Some GNU/Linux distributions ship a zlib that is modified to use
the s390x DFLTCC instruction. That modification would essentially
redefine compressBound(sourceLen) as (sourceLen * 16 + 2308) / 8 + 6.
Let us relax the tests for InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED to cope with
such a weaker compression guarantee.
create_table_info_t::row_size_is_acceptable(): Remove a bogus debug-only
assertion that would fail to hold for the test innodb_zip.bug36169.
The function page_zip_empty_size() may indeed return 0.
It's misleading to compare and write to user number of columns and fields.
Thus, it would be better to remove that check and let use see a subsequent
error message about missing or mispaced column.
row_import::match_schema(): remove misleading check
The InnoDB redo log used to be formatted in blocks of 512 bytes.
The log blocks were encrypted and the checksum was calculated while
holding log_sys.mutex, creating a serious scalability bottleneck.
We remove the fixed-size redo log block structure altogether and
essentially turn every mini-transaction into a log block of its own.
This allows encryption and checksum calculations to be performed
on local mtr_t::m_log buffers, before acquiring log_sys.mutex.
The mutex only protects a memcpy() of the data to the shared
log_sys.buf, as well as the padding of the log, in case the
to-be-written part of the log would not end in a block boundary of
the underlying storage. For now, the "padding" consists of writing
a single NUL byte, to allow recovery and mariadb-backup to detect
the end of the circular log faster.
Like the previous implementation, we will overwrite the last log block
over and over again, until it has been completely filled. It would be
possible to write only up to the last completed block (if no more
recent write was requested), or to write dummy FILE_CHECKPOINT records
to fill the incomplete block, by invoking the currently disabled
function log_pad(). This would require adjustments to some logic around
log checkpoints, page flushing, and shutdown.
An upgrade after a crash of any previous version is not supported.
Logically empty log files from a previous version will be upgraded.
An attempt to start up InnoDB without a valid ib_logfile0 will be
refused. Previously, the redo log used to be created automatically
if it was missing. Only with with innodb_force_recovery=6, it is
possible to start InnoDB in read-only mode even if the log file
does not exist. This allows the contents of a possibly corrupted
database to be dumped.
Because a prepared backup from an earlier version of mariadb-backup
will create a 0-sized log file, we will allow an upgrade from such
log files, provided that the FIL_PAGE_FILE_FLUSH_LSN in the system
tablespace looks valid.
The 512-byte log checkpoint blocks at 0x200 and 0x600 will be replaced
with 64-byte log checkpoint blocks at 0x1000 and 0x2000.
The start of log records will move from 0x800 to 0x3000. This allows us
to use 4096-byte aligned blocks for all I/O in a future revision.
We extend the MDEV-12353 redo log record format as follows.
(1) Empty mini-transactions or extra NUL bytes will not be allowed.
(2) The end-of-minitransaction marker (a NUL byte) will be replaced
with a 1-bit sequence number, which will be toggled each time when the
circular log file wraps back to the beginning.
(3) After the sequence bit, a CRC-32C checksum of all data
(excluding the sequence bit) will written.
(4) If the log is encrypted, 8 bytes will be written before
the checksum and included in it. This is part of the
initialization vector (IV) of encrypted log data.
(5) File names, page numbers, and checkpoint information will not be
encrypted. Only the payload bytes of page-level log will be encrypted.
The tablespace ID and page number will form part of the IV.
(6) For padding, arbitrary-length FILE_CHECKPOINT records may be written,
with all-zero payload, and with the normal end marker and checksum.
The minimum size is 7 bytes, or 7+8 with innodb_encrypt_log=ON.
In mariadb-backup and in Galera snapshot transfer (SST) scripts, we will
no longer remove ib_logfile0 or create an empty ib_logfile0. Server startup
will require a valid log file. When resizing the log, we will create
a logically empty ib_logfile101 at the current LSN and use an atomic rename
to replace ib_logfile0 with it. See the test innodb.log_file_size.
Because there is no mandatory padding in the log file, we are able
to create a dummy log file as of an arbitrary log sequence number.
See the test mariabackup.huge_lsn.
The parameter innodb_log_write_ahead_size and the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counter log_padded will be removed.
