By design, InnoDB has always hung when permanently running out of
buffer pool, for example when several threads are waiting to allocate
a block, and all of the buffer pool is buffer-fixed by the active threads.
The hang that we are fixing here occurs when the buffer pool is only
temporarily running out and the situation could be rescued by writing out
some dirty pages or evicting some clean pages.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Simplify the way how we wait for
the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. This fixes occasional hangs
of the test encryption.innochecksum that were introduced by
commit a55b951e60 (MDEV-26827).
To play it safe, we use a timed wait when waiting for the
buf_flush_page_cleaner() thread to perform its job. Should that
thread get stuck, we will invoke buf_pool.LRU_warn() in order to
display a message that pages could not be freed, and keep trying
to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner() thread.
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters
buffer_LRU_single_flush_failure_count and
buffer_LRU_get_free_waits will be removed.
The latter is represented by buffer_pool_wait_free.
Also removed will be the message
"InnoDB: Difficult to find free blocks in the buffer pool"
because in d34479dc66 we
introduced a more precise message
"InnoDB: Could not free any blocks in the buffer pool"
in the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread.
buf_pool_t::LRU_warn(): Issue the warning message that we could
not free any blocks in the buffer pool. This may also be invoked
by buf_LRU_get_free_block() if buf_flush_page_cleaner() appears
to be stuck.
buf_pool_t::n_flush_dec(): Remove.
buf_pool_t::n_flush_dec_holding_mutex(): Rename to n_flush_dec().
buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Increment the eviction counter for blocks
of temporary, discarded or dropped tablespaces.
buf_flush_LRU(): Make static, and remove the constant parameter
evict=false. The only caller will be the buf_flush_page_cleaner()
thread.
IORequest::is_LRU(): Remove. The only case of evicting pages on
write completion will be when we are writing out pages of the
temporary tablespace. Those pages are not in buf_pool.flush_list,
only in buf_pool.LRU.
buf_page_t::flush(): Remove the parameter evict.
buf_page_t::write_complete(): Change the parameter "bool temporary"
to "bool persistent" and add a parameter for an already read state().

try to make them less confusing for users.
Hopefully, if the version string will be changed like
- mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.2-MariaDB for Linux (x86_64)
+ mariadb from 10.11.2-MariaDB, client 15.1 for Linux (x86_64)
users will be less inclined to reply "15.1" to the question
"what mariadb version are you using?"
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.

As noted in MDEV-11947, we should disable the InnoDB doublewrite buffer
during the tests, because when rewriting page checksums, innochecksum
would skip the pages that are in the doublewrite buffer area. Because
the doublewrite buffer is emptied on server startup and not shutdown,
we should initially start with the doublewrite buffer disabled, so that
there will be no warning messages for wrong page checksums in the
doublewrite buffer.
Also, correct the obvious typo where restart_options should have been
$restart_parameters, so that InnoDB is actually verifying that the
checksums were rewritten.

The failure happened because 5.7 has changed the signature of
the bool handler::primary_key_is_clustered() const
