Warnings are added to net_server.cc when
global_system_variables.log_warnings >= 4.
When the above condition holds then:
- All communication errors from net_serv.cc is also written to the
error log.
- In case of a of not being able to read or write a packet, a more
detailed error is given.
Other things:
- Added detection of slaves that has hangup to Ack_receiver::run()
- vio_close() is now first marking the socket closed before closing it.
The reason for this is to ensure that the connection that gets a read
error can check if the reason was that the socket was closed.
- Add a new state to vio to be able to detect if vio is acive, shutdown or
closed. This is used to detect if socket is closed by another thread.
- Testing of the new warnings is done in rpl_get_lock.test
- Suppress some of the new warnings in mtr to allow one to run some of
the tests with -mysqld=--log-warnings=4. All test in the 'rpl' suite
can now be run with this option.
- Ensure that global.log_warnings are restored at test end in a way
that allows one to use mtr --mysqld=--log-warnings=4.

rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled_consistent.test and the first part of
the commit message comes from Brandon Nesterenko.
A test to show how to induce the "Read semi-sync reply magic number
error" message on a primary. In short, if semi-sync is turned on
during the hand-shake process between a primary and replica, but
later a user negates the rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled variable while
the replica's IO thread is running; if the io thread exits, the
replica can skip a necessary call to kill_connection() in
repl_semisync_slave.slave_stop() due to its reliance on a global
variable. Then, the replica will send a COM_QUIT packet to the
primary on an active semi-sync connection, causing the magic number
error.
The test in this patch exits the IO thread by forcing an error;
though note a call to STOP SLAVE could also do this, but it ends up
needing more synchronization. That is, the STOP SLAVE command also
tries to kill the VIO of the replica, which makes a race with the IO
thread to try and send the COM_QUIT before this happens (which would
need more debug_sync to get around). See THD::awake_no_mutex for
details as to the killing of the replica’s vio.
Notes:
- The MariaDB documentation does not make it clear that when one
enables semi-sync replication it does not matter if one enables
it first in the master or slave. Any order works.
Changes done:
- The rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled variable is now a default value for
when semisync is started. The variable does not anymore affect
semisync if it is already running. This fixes the original reported
bug. Internally we now use repl_semisync_slave.get_slave_enabled()
instead of rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled. To check if semisync is
active on should check the @@rpl_semi_sync_slave_status variable (as
before).
- The semisync protocol conflicts in the way that the original
MySQL/MariaDB client-server protocol was designed (client-server
send and reply packets are strictly ordered and includes a packet
number to allow one to check if a packet is lost). When using
semi-sync the master and slave can send packets at 'any time', so
packet numbering does not work. The 'solution' has been that each
communication starts with packet number 1, but in some cases there
is still a chance that the packet number check can fail. Fixed by
adding a flag (pkt_nr_can_be_reset) in the NET struct that one can
use to signal that packet number checking should not be done. This
is flag is set when semi-sync is used.
- Added Master_info::semi_sync_reply_enabled to allow one to configure
some slaves with semisync and other other slaves without semisync.
Removed global variable semi_sync_need_reply that would not work
with multi-master.
- Repl_semi_sync_master::report_reply_packet() can now recognize
the COM_QUIT packet from semisync slave and not give a
"Read semi-sync reply magic number error" error for this case.
The slave will be removed from the Ack listener.
- On Windows, don't stop semisync Ack listener just because one
slave connection is using socket_id > FD_SETSIZE.
- Removed busy loop in Ack_receiver::run() by using
"Self-pipe trick" to signal new slave and stop Ack_receiver.
- Changed some Repl_semi_sync_slave functions that always returns 0
from int to void.
- Added Repl_semi_sync_slave::slave_reconnect().
- Removed dummy_function Repl_semi_sync_slave::reset_slave().
- Removed some duplicate semisync notes from the error log.
- Add test of "if (get_slave_enabled() && semi_sync_need_reply)"
before calling Repl_semi_sync_slave::slave_reply().
(Speeds up the code as we can skip all initializations).
- If epl_semisync_slave.slave_reply() fails, we disable semisync
for that connection.
- We do not call semisync.switch_off() if there are no active slaves.
Instead we check in Repl_semi_sync_master::commit_trx() if there are
no active threads. This simplices the code.
- Changed assert() to DBUG_ASSERT() to ensure that the DBUG log is
flushed in case of asserts.
- Removed the internal rpl_semi_sync_slave_status as it is not needed
anymore. The @@rpl_semi_sync_slave_status status variable is now
mapped to rpl_semi_sync_enabled.
- Removed rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled as it is not needed anymore.
Repl_semi_sync_slave::get_slave_enabled() contains the active status.
- Added checking that we do not add a slave twice with
Ack_receiver::add_slave(). This could happen with old code.
- Removed Repl_semi_sync_master::check_and_switch() as it is not
needed anymore.
- Ensure that when we call Ack_receiver::remove_slave() that the slave
is removed from the listener before function returns.
- Call listener.listen_on_sockets() outside of mutex for better
performance and less contested mutex.
- Ensure that listening is ignoring newly added slaves when checking for
responses.
- Fixed the master ack_receiver listener is not killed if there are no
connected slaves (and thus stop semisync handling of future
connections). This could happen if all slaves sockets where would be
marked as unreliable.
