locks for DML statements and changes the way MDL locks
are acquired/granted in contended case.
Instead of backing-off when a lock conflict is encountered
and waiting for it to go away before restarting open_tables()
process we now wait for lock to be released without releasing
any previously acquired locks. If conflicting lock goes away
we resume opening tables. If waiting leads to a deadlock we
try to resolve it by backing-off and restarting open_tables()
immediately.
As result both waiting for possibility to acquire and
acquiring of a metadata lock now always happen within the
same MDL API call. This has allowed to make release of a lock
and granting it to the most appropriate pending request an
atomic operation.
Thanks to this it became possible to wake up during release
of lock only those waiters which requests can be satisfied
at the moment as well as wake up only one waiter in case
when granting its request would prevent all other requests
from being satisfied. This solves thundering herd problem
which occured in cases when we were releasing some lock and
woke up many waiters for SNRW or X locks (this was the issue
in bug#52289 "performance regression for MyISAM in sysbench
OLTP_RW test".
This also allowed to implement more fair (FIFO) scheduling
among waiters with the same priority.
It also opens the door for introducing new types of requests
for metadata locks such as low-prio SNRW lock which is
necessary in order to support LOCK TABLES LOW_PRIORITY WRITE.
Notice that after this sometimes can report ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
error in cases in which it has not happened before.
Particularly we will always report this error if waiting for
conflicting lock has happened in the middle of transaction
and resulted in a deadlock. Before this patch the error was
not reported if deadlock could have been resolved by backing
off all metadata locks acquired by the current statement.
Before this fix, the performance schema instrumentation
in mdl.h / mdl.cc was incomplete, causing:
- build warnings,
- no data collection for the performance schema
This fix:
- added instrumentation helpers for the new preferred
reader read write lock, mysql_prlock_*
- implemented completely the performance schema
instrumentation of mdl.h / mdl.cc
When compiling wiht ./configure --with-ssl=/usr,
which used OPEN_SSL but not YASSL, the code in sql/mysqld.cc
failed to build because of an incomplete performance schema instrumentation.
This fix implements properly the instrumentation for the rwlock
used in openssl_lock_t.
Verified that the code builds, and the ssl + performance schema tests
do pass.
