bug #57006 "Deadlock between HANDLER and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK" and bug #54673 "It takes too long to get readlock for
'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK'".
The first bug manifested itself as a deadlock which occurred
when a connection, which had some table open through HANDLER
statement, tried to update some data through DML statement
while another connection tried to execute FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK concurrently.
What happened was that FTWRL in the second connection managed
to perform first step of GRL acquisition and thus blocked all
upcoming DML. After that it started to wait for table open
through HANDLER statement to be flushed. When the first connection
tried to execute DML it has started to wait for GRL/the second
connection creating deadlock.
The second bug manifested itself as starvation of FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK statements in cases when there was a constant
stream of concurrent DML statements (in two or more
connections).
This has happened because requests for protection against GRL
which were acquired by DML statements were ignoring presence of
pending GRL and thus the latter was starved.
This patch solves both these problems by re-implementing GRL
using metadata locks.
Similar to the old implementation acquisition of GRL in new
implementation is two-step. During the first step we block
all concurrent DML and DDL statements by acquiring global S
metadata lock (each DML and DDL statement acquires global IX
lock for its duration). During the second step we block commits
by acquiring global S lock in COMMIT namespace (commit code
acquires global IX lock in this namespace).
Note that unlike in old implementation acquisition of
protection against GRL in DML and DDL is semi-automatic.
We assume that any statement which should be blocked by GRL
will either open and acquires write-lock on tables or acquires
metadata locks on objects it is going to modify. For any such
statement global IX metadata lock is automatically acquired
for its duration.
The first problem is solved because waits for GRL become
visible to deadlock detector in metadata locking subsystem
and thus deadlocks like one in the first bug become impossible.
The second problem is solved because global S locks which
are used for GRL implementation are given preference over
IX locks which are acquired by concurrent DML (and we can
switch to fair scheduling in future if needed).
Important change:
FTWRL/GRL no longer blocks DML and DDL on temporary tables.
Before this patch behavior was not consistent in this respect:
in some cases DML/DDL statements on temporary tables were
blocked while in others they were not. Since the main use cases
for FTWRL are various forms of backups and temporary tables are
not preserved during backups we have opted for consistently
allowing DML/DDL on temporary tables during FTWRL/GRL.
Important change:
This patch changes thread state names which are used when
DML/DDL of FTWRL is waiting for global read lock. It is now
either "Waiting for global read lock" or "Waiting for commit
lock" depending on the stage on which FTWRL is.
Incompatible change:
To solve deadlock in events code which was exposed by this
patch we have to replace LOCK_event_metadata mutex with
metadata locks on events. As result we have to prohibit
DDL on events under LOCK TABLES.
This patch also adds extensive test coverage for interaction
of DML/DDL and FTWRL.
Performance of new and old global read lock implementations
in sysbench tests were compared. There were no significant
difference between new and old implementations.
data dictionary confusion
On file systems with case insensitive file names, and
lower_case_table_names set to '2', the server could crash
due to a table definition cache inconsistency. This is
the default setting on MacOSX, but may also be set and
used on MS Windows.
The bug is caused by using two different strategies for
creating the hash key for the table definition cache, resulting
in failure to look up an entry which is present in the cache,
or failure to delete an existing entry. One strategy was to
use the real table name (with case preserved), and the other
to use a normalized table name (i.e a lower case version).
This is manifested in two cases. One is during 'DROP DATABASE',
where all known files are removed. The removal from
the table definition cache is done via a generated list of
TABLE_LIST with keys (wrongly) created using the case preserved
name. The other is during CREATE TABLE, where the cache lookup
is also (wrongly) based on the case preserved name.
The fix was to use only the normalized table name when
creating hash keys.

Normalize table name (i.e lower case it)

Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.

DATABASE with open HANDLER"
Remove LOCK_create_db, database name locks, and use metadata locks instead.
This exposes CREATE/DROP/ALTER DATABASE statements to the graph-based
deadlock detector in MDL, and paves the way for a safe, deadlock-free
implementation of RENAME DATABASE.
