Attempting to resync the device list for non existing user after federation turned off. #10218

Description

After disabling federation for my homeserver, I get logs related to device lists resync, for users that are no more in any rooms. Using nginx as reverse proxy, I have disabled federation by removing 8448 port from nginx conf file, set federation_domain_whitelist =[], and denied 8448 in ufw firewall. A log entry example would be:

2021-06-18 12:26:27,235 - synapse.handlers.device - 844 - DEBUG - _maybe_retry_device_resync-106 - Attempting to resync the device list for @philipp:netzgemeinde.eu

Looking at the database I find entries for this user in :

What tables have to be cleared for this user, so that synapse stops to resync the device list for those users ? Any APIs I can safely use?

I found a single entry for each user synapse wants to resync their devices list, in device_lists_remote_resync table. Maybe I could delete the entries from there ?

Yup, that should work.

We should make sure that that happens automatically when we no longer share a room with the user. I think its just a case of adding a delete clause to mark_remote_user_device_list_as_unsubscribed function.

By the way I deleted all entries on device_lists_remote_resync and the problem did not re-occur.