The minimum value of innodb_log_buffer_size will be increased to 2MiB
(because log_sys.buf will replace recv_sys.buf) and the increment
adjusted to 4096 bytes (the maximum log block size).
The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed:
os_log_fsyncs
os_log_pending_fsyncs
log_pending_log_flushes
log_pending_checkpoint_writes
The following status variables will be removed:
Innodb_os_log_fsyncs (this is included in Innodb_data_fsyncs)
Innodb_os_log_pending_fsyncs (this was limited to at most 1 by design)
log_sys.get_block_size(): Return the physical block size of the log file.
This is only implemented on Linux and Microsoft Windows for now, and for
the power-of-2 block sizes between 64 and 4096 bytes (the minimum and
maximum size of a checkpoint block). If the block size is anything else,
the traditional 512-byte size will be used via normal file system
buffering.
If the file system buffers can be bypassed, a message like the following
will be issued:
InnoDB: File system buffers for log disabled (block size=512 bytes)
InnoDB: File system buffers for log disabled (block size=4096 bytes)
This has been tested on Linux and Microsoft Windows with both sizes.
On Linux, only enable O_DIRECT on the log for innodb_flush_method=O_DSYNC.
Tests in 3 different environments where the log is stored in a device
with a physical block size of 512 bytes are yielding better throughput
without O_DIRECT. This could be due to the fact that in the event the
last log block is being overwritten (if multiple transactions would
become durable at the same time, and each of will write a small
number of bytes to the last log block), it should be faster to re-copy
data from log_sys.buf or log_sys.flush_buf to the kernel buffer,
to be finally written at fdatasync() time.
The parameter innodb_flush_method=O_DSYNC will imply O_DIRECT for
data files. This option will enable O_DIRECT on the log file on Linux.
It may be unsafe to use when the storage device does not support
FUA (Force Unit Access) mode.
When the server is compiled WITH_PMEM=ON, we will use memory-mapped
I/O for the log file if the log resides on a "mount -o dax" device.
We will identify PMEM in a start-up message:
InnoDB: log sequence number 0 (memory-mapped); transaction id 3
On Linux, we will also invoke mmap() on any ib_logfile0 that resides
in /dev/shm, effectively treating the log file as persistent memory.
This should speed up "./mtr --mem" and increase the test coverage of
PMEM on non-PMEM hardware. It also allows users to estimate how much
the performance would be improved by installing persistent memory.
On other tmpfs file systems such as /run, we will not use mmap().
mariadb-backup: Eliminated several variables. We will refer
directly to recv_sys and log_sys.
backup_wait_for_lsn(): Detect non-progress of
xtrabackup_copy_logfile(). In this new log format with
arbitrary-sized blocks, we can only detect log file overrun
indirectly, by observing that the scanned log sequence number
is not advancing.
xtrabackup_copy_logfile(): On PMEM, do not modify the sequence bit,
because we are not allowed to modify the server's log file, and our
memory mapping is read-only.
trx_flush_log_if_needed_low(): Do not use the callback on pmem.
Using neither flush_lock nor write_lock around PMEM writes seems
to yield the best performance. The pmem_persist() calls may
still be somewhat slower than the pwrite() and fdatasync() based
interface (PMEM mounted without -o dax).
recv_sys_t::buf: Remove. We will use log_sys.buf for parsing.
recv_sys_t::MTR_SIZE_MAX: Replaces RECV_SCAN_SIZE.
recv_sys_t::file_checkpoint: Renamed from mlog_checkpoint_lsn.
recv_sys_t, log_sys_t: Removed many data members.
recv_sys.lsn: Renamed from recv_sys.recovered_lsn.
recv_sys.offset: Renamed from recv_sys.recovered_offset.
log_sys.buf_size: Replaces srv_log_buffer_size.
recv_buf: A smart pointer that wraps log_sys.buf[recv_sys.offset]
when the buffer is being allocated from the memory heap.
recv_ring: A smart pointer that wraps a circular log_sys.buf[] that is
backed by ib_logfile0. The pointer will wrap from recv_sys.len
(log_sys.file_size) to log_sys.START_OFFSET. For the record that
wraps around, we may copy file name or record payload data to
the auxiliary buffer decrypt_buf in order to have a contiguous
block of memory. The maximum size of a record is less than
innodb_page_size bytes.
recv_sys_t::parse(): Take the smart pointer as a template parameter.