Database DDL statements will now take exclusive metadata locks on
the database name, while table/view/routine DDL statements take
intention exclusive locks on the database name. This prevents race
conditions between database DDL and table/view/routine DDL.
(e.g. DROP DATABASE with concurrent CREATE/ALTER/DROP TABLE)
By adding database name locks, this patch implements
WL#4450 "DDL locking: CREATE/DROP DATABASE must use database locks" and
WL#4985 "DDL locking: namespace/hierarchical locks".
The patch also changes code to use init_one_table() where appropriate.
The new lock_table_names() function requires TABLE_LIST::db_length to
be set correctly, and this is taken care of by init_one_table().
This patch also adds a simple template to help work with
the mysys HASH data structure.
Most of the patch was written by Konstantin Osipov.

This deadlock happened if DROP DATABASE was blocked due to an open
HANDLER table from a different connection. While DROP DATABASE
is blocked, it holds the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. This results
in a deadlock if the connection with the open HANDLER table tries
to execute a CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statement as they all
try to acquire LOCK_mysql_create_db.
This patch makes this deadlock scenario very unlikely by closing and
marking for re-open all HANDLER tables for which there are pending
conflicing locks, before LOCK_mysql_create_db is acquired.
However, there is still a very slight possibility that a connection
could access one of these HANDLER tables between closing/marking for
re-open and the acquisition of LOCK_mysql_create_db.
This patch is for 5.1 only, a separate and complete fix will be
made for 5.5+.
Test case added to schema.test.

"A temp table with the same name as an existing table, makes drop

When dropping the database, mysql_rm_known_files() reads the contents
of the database directory, and creates a TABLE_LIST object, for each
.frm file encountered. Temporary tables, however, are not associated
with any .frm file.
The list of tables to drop are passed to mysql_rm_table_part2().
This method prefers temporary tables over regular tables, so if
there is a temporary table with the same name as a regular, the
temporary is removed, leaving the regular table intact.
Regular tables are only deleted if there are no temporary tables
with the same name.
This fix ensures, that for all TABLE_LIST objects that are created
by mysql_rm_known_files(), 'open_type' is set to 'OT_BASE_ONLY', to
indicate that this is a regular table. In all cases in
mysql_rm_table_part2() where we prefer a temporary table to a

transactional SELECT and ALTER TABLE ... REBUILD PARTITION".
The goal of this patch is to decouple type of metadata
lock acquired for table by open_tables() from type of
table-level lock to be acquired on it.
To achieve this we change approach to how we determine what
type of metadata lock should be acquired on table to be open.
Now instead of inferring it at open_tables() time from flags
and type of table-level lock we rely on that type of metadata
lock is properly set at parsing time and is not changed
further.
sql/ha_ndbcluster.cc:
Now one needs to properly initialize table list element's
MDL_request object before calling mysql_rm_table_part2().
sql/lock.cc:
lock_table_names() no longer initializes table list elements'
MDL_request objects. Now proper initialization of these
requests is a responsibility of the caller.
sql/lock.h:
Removed MYSQL_OPEN_TAKE_UPGRADABLE_MDL flag which became
unnecessary. Thanks to the fact that we don't reset type of
requests for metadata locks between re-executions we now can
figure out that upgradable locks are requested by simply
looking at their type which were set in the parser. As result
this flag became redundant.
sql/mdl.h:
Added version of new operator which simplifies allocation of
MDL_request objects on a MEM_ROOT.
sql/sp_head.cc:
Added comment explaining why it is OK to infer type of
metadata lock to request from type of table-level lock
for prelocking.
Added enum_mdl_type argument to sp_add_to_query_tables()
to simplify its usage in trigger implementation.
sql/sp_head.h:
Added enum_mdl_type argument to sp_add_to_query_tables()
to simplify its usage in trigger implementation.
sql/sql_base.cc:
- open_table_get_mdl_lock():
Preserve type of MDL_request for table list element which
was set in the parser by creating MDL_request objects on
memory root if MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED_MDL or
MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO_MDL flag were specified.
