0228c98936 Implementation of simple deadlock detection for metadata locks.
This change is supposed to reduce number of ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
errors which occur when multi-statement transaction encounters
conflicting metadata lock in cases when waiting is possible.

The idea is not to fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when
we encounter conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all
metadata locks acquired by current statement and start to wait
until conflicting lock go away. To avoid deadlocks we use simple
empiric which aborts waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it
turns out that somebody is waiting for metadata locks owned by
this transaction.

This patch also fixes bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989
is not fully fixed in case of ALTER".

The bug was that concurrent execution of UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE
statement as a part of multi-statement transaction that already
has used table being updated and ALTER TABLE statement might have
resulted of loss of isolation between this transaction and ALTER
TABLE statement, which manifested itself as changes performed by
ALTER TABLE becoming visible in transaction and wrong binary log
order as a consequence.

This problem occurred when UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE's wait in
mysql_lock_tables() call was aborted due to metadata lock
upgrade performed by concurrent ALTER TABLE. After such abort all
metadata locks held by transaction were released but transaction
silently continued to be executed as if nothing has happened.

We solve this problem by changing our code not to release all
locks in such case. Instead we release only locks which were
acquired by current statement and then try to reacquire them
by restarting open/lock tables process. We piggyback on simple
deadlock detector implementation since this change has to be
done anyway for it.

mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
  After introduction of basic deadlock detector for metadata locks
  it became necessary to change parts of test for HANDLER statements
  which covered some of scenarios in which ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
  was detected in absence of real deadlock (with new deadlock detector
  this no longer happens).
  Also adjusted test to the fact that HANDLER READ for the table no
  longer will be blocked by ALTER TABLE for the same table which awaits
  for metadata lock upgrade (this is due to removal of mysql_lock_abort()
  from wait_while_table_is_used()).

sql/log_event_old.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Changed metadata locking subsystem to support basic deadlock detection
  with a help of the following simple empiric -- we assume that there is
  a deadlock if there is a connection which has to wait for a metadata
  lock which is currently acquired by some connection which is itself
  waiting to be able to acquire some shared metadata lock.
  
  To implement this change:
  - Added MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/_impl() methods
    which allow to find out if there is someone waiting for metadata
    lock which is held by the connection and therefore deadlocks are
    possible if this connection is going to wait for some metadata lock.
    To do this added version of MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock()
    method which assumes that its caller already owns LOCK_mdl mutex.
  - Changed MDL_context::wait_for_locks() to use one of the above methods
    to check if somebody is waiting for metadata lock owned by this
    context (and therefore deadlock is possible) and emit ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
    error in this case. Also now we mark context of connections waiting
    inside of this method by setting MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl
    member. Thanks to this such connection could be waken up if some
    other connection starts waiting for one of its metadata locks and
    so a deadlock can occur.
  - Adjusted notify_shared_lock() to wake up connections which wait inside
    MDL_context::wait_for_locks() while holding shared metadata lock.
  - Changed MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() to add
    temporary ticket for exclusive lock to MDL_lock::waiting queue, so
    request for metadata lock upgrade can be properly detected by our
    empiric.
    Also now this method invokes a callback which forces transactions
    holding shared metadata lock on the table to call MDL_context::
    can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() method even if they don't need any new
    metadata locks. Thanks to this such transactions can detect deadlocks/
    livelocks between MDL and table-level locks.
  
