Fixes a CRITICAL "Unhandled error in Deferred" log message which happened when a function wrapped with @cachedList failed.

There's a couple of other tweaks here - review commit by commit.

this cache.invalidate seems to have been redundant (since the cache will invalidate the entry itself when we errback the deferred), so I have removed it

this was the source of the problem.

cache.set creates a new observer, which we were then throwing away. So when the error happened, the failure would be propagated into the observer, but there was nothing to handle it.

One option was to change cache.set to avoid creating an observed, but that gets fiddly because it makes the other call to cache.set inconvenient/less efficient.

So instead we change things round and add the resulting observer to the list of deferreds we wait for down at line 479.

per the comment, having to move this to after the update to results, since we no longer wait for all the calls to complete_all to complete at line 477

Once wrapped, the function returns a Deferred which resolves to a Dict mapping from
input key to output value.

this is a fix to the documentation - it always returned a Dict, rather than a list.

Synapse 1.54.0rc1 (2022-03-02)
==============================

Please note that this will be the last release of Synapse that is compatible with Mjolnir 1.3.1 and earlier.
Administrators of servers which have the Mjolnir module installed are advised to upgrade Mjolnir to version 1.3.2 or later.

Features
--------

- Add support for [MSC3202](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3202): sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](#11617))
- Improve the generated URL previews for some web pages. Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. ([\#11985](#11985))
- Track cache invalidations in Prometheus metrics, as already happens for cache eviction based on size or time. ([\#12000](#12000))
- Implement experimental support for [MSC3720](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3720) (account status endpoints). ([\#12001](#12001), [\#12067](#12067))
- Enable modules to set a custom display name when registering a user. ([\#12009](#12009))
- Advertise Matrix 1.1 and 1.2 support on `/_matrix/client/versions`. ([\#12020](#12020), ([\#12022](#12022))
- Support only the stable identifier for [MSC3069](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3069 `is_guest` on `/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami`. ([\#12021](#12021))
- Use room version 9 as the default room version (per [MSC3589](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3589)). ([\#12058](#12058))
- Add module callbacks to react to user deactivation status changes (i.e. deactivations and reactivations) and profile updates. ([\#12062](#12062))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where an edit of the latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the thread summary. ([\#11992](#11992))
- Fix long-standing bug where the `get_rooms_for_user` cache was not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server left a room. ([\#11999](#11999))
- Fix a 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the [MSC3030](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3030) `/timestamp_to_event?dir=b` endpoint. ([\#12024](#12024))
- Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be inserted into the `event_search` table when using SQLite. This could block running `synapse_port_db` with an `argument of type 'int' is not iterable` error. This bug was partially fixed by a change in Synapse 1.44.0. ([\#12037](#12037))
- Fix slow performance of `/logout` in some cases where refresh tokens are in use. The slowness existed since the initial implementation of refresh tokens in version 1.38.0. ([\#12056](#12056))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would make additional failing requests over federation for missing data. ([\#12077](#12077))
- Fix occasional `Unhandled error in Deferred` error message. ([\#12089](#12089))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.51.0 where incoming federation transactions containing at least one EDU would be dropped if debug logging was enabled for `synapse.8631_debug`. ([\#12098](#12098))
- Fix a long-standing bug which could cause push notifications to malfunction if `use_frozen_dicts` was set in the configuration. ([\#12100](#12100))
- Fix an extremely rare, long-standing bug in `ReadWriteLock` that would cause an error when a newly unblocked writer completes instantly. ([\#12105](#12105))
- Make a `POST` to `/rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>` only trigger a push notification if the count of unread messages is different to the one in the last successfully sent push. This reduces server load and load on the receiving device. ([\#11835](#11835))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](#11997))
- Use Python 3.9 in Docker images by default. ([\#12112](#12112))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Document support for the `to_device`, `account_data`, `receipts`, and `presence` stream writers for workers. ([\#11599](#11599))
- Explain the meaning of spam checker callbacks' return values. ([\#12003](#12003))
- Clarify information about external Identity Provider IDs. ([\#12004](#12004))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Deprecate using `synctl` with the config option `synctl_cache_factor` and print a warning if a user still uses this option. ([\#11865](#11865))
- Remove support for the legacy structured logging configuration (please see the the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#legacy-structured-logging-configuration-removal) if you are using `structured: true` in the Synapse configuration). ([\#12008](#12008))
- Drop support for [MSC3283](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3283) unstable flags now that the stable flags are supported. ([\#12018](#12018))
- Remove the unstable `/spaces` endpoint from [MSC2946](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2946). ([\#12073](#12073))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Make the `get_room_version` method use `get_room_version_id` to benefit from caching. ([\#11808](#11808))
- Remove unnecessary condition on knock -> leave auth rule check. ([\#11900](#11900))
- Add tests for device list changes between local users. ([\#11972](#11972))
- Optimise calculating `device_list` changes in `/sync`. ([\#11974](#11974))
- Add missing type hints to storage classes. ([\#11984](#11984))
- Refactor the search code for improved readability. ([\#11991](#11991))
- Move common deduplication code down into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`. ([\#11994](#11994))
- Limit concurrent joins from applications services. ([\#11996](#11996))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: when parsing the `send_join` response, get the `m.room.create` event from `state`, not `auth_chain`. ([\#12005](#12005), [\#12039](#12039))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: parse MSC3706 fields in send_join response. ([\#12011](#12011))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: persist information on which events and rooms have partial state to the database. ([\#12012](#12012))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: Support for calling `/federation/v1/state` on a remote server. ([\#12013](#12013))
- Configure `tox` to use `venv` rather than `virtualenv`. ([\#12015](#12015))
- Fix bug in `StateFilter.return_expanded()` and add some tests. ([\#12016](#12016))
- Use Matrix v1.1 endpoints (`/_matrix/client/v3/auth/...`) in fallback auth HTML forms. ([\#12019](#12019))
- Update the `olddeps` CI job to use an old version of `markupsafe`. ([\#12025](#12025))
- Upgrade Mypy to version 0.931. ([\#12030](#12030))
- Remove legacy `HomeServer.get_datastore()`. ([\#12031](#12031), [\#12070](#12070))
- Minor typing fixes. ([\#12034](#12034), [\#12069](#12069))