Thanks to this and to the fact that we no longer reset
type of requests for metadata locks between re-executions
we no longer need to acquire exclusive metadata lock on
table to be created in a special way. This lock is acquired
by code handling acquiring of upgradable locks.
Also changed signature/calling convention for this function
to simplify its usage.
- Accordingly special lock strategy for table list elements
which was used for such locks became unnecessary and was
removed. Other strategies were renamed.
- Since we no longer have guarantee that MDL_request object
which were not satisfied due to lock conflict belongs to
table list element Open_table_context class and its methods
were extended to remember pointer to MDL_request which has
caused problem at request_backoff_action() time and use it
in recover_from_failed_open(). Similar approach is used
for cases when problem from which we need to recover is
not related to MDL but to the table itself. In this case
we store pointer to the element of table list.
- Changed open_tables()/open_tables_check_upgradable_mdl()/
open_tables_acquire_upgradable_mdl() not to rely on
MYSQL_OPEN_TAKE_UPGRADABLE_MDL flag to understand when
upgradable metadata locks should be acquired and not to
infer type of MDL lock from type of table-level lock.
Instead we assume that type of MDL to be acquired was set
in the parser (we can do this as type of MDL_request is
no longer reset between re-executions).
sql/sql_class.h:
Since we no longer have guarantee that MDL_request object
which were not satisfied due to lock conflict belongs to

in recover_from_failed_open(). Similar approach is used
for cases when problem from which we need to recover is
not related to MDL but to the table itself. In this case
we store pointer to the element of table list.
sql/sql_db.cc:
Now one needs to properly initialize table list element's
MDL_request object before calling mysql_rm_table_part2()
or mysql_rename_tables().
sql/sql_lex.cc:
st_select_lex/st_select_lex_node::add_table_to_list() method
now has argument which allows specify type of metadata lock
to be requested for table list element being added.
sql/sql_lex.h:
- st_select_lex/st_select_lex_node::add_table_to_list()
method now has argument which specifies type of metadata
lock to be requested for table list element being added.
This allows to explicitly set type of MDL lock to be
acquired for a DDL statement in parser. It is also more
future-proof than inferring type of MDL request from type
of table-level lock.
- Added Yacc_state::m_mdl_type member which specifies which
type of metadata lock should be requested for tables to be
added to table list by a grammar rule in cases when the same
rule is used in several statements requiring different kinds
of metadata locks.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
- st_select_lex::add_table_to_list() method now has argument
which specifies type of metadata lock to be requested for
table list element being added. This allows to explicitly
set type of MDL lock to be acquired for a DDL statement in
parser. It is also more future-proof than inferring type of
MDL request from type of table-level lock.
- EXCLUSIVE_DOWNGRADABLE_MDL lock strategy has a new name -
OTLS_DOWNGRADE_IF_EXISTS.
- Adjusted LOCK TABLES implementation to the fact that we no
longer infer type of metadata lock to be acquired from table
level lock and that type of MDL request is set at parsing.
And thus MYSQL_OPEN_TAKE_UPGRADABLE_MDL flag became
unnecessary.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
TABLE_LIST's lock strategy SHARED_MDL was renamed to OTLS_NONE
as now it means that metadata lock should not be changed during
call to open_table() (if it has been already acquired) and is
also used for exclusive metadata lock.
sql/sql_show.cc:
st_select_lex::add_table_to_list() method now has argument
which specifies type of metadata lock to be requested for
table list element being added.
sql/sql_table.cc:
- Adjusted mysql_admin_table()'s code to the fact that
open_tables() no longer determines what kind of metadata
lock should be obtained basing on type of table-level
lock and flags. Instead type of metadata lock for table
to be open should be set before calling open_tables().
