2021-03-30Add a per-room mutex to federationapi when processing transactions (#1810)Kegsay
* Add a per-room mutex to federationapi when processing transactions This has numerous benefits: - Prevents us doing lots of state resolutions in busy rooms. Previously, room forks would always result in a state resolution being performed immediately, without checking if we were already doing this in a different transaction. Now they will queue up, resulting in fewer calls to `/state_ids`, `/g_m_e`, etc. - Prevents memory usage from growing too large as a result and potentially OOMing. And costs: - High traffic rooms will be slightly slower due to head-of-line blocking from other servers, though this has always been an issue as roomserver has a per-room mutex already. * Fix unit tests * Correct mutex lock ordering
