Problem/Motivation

The User data service offers a public API to store additional data related to individual users. The related UserDataInterface exposes two methods that perform storage writes: set() and delete(). The default implementation does not take cache tag invalidation into account, which may cause stale cache entries not to be invalidated.

Proposed resolution

Add cache invalidation to UserData::set() and UserData::delete().

This is a quick patch I put together, it has the problem that we'd be invalidating cache tags each time ::set() is called, which would perform very bed when multiple properties need to be set. Not sure whether that's a common case, but we have such an example in User::preSave(). One possible fix could adding a parameter to skip cache tag invalidation (defaulting to FALSE).

I was under the impression that at least in the mysql cache tags invalidator we have protection against multiple invalidations of the same tag in the same request.

If not however, this should be fixed in the invalidator and not here in my opinion.

Its a bit odd that we allow multiple $uids, even the set method gets the $uid as singular.

The delete method allows multiple ids to be specified, although the parameter is called $uid. If Fabian is correct about invalidating tags multiple times in the same request being ok, we should add the call also on delete.

    I'm not sure this makes sense ... User::postDelete() is just executed when the entire user is removed. In this method you can also remove SOME of the user data.

This issue came up as part of the BSI daily triage.

The issue summary needs an update to reflect the changes mentioned in #10.

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.