- Changed mysql_alter_table() code to the facts:
a) that now it is responsibility of caller to properly
initalize MDL_request in table list elements before calling
lock_table_names()
b) and that MYSQL_OPEN_TAKE_UPGRADABLE_MDL is no longer
necessary since type of metadata lock to be obtained
at open_tables() time is set during parsing.
- Changed code of mysql_recreate_table() to properly set
type of metadata and table-level lock to be obtained
by mysql_alter_table() which it calls.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
Instead of relying on MYSQL_OPEN_TAKE_UPGRADABLE_MDL flag to
force open_tables() to take an upgradable lock we now specify
exact type of lock to be taken when constructing table list
element for table to be open for CREATE/DROP TRIGGER.
sql/sql_view.cc:
We no longer use TABLE_LIST::EXCLUSIVE_MDL strategy to force
open_tables() to take an exclusive metadata lock on view to
be created. Instead we rely on parser setting proper type of
metadata lock to request and open_tables() acquiring it.
This became possible thanks to the fact that we no longer
reset type of MDL_request between statement re-executions.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
Instead of inferring type of MDL_request for table to be
open from type of table-level lock and flags passed to
open_tables() we now explicitly specify them at parsing.
This became possible thanks to the fact that we no longer
reset type of MDL_request between statement re-executions.
In future this should allow to decouple type of metadata
lock from type of table-level lock.
The only exception to this approach is statements implemented
through mysql_admin_table() which re-uses same table list
element several times with different types of table-level
and metadata locks.
We now also properly initialize MDL_request objects for table
list elements which are later passed to lock_table_names()
function.
sql/table.cc:
Do not reset type of MDL_request between statement
re-executions. This became unnecessesary as we no longer
change type of MDL_request residing in table list element.
In its turn this change allows to set type of MDL_request
only once - at parsing time.
sql/table.h:
Got rid of TABLE_LIST::EXCLUSIVE_MDL lock strategy.
Now we can specify that we need to acquire exclusive lock
on table to be processed by open_tables() through setting
an appropriate type of MDL_request at parsing time (this
became possible thanks to the fact that we no longer reset
types of MDL_request's belonging to table list elements
between statement re-execution).
Strategy SHARED_MDL was renamed to OTLS_NONE as now it
means that metadata lock should not be changed during call
to open_table() (if it has been already acquired) and is
also used for exclusive metadata lock.
Strategy EXCLUSIVE_DOWNGRADABLE_MDL was renamed to
OTLS_DOWNGRADE_IF_EXISTS.

Fix merge problem with Bug#37148
Add a wait-for graph based deadlock detector to the
MDL subsystem.
Fixes bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock" and
bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and
alter table".
The first bug manifested itself as an unwarranted abort of a
transaction with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error by a concurrent ALTER
statement, when this transaction tried to repeat use of a
table, which it has already used in a similar fashion before
ALTER started.
The second bug showed up as a deadlock between table-level
locks and InnoDB row locks, which was "detected" only after
innodb_lock_wait_timeout timeout.
A transaction would start using the table and modify a few
rows.
Then ALTER TABLE would come in, and start copying rows
into a temporary table. Eventually it would stumble on
the modified records and get blocked on a row lock.
The first transaction would try to do more updates, and get
blocked on thr_lock.c lock.
This situation of circular wait would only get resolved
by a timeout.
Both these bugs stemmed from inadequate solutions to the
problem of deadlocks occurring between different
locking subsystems.
In the first case we tried to avoid deadlocks between metadata
locking and table-level locking subsystems, when upgrading shared
metadata lock to exclusive one.
Transactions holding the shared lock on the table and waiting for
some table-level lock used to be aborted too aggressively.
We also allowed ALTER TABLE to start in presence of transactions
that modify the subject table. ALTER TABLE acquires
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock at start, and that block all writes
against the table (naturally, we don't want any writes to be lost
when switching the old and the new table). TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ
lock, in turn, would block the started transaction on thr_lock.c
lock, should they do more updates. This, again, lead to the need
to abort such transactions.
