There are two threads. In one thread, dml operation is going on
involving cascaded update operation. In another thread, alter
table add foreign key constraint is happening. Under these
circumstances, it is possible for the dml thread to access a
dict_foreign_t object that has been freed by the ddl thread.
The debug sync test case provides the sequence of operations.
Without fix, the test case will crash the server (because of
newly added assert). With fix, the alter table stmt will return
an error message.
Backporting the fix from MySQL 5.5 to 5.1
rb:961
rb:947
This bug was originally filed and fixed as Bug#12612184. The original
fix was buggy, and it was patched by Bug#12704861. Also that patch was
buggy (potentially breaking crash recovery), and both fixes were
reverted.
This fix was not ported to the built-in InnoDB of MySQL 5.1, because
the function signatures of many core functions are different from
InnoDB Plugin and later versions. The block allocation routines and
their callers would have to changed so that they handle block
descriptors instead of page frames.
When a record is updated so that its size grows, non-updated columns
can be selected for external (off-page) storage. The bug is that the
initially inserted updated record contains an all-zero BLOB pointer to
the field that was not updated. Only after the BLOB pages have been
allocated and written, the valid pointer can be written to the record.
Between the release of the page latch in mtr_commit(mtr) after
btr_cur_pessimistic_update() and the re-latching of the page in
btr_pcur_restore_position(), other threads can see the invalid BLOB
pointer consisting of 20 zero bytes. Moreover, if the system crashes
at this point, the situation could persist after crash recovery, and
the contents of the non-updated column would be permanently lost.
The problem is amplified by the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC and
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED that were introduced in
innodb_file_format=barracuda in InnoDB Plugin, but the bug does exist
in all InnoDB versions.
The fix is as follows. After a pessimistic B-tree operation that needs
to write out off-page columns, allocate the pages for these columns in
the mini-transaction that performed the B-tree operation (btr_mtr),
but write the pages in a separate mini-transaction (blob_mtr). Do
mtr_commit(blob_mtr) before mtr_commit(btr_mtr). A quirk: Do not reuse
pages that were previously freed in btr_mtr. Only write the off-page
columns to 'fresh' pages.
In this way, crash recovery will see redo log entries for blob_mtr
before any redo log entry for btr_mtr. It will apply the BLOB page
writes to pages that were marked free at that point. If crash recovery
fails to see all of the btr_mtr redo log, there will be some
unreachable BLOB data in free pages, but the B-tree will be in a
consistent state.
btr_page_alloc_low(): Renamed from btr_page_alloc(). Add the parameter
init_mtr. Return an allocated block, or NULL. If init_mtr!=mtr but
the page was already X-latched in mtr, do not initialize the page.
btr_page_alloc(): Wrapper for btr_page_alloc_for_ibuf() and
btr_page_alloc_low().
btr_page_free(): Add a debug assertion that the page was a B-tree page.
btr_lift_page_up(): Return the father block.
btr_compress(), btr_cur_compress_if_useful(): Add the parameter ibool
adjust, for adjusting the cursor position.
btr_cur_pessimistic_update(): Preserve the cursor position when
big_rec will be written and the new flag BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG is defined.
Remove a duplicate rec_get_offsets() call. Keep the X-latch on
index->lock when big_rec is needed.
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(): Replace update_inplace with
an operation code, and local_mtr with btr_mtr. When not doing a
fresh insert and btr_mtr has freed pages, put aside any pages that
were previously X-latched in btr_mtr, and free the pages after
writing out all data. The data must be written to 'fresh' pages,
because btr_mtr will be committed and written to the redo log after
the BLOB writes have been written to the redo log.
btr_blob_op_is_update(): Check if an operation passed to
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields() is an update or insert-by-update.
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(), fsp_alloc_free_page(),
fseg_alloc_free_extent(), fseg_alloc_free_page_general(): Add the
parameter init_mtr. Return an allocated block, or NULL. If
init_mtr!=mtr but the page was already X-latched in mtr, do not
initialize the page.
xdes_get_descriptor_with_space_hdr(): Assert that the file space
header is being X-latched.
fsp_alloc_from_free_frag(): Refactored from fsp_alloc_free_page().
fsp_page_create(): New function, for allocating, X-latching and
potentially initializing a page. If init_mtr!=mtr but the page was
already X-latched in mtr, do not initialize the page.
fsp_free_page(): Add ut_ad(0) to the error outcomes.
fsp_free_page(), fseg_free_page_low(): Increment mtr->n_freed_pages.
fsp_alloc_seg_inode_page(), fseg_create_general(): Assert that the
page was not previously X-latched in the mini-transaction. A file
segment or inode page should never be allocated in the middle of an
mini-transaction that frees pages, such as btr_cur_pessimistic_delete().
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(): If the hinted page was allocated, skip the
check if the tablespace should be extended. Return NULL instead of
FIL_NULL on failure. Remove the flag frag_page_allocated. Instead,
return directly, because the page would already have been initialized.
fseg_find_free_frag_page_slot() would return ULINT_UNDEFINED on error,
not FIL_NULL. Correct a bogus assertion.
fseg_alloc_free_page(): Redefine as a wrapper macro around
fseg_alloc_free_page_general().
buf_block_buf_fix_inc(): Move the definition from the buf0buf.ic to
buf0buf.h, so that it can be called from other modules.
mtr_t: Add n_freed_pages (number of pages that have been freed).
page_rec_get_nth_const(), page_rec_get_nth(): The inverse function of
page_rec_get_n_recs_before(), get the nth record of the record
list. This is faster than iterating the linked list. Refactored from
page_get_middle_rec().
trx_undo_rec_copy(): Add a debug assertion for the length.
trx_undo_add_page(): Return a block descriptor or NULL instead of a
page number or FIL_NULL.
trx_undo_report_row_operation(): Add debug assertions.
trx_sys_create_doublewrite_buf(): Assert that each page was not
previously X-latched.
page_cur_insert_rec_zip_reorg(): Make use of page_rec_get_nth().
row_ins_clust_index_entry_by_modify(): Pass BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG, so that
the repositioning of the cursor can be avoided.
row_ins_index_entry_low(): Add DEBUG_SYNC points before and after
writing off-page columns. If inserting by updating a delete-marked
record, do not reposition the cursor or commit the mini-transaction
before writing the off-page columns.
row_build(): Tighten a debug assertion about null BLOB pointers.
row_upd_clust_rec(): Add DEBUG_SYNC points before and after writing
off-page columns. Do not reposition the cursor or commit the
mini-transaction before writing the off-page columns.