  Also reduced timeouts between calls to notify_shared_lock()
  in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() and
  MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_locks(). This was necessary
  to get rid of call to mysql_lock_abort() in wait_while_table_is_used().
  (Now we instead rely on notify_shared_lock() timely calling
  mysql_lock_abort_for_thread() for the table on which lock
  is being upgraded/acquired).
sql/mdl.h:
  - Added a version of MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock() method
    to be used in situations when caller already has acquired LOCK_mdl
    mutex.
  - Added MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/_impl() methods
    which allow to find out if there is someone waiting for metadata lock
    which is held by this connection and thus deadlocks are possible if
    this connections will start waiting for some metadata lock.
  - Added MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl member to mark connections
    waiting in MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method of metadata locking
    subsystem. Added getter method for this private member to make it
    accessible in notify_shared_lock() auxiliary so we can wake-up such
    connections if they hold shared metadata locks.
  - Finally, added mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() callback
    to be able force transactions which don't need any new metadata
    locks still call MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() and detect
    some of deadlocks between metadata locks and table-level locks.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Changed approach to metadata locking for multi-statement transactions.
  We no longer fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when we encounter
  conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all metadata locks
  acquired by current statement and start to wait until conflicting
  locks to go away by calling MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method.
  To avoid deadlocks the latter implements simple empiric which aborts
  waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it turns out that somebody
  is waiting for metadata locks owned by this transaction.
  
  To implement the change described above:
  - Introduced Open_table_context::m_start_of_statement_svp member to
    store state of metadata locks at the start of the statement.
  - Changed Open_table_context::request_backoff_action() not to
    fail with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK immediately if back-off is requested
    due to conflicting metadata lock.
  - Added new argument for close_tables_for_reopen() procedure which
    allows to specify subset of metadata locks to be released.
  - Changed open_tables() not to release all metadata locks acquired
    by current transaction when metadata lock conflict is discovered.
    Instead we release only locks acquired by current statement.
  - Changed open_ltable() and open_and_lock_tables_derived() not to emit
    ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error when mysql_lock_tables() is aborted in
    multi-statement transaction when somebody tries to acquire exclusive
    metadata lock on the table. Instead we release metadata locks acquired
    by current statement and try to wait until they can be re-acquired.
  - Adjusted tdc_wait_for_old_versions() to check if there is someone
    waiting for one of metadata locks held by this connection and run
    deadlock detection in order to avoid deadlocks in some
    situations.
  - Added mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() callback which
    allows to force transactions holding shared metadata lock on the
    table to call MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() even if they
    don't need any new metadata locks so they can detect potential
    deadlocks between metadata locking subsystem and table-level locks.
  - Adjusted wait_while_table_is_used() not to set TABLE::version to
    0 as it is now done only when necessary by the above-mentioned
    callback. Also removed unnecessary call to mysql_lock_abort().
    Instead we rely on code performing metadata lock upgrade aborting
    waits on the table-level lock for this table by calling
    mysql_lock_abort_for_thread() (invoked by
    mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock()). In future this should
    allow to reduce number of scenarios in which we produce
    ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error even though no real deadlock exists.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Introduced Open_table_context::m_start_of_statement_svp member to
  store state of metadata locks at the start of the statement.
  Replaced Open_table_context::m_can_deadlock member with m_has_locks
  member to reflect the fact that we no longer unconditionally emit
  ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error for transaction having some metadata locks
  when conflicting metadata lock is discovered.
sql/sql_insert.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_plist.h:
  Made I_P_List_iterator<T, B> usable with const lists.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_update.cc:
  Changed UPDATE and MULTI-UPDATE code not to release all metadata
  locks when calls to mysql_lock_tables() are aborted. Instead we
  release only locks which are acquired by this statement and then
  try to reacquire them by calling open_tables(). This solves
  bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989 is not fully fixed in
  case of ALTER".

Bug #48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks
           against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE

This deadlock occured between
a) CREATE PROCEDURE (or other commands listed below)
b) FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK

If the execution of them happened in the following order:
- a) opens a table (e.g. mysql.proc)
- b) locks the global read lock (or GRL)
- a) sleeps inside wait_if_global_read_lock()
- b) increases refresh_version and sleeps waiting 
     for old tables to go away

Note that a) must start waiting on the GRL before FLUSH increases
refresh_version. Otherwise a) won't wait on the GRL and instead
close its tables for reopen, allowing FLUSH to complete and thus
avoid the deadlock.