The second bug occurred simply because we didn't have any
mechanism to detect deadlocks between the table-level locks
in thr_lock.c and row-level locks in InnoDB, other than
innodb_lock_wait_timeout.
This patch solves both these problems by moving lock conflicts
which are causing these deadlocks into the metadata locking
subsystem, thus making it possible to avoid or detect such
deadlocks inside MDL.
To do this we introduce new type-of-operation-aware metadata
locks, which allow MDL subsystem to know not only the fact that
transaction has used or is going to use some object but also what
kind of operation it has carried out or going to carry out on the
object.
This, along with the addition of a special kind of upgradable
metadata lock, allows ALTER TABLE to wait until all
transactions which has updated the table to go away.
This solves the second issue.
Another special type of upgradable metadata lock is acquired
by LOCK TABLE WRITE. This second lock type allows to solve the
first issue, since abortion of table-level locks in event of
DDL under LOCK TABLES becomes also unnecessary.
Below follows the list of incompatible changes introduced by
this patch:
- From now on, ALTER TABLE and CREATE/DROP TRIGGER SQL (i.e. those
statements that acquire TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock)
wait for all transactions which has *updated* the table to
complete.
- From now on, LOCK TABLES ... WRITE, REPAIR/OPTIMIZE TABLE
(i.e. all statements which acquire TL_WRITE table-level lock) wait
for all transaction which *updated or read* from the table
to complete.
As a consequence, innodb_table_locks=0 option no longer applies
to LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
- DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE no longer abort
statements or transactions which use tables being dropped or
renamed, and instead wait for these transactions to complete.
- Since LOCK TABLES WRITE now takes a special metadata lock,
not compatible with with reads or writes against the subject table
and transaction-wide, thr_lock.c deadlock avoidance algorithm
that used to ensure absence of deadlocks between LOCK TABLES
WRITE and other statements is no longer sufficient, even for
MyISAM. The wait-for graph based deadlock detector of MDL
subsystem may sometimes be necessary and is involved. This may
lead to ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error produced for multi-statement
transactions even if these only use MyISAM:
session 1: session 2:
begin;
update t1 ... lock table t2 write, t1 write;
-- gets a lock on t2, blocks on t1
update t2 ...
(ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK)
- Finally, support of LOW_PRIORITY option for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE
was abandoned.
LOCK TABLE ... LOW_PRIORITY WRITE from now on has the same
priority as the usual LOCK TABLE ... WRITE.
SELECT HIGH PRIORITY no longer trumps LOCK TABLE ... WRITE in
the wait queue.
- We do not take upgradable metadata locks on implicitly
locked tables. So if one has, say, a view v1 that uses
table t1, and issues:
LOCK TABLE v1 WRITE;
FLUSH TABLE t1; -- (or just 'FLUSH TABLES'),
an error is produced.
In order to be able to perform DDL on a table under LOCK TABLES,
the table must be locked explicitly in the LOCK TABLES list.
mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
Adjusted test case to trigger an execution path on which bug 41110
"crash with handler command when used concurrently with alter
table" and bug 41112 "crash in mysql_ha_close_table/get_lock_data
with alter table" were originally discovered. Left old test case
which no longer triggers this execution path for the sake of
coverage.
Added test coverage for HANDLER SQL statements and type-aware
metadata locks.
Added a test for the global shared lock and HANDLER SQL.
