Before commit 6112853cda in MySQL 4.1.1
introduced the parameter innodb_file_per_table, all InnoDB data was
written to the InnoDB system tablespace (often named ibdata1).
A serious design problem is that once the system tablespace has grown to
some size, it cannot shrink even if the data inside it has been deleted.
There are also other design problems, such as the server hang MDEV-29930
that should only be possible when using innodb_file_per_table=0 and
innodb_undo_tablespaces=0 (storing both tables and undo logs in the
InnoDB system tablespace).
The parameter innodb_change_buffering was deprecated
in commit b5852ffbee.
Starting with commit baf276e6d4
(MDEV-19229) the number of innodb_undo_tablespaces can be increased,
so that the undo logs can be moved out of the system tablespace
of an existing installation.
If all these things (tables, undo logs, and the change buffer) are
removed from the InnoDB system tablespace, the only variable-size
data structure inside it is the InnoDB data dictionary.
DDL operations on .ibd files was optimized in
commit 86dc7b4d4c (MDEV-24626).
That should have removed any thinkable performance advantage of
using innodb_file_per_table=0.
Since there should be no benefit of setting innodb_file_per_table=0,
the parameter should be deprecated. Starting with MySQL 5.6 and
MariaDB Server 10.0, the default value is innodb_file_per_table=1.
Move row size check to early CREATE/ALTER TABLE phase. Stop checking
on table open.
dict_index_add_to_cache(): remove parameter 'strict', stop checking row size
dict_index_t::record_size_info_t: this is a result of row size check operation
create_table_info_t::row_size_is_acceptable(): performs row size check.
Issues error or warning. Writes first overflow field to InnoDB log.
create_table_info_t::create_table(): add row size check
dict_index_t::record_size_info(): this is a refactored version
of dict_index_t::rec_potentially_too_big(). New version doesn't change global
state of a program but return all interesting info. And it's callers who
decide how to handle row size overflow.
dict_index_t::rec_potentially_too_big(): removed

MDEV-10547: Test multi_update_innodb fails with InnoDB 5.7
The failure happened because 5.7 has changed the signature of
the bool handler::primary_key_is_clustered() const
virtual function ("const" was added). InnoDB was using the old
signature which caused the function not to be used.
MDEV-10550: Parallel replication lock waits/deadlock handling does not work with InnoDB 5.7
Fixed mutexing problem on lock_trx_handle_wait. Note that
rpl_parallel and rpl_optimistic_parallel tests still
fail.