- Fix error message when a worker process fails to talk to another worker process. ([\#12060](#12060))
- Fix using the `complement.sh` script without specifying a directory or a branch. Contributed by Nico on behalf of Famedly. ([\#12063](#12063))
- Add type hints to `tests/rest/client`. ([\#12066](#12066), [\#12072](#12072), [\#12084](#12084), [\#12094](#12094))

- Use `assertEqual` instead of the deprecated `assertEquals` in test code. ([\#12092](#12092))
- Move experimental support for [MSC3440](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3440) to `/versions`. ([\#12099](#12099))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Update release script to insert the previous version when writing "No significant changes" line in the changelog. ([\#12127](matrix-org/synapse#12127))

Synapse 1.54.0rc1 (2022-03-02)
==============================

Features
--------

- Add support for [MSC3202](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3202): sending one-time key counts and fallback key usage states to Application Services. ([\#11617](matrix-org/synapse#11617))
- Improve the generated URL previews for some web pages. Contributed by @AndrewRyanChama. ([\#11985](matrix-org/synapse#11985))
- Track cache invalidations in Prometheus metrics, as already happens for cache eviction based on size or time. ([\#12000](matrix-org/synapse#12000))
- Implement experimental support for [MSC3720](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3720) (account status endpoints). ([\#12001](matrix-org/synapse#12001), [\#12067](matrix-org/synapse#12067))
- Enable modules to set a custom display name when registering a user. ([\#12009](matrix-org/synapse#12009))
- Advertise Matrix 1.1 and 1.2 support on `/_matrix/client/versions`. ([\#12020](matrix-org/synapse#12020), ([\#12022](matrix-org/synapse#12022))
- Support only the stable identifier for [MSC3069](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3069 `is_guest` on `/_matrix/client/v3/account/whoami`. ([\#12021](matrix-org/synapse#12021))
- Use room version 9 as the default room version (per [MSC3589](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3589)). ([\#12058](matrix-org/synapse#12058))
- Add module callbacks to react to user deactivation status changes (i.e. deactivations and reactivations) and profile updates. ([\#12062](matrix-org/synapse#12062))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.48.0 where an edit of the latest event in a thread would not be properly applied to the thread summary. ([\#11992](matrix-org/synapse#11992))
- Fix long-standing bug where the `get_rooms_for_user` cache was not correctly invalidated for remote users when the server left a room. ([\#11999](matrix-org/synapse#11999))
- Fix a 500 error with Postgres when looking backwards with the [MSC3030](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3030) `/timestamp_to_event?dir=b` endpoint. ([\#12024](matrix-org/synapse#12024))
- Properly fix a long-standing bug where wrong data could be inserted into the `event_search` table when using SQLite. This could block running `synapse_port_db` with an `argument of type 'int' is not iterable` error. This bug was partially fixed by a change in Synapse 1.44.0. ([\#12037](matrix-org/synapse#12037))
- Fix slow performance of `/logout` in some cases where refresh tokens are in use. The slowness existed since the initial implementation of refresh tokens in version 1.38.0. ([\#12056](matrix-org/synapse#12056))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would make additional failing requests over federation for missing data. ([\#12077](matrix-org/synapse#12077))
- Fix occasional `Unhandled error in Deferred` error message. ([\#12089](matrix-org/synapse#12089))
- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.51.0 where incoming federation transactions containing at least one EDU would be dropped if debug logging was enabled for `synapse.8631_debug`. ([\#12098](matrix-org/synapse#12098))
- Fix a long-standing bug which could cause push notifications to malfunction if `use_frozen_dicts` was set in the configuration. ([\#12100](matrix-org/synapse#12100))
- Fix an extremely rare, long-standing bug in `ReadWriteLock` that would cause an error when a newly unblocked writer completes instantly. ([\#12105](matrix-org/synapse#12105))
- Make a `POST` to `/rooms/<room_id>/receipt/m.read/<event_id>` only trigger a push notification if the count of unread messages is different to the one in the last successfully sent push. This reduces server load and load on the receiving device. ([\#11835](matrix-org/synapse#11835))

