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 #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.

Requests for shared metadata locks acquired in open_tables()

To keep such list for recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),

Attempt to shutdown PBXT engine plugin led to assertion failure

This problem stemmed from the fact that we MDL subsystem and
table definition cache were deinitialized before plugin shutdown
while PBXT plugin during its shutdown process accessed tables and
therefore expected them to be in working shape.
This patch solves this problem by moving deinitialization of
these two subsystems after plugins are shut down.
No test case is provided since such test case would require

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
active transactions using the object being modified.
The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
transactions.
- Incompatible change:
If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
and trying to acquire them all in one go.
But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.
Let's consider an example:
A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.
At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
-- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.
- Incompatible change:
FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.

Make transaction management more modular through a new interface.
The overall objective of this change is to provide groundwork
for the design of transactional DDL locking by cleaning up the
transaction high level API to better distinguish operations implicit
and explicit, and single statement transaction from operations on
the normal transaction.
Having a a high-level interface for transaction management provides
a better base for implementing transactional concepts that are not
always tied to storage engines and also makes it easier to interect
with other higher level modules of the server.

WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
SQL statements' effect on transactions.
Currently the MySQL server and its storage engines are not
capable of rolling back operations that define or modify data
structures (also known as DDL statements) or operations that
alter any of the system tables (the mysql database). Allowing
these group of statements to participate in transactions
is unfeasible at this time (since rollback has no effect
whatsoever on them) and goes against the design of our metadata
locking subsystem.
The solution is to issue implicit commits before and after
those statements execution. This effectively confines each of
those statements to its own special transaction and ensures
that metadata locks taken during this special transaction
are not leaked into posterior statements/transactions.

WL#4144 - Lock MERGE engine children.
Committing a version of the patch merged with WL#3726
on behalf of Ingo.
Step #1: Move locking from parent to children.
MERGE children are now left in the query list of tables
after inserted there in open_tables(). So they are locked
by lock_tables() as all other tables are.
The MERGE parent does not store locks any more. It appears
in a MYSQL_LOCK with zero lock data. This is kind of a "dummy"
lock.
All other lock handling is also done directly on the children.
To protect against parent or child modifications during LOCK
TABLES, the children are detached after every statement and
attached before every statement, even under LOCK TABLES.
The children table list is removed from the query list of tables
on every detach and on close of the parent.
Step #2: Move MERGE specific functionality from SQL layer
into table handler.
Functionality moved from SQL layer (mainly sql_base.cc)
to the table handler (ha_myisammrg.cc).
Unnecessary code is removed from the SQL layer.
Step #3: Moved all MERGE specific members from TABLE
to ha_myisammrg.
Moved members from TABLE to ha_myisammrg.
Renamed some mebers.
Fixed comments.
Step #4: Valgrind and coverage testing
Valgrind did not uncover new problems.
Added purecov comments.
Added a new test for DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY options.
Changed handling of ::reset() for non-attached children.
Fixed the merge-big test.
Step #5: Fixed crashes detected during review
Changed detection when to attach/detach.
Added new tests.

MERGE table upon VIEWs but crashes when using it"

WL#3726, review fixes.
Now that we have metadata locks, we don't need to keep a crippled
TABLE instance in the table cache to indicate that a table is locked.
Remove all code that used this technique. Instead, rely on metadata
locks and use the standard open_table() and close_thread_table()
to manipulate with the table cache tables.
Removes a list of functions that have become unused (see the comment
for sql_base.cc for details).
Under LOCK TABLES, keep a TABLE_LIST instance for each table
that may be temporarily closed. For that, implement an own class for
LOCK TABLES mode, Locked_tables_list.
This is a pre-requisite patch for WL#4144.
This is not exactly a backport: there is no new
online ALTER table in Celosia, so the old alter table
code was changed to work with the new table cache API.

This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata

significant changes in the locking protocol.
The import passes the test suite with the exception of
deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter
are subject to a fix by WL#4144.
Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge,
thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments.
This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".
Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change:
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that
was not locked for WRITE.
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or
VIEW that was not locked for WRITE.

message:
Bug#35164: Large number of invalid pthread_attr_setschedparam calls
Bug#37536: Thread scheduling causes performance degradation at low thread count
Bug#12702: Long queries take 100% of CPU and freeze other applications under Windows
The problem is that although having threads with different priorities
yields marginal improvements [1] in some platforms [2], relying on some
statically defined priorities (QUERY_PRIOR and WAIT_PRIOR) to play well
(or to work at all) with different scheduling practices and disciplines
is, at best, a shot in the dark as the meaning of priority values may
change depending on the scheduling policy set for the process.
Another problem is that increasing priorities can hurt other concurrent
(running on the same hardware) applications (such as AMP) by causing
starvation problems as MySQL threads will successively preempt lower
priority processes. This can be evidenced by Bug#12702.
The solution is to not change the threads priorities and rely on the
system scheduler to perform its job. This also enables a system admin
to increase or decrease the scheduling priority of the MySQL process,
if intended.
Furthermore, the internal wrappers and code for changing the priority
of threads is being removed as they are now unused and ancient.
1. Due to unintentional side effects. On Solaris this could artificially
help benchmarks as calling the priority changing syscall millions of
times is more beneficial than the actual setting of the priority.
2. Where it actually works. It has never worked on Linux as the default
scheduling policy SCHED_OTHER only accepts the static priority 0.
This is the non-ndb part of the patch.
The return value of mysql_bin_log.write was ignored by most callers,
which may lead to inconsistent on master and slave if the transaction
was committed while the binlog was not correctly written. If
my_error() is call in mysql_bin_log.write, this could also lead to
assertion issue if my_ok() or my_error() is called after.
This fixed the problem by let the caller to check and handle the
return value of mysql_bin_log.write. This patch only adresses the
simple cases.
Correction of backport patch:
* Fixed signature of check_access_table() for embedded build
* Fixed typo for last argument in a check_access() call from UINT_MAX to 0.
# Bug#24690 Stored functions: RETURNing UTF8 strings
# do not return UTF8_UNICODE_CI collation
#
# Bug#17903: cast to char results in binary
# Regression. The character set was not being properly initialized
# for CAST() with a type like CHAR(2) BINARY, which resulted in
# incorrect results or even a server crash.

- Allow "CHARACTER SET cs COLLATE cl" in
SP parameters, RETURNS, DECLARE
- Minor reorganization for "ASCII" and "UNICODE"
related rules, to make the code more readable,
also to allow these aliases:
* "VARCHAR(10) ASCII BINARY" -> CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_bin
* "VARCHAR(10) BINARY ASCII" -> CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_bin
* "VARCHAR(10) UNICODE BINARY" -> CHARACTER SET ucs2 COLLATE ucs2_bin
* "VARCHAR(10) BINARY UNICODE" -> CHARACTER SET ucs2 COLLATE ucs2_bin
Previously these four aliases returned the error
"This version of MySQL does not yet support return value collation".
Note:
This patch allows "VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET cs COLLATE cl"
and the above four aliases.
"VARCHAR(10) COLLATE cl" is still not allowed
i.e. when COLLATE is given without CHARACTER SET.
If we want to support this, we need an architecture decision
which character set to use by default.
