innodb_debug_sync was introduced in commit
b393e2cb0c079b30563dcc87a62002c9c778643c and reverted in
commit fc58c1721631fcc6c9414482b3b7e90cd8e7325d due to memory leak reported
by valgrind, see MDEV-21336.
The leak is now fixed by adding `rw_lock_free(&slot->debug_sync_lock)`
after background thread working loop is finished, and the patch is
reapplied, with respect to c++98 fixes by Marko.
The missing DEBUG_SYNC for MDEV-18546 in row0vers.cc is also reapplied.
As suggested by Vladislav Vaintroub, let us remove misleading
and malformatted startup messages.
Even if the global variable srv_use_atomic_writes were set, we would
still invoke my_test_if_atomic_write() to check if writes are atomic
with a particular page size.
When using the default innodb_page_size=16k, page writes should be
atomic on NTFS when using ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED and KEY_BLOCK_SIZE<=4.
Disabling srv_use_atomic_writes when innodb_file_per_table=OFF does
not make sense, because that is a dynamic parameter.
We also correct the documentation string of innodb_use_atomic_writes
and remove the duplicate variable innobase_use_atomic_writes.
The debug parameter innodb_simulate_comp_failures injected compression
failures for ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED tables, breaking the pre-existing
logic that I had implemented in the InnoDB Plugin for MySQL 5.1 to prevent
compressed page overflows. A much better check is already achieved by
defining UNIV_ZIP_COPY at the compilation time.
(Only UNIV_ZIP_DEBUG is part of cmake -DWITH_INNODB_EXTRA_DEBUG=ON.)
The parameter innodb_idle_flush_pct that was introduced in
MariaDB Server 10.1.2 by MDEV-6932 has no effect ever since
the InnoDB changes from MySQL 5.7.9 were applied in
commit 2e814d4702d71a04388386a9f591d14a35980bfe.
Let us declare the parameter as deprecated and having no effect.
Let us introduce a dummy variable innodb_max_purge_lag_wait
for waiting that the InnoDB history list length is below
the user-specified limit. Specifically,
SET GLOBAL innodb_max_purge_lag_wait=0;
should wait for all history to be purged. This could be useful
when upgrading from an older version to MariaDB 10.3 or later,
to avoid hitting MDEV-15912.
Note: the history cannot be purged if there exist transactions
that may see old versions.

MariaDB 10.2.2 inherited from MySQL 5.7 a perceived optimization
of ALTER TABLE, which skips the writing of redo log records.
In MDEV-16809 we introduced a parameter that allows the redo log to
be written, so that Mariabackup would not be impacted, but we kept
the MySQL 5.7 behaviour enabled by default (innodb_log_optimize_ddl=ON).
As noted in MDEV-19747 (Deprecate and ignore innodb_log_optimize_ddl,
implemented in MariaDB 10.5.1), omitting the redo log writes can
actually reduce performance, because we will have to wait for the data
pages to be written out. When the redo log file is configured to be
large enough, it actually can be much faster to write the redo log and
avoid the extra page flushing.
When the redo log is omitted (innodb_log_optimize_ddl=ON), also
Mariabackup may have to perform a lot of extra work, to re-copy the
entire data file if it is possible that any log was omitted during
the backup.
Starting with MariaDB 10.5.1, the parameter innodb_log_optimize_ddl
is deprecated and ignored. We hereby deprecate (but will not ignore)
the parameter in earlier versions as well.
Regretfully, the parameter innodb_log_checksums was introduced
in MySQL 5.7.9 (the first GA release of that series) by
mysql/mysql-server@af0acedd88
which partly replaced a parameter that had been introduced in 5.7.8
mysql/mysql-server@22ba38218e
as innodb_log_checksum_algorithm.
Given that the CRC-32C operations are accelerated on many processor
implementations (AMD64 with SSE4.2; since MDEV-22669 also on IA-32
with SSE4.2, POWER 8 and later, ARMv8 with some extensions)
and by lookup tables when only generic SISD instructions are available,
there should be no valid reason to disable checksums.
In MariaDB 10.5.2, as a preparation for MDEV-12353, MDEV-19543 deprecated
and ignored the parameter innodb_log_checksums altogether. This should
imply that after a clean shutdown with innodb_log_checksums=OFF one
cannot upgrade to MariaDB Server 10.5 at all.
Due to these problems, let us deprecate the parameter innodb_log_checksums
and honor it only during server startup.
The command SET GLOBAL innodb_log_checksums will always set the
parameter to ON.
