Early patch submitted for discussion.
It is possible for more than one thread to enter the condition
in query_cache_insert(), but the condition predicate is to
signal one thread each time the cache status changes between
the following states: {NO_FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS,FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS,
TABLE_FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS}
Consider three threads THD1, THD2, THD3
THD2: select ... => Got a writer in ::store_query
THD3: select ... => Got a writer in ::store_query
THD1: flush tables => qc status= FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS;
new writers are blocked.
THD2: select ... => Still got a writer and enters cond in
query_cache_insert
THD3: select ... => Still got a writer and enters cond in
query_cache_insert
THD1: flush tables => finished and signal status change.
THD2: select ... => Wakes up and completes the insert.
THD3: select ... => Happily waiting for better times. Why hurry?
This patch is a refactoring of this lock system. It introduces four new methods:
Query_cache::try_lock()
Query_cache::lock()
Query_cache::lock_and_suspend()
Query_cache::unlock()
This change also deprecates wait_while_table_flush_is_in_progress(). All threads are
queued and put on a conditional wait. On each unlock the queue is signalled. This resolve
the issues with left over threads. To assure that no threads are spending unnecessary
time waiting a signal broadcast is issued every time a lock is taken before a full
cache flush.
Backport to MySQL 5.0/1 fix by Vladislav Vaintroub:
In Vista and later and also in when using terminal services, when
server is started from command line, client cannot connect to it
via shared memory protocol.
This is a regression introduced when Bug#24731 was fixed. The
reason is that client is trying to attach to shared memory using
global kernel object namespace (all kernel objects are prefixed
with Global\). However, server started from the command line in
Vista and later will create shared memory and events using current
session namespace. Thus, client is unable to find the server and
connection fails.
The fix for the client is to first try to find server using "local"
names (omitting Global\ prefix) and only if server is not found,
trying global namespace.
This test uses SHOW STATUS and the like, which may be unstable in the face
of logging to table, since the CSV handler is actively executing operations
and thus incrementing the counters.
Fixed by disabling logging to table for the duration of the test and restoring
it afterwards. This causes various counters to properly start counting from zero
and never advance due to CSV operations.

Compiling MySQL with gcc 4.3.2 and later produces a number of
warnings, many of which are new with the recent compiler
versions.
This bug will be resolved in more than one patch to limit the
size of changesets. This is the first patch, fixing a number
of the warnings, predominantly "suggest using parentheses
around && in ||", and empty for and while bodies.

variable. The problem was that THD::connect_utime could be
used without being initialized when the main thread is used
to handle connections (--thread-handling=no-threads).
uninitialized variable used as subscript
Grouping select from a "constant" InnoDB table (a table
of a single row) joined with other tables caused a crash.
The problem is that when a optimization of read-only transactions
(bypass 2-phase commit) was implemented, it removed the code that
reseted the XID once a transaction wasn't active anymore:
sql/sql_parse.cc:
- bzero(&thd->transaction.stmt, sizeof(thd->transaction.stmt));
- if (!thd->active_transaction())
- thd->transaction.xid_state.xid.null();
+ thd->transaction.stmt.reset();
This mostly worked fine as the transaction commit and rollback
functions (in handler.cc) reset the XID once the transaction is
ended. But those functions wouldn't reset the XID in case of
a empty transaction, leading to a assertion when a new starting
a new XA transaction.
The solution is to ensure that the XID state is reset when empty
transactions are ended (by either commit or rollback). This is
achieved by reorganizing the code so that the transaction cleanup
routine is invoked whenever a transaction is ended.
Holding on to the temporary inno hash index latch is an optimization in
many cases, but a pessimization in some others.
Release temporary latches for those corner cases we (or rather, or customers,
thanks!) have identified, that is, when we are about to do something that
might take a really long time, like REPAIR or filesort.
