The previous logic over-wrote the requester with the old value if it
had been set to anything in the new request, which it never could have
been. This logic likely stems from confusion in the hasattr
introduced in `89394fc1ebee`.
Always copy the `requester_for_logs` from the first half of the
request.
1ea2f188ce mistakenly introduced a `_rate_limit` member of the
request, which was dutifully transcribed in 3f9a5e1e17. However,
`_rate_limit` was never read from, nor written to -- `_ratelimit` (with
no middle `_`) was the dict that contained rate-limiting data. This
`_ratelimit` dict was later renamed to the `_ratelimits_applied` list,
in e86cfbdbd7, which became the `ratelimits_applied` request note
field in 03693cd27e.
Remove the entirely unused `rate_limit` note, and properly copy the
`ratelimits_applied` data into the new request.
As premonitioned in c741c527d7, it is
indeed possible for `get_handler_by_id` to error out by cause the
handler has been unset elsewhere.
Protect the callsites of `get_handler_by_id` to be able to gracefully
handle when the handler has already done away.
4af00f61a8 claimed that `on_finish` and
`on_connection_close` were mutually exclusive. In cases where a
`DELETE` is called on the queue while a longpoll is in progress, this
can cause _both_ to happen:
- The `DELETE` pushes a `cleanup_queue` event, which triggers
`finish_handler` to begin pushing out an empty event response to the
longpoll connection.
- In the midst of that, in an `await`, the longpoll connection drops,
and `on_connection_close` clears the handler.
- The `await` resumes, calls `finish`, and attempts to clear the
handler.
The easiest solution is to make `clear_handler_by_id` tolerant to
multiple attempts to clear it. Since these processes run in parallel,
it means that parts may have a `handler_id` but `get_handler_by_id`
may error in attempting to look it up. We have not observed this in
testing, and I cannot currently prove it is impossible.
This partially reverts 579bdc18f85ea8599c8cf1f53ddb02fd41d97993; it
assumed (based on its documentation) that `on_finish` was called for
all requests, even client-terminated ones. This is not accurate; it
is only called when the request calls `finish`, which only happens for
successful requests. This caused every client-closed connection to
leak a handler (ironically, exactly re-introducing the bug previously
fixed in 12a5a3a6e1).
This behaviour was obscured by the development environment's proxy;
see comment added in the previous commit.
Instead of replacing the `clear_handler_by_id` call into
`ClientDescriptor.disconnect_handler`, we instead place it on
`AsyncDjangoHandler.on_connection_close`. This is more correct for
a few reasons:
- `on_connection_close` will be called if the client goes away during
a request without a client descriptor. If the handler garbage
collection of handlers runs inside the ClientDescriptor, we leak
handlers.
- `disconnect_handler` also runs when successfully sending an event,
which already calls `on_finish`. We avoid double-calling
`clear_handler_by_id` by doing it in two clearly exclusive cases,
`on_finish` and `on_connection_close`.
- It combines the creation and garbage collection logic into one
file, decreasing action at a distance which causes memory leaks.
initialize() is called on every request, and stored the
`RequestHandler` (and thus `HTTPServerRequest`) in a global shared
dict. However, the object is only removed from that structure if the
request was successful. This means that failed requests (such as 405
Method Not Allowed) leaked `RequestHandler`s and
`HTTPServerRequest`s.
Move the cleanup to `on_finish`, which is called at the close of all
requests, async and not, successful or not.
These are not part of the API, and lead to moderately confusing
behaviour -- they block (or not) requested, but of course send no
actual data in the body.
This was for the old /messages/latest API that was removed in commit
e06722657a.
If we wanted a new check like this, it shouldn’t go in zulip_finish,
because that only runs when the client gets an asynchronous response
from polling an initially-empty queue, and not when the client gets a
synchronous response from polling a nonempty queue.

For the same reason as `handler_id` has, we define `_request`
as an attribute. Note that the name `request` is already taken.

This prevents us from relying on a side-effect of `allocate_handler_id`
that monkey-patches `handler_id` on the `AsyncDjangoHandler` object,
allowing mypy to acknowledge the existence of `handler_id` as an `int`.

This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
This is necessary to break the uncollectable reference cycle created
by our ‘request_notes.saved_response = json_response(…)’, Django’s
‘response._resource_closers.append(request.close)’, and Python’s
https://bugs.python.org/issue44680.

This prevents a memory leak arising from Python’s inability to collect
a reference cycle from a WeakKeyDictionary value to its key
(https://bugs.python.org/issue44680).

This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
This includes the migration of fields that require trivial changes
to be migrated to be stored with ZulipRequestNotes.
Specifically _requestor_for_logs, _set_language, _query, error_format,
placeholder_open_graph_description, saveed_response, which were all
previously set on the HttpRequest object at some point. This migration
allows them to be typed.
We will no longer use the HttpRequest to store the rate limit data.
Using ZulipRequestNotes, we can access rate_limit and ratelimits_applied
with type hints support. We also save the process of initializing
ratelimits_applied by giving it a default value.
We create a class called ZulipRequestNotes as a new home to all the
additional attributes that we add to the Django HttpRequest object.
This allows mypy to do the typecheck and also enforces type safety.
Most of the attributes are added in the middleware, and thus it is
generally safe to assert that they are not None in a code path that
goes through the middleware. The caller is obligated to do manual
the type check otherwise.
This also resolves some cyclic dependencies that zerver.lib.request
have with zerver.lib.rate_limiter and zerver.tornado.handlers.
This ensures it is present for all requests; while that was already
essentially true via process_client being called from every standard
decorator, this allows middleware and other code to rely on this
having been set.
The Session middleware only adds `Vary: cookie` if it sees an access
to the from inside of it. Because we are effectively, from the Django
session middleware's point of view, returning the static content of
`request.saved_response` and never accessing the session, it does not
set `Vary: cookie` on longpoll requests.
Explicitly mark Tornado requests as varying by cookie.