Do not temporarily add a trailing NUL byte to FILE_ records, because
we are not supposed to modify the memory-mapped log file. (It is
attached in read-write mode already during recovery.)
recv_sys_t::parse_mtr(): Wrapper for recv_sys_t::parse().
recv_sys_t::parse_pmem(): Like parse_mtr(), but if PREMATURE_EOF would be
returned on PMEM, use recv_ring to wrap around the buffer to the start.
mtr_t::finish_write(), log_close(): Do not enforce log_sys.max_buf_free
on PMEM, because it has no meaning on the mmap-based log.
log_sys.write_to_buf: Count writes to log_sys.buf. Replaces
srv_stats.log_write_requests and export_vars.innodb_log_write_requests.
Protected by log_sys.mutex. Updated consistently in log_close().
Previously, mtr_t::commit() conditionally updated the count,
which was inconsistent.
log_sys.write_to_log: Count swaps of log_sys.buf and log_sys.flush_buf,
for writing to log_sys.log (the ib_logfile0). Replaces
srv_stats.log_writes and export_vars.innodb_log_writes.
Protected by log_sys.mutex.
log_sys.waits: Count waits in append_prepare(). Replaces
srv_stats.log_waits and export_vars.innodb_log_waits.
recv_recover_page(): Do not unnecessarily acquire
log_sys.flush_order_mutex. We are inserting the blocks in arbitary
order anyway, to be adjusted in recv_sys.apply(true).
We will change the definition of flush_lock and write_lock to
avoid potential false sharing. Depending on sizeof(log_sys) and
CPU_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE, the flush_lock and write_lock could
share a cache line with each other or with the last data members
of log_sys.
Thanks to Matthias Leich for providing https://rr-project.org traces
for various failures during the development, and to
Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani for his help in debugging
some of the recovery code. And thanks to the developers of the
rr debugger for a tool without which extensive changes to InnoDB
would be very challenging to get right.
Thanks to Vladislav Vaintroub for useful feedback and
to him, Axel Schwenke and Krunal Bauskar for testing the performance.
The InnoDB DATA DIRECTORY attribute is not implemented via
symbolic links but something similar, *.isl files that contain
the names of data files.
InnoDB failed to ignore the DATA DIRECTORY attribute even though
the server was started with --skip-symbolic-links.
Native ALTER TABLE in InnoDB will retain the DATA DIRECTORY attribute
of the table, no matter if the table will be rebuilt or not.
Generic ALTER TABLE (with ALGORITHM=COPY) as well as TRUNCATE TABLE
will discard the DATA DIRECTORY attribute.
All tests have been run with and without the ./mtr option
--mysqld=--skip-symbolic-links
and some tests that use the InnoDB DATA DIRECTORY attribute
have been adjusted for this.
ALTER TABLE IMPORT doesn't properly handle instant alter metadata.
This patch makes IMPORT read, parse and apply instant alter metadata at the
very beginning of operation. So, cases when source table has some metadata
and destination table doesn't have it now works fine.
DISCARD already removes instant metadata so importing normal table into
instant table worked fine before this patch.
decrypt_decompress(): decrypts and decompresses page if needed
handle_instant_metadata(): this should be the first thing to read source
table. Basically, it applies instant metadata to a destination
dict_table_t object. This is the first thing to read FSP flags so
all possible checks of it were moved to this function.
PageConverter::update_index_page(): it doesn't now read instant metadata.
This logic were moved into handle_instant_metadata()
row_import::match_flags(): this is a first part row_import::match_schema().
As a separate function it's used by handle_instant_metadata().
fil_space_t::is_full_crc32_compressed(): added convenient function
ha_innobase::discard_or_import_tablespace(): do not reload table definition
to read instant metadata because handle_instant_metadata() does it better.
The reverted code was originally added in
4e7ee166a9
ANONYMOUS_VAR: this is a handy thing to use along with make_scope_exit()
full_crc32_import.test shows different results, because no
dict_table_close() and dict_table_open_on_id() happens.
Thus, SHOW CREATE TABLE shows a little bit older table definition.
This essentially reverts commit 4e89ec6692
and only disables InnoDB persistent statistics for tests where it is
desirable. By design, InnoDB persistent statistics will not be updated
except by ANALYZE TABLE or by STATS_AUTO_RECALC.