GRACEFUL SHUTDOWN
During startup mysql picks up .frm files from the tmpdir directory and
tries to drop those tables in the storage engine.
The problem is that when tmpdir ends in / then ha_innobase::delete_table()
is passed a string like "/var/tmp//#sql123", then it wrongly normalizes it
to "/#sql123" and calls row_drop_table_for_mysql() which of course fails
to delete the table entry from the InnoDB dictionary cache.
ha_innobase::delete_table() returns an error but nevertheless mysql wipes
away the .frm file and the entry in the InnoDB dictionary cache remains
orphaned with no easy way to remove it.
The "no easy" way to remove it is to create a similar temporary table again,
copy its .frm file to tmpdir under "#sql123.frm" and restart mysqld with
tmpdir=/var/tmp (no trailing slash) - this way mysql will pick the .frm file
after restart and will try to issue drop table for "/var/tmp/#sql123"
(notice do double slash), ha_innobase::delete_table() will normalize it to
"tmp/#sql123" and row_drop_table_for_mysql() will successfully remove the
table entry from the dictionary cache.
The solution is to fix normalize_table_name_low() to normalize things like
"/var/tmp//table" correctly to "tmp/table".
This patch also adds a test function which invokes
normalize_table_name_low() with various inputs to make sure it works
correctly and a mtr test that calls this test function.

The bug is that in the particular testcase row_search_for_mysql() picked up
a delete-marked record and quit, leaving the cursor non-positioned state and
on the subsequent 'get next' call the code crashed because of the
non-positioned cursor.
In row0sel.cc (line numbers from mysql-trunk):
4653 if (rec_get_deleted_flag(rec, comp)) {
...
4679 if (index == clust_index && unique_search) {
4680
4681 err = DB_RECORD_NOT_FOUND;
4682
4683 goto normal_return;
4684 }
it quit from here, not storing the cursor position.
In contrast, if the record=2 is not found at all (e.g. sleep(1) after DELETE
to let the purge wipe it away completely) then 'get = 2' does find record=3
and quits from here:
4366 if (0 != cmp_dtuple_rec(search_tuple, rec, offsets)) {
...
4394 btr_pcur_store_position(pcur, &mtr);
4395
4396 err = DB_RECORD_NOT_FOUND;
4397 #if 0
4398 ut_print_name(stderr, trx, FALSE, index->name);
4399 fputs(" record not found 3\n", stderr);
4400 #endif
4401
4402 goto normal_return;
Another fix could be to extend the condition on line 4366 to hold only if
seach_tuple matches rec AND if rec is not delete marked.
Notice that in the above test case if we wait about 1 second somewhere after
DELETE and before 'get = 2', then the testcase does not crash and returns 4
instead. Not sure if this is the correct behavior, but this bugfix removes
the crash and makes the code return what it also returns in the non-crashing
case (if rec=2 is not found during 'get = 2', e.g. we have sleep(1) there).