Updated tests to take into account that the old simple deadlock
detection heuristics was replaced with a graph-based deadlock
detector.
mysql-test/r/debug_sync.result:
Updated results (see debug_sync.test).
mysql-test/r/handler_innodb.result:
Updated results (see handler.inc test).
mysql-test/r/handler_myisam.result:
Updated results (see handler.inc test).
mysql-test/r/innodb-lock.result:
Updated results (see innodb-lock.test).
mysql-test/r/innodb_mysql_lock.result:
Updated results (see innodb_mysql_lock.test).
mysql-test/r/lock.result:
Updated results (see lock.test).
mysql-test/r/lock_multi.result:
Updated results (see lock_multi.test).
mysql-test/r/lock_sync.result:
Updated results (see lock_sync.test).
mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:
Updated results (see mdl_sync.test).
mysql-test/r/sp-threads.result:
SHOW PROCESSLIST output has changed due to the fact that waiting
for LOCK TABLES WRITE now happens within metadata locking
subsystem.
mysql-test/r/truncate_coverage.result:
Updated results (see truncate_coverage.test).
mysql-test/suite/funcs_1/datadict/processlist_val.inc:
SELECT FROM I_S.PROCESSLIST output has changed due to fact that
waiting for LOCK TABLES WRITE now happens within metadata locking
subsystem.
mysql-test/suite/funcs_1/r/processlist_val_no_prot.result:
SELECT FROM I_S.PROCESSLIST output has changed due to fact that
waiting for LOCK TABLES WRITE now happens within metadata locking
subsystem.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_sp.test:
Updated to a new SHOW PROCESSLIST state name.
mysql-test/t/debug_sync.test:
Use LOCK TABLES READ instead of LOCK TABLES WRITE as the latter
no longer allows to trigger execution path involving waiting on
thr_lock.c lock and therefore reaching debug sync-point covered
by this test.
mysql-test/t/innodb-lock.test:
Adjusted test case to the fact that innodb_table_locks=0 option is
no longer supported, since LOCK TABLES WRITE handles all its
conflicts within MDL subsystem.
mysql-test/t/innodb_mysql_lock.test:
Added test for bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between
update and alter table".
mysql-test/t/lock.test:
Added test coverage which checks the fact that we no longer support
DDL under LOCK TABLES on tables which were locked implicitly.
Adjusted existing test cases accordingly.
mysql-test/t/lock_multi.test:
Added test for bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary
deadlock". Adjusted other test cases to take into account the
fact that waiting for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE now happens within MDL
subsystem.
mysql-test/t/lock_sync.test:
Since LOCK TABLES ... WRITE now takes SNRW metadata lock for
tables locked explicitly we have to implicitly lock InnoDB tables
(through view) to trigger the table-level lock conflict between
TL_WRITE and TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE.
mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test:
Added basic test coverage for type-of-operation-aware metadata
locks. Also covered with tests some use cases involving HANDLER
statements in which a deadlock could arise.
Adjusted existing tests to take type-of-operation-aware MDL into
account.
mysql-test/t/multi_update.test:
Update to a new SHOW PROCESSLIST state name.
mysql-test/t/truncate_coverage.test:
Adjusted test case after making LOCK TABLES WRITE to wait until
transactions that use the table to be locked are completed.
Updated to the changed name of DEBUG_SYNC point.
sql/handler.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been
moved into a class.
sql/lock.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been
moved into a class.
Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/mdl.cc:
Introduced new type-of-operation aware metadata locks.
To do this:
- Changed MDL_lock to use one list for waiting requests and one
list for granted requests. For each list, added a bitmap
that holds information what lock types a list contains.
Added a helper class MDL_lock::List to manipulate with granted
and waited lists while keeping the bitmaps in sync
with list contents.
- Changed lock-compatibility functions to use bitmaps that
define compatibility.
- Introduced a graph based deadlock detector inspired by
waiting_threads.c from Maria implementation.
- Now that we have a deadlock detector, and no longer have
a global lock to protect individual lock objects, but rather
use an rw lock per object, removed redundant code for upgrade,
and the global read lock. Changed the MDL API to
no longer require the caller to acquire the global
intention exclusive lock by means of a separate method.
Removed a few more methods that became redundant.
- Removed deadlock detection heuristic, it has been made
obsolete by the deadlock detector.
