TABLE ... WRITE".
CPU hogging occured when connection which had to wait for table lock was
serviced by thread which previously serviced connection that was killed
(note that connections can reuse threads if thread cache is enabled).
One possible scenario which exposed this problem was when thread which
provided binlog dump to replication slave was implicitly/automatically
killed when the same slave reconnected and started pulling data through
different thread/connection.
In 5.* versions memory hogging was added to CPU hogging. Moreover in
those versions the problem also occured when one killed particular query
in connection (using KILL QUERY) and later this connection had to wait for
some table lock.
This problem was caused by the fact that thread-specific mysys_var::abort
variable, which indicates that waiting operations on mysys layer should
be aborted (this includes waiting for table locks), was set by kill
operation but was never reset back. So this value was "inherited" by the
following statements or even other connections (which reused the same
physical thread). Such discrepancy between this variable and THD::killed
flag broke logic on SQL-layer and caused CPU and memory hogging.
This patch tries to fix this problem by properly resetting this member.
There is no test-case associated with this patch since it is hard to test
for memory/CPU hogging conditions in our test-suite.
Depending on the queries we use different data processing methods
and can lose some data in case of double (and decimal in 4.1) fields.
The fix consists of two parts:
1. double comparison changed, now double a is equal to double b
if (a-b) is less than 5*0.1^(1 + max(a->decimals, b->decimals)).
For example, if a->decimals==1, b->decimals==2, a==b if (a-b)<0.005
2. if we use a temporary table, store double values there as is
to avoid any data conversion (rounding).
If the user has specified --max-connections=N or --table-open-cache=M
options to the server, a warning could be given that some values were
recalculated, and table-open-cache could be assigned greater value.
Note that both warning and increase of table-open-cache were totally
harmless.
This patch fixes recalculation code to ensure that table-open-cache will
be never increased automatically and that a warning will be given only if
some values had to be decreased due to operating system limits.
No test case is provided because we neither can't predict nor control
operating system limits for maximal number of open files.
Fix when __attribute__() is stubbed out, add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT() for specifying
__attribute__((format(...))) safely, make more use of the format attribute,
and fix some of the warnings that this turns up (plus a bonus unrelated one).
didn't work as expected: collation_server was set not to xxx,
but to the default collation of character set "yyy".
With different argument order it worked as expected:
mysqld --character-set-server=yyy --collation-server=yyy
Fix:
initializate default_collation_name to 0
when processing --character-set-server
only if --collation-server has not been specified
in command line.
- A segfault occured when the function 'kill_server' called
'my_sigset' with signal number 0. 'my_sigset' is a macro which
uses 'sigaction' to install the signal handler with an invalid
signal number will on most platforms return EINVAL but yields
a segfauilt on IRIX 6.5
- The server crash was detected by mysqld_safe and it was restarted although
a shutdown was requested.
- Semantics of kill_server(0) is not known, leaving it intact
too many open statements". The patch adds a new global variable
@@max_prepared_stmt_count. This variable limits the total number
of prepared statements in the server. The default value of
@@max_prepared_stmt_count is 16382. 16382 small statements
(a select against 3 tables with GROUP, ORDER and LIMIT) consume
100MB of RAM. Once this limit has been reached, the server will
refuse to prepare a new statement and return ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR
(unfortunately, we can't add new errors to 4.1 without breaking 5.0). The limit is changeable after startup
and can accept any value from 0 to 1 million. In case
the new value of the limit is less than the current
statement count, no new statements can be added, while the old
still can be used. Additionally, the current count of prepared
statements is now available through a global read-only variable
@@prepared_stmt_count.