With this patch the deadlock is avoided by making CREATE PROCEDURE
acquire a protection against global read locks before it starts
executing. This means that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will have
to wait until CREATE PROCEDURE completes before acquiring the global
read lock, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

This is implemented by introducing a new SQL command flag called
CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL. Commands marked with this flag will
acquire a GRL protection in the beginning of mysql_execute_command().
This patch adds the flag to CREATE, ALTER and DROP for PROCEDURE
and FUNCTION, as well as CREATE USER, DROP USER, RENAME USER and 
REVOKE ALL. All these commands either call open_grant_tables() or
open_system_table_for_updated() which make them susceptible for
this deadlock.

The patch also adds the CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL flag to a number
of commands that previously acquired GRL protection in their
respective SQLCOM case in mysql_execute_command().

Test case that checks for GRL protection for CREATE PROCEDURE
and CREATE USER added to mdl_sync.test.

Bug#42546 Backup: RESTORE fails, thinking it finds an existing table

The problem occured when a MDL locking conflict happened for a non-existent 
table between a CREATE and a INSERT statement. The code for CREATE 
interpreted this lock conflict to mean that the table existed, 
which meant that the statement failed when it should not have.
The problem could occur for CREATE TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE and
ALTER TABLE RENAME.

This patch fixes the problem for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.
It is based on code backported from the mysql-6.1-fk tree written
by Dmitry Lenev. CREATE now uses normal open_and_lock_tables() code 
to acquire exclusive locks. This means that for the test case in the bug 
description, CREATE will wait until INSERT completes so that it can 
get the exclusive lock. This resolves the reported bug.

The patch also prohibits CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE under 
LOCK TABLES. Note that this is an incompatible change and must 
be reflected in the documentation. Affected test cases have been
updated.

mdl_sync.test contains tests for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.

Fixing the issue for ALTER TABLE RENAME is beyond the scope of this
patch. ALTER TABLE cannot be prohibited from working under LOCK TABLES
as this could seriously impact customers and a proper fix would require
a significant rewrite.

  Fix for bug #46673 "Deadlock between FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and DML".

  Deadlocks occured when one concurrently executed transactions with
  several statements modifying data and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
  statement or SET READ_ONLY=1 statement.

  These deadlocks were introduced by the patch for WL 4284: "Transactional
  DDL locking"/Bug 989: "If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction,
  wrong binlog order" which has changed FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/SET
  READ_ONLY=1 to wait for pending transactions.
  What happened was that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK blocked all further
  statements changing tables by setting global_read_lock global variable
  and has started waiting for all pending transactions to complete.
  Then one of those transactions tried to executed DML, detected that
  global_read_lock non-zero and tried to wait until global read lock will
  be released (i.e. global_read_lock becomes 0), indeed, this led to a
  deadlock.

  Proper solution for this problem should probably involve full integration
  of global read lock with metadata locking subsystem (which will allow to
  implement waiting for pending transactions without blocking DML in them).
  But since it requires significant changes another, short-term solution
  for the problem is implemented in this patch.

  Basically, this patch restores behavior of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/
  SET READ_ONLY=1 before the patch for WL 4284/bug 989. By ensuring that
  extra references to TABLE_SHARE are not stored for active metadata locks
  it changes these statements not to wait for pending transactions.
  As result deadlock is eliminated.
  Note that this does not change the fact that active FLUSH TABLES WITH
  READ LOCK lock or SET READ_ONLY=1 prevent modifications to tables as
  they also block transaction commits.

  longer blocked by a pending transaction.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Disable caching of pointers to TABLE_SHARE objects in MDL subsystem.
  This means that transactions holding metadata lock on the table will
  no longer have extra reference to the TABLE_SHARE (due to this lock)
  and will no longer block concurrent FLUSH TABLES/FLUSH TABLES WITH
  READ LOCK. Note that this does not change the fact that FLUSH TABLES
  WITH READ LOCK prevents concurrent transactions from modifying data
  as it also blocks all commits.