The internal transactions that update persistent InnoDB statistics
in background tasks (with innodb_stats_auto_recalc=ON) may cause
nondeterministic query plans or interfere with some tests that deal
with other InnoDB internals, such as the purge of transaction history.
InnoDB tablespace identifiers and page numbers are 32-bit numbers.
Let us use a 32-bit type for them in innochecksum.
The changes in commit 1918bdf32c
broke the build on 32-bit Windows.
Thanks to Vicențiu Ciorbaru for an initial version of this fixup.
Let us simply refuse an upgrade from earlier versions if the
upgrade procedure was not followed. This simplifies the purge,
commit, and rollback of transactions.
Before upgrading to MariaDB 10.3 or later, a clean shutdown
of the server (with innodb_fast_shutdown=1 or 0) is necessary,
to ensure that any incomplete transactions are rolled back.
The undo log format was changed in MDEV-12288. There is only
one persistent undo log for each transaction.
This is a complete rewrite of DROP TABLE, also as part of other DDL,
such as ALTER TABLE, CREATE TABLE...SELECT, TRUNCATE TABLE.
The background DROP TABLE queue hack is removed.
If a transaction needs to drop and create a table by the same name
(like TRUNCATE TABLE does), it must first rename the table to an
internal #sql-ib name. No committed version of the data dictionary
will include any #sql-ib tables, because whenever a transaction
renames a table to a #sql-ib name, it will also drop that table.
Either the rename will be rolled back, or the drop will be committed.
Data files will be unlinked after the transaction has been committed
and a FILE_RENAME record has been durably written. The file will
actually be deleted when the detached file handle returned by
fil_delete_tablespace() will be closed, after the latches have been
released. It is possible that a purge of the delete of the SYS_INDEXES
record for the clustered index will execute fil_delete_tablespace()
concurrently with the DDL transaction. In that case, the thread that
arrives later will wait for the other thread to finish.
HTON_TRUNCATE_REQUIRES_EXCLUSIVE_USE: A new handler flag.
ha_innobase::truncate() now requires that all other references to
the table be released in advance. This was implemented by Monty.
ha_innobase::delete_table(): If CREATE TABLE..SELECT is detected,
we will "hijack" the current transaction, drop the table in
the current transaction and commit the current transaction.
This essentially fixes MDEV-21602. There is a FIXME comment about
making the check less failure-prone.
ha_innobase::truncate(), ha_innobase::delete_table():
Implement a fast path for temporary tables. We will no longer allow
temporary tables to use the adaptive hash index.
dict_table_t::mdl_name: The original table name for the purpose of
acquiring MDL in purge, to prevent a race condition between a
DDL transaction that is dropping a table, and purge processing
undo log records of DML that had executed before the DDL operation.
For #sql-backup- tables during ALTER TABLE...ALGORITHM=COPY, the
dict_table_t::mdl_name will differ from dict_table_t::name.
dict_table_t::parse_name(): Use mdl_name instead of name.
dict_table_rename_in_cache(): Update mdl_name.
For the internal FTS_ tables of FULLTEXT INDEX, purge would
acquire MDL on the FTS_ table name, but not on the main table,
and therefore it would be able to run concurrently with a
DDL transaction that is dropping the table. Previously, the
DROP TABLE queue hack prevented a race between purge and DDL.
For now, we introduce purge_sys.stop_FTS() to prevent purge from
opening any table, while a DDL transaction that may drop FTS_
tables is in progress. The function fts_lock_table(), which will
be invoked before the dictionary is locked, will wait for
purge to release any table handles.
trx_t::drop_table_statistics(): Drop statistics for the table.
This replaces dict_stats_drop_index(). We will drop or rename
persistent statistics atomically as part of DDL transactions.
On lock conflict for dropping statistics, we will fail instantly
with DB_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT, because we will be holding the
exclusive data dictionary latch.
trx_t::commit_cleanup(): Separated from trx_t::commit_in_memory().
Relax an assertion around fts_commit() and allow DB_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT
in addition to DB_DUPLICATE_KEY. The call to fts_commit() is
entirely misplaced here and may obviously break the consistency
of transactions that affect FULLTEXT INDEX. It needs to be fixed
separately.
dict_table_t::n_foreign_key_checks_running: Remove (MDEV-21175).