The counter handler_read_key (SSV::ha_read_key_count) is incremented
incorrectly.
The mysql server maintains a per thread system_status_var (SSV)
object. This object contains among other things the counter
SSV::ha_read_key_count. The purpose of this counter is to measure the
number of requests to read a row based on a key (or the number of
index lookups).
This counter was wrongly incremented in the
ha_innobase::innobase_get_index(). The fix removes
this increment statement (for both innodb and innodb_plugin).
The various callers of the innobase_get_index() was checked to
determine if anybody must increment this counter (if they first call
innobase_get_index() and then perform an index lookup). It was found
that no caller of innobase_get_index() needs to worry about the
SSV::ha_read_key_count counter.

This was an attempt to address problems with the Bug#12612184 fix.
Even with this follow-up fix, crash recovery can be broken.
Let us fix the bug later.
In the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause of FOREIGN KEY constraints, the
calculated update vector was not fully initialized. This bug was
introduced in the InnoDB Plugin when implementing support for
ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC.
Additionally, the data type information was not initialized, but
apparently it has never been needed in this case. Nevertheless, it is
not good programming practice to pass uninitialized values around.
calc_row_difference(): Declare the update field uninitialized in
Valgrind. Copy the data type information as well, except when the
field is SQL NULL. In the built-in InnoDB, initialize
ufield->extern_storage = FALSE (an initialization bug that had gone
unnoticed this far). The InnoDB Plugin and later have this flag to
dfield_t and have always initialized it properly.
row_ins_cascade_calc_update_vec(): Reduce the scope of some
pointers. Initialize orig_len. (This caused the bug in InnoDB Plugin
and later.)
row_ins_foreign_check_on_constraint(): Simplify a condition. Declare

The problem occurred when indexes are added between the time that an
UNDO record is created and the time that the purge thread comes around
and deletes the old secondary index entries. The purge thread would
hit an assert when trying to build a secondary index entry for
searching. The problem was that the old value of those fields were not
in the UNDO record since they were not part of an index when the UPDATE
occured.
A test case was added to innodb-index.test.
The fix of Bug#12612184 broke crash recovery. When a record that
contains off-page columns (BLOBs) is updated, we must first write redo
log about the BLOB page writes, and only after that write the redo log
about the B-tree changes. The buggy fix would log the B-tree changes
first, meaning that after recovery, we could end up having a record
that contains a null BLOB pointer.
Because we will be redo logging the writes off the off-page columns
before the B-tree changes, we must make sure that the pages chosen for
the off-page columns are free both before and after the B-tree
changes. In this way, the worst thing that can happen in crash
recovery is that the BLOBs are written to free pages, but the B-tree
changes are not applied. The BLOB pages would correctly remain free in
this case. To achieve this, we must allocate the BLOB pages in the
mini-transaction of the B-tree operation. A further quirk is that BLOB
pages are allocated from the same file segment as leaf pages. Because
of this, we must temporarily "hide" any leaf pages that were freed
during the B-tree operation by "fake allocating" them prior to writing
the BLOBs, and freeing them again before the mtr_commit() of the
B-tree operation, in btr_mark_freed_leaves().
btr_cur_mtr_commit_and_start(): Remove this faulty function that was
introduced in the Bug#12612184 fix. The problem that this function was
trying to address was that when we did mtr_commit() the BLOB writes
before the mtr_commit() of the update, the new BLOB pages could have
overwritten clustered index B-tree leaf pages that were freed during
the update. If recovery applied the redo log of the BLOB writes but
did not see the log of the record update, the index tree would be
corrupted. The correct solution is to make the freed clustered index
pages unavailable to the BLOB allocation. This function is also a
likely culprit of InnoDB hangs that were observed when testing the
Bug#12612184 fix.
btr_mark_freed_leaves(): Mark all freed clustered index leaf pages of
a mini-transaction allocated (nonfree=TRUE) before storing the BLOBs,
or freed (nonfree=FALSE) before committing the mini-transaction.
btr_freed_leaves_validate(): A debug function for checking that all
clustered index leaf pages that have been marked free in the
mini-transaction are consistent (have not been zeroed out).
btr_page_alloc_low(): Refactored from btr_page_alloc(). Return the
number of the allocated page, or FIL_NULL if out of space. Add the
parameter "mtr_t* init_mtr" for specifying the mini-transaction where
the page should be initialized, or if this is a "fake allocation"
(init_mtr=NULL) by btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=TRUE).
btr_page_alloc(): Add the parameter init_mtr, allowing the page to be
initialized and X-latched in a different mini-transaction than the one
that is used for the allocation. Invoke btr_page_alloc_low(). If a
clustered index leaf page was previously freed in mtr, remove it from
the memo of previously freed pages.
btr_page_free(): Assert that the page is a B-tree page and it has been
X-latched by the mini-transaction. If the freed page was a leaf page
of a clustered index, link it by a MTR_MEMO_FREE_CLUST_LEAF marker to
the mini-transaction.
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields_func(): Add the parameter alloc_mtr,
which is NULL (old behaviour in inserts) and the same as local_mtr in
updates. If alloc_mtr!=NULL, the BLOB pages will be allocated from it
instead of the mini-transaction that is used for writing the BLOBs.
fsp_alloc_from_free_frag(): Refactored from
fsp_alloc_free_page(). Allocate the specified page from a partially
free extent.
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(), fseg_alloc_free_page_general(): Add the
parameter "mtr_t* init_mtr" for specifying the mini-transaction where
the page should be initialized, or NULL if this is a "fake allocation"
that prevents the reuse of a previously freed B-tree page for BLOB
storage. If init_mtr==NULL, try harder to reallocate the specified page
and assert that it succeeded.
fsp_alloc_free_page(): Add the parameter "mtr_t* init_mtr" for
specifying the mini-transaction where the page should be initialized.
Do not allow init_mtr == NULL, because this function is never to be
used for "fake allocations".
mtr_t: Add the operation MTR_MEMO_FREE_CLUST_LEAF and the flag
mtr->freed_clust_leaf for quickly determining if any
MTR_MEMO_FREE_CLUST_LEAF operations have been posted.
row_ins_index_entry_low(): When columns are being made off-page in
insert-by-update, invoke btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=TRUE) and pass
the mini-transaction as the alloc_mtr to
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(). Finally, invoke
btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=FALSE) to avoid leaking pages.
row_build(): Correct a comment, and add a debug assertion that a
record that contains NULL BLOB pointers must be a fresh insert.
row_upd_clust_rec(): When columns are being moved off-page, invoke
btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=TRUE) and pass the mini-transaction as
the alloc_mtr to btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(). Finally, invoke
btr_mark_freed_leaves(nonfree=FALSE) to avoid leaking pages.
buf_reset_check_index_page_at_flush(): Remove. The function
fsp_init_file_page_low() already sets
bpage->check_index_page_at_flush=FALSE.
There is a known issue in tablespace extension. If the request to
allocate a BLOB page leads to the tablespace being extended, crash
recovery could see BLOB writes to pages that are off the tablespace
file bounds. This should trigger an assertion failure in fil_io() at
crash recovery. The safe thing would be to write redo log about the
tablespace extension to the mini-transaction of the BLOB write, not to
the mini-transaction of the record update. However, there is no redo
log record for file extension in the current redo log format.