  Fix for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE HIGH_PRIORITY
  FOR UPDATE".

  Deadlock occured when during execution of query to I_S we tried to open
  a table or its .FRM in order to get information about it and had to wait
  because we have encountered exclusive metadata lock on this table held by
  a DDL operation from another connection which in its turn waited for some
  resource currently owned by connection executing this I_S query.
  For example, this might have happened if one under LOCK TABLES executed I_S
  query targeted to particular table (which was not among locked) and also
  concurrently tried to create this table using CREATE TABLE SELECT which
  had to wait for one of tables locked by the first connection.
  Another situation in which deadlock might have occured is when I_S query,
  which was executed as part of transaction, tried to get information about
  table which just has been dropped by concurrent DROP TABLES executed under
  LOCK TABLES and this DROP TABLES for its completion also had to wait
  transaction from the first connection.

  This problem stemmed from the fact that opening of tables/.FRMs for I_S
  filling is happening outside of connection's main MDL_context so code
  which tries to detect deadlocks due to conflicting metadata locks doesn't
  work in this case. Indeed, this led to deadlocks when during I_S filling
  we tried to wait for conflicting metadata lock to go away, while its owner
  was waiting for some resource held by connection executing I_S query.

  This patch solves this problem by avoiding waiting in such situation.
  Instead we skip this table and produce warning that information about
  it was omitted from I_S due to concurrent DDL operation. We still wait
  for conflicting metadata lock to go away when it is known that deadlock
  is not possible (i.e. when connection executing I_S query does not hold
  any metadata or table-level locks).
  Basically, we apply our standard deadlock avoidance technique for metadata
  locks to the process of filling of I_S tables but replace ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
  error with a warning.
  Note that this change is supposed to be safe for 'mysqldump' since the
  only its mode which is affected by this change is --single-transaction mode
  is not safe in the presence of concurrent DDL anyway (and this fact is
  documented). Other modes are unaffected because they either use
  SHOW TABLES/SELECT * FROM I_S.TABLE_NAMES which do not take any metadata
  locks in the process of I_S table filling and thus cannot skip tables or
  execute I_S queries for tables which were previously locked by LOCK TABLES
  (or in the presence of global read lock) which excludes possibility of
  encountering conflicting metadata lock.

  these deadlocks we detect such situations and don't do waiting.
  Instead, we skip table for which we have conflicting metadata lock,
  thus omitting information about it from I_S table, and produce an
  appropriate warning.

  Concurrent execution of statements involving stored functions or triggers

  The problem was that during back-off which happens when open_tables()

  of of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context this broke

  This fix ensures that close_tables_for_reopen(), which performs this back-off

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking

This is a prerequisite patch:

These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted
locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to
be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can
now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock
requests, but only shared locks can be recursive.

The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into
granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime
of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of
granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the
burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and
it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks
have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction.

Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to
acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires
that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted
lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is
released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts
as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at
the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake
ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds
a equivalent of the lock being released.

These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level
design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks
in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but
this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys,
requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once.

This patch combines review input and significant code contributions
from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).


mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:

  The MDL request now holds the table and database name data (MDL_KEY).

  Move the MDL key to the MDL_LOCK structure in order to make the
  object suitable for allocation from a fixed-size allocator. This
  allows the simplification of the lists in the MDL_LOCK object,
  which now are just two, one for granted tickets and other for
  waiting (upgraders) tickets.
  
  Recursive requests for a shared lock on the same object can now
  be granted using the same lock ticket. This schema is only used
  for shared locks because that the only case that matters. This
  is used to avoid waste of resources in case a context (connection)
  already holds a shared lock on a object.

  Introduce a metadata lock object key which is used  to uniquely
  identify lock objects.
