussion_r3441774685)
from @erikjohnston
### How does this work?
Previously, `get_success(...)` just ran in a hot-loop advancing the
Twisted reactor clock which didn't give any time for other threads to do
some work or acquire the GIL if necessary (whenever there is a hand-off
from Rust to Python, we need the GIL).
Now, `get_success(...)` loops until we see a result (until we hit the
~0.1s real-time timeout). In the loop, we call
[`time.sleep(0)`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.sleep)
which will "Suspend execution of the calling thread [...]" (CPU and GIL)
to allow other threads to do some work. Then like before, we advance the
Twisted reactor clock to run any scheduled callbacks which includes
anything the other threads may have scheduled.
### Does this slow down the entire test suite?
Seems just as fast as before. There is minutes variance in what we had
before and after but both are within the same range of each other.
(see PR for actual before/after timings)
I.e. `default_config("test")` and `default_config("test", False)` are so
opaque and hard to connect the dots with.
Spawning from trying to figure out what the `server_name` is set as for
our `HomeserverTestCase` in order to reference it in
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/pull/19848#discussion_r3397455309
Introduce `Clock.call_when_running(...)` to wrap startup code in a
logcontext, ensuring we can identify which server generated the logs.
Background:
> Ideally, nothing from the Synapse homeserver would be logged against the `sentinel`
> logcontext as we want to know which server the logs came from. In practice, this is not
> always the case yet especially outside of request handling.
>
> Global things outside of Synapse (e.g. Twisted reactor code) should run in the
> `sentinel` logcontext. It's only when it calls into application code that a logcontext
> gets activated. This means the reactor should be started in the `sentinel` logcontext,
> and any time an awaitable yields control back to the reactor, it should reset the
> logcontext to be the `sentinel` logcontext. This is important to avoid leaking the
> current logcontext to the reactor (which would then get picked up and associated with
> the next thing the reactor does).

Also adds a lint to prefer `Clock.call_when_running(...)` over
`reactor.callWhenRunning(...)`

This PR makes a few radical changes to media. This now stores the SHA256
hash of each file stored in the database (excluding thumbnails, more on
that later). If a set of media is quarantined, any additional uploads of
the same file contents or any other files with the same hash will be
quarantined at the same time.
Currently this does NOT:
- De-duplicate media, although a future extension could be to do that.
- Run any background jobs to identify the hashes of older files. This
could also be a future extension, though the value of doing so is
limited to combat the abuse of recent media.
- Hash thumbnails. It's assumed that thumbnails are parented to some
form of media, so you'd likely be wanting to quarantine the media and
the thumbnail at the same time.
I thought ruff check would also format, but it doesn't.
This runs ruff format in CI and dev scripts. The first commit is just a
run of `ruff format .` in the root directory.
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`.
During the migration the automated script to update the copyright
headers accidentally got rid of some of the existing copyright lines.
Reinstate them.
Implement MSC3860 to follow redirects for federated media downloads.
Note that the Client-Server API doesn't support this (yet) since the media
repository in Synapse doesn't have a way of supporting redirects.
This converts the media servlet URLs in the same way as
(most) of the rest of Synapse. This will give more flexibility
in the versions each endpoint exists under.
* Removes the `v1` directory from `test.rest.media.v1`.
* Moves the non-REST code from `synapse.rest.media.v1` to `synapse.media`.
* Flatten the `v1` directory from `synapse.rest.media`, but leave compatiblity
with 3rd party media repositories and spam checkers.