- Added unlink() to base_ilist_iterator and remove() to
I_List_iterator. This enables us to remove 'dead' slaves in
Ack_recever::run().
- kill_zombie_dump_threads() now does killing of dump threads properly.
- It can now kill several threads (should be impossible but could
happen if IO slaves reconnects very fast).
- We now wait until the dump thread is done before starting the
dump.
- Added an error if kill_zombie_dump_threads() fails.
- Set thd->variables.server_id before calling
kill_zombie_dump_threads(). This simplies the code.
- Added a lot of comments both in code and tests.
- Removed DBUG_EVALUATE_IF "failed_slave_start" as it is not used.
Test changes:
- rpl.rpl_session_var2 added which runs rpl.rpl_session_var test with
semisync enabled.
- Some timings changed slight with startup of slave which caused
rpl_binlog_dump_slave_gtid_state_info.text to fail as it checked the
error log file before the slave had started properly. Fixed by
adding wait_for_pattern_in_file.inc that allows waiting for the
pattern to appear in the log file.
- Tests have been updated so that we first set
rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled on the master and then set
rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled on the slaves (this is according to how
the MariaDB documentation document how to setup semi-sync).
- Error text "Master server does not have semi-sync enabled" has been
replaced with "Master server does not support semi-sync" for the
case when the master supports semi-sync but semi-sync is not
enabled.
Other things:
- Some trivial cleanups in Repl_semi_sync_master::update_sync_header().
- We should in 11.3 changed the default value for
rpl-semi-sync-master-wait-no-slave from TRUE to FALSE as the TRUE
does not make much sense as default. The main difference with using
FALSE is that we do not wait for semisync Ack if there are no slave
threads. In the case of TRUE we wait once, which did not bring any
notable benefits except slower startup of master configured for
using semisync.

This solves the problem reported in MDEV-32960 where a new
slave may not be registered in time and the master disables
semi sync because of that.
... on semisync slave
To provide semisync master crash-recovery the same server-id transactions
were made to accept for execution on the semisync slave when the strict gtid
mode (see MDEV-27760).
That however caused out-of-order error on a master's transaction
server of the circular setup.
The error was fair in the sense of the gtid strict mode rule as indeed
under the condition of the circular setup the replicated transaction
already exists in the local binlog.
This is fixed by the commit to ignore on the gtid strict mode semisync
slave those gtids that exist in the slave's binlog that effectively restores
the default same-server-id ignore policy.
At the same time the fixes complies with MDEV-21117 semisync slave recovery
to accept the same server-id transactions that do not exist in local binlog.
Analysis:
========
In case multi binlog truncation scenario debug sync points are in the
following order.
Two inserts are done on master as shown below.
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (4, REPEAT("x", 4100)
commit_after_release_LOCK_after_binlog_sync
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (5, REPEAT("x", 4100)
commit_after_release_LOCK_log
First insert debug sync ensures that transaction is synced to binlog and
not committed but it reached slave through semi sync.
Second insert debug sync ensures that transaction is synced to binlog and
not committed. It doesn't ensure that 'INSERT 5' reached slave.
Most of the times INSERT 5 reaches slave, hence when it is promoted as
master it sends 4,5 to slave. But occasionally 5 may not reach slave in
those cases post recovery master will have only 4. When row 6 is inserted
Master has 4-6 and Slave has 4,5,6.
This results in test failure.
Fix:
===
For the first insert use 'commit_before_get_LOCK_commit_ordered' debug sync
point, it will ensure that binlog was sent to slave and slave has
acknowledged the receipt. Now enable debug code such that when the next
transaction is written to binary log, dump thread will read and send it
across the network and notify the server to be get killed. Insert row 5
and wait for notification from dump thread. Kill the server. This ensures
that both 4 and 5 have reached the semi-sync slave.
Added a new test case:
Insert two rows on master such that first is present in master's binlog and
reached semi sync slave. Second insert should be flushed to binlog but not
sent to slave. Now crash and fail over to slave. The promoted master will send
the extra transaction to slave.
Problem:
=======
When the semisync master is crashed and restarted as slave it could
recover transactions that former slaves may never have seen.
A known method existed to clear out all prepared transactions
with --tc-heuristic-recover=rollback does not care to adjust
binlog accordingly.
Fix:
===
The binlog-based recovery is made to concern of the slave semisync role of
post-crash restarted server.
No changes in behavior is done to the "normal" binloggging server
and the semisync master.
When the restarted server is configured with
--rpl-semi-sync-slave-enabled=1
the refined recovery attempts to roll back prepared transactions
and truncate binlog accordingly.
In case of a partially committed (that is committed at least
in one of the engine participants) such transaction gets committed.
It's guaranteed no (partially as well) committed transactions
exist beyond the truncate position.
In case there exists a non-transactional replication event
(being in a way a committed transaction) past the
computed truncate position the recovery ends with an error.
As after master crash and failover to slave, the demoted-to-slave
ex-master must be ready to face and accept its own (generated by)
events, without generally necessary --replicate-same-server-id.
So the acceptance conditions are relaxed for the semisync slave
to accept own events without that option.
While gtid_strict_mode ON ensures no duplicate transaction can be
(re-)executed the master_use_gtid=none slave has to be
configured with --replicate-same-server-id.
*NOTE* for reviewers.
This patch does not handle the user XA which is done
in next git commit.
