De-flake MSC3030 backfill test with Synapse worker replication
Spawning from matrix-org/synapse#14028 (comment) The reason they failed before was because we're fighting against stale caches across workers racing while waiting for invalidation, see matrix-org/synapse#13185 (comment) > Here is what happens: > > 1. `serverB` has `event1` stored as an `outlier` from previous requests (specifically from MSC3030 jump to date pulling in a missing `prev_event` after backfilling) > 1. Client on `serverB` calls `/messages?dir=b` > 1. `serverB:client_reader1` accepts the request and drives things > 1. `serverB:client_reader1` has some backward extremities in range and requests `/backfill` from `serverA` > 1. `serverB:client_reader1` processes the events from backfill including `event1` and puts them in the `_event_persist_queue` > 1. `serverB:master` picks up the events from the `_event_persist_queue` and persists them to the database, de-outliers `event1` and invalidates its own cache and sends them over replication > 1. `serverB:client_reader1` starts assembling the `/messages` response and gets `event1` out of the stale cache still as an `outlier` > 1. `serverB:client_reader1` responds to the `/messages` request without `event1` because `outliers` are filtered out > 1. `serverB:client_reader1` finally gets the replication data and invalidates its own cache for `event1` (too late, we already got the events from the stale cache and responded)