The usage message for the innodb_compression_algorithm system variable
did not list snappy, which was added as an optional compression algorithm
in MariaDB 10.1.3 and might actually work since
commit 90c52e5291b3ad0935df7da56ec0fcbf530733b4 (MDEV-12615)
in MariaDB 10.1.24.
Unfortunately, we will include also unavailable compression algorithms
in the list, because ENUM parameters allow numeric values, and we do
not want innodb_compression_algorithm=3 to change meaning depending on
the way how the source code was compiled.
For no good reason, innodb_encryption_threads was limited to
4,294,967,295. Expectedly, the server would crash if such an
insane value was specified. Let us limit the maximum to 255.
The encryption threads are not doing much useful work.
They are basically only dirtying pages by performing
dummy writes via the redo log. The encryption key rotation
or the in-place addition or removal of encryption
will take place in the page cleaner.
In a quick test on a 20-core CPU (40 threads in total),
the sweet spot on an otherwise idle server seemed to be
innodb_encryption_threads=16 for the test
encryption.encrypt_and_grep. The new limit 255 should be
more than enough for even bigger servers.
This essentially reverts commit b393e2cb0c079b30563dcc87a62002c9c778643c.
The leak might have been fixed, but because the
DEBUG_SYNC instrumentation for InnoDB purge threads was reverted
in 10.5 commit 5e62b6a5e06eb02cbde1e34e95e26f42d87fce02
as part of introducing a thread pool, it is easiest to revert
the entire change.
Let us limit the maximum value of the debug parameter
innodb_data_file_size to 256 MiB. It is only being used
in the test innodb.log_data_file_size, and the size
of the system tablespace should never exceed some 70 MiB
in ./mtr. Thus, 256 MiB should be a reasonable limit.
The fact that negative values that are passed to unsigned parameters
wrap around to the maximum value appears to be a regression due to
commit 18ef02b04dfae21148c7397d088c7ffdfcd23c4e
and has been filed as bug MDEV-22219.
If a table is altered using the MDEV-11369/MDEV-15562/MDEV-13134
ALGORITHM=INSTANT, it can force the table to use a non-canonical
format:
* A hidden metadata record at the start of the clustered index
is used to store each column's DEFAULT value. This makes it possible
to add new columns that have default values without rebuilding the table.
* Starting with MDEV-15562 in MariaDB Server 10.4, a BLOB in the
hidden metadata record is used to store column mappings. This makes
it possible to drop or reorder columns without rebuilding the table.
This also makes it possible to add columns to any position or drop
columns from any position in the table without rebuilding the table.
If a column is dropped without rebuilding the table, old records
will contain garbage in that column's former position, and new records
will be written with NULL values, empty strings, or dummy values.
This is generally not a problem. However, there may be cases where
users may want to avoid putting a table into this format.
For example, users may want to ensure that future UPDATE operations
after an ADD COLUMN will be performed in-place, to reduce write
amplification. (Instantly added columns are essentially always
variable-length.) Users might also want to avoid bugs similar to
MDEV-19916, or they may want to be able to export tables to
older versions of the server.
We will introduce the option innodb_instant_alter_column_allowed,
with the following values:
* never (0): Do not allow instant add/drop/reorder,
to maintain format compatibility with MariaDB 10.x and MySQL 5.x.
If the table (or partition) is not in the canonical format, then
any ALTER TABLE (even one that does not involve instant column
operations) will force a table rebuild.
* add_last (1, default in 10.3): Store a hidden metadata record that
allows columns to be appended to the table instantly (MDEV-11369).
In 10.4 or later, if the table (or partition) is not in this format,
then any ALTER TABLE (even one that does not involve column changes)
will force a table rebuild.
Starting with 10.4:
* add_drop_reorder (2, default): Like 'add_last', but allow the
metadata record to store a column map, to support instant
add/drop/reorder of columns (MDEV-15562).
The only change is a change of the version number.
In MySQL 5.6.46, the copyright comments in a number of files were changed
in mysql/mysql-server@f1a006ece7
but there was no functional change to InnoDB code.
This was also reflected by XtraDB. We are not changing the copyright
comments in MariaDB Server for now.
Between MySQL 5.6.46 and 5.6.47, InnoDB was not changed at all.
Actually, we had forgotten to update the InnoDB version number to
5.6.46. With this change, we are updating InnoDB
from 5.6.45 to 5.6.47 and XtraDB from 5.6.45-86.1 to 5.6.46-86.2.
InnoDB RNG maintains global state, causing otherwise unnecessary bus
traffic. Even worse, this is cross-mutex traffic. That is, different
mutexes suffer from contention.