bug. It added this assert;
ut_ad(ind_field->prefix_len);
before a section of code that assumes there is a prefix_len.
The patch replaced code that explicitly avoided this with a check for
prefix_len. It turns out that the purge thread can get to that assert
without a prefix_len because it does not use a row_ext_t* .
When UNIV_DEBUG is not defined, the affect of this is that the purge thread
sets the dfield->len to zero and then cannot find the entry in the index to
purge. So secondary index entries remain unpurged.
This patch does not do the assert. Instead, it uses
'if (ind_field->prefix_len) {...}'
around the section of code that assumes a prefix_len. This is the way the
patch I provided to Marko did it.
The test case is simply modified to do a sleep(10) in order to give the
purge thread a chance to run. Without the code change to row0row.c, this
modified testcase will assert if InnoDB was compiled with UNIV_DEBUG.
I tried to sleep(5), but it did not always assert.

HA_INNOBASE::UPDATE_ROW, TEMPORARY TABLE, TABLE LOCK".
Attempt to update an InnoDB temporary table under LOCK TABLES
led to assertion failure in both debug and production builds
if this temporary table was explicitly locked for READ. The
same scenario works fine for MyISAM temporary tables.
The assertion failure was caused by discrepancy between lock
that was requested on the rows of temporary table at LOCK TABLES
time and by update operation. Since SQL-layer requested a
read-lock at LOCK TABLES time InnoDB engine assumed that upcoming
statements which are going to be executed under LOCK TABLES will
only read table and therefore should acquire only S-lock.
An update operation broken this assumption by requesting X-lock.
Possible approaches to fixing this problem are:
1) Skip locking of temporary tables as locking doesn't make any
sense for connection-local objects.
2) Prohibit changing of temporary table locked by LOCK TABLES ...
READ.
Unfortunately both of these approaches have drawbacks which make
them unviable for stable versions of server.
So this patch takes another approach and changes code in such way
that LOCK TABLES for a temporary table will always request write
lock. In 5.1 version of this patch switch from read lock to write
lock is done inside of InnoDBs handler methods as doing it on
SQL-layer causes compatibility troubles with FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK.
