From 8181e290a90bc7b7f950fb639b38d0212dca87da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2019 11:10:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix sync tightloop bug. If, for some reason, presence updates take a while to persist then it can trigger clients to tightloop calling `/sync` due to the presence handler returning updates but not advancing the stream token. Fixes #5503. --- synapse/handlers/presence.py | 14 ++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/synapse/handlers/presence.py b/synapse/handlers/presence.py index 5204073a38..3edd359985 100644 --- a/synapse/handlers/presence.py +++ b/synapse/handlers/presence.py @@ -1017,11 +1017,21 @@ class PresenceEventSource(object): if from_key is not None: from_key = int(from_key) + max_token = self.store.get_current_presence_token() + if from_key == max_token: + # This is necessary as due to the way stream ID generators work + # we may get updates that have a stream ID greater than the max + # token.