The counter was a work-around for missing meta-data locking (MDL)
on the SQL layer, and not really needed in MariaDB.
ER_TABLE_IN_FK_CHECK: Replaced with ER_UNUSED_28.
HA_ERR_TABLE_IN_FK_CHECK: Remove.
row_ins_check_foreign_constraints(): Do not acquire
dict_sys.latch either. The SQL-layer MDL will protect us.
This was reviewed by Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani
and tested by Matthias Leich.
Many InnoDB data dictionary cache operations require that the
table name be copied so that it will be NUL terminated.
(For example, SYS_TABLES.NAME is not guaranteed to be NUL-terminated.)
dict_table_t::is_garbage_name(): Check if a name belongs to
the background drop table queue.
dict_check_if_system_table_exists(): Remove.
dict_sys_t::load_sys_tables(): Load the non-hard-coded system tables
SYS_FOREIGN, SYS_FOREIGN_COLS, SYS_VIRTUAL on startup.
dict_sys_t::create_or_check_sys_tables(): Replaces
dict_create_or_check_foreign_constraint_tables() and
dict_create_or_check_sys_virtual().
dict_sys_t::load_table(): Replaces dict_table_get_low()
and dict_load_table().
dict_sys_t::find_table(): Renamed from get_table().
dict_sys_t::sys_tables_exist(): Check whether all the non-hard-coded
tables SYS_FOREIGN, SYS_FOREIGN_COLS, SYS_VIRTUAL exist.
trx_t::has_stats_table_lock(): Moved to dict0stats.cc.
Some error messages will now report table names in the internal
databasename/tablename format, instead of `databasename`.`tablename`.
Ever since MDEV-24589, MDEV-18518 and other recent changes corrected the
rollback of CREATE and DROP operations, there is no need to crash the
server if we run out of space during a DROP operation. We can simply
let the transaction be rolled back.
This patch changes the main name of 3 byte character set from utf8 to
utf8mb3. New old_mode UTF8_IS_UTF8MB3 is added and set TRUE by default,
so that utf8 would mean utf8mb3. If not set, utf8 would mean utf8mb4.
A side effect of the MDEV-24589 bug fix is that if
FLUSH TABLE...FOR EXPORT is initiated before the history of an
earlier DROP INDEX operation has been purged, then the data file
will contain allocated pages that belonged to the dropped indexes.
These pages would never be freed after a subsequent IMPORT TABLESPACE.
We will work around this regression by making IMPORT TABLESPACE
tolerate pages that refer to an unknown index.
Historically, InnoDB supported a buggy page checksum algorithm that did not
compute a checksum over the full page. Later, well before MySQL 4.1
introduced .ibd files and the innodb_file_per_table option, the algorithm
was corrected and the first 4 bytes of each page were redefined to be
a checksum.
The original checksum was so slow that an option to disable page checksum
was introduced for benchmarketing purposes.
The Intel Nehalem microarchitecture introduced the SSE4.2 instruction set
extension, which includes instructions for faster computation of CRC-32C.
In MySQL 5.6 (and MariaDB 10.0), innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 was
implemented to make of that. As that option was changed to be the default
in MySQL 5.7, a bug was found on big-endian platforms and some work-around
code was added to weaken that checksum further. MariaDB disables that
work-around by default since MDEV-17958.
Later, SIMD-accelerated CRC-32C has been implemented in MariaDB for POWER
and ARM and also for IA-32/AMD64, making use of carry-less multiplication
where available.
Long story short, innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 is faster and more secure
than the pre-MySQL 5.6 checksum, called innodb_checksum_algorithm=innodb.
It should have removed any need to use innodb_checksum_algorithm=none.
The setting innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 is the default in
MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB Server 10.2, 10.3, 10.4. In MariaDB 10.5,
MDEV-19534 made innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 the default.
It is even faster and more secure.
The default settings in MariaDB do allow old data files to be read,
no matter if a worse checksum algorithm had been used.
(Unfortunately, before innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32,
the data files did not identify which checksum algorithm is being used.)
The non-default settings innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_crc32 or
innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_full_crc32 would only allow CRC-32C
checksums. The incompatibility with old data files is why they are
not the default.
The newest server not to support innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32
were MySQL 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5. Both have reached their end of life.