Fixed delay of 4 was verified to give best throughput by OLTP update
index and read-write benchmarks on Intel Broadwell (2/20/40) and
ARM (1/46/46).
This is a backport of ce0479006523bc72ed6abb703bd1f87ff256fd8a from
MariaDB Server 10.3.
To diagnose a hang in slow shutdown (innodb_fast_shutdown=0),
let us introduce a Boolean startup option in debug builds
that will cause the contents of the InnoDB change buffer
to be dumped to the server error log at startup.
Remove unused variables and type mismatch that was introduced
in commit b393e2cb0c079b30563dcc87a62002c9c778643c
Also, fix a typo in the documentation of the parameter, and
update the test.
The setting innodb_change_buffering_debug=2 was supposed to inject
a crash during change buffer merge. There is no public test for
that functionality, and even if there were, it would be better
to use DEBUG_SYNC to halt the thread that does change buffer merge,
force a redo log flush from another thread, and finally kill the
server externally.
This allows one to run the test suite even if any of the following
options are changed:
- character-set-server
- collation-server
- join-cache-level
- log-basename
- max-allowed-packet
- optimizer-switch
- query-cache-size and query-cache-type
- skip-name-resolve
- table-definition-cache
- table-open-cache
- Some innodb options
etc
Changes:
- Don't print out the value of system variables as one can't depend on
them to being constants.
- Don't set global variables to 'default' as the default may not
be the same as the test was started with if there was an additional
option file. Instead save original value and reset it at end of test.
- Test that depends on the latin1 character set should include
default_charset.inc or set the character set to latin1
- Test that depends on the original optimizer switch, should include
default_optimizer_switch.inc
- Test that depends on the value of a specific system variable should
set it in the test (like optimizer_use_condition_selectivity)
- Split subselect3.test into subselect3.test and subselect3.inc to
make it easier to set and reset system variables.
- Added .opt files for test that required specfic options that could
be changed by external configuration files.
- Fixed result files in rockdsb & tokudb that had not been updated for
a while.
Some bugs are detected only after a table definition has been evicted
and then reloaded to the InnoDB data dictionary cache.
For debug builds, introduce the settable Boolean configuration parameter
innodb_evict_tables_on_commit_debug that can be set to request InnoDB
to attempt to evict table definitions from the data dictionary cache
whenever a transaction is committed.
This has been tested on 10.3 and 10.4 with the following:
./mysql-test-run.pl --mysqld=--loose-innodb-evict-tables-on-commit-debug
You can also use the following:
SET GLOBAL innodb_evict_tables_on_commit_debug=ON;
SET GLOBAL innodb_evict_tables_on_commit_debug=OFF;
The parameter affects the commit (or rollback or abort) of
transactions that have modified persistent InnoDB tables.
The general reason why innodb redo log file is limited by 512G is that
log_block_convert_lsn_to_no() returns value limited by 1G. But there is no
need to have unique log block numbers in log group. The fix removes 512G
limit and limits log group size by
(uint32_t maximum value) * (minimum page size), which, in turns, can be
removed if fil_io() is no longer used for innodb redo log io.
There is one directly applicable change to InnoDB:
commit 739f5239f12904247d2a61f9880ea1fafbedc332 in the
5.5 branch will be merged before the next MariaDB releases.
Another potentially applicable change will be tracked
separately as MDEV-20126.
Thus, here we only update the InnoDB version number and do
not change anything else.
- Introduce a new variable called innodb_encrypt_temporary_tables which is
a boolean variable. It decides whether to encrypt the temporary tablespace.
- Encrypts the temporary tablespace based on full checksum format.
- Introduced a new counter to track encrypted and decrypted temporary
tablespace pages.
- Warnings issued if temporary table creation has conflict value with
innodb_encrypt_temporary_tables
- Added a new test case which reads and writes the pages from/to temporary
tablespace.
The parameters innodb_file_format and innodb_large_prefix were overridden
in the Debian-distributed configuration files, because the default values
of these parameters between MariaDB 5.5 and MariaDB 10.2
did not make any sense.
To allow a more seamless upgrade from MariaDB 10.1 to later versions,
let InnoDB recognize the parameters innodb_file_format and
innodb_large_prefix and issue deprecation warnings for them if they
are specified. A deprecation period of only one major release
(one year between the MariaDB 10.2 and 10.3 releases) is insufficient
for these widely used parameters.
main.derived_cond_pushdown: Move all 10.3 tests to the end,
trim trailing white space, and add an "End of 10.3 tests" marker.
Add --sorted_result to tests where the ordering is not deterministic.
main.win_percentile: Add --sorted_result to tests where the
ordering is no longer deterministic.