Updates to the Docker image
---------------------------

- The Docker image no longer automatically creates a temporary volume at `/data`. This is not expected to affect normal usage. ([\#11997](matrix-org/synapse#11997))
- Use Python 3.9 in Docker images by default. ([\#12112](matrix-org/synapse#12112))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Document support for the `to_device`, `account_data`, `receipts`, and `presence` stream writers for workers. ([\#11599](matrix-org/synapse#11599))
- Explain the meaning of spam checker callbacks' return values. ([\#12003](matrix-org/synapse#12003))
- Clarify information about external Identity Provider IDs. ([\#12004](matrix-org/synapse#12004))

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------

- Deprecate using `synctl` with the config option `synctl_cache_factor` and print a warning if a user still uses this option. ([\#11865](matrix-org/synapse#11865))
- Remove support for the legacy structured logging configuration (please see the the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#legacy-structured-logging-configuration-removal) if you are using `structured: true` in the Synapse configuration). ([\#12008](matrix-org/synapse#12008))
- Drop support for [MSC3283](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3283) unstable flags now that the stable flags are supported. ([\#12018](matrix-org/synapse#12018))
- Remove the unstable `/spaces` endpoint from [MSC2946](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2946). ([\#12073](matrix-org/synapse#12073))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Make the `get_room_version` method use `get_room_version_id` to benefit from caching. ([\#11808](matrix-org/synapse#11808))
- Remove unnecessary condition on knock -> leave auth rule check. ([\#11900](matrix-org/synapse#11900))
- Add tests for device list changes between local users. ([\#11972](matrix-org/synapse#11972))
- Optimise calculating `device_list` changes in `/sync`. ([\#11974](matrix-org/synapse#11974))

- Refactor the search code for improved readability. ([\#11991](matrix-org/synapse#11991))
- Move common deduplication code down into `_auth_and_persist_outliers`. ([\#11994](matrix-org/synapse#11994))
- Limit concurrent joins from applications services. ([\#11996](matrix-org/synapse#11996))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: when parsing the `send_join` response, get the `m.room.create` event from `state`, not `auth_chain`. ([\#12005](matrix-org/synapse#12005), [\#12039](matrix-org/synapse#12039))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: parse MSC3706 fields in send_join response. ([\#12011](matrix-org/synapse#12011))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: persist information on which events and rooms have partial state to the database. ([\#12012](matrix-org/synapse#12012))
- Preparation for faster-room-join work: Support for calling `/federation/v1/state` on a remote server. ([\#12013](matrix-org/synapse#12013))
- Configure `tox` to use `venv` rather than `virtualenv`. ([\#12015](matrix-org/synapse#12015))
- Fix bug in `StateFilter.return_expanded()` and add some tests. ([\#12016](matrix-org/synapse#12016))

- Upgrade Mypy to version 0.931. ([\#12030](matrix-org/synapse#12030))
- Remove legacy `HomeServer.get_datastore()`. ([\#12031](matrix-org/synapse#12031), [\#12070](matrix-org/synapse#12070))
- Minor typing fixes. ([\#12034](matrix-org/synapse#12034), [\#12069](matrix-org/synapse#12069))
- After joining a room, create a dedicated logcontext to process the queued events. ([\#12041](matrix-org/synapse#12041))
- Tidy up GitHub Actions config which builds distributions for PyPI. ([\#12051](matrix-org/synapse#12051))
- Move configuration out of `setup.cfg`. ([\#12052](matrix-org/synapse#12052), [\#12059](matrix-org/synapse#12059))
- Fix error message when a worker process fails to talk to another worker process. ([\#12060](matrix-org/synapse#12060))
- Fix using the `complement.sh` script without specifying a directory or a branch. Contributed by Nico on behalf of Famedly. ([\#12063](matrix-org/synapse#12063))
- Add type hints to `tests/rest/client`. ([\#12066](matrix-org/synapse#12066), [\#12072](matrix-org/synapse#12072), [\#12084](matrix-org/synapse#12084), [\#12094](matrix-org/synapse#12094))
- Add some logging to `/sync` to try and track down #11916. ([\#12068](matrix-org/synapse#12068))
- Inspect application dependencies using `importlib.metadata` or its backport. ([\#12088](matrix-org/synapse#12088))
- Use `assertEqual` instead of the deprecated `assertEquals` in test code. ([\#12092](matrix-org/synapse#12092))