A valid reason for using innodb_checksum_algorithm=innodb could have
been the ability to downgrade. If it is really needed, data files
can be converted with an older version of the innochecksum utility.
Because there is no good reason to allow data files to be written
with insecure checksums, we will reject those option values:
innodb_checksum_algorithm=none
innodb_checksum_algorithm=innodb
innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_none
innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_innodb
Furthermore, the following innochecksum options will be removed,
because only strict crc32 will be supported:
innochecksum --strict-check=crc32
innochecksum -C crc32
innochecksum --write=crc32
innochecksum -w crc32
If a user wishes to convert a data file to use a different checksum
(so that it might be used with the no-longer-supported
MySQL 5.5 or MariaDB 5.5, which do not support IMPORT TABLESPACE
nor system tablespace format changes that were made in MariaDB 10.3),
then the innochecksum tool from MariaDB 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 or
MySQL 5.7 can be used.

The InnoDB internal tables SYS_TABLESPACES and SYS_DATAFILES as well as the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES and INNODB_SYS_DATAFILES
were introduced in MySQL 5.6 for no good reason in
mysql/mysql-server/commit/e9255a22ef16d612a8076bc0b34002bc5a784627
when the InnoDB support for the DATA DIRECTORY attribute was introduced.
The file system should be the authoritative source of information on files.
Storing information about file system paths in the file system (symlinks,
or even the .isl files that were unfortunately chosen as the solution) is
sufficient. If information is additionally stored in some hidden tables
inside the InnoDB system tablespace, everything unnecessarily becomes
more complicated, because more copies of data mean more opportunity
for the copies to be out of sync, and because modifying the data in
the system tablespace in the desired way might not be possible at all
without modifying the InnoDB source code. So, the copy in the system
tablespace basically is a redundant, non-authoritative source of
information.
We will stop creating or accessing the system tables SYS_TABLESPACES
and SYS_DATAFILES.
We will also remove the view
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_SYS_DATAFILES along with SYS_DATAFILES.
The view
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES will be repurposed
to directly reflect fil_system.space_list. The column
PAGE_SIZE, which would always contain the value of
the GLOBAL read-only variable innodb_page_size, is
removed. The column ZIP_PAGE_SIZE, which would actually
contain the physical page size of a page, is renamed to
PAGE_SIZE. Finally, a new column FILENAME is added, as a
replacement of SYS_DATAFILES.PATH.
This will also
address MDEV-21801 (files that were created before upgrading
to MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB 10.0 or later were never registered
in SYS_TABLESPACES or SYS_DATAFILES) and
MDEV-21801 (information about the system tablespace is not stored
in SYS_TABLESPACES or SYS_DATAFILES).
Let us introduce the parameter innodb_read_only_compressed
that is ON by default, making any ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED tables
read-only.
I developed the ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED format based on
Heikki Tuuri's rough design between 2005 and 2008. It might
have been a good idea back then, but no proper benchmarks were
ever run to validate the design or the implementation.
The format has been more or less obsolete for years.
It limits innodb_page_size to 16384 bytes (the default),
and instant ALTER TABLE is not supported.
This is the first step towards deprecating and removing
write support for ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED tables.
The background DROP TABLE queue may be blocked for some more time
due to MDEV-16678. Let us apply similar adjustments as earlier:
commit 6af00b2cc6
commit 89633995e4
commit ccd87d34a4
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.
The test innodb.innodb_wl6326 that had been disabled in 10.4 due to
MDEV-21535 is failing on 10.5 due to a different reason: the removal
of the MLOG_COMP_END_COPY_CREATED operations in MDEV-12353
commit 276f996af9 caused PAGE_LAST_INSERT
to be set to something nonzero by the function page_copy_rec_list_end().
This in turn would cause btr_page_get_split_rec_to_right() to behave
differently: we would not attempt to split the page at all, but simply
insert the new record into the new, empty, right leaf page.
Even though the change reduced the sizes of some tables, it is better
to aim for balanced trees.
page_copy_rec_list_end(), PageBulk::finishPage():
Preserve PAGE_LAST_INSERT, PAGE_N_DIRECTION, PAGE_DIRECTION.
PageBulk::finish(): Move some common code from PageBulk::finishPage().