- With operation-type-aware metadata locks, MDL subsystem has
become aware of potential conflicts between DDL and open
transactions. This made it possible to remove calls to
mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() from acquisition
paths for exclusive lock and lock upgrade. Now we can simply
wait for these transactions to complete without fear of
deadlock. Function mysql_lock_abort() has also become
unnecessary for all conflicting cases except when a DDL
conflicts with a connection that has an open HANDLER.
sql/mdl.h:
Introduced new type-of-operation aware metadata locks.
Introduced a graph based deadlock detector and supporting
methods.
Added comments.
God rid of redundant API calls.
Renamed m_lt_or_ha_sentinel to m_trans_sentinel,
since now it guards the global read lock as well as
LOCK TABLES and HANDLER locks.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
Moved the global read lock functionality into a
class.
Added MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED_MDL flag which forces
open_tables() to take MDL_SHARED on tables instead of
metadata locks specified in the parser. We use this to
allow PREPARE run concurrently in presence of
LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
Added signature for find_table_for_mdl_ugprade().
sql/set_var.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been
moved into a class.
sql/sp_head.cc:
When creating TABLE_LIST elements for prelocking or
system tables set the type of request for metadata
lock according to the operation that will be performed
on the table.
sql/sql_base.cc:
- Updated code to use the new MDL API.
- In order to avoid locks starvation we take upgradable
locks all at once. As result implicitly locked tables no
longer get an upgradable lock. Consequently DDL and FLUSH
TABLES for such tables is prohibited.
find_write_locked_table() was replaced by
find_table_for_mdl_upgrade() function.
open_table() was adjusted to return TABLE instance with
upgradable ticket when necessary.
- We no longer wait for all locks on OT_WAIT back off
action -- only on the lock that caused the wait
conflict. Moreover, now we distinguish cases when we
have to wait due to conflict in MDL and old version
of table in TDC.
- Upate mysql_notify_threads_having_share_locks()
to only abort thr_lock.c waits of threads that
have open HANDLERs, since lock conflicts with only
these threads now can lead to deadlocks not detectable
by the MDL deadlock detector.
- Remove mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_locks()
which is no longer needed.
sql/sql_class.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
Re-arranged code in THD::cleanup() to simplify assert.
sql/sql_class.h:
Introduced class to incapsulate global read lock
functionality.
Now sentinel in MDL subsystem guards the global read lock
as well as LOCK TABLES and HANDLER locks. Adjusted code
accordingly.
sql/sql_db.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
sql/sql_delete.cc:
We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result
TRUNCATE TABLE is no longer allowed for such tables.
Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_handler.cc:
Inform MDL_context about presence of open HANDLERs.
Since HANLDERs break MDL protocol by acquiring table-level
lock while holding only S metadata lock on a table MDL
subsystem should take special care about such contexts (Now
this is the only case when mysql_lock_abort() is used).
sql/sql_parse.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
Do not take upgradable metadata locks when opening tables
for CREATE TABLE SELECT as it is not necessary and limits
concurrency.
When initializing TABLE_LIST objects before adding them
to the table list set the type of request for metadata lock
according to the operation that will be performed on the
table.
We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result FLUSH
TABLES is no longer allowed for such tables.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
Use MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED_MDL flag when opening
tables during PREPARE. This allows PREPARE to run
concurrently in presence of LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
sql/sql_rename.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
sql/sql_show.cc:
Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_table.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result DROP
TABLE is no longer allowed for such tables.
Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result
CREATE/DROP TRIGGER is no longer allowed for such tables.
Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_view.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
Fixed results of wrong merge that led to misuse of GLR API.
CREATE VIEW statement is not a commit statement.
sql/table.cc:
When resetting TABLE_LIST objects for PS or SP re-execution
set the type of request for metadata lock according to the
operation that will be performed on the table. Do the same
in auxiliary function initializing metadata lock requests
in a table list.
sql/table.h:
When initializing TABLE_LIST objects set the type of request
for metadata lock according to the operation that will be
performed on the table.
sql/transaction.cc:
Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
Add a wait-for graph based deadlock detector to the
MDL subsystem.
