(diagnostics_area)
Execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement was not atomic in
the sense that concurrent statements trying to affect its target
table might have sneaked in between the moment when the table was
created and moment when it was filled according to SELECT clause.
This resulted in inconsistent binary log, unexpected target table
contents. In cases when concurrent statement was a DDL statement
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT might have failed with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
In more detail:
Due to premature metadata lock downgrade which occured after CREATE
TABLE SELECT statement created table but before it managed to obtain
table-level lock on it other statements were allowed to open, lock
and change target table in the middle of CREATE TABLE SELECT
execution. This also meant that it was possible that CREATE TABLE
SELECT would wait in mysql_lock_tables() when it was called for newly
created table and that this wait could have been aborted by concurrent
DDL. The latter led to execution of unexpected branch of code and
CREATE TABLE SELECT ending with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
The premature downgrade occured because open_table(), which was called
for newly created table, decided that it is OK to downgrade metadata
lock from exclusive to shared since table exists, even although it
was not acquired within this call.
This fix ensures that open_table() does not downgrade metadata lock
if it is not acquired during its current invocation.
Testing:
The bug is exposed in a race condition, and is thus difficult to
expose in a standard mysql-test-run test case. Instead, a stress
test using the Random Query Generator (https://launchpad.net/randgen)
will trip the problem occasionally.

introduced by HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DROP patch
sql/sql_base.cc:
Don't call ::extra() for closed tables.
Bug #46654 False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions,
inconsistent behavior
The problem was that if one connection is running a multi-statement
transaction which involves a single partitioned table, and another
connection attempts to alter the table, the first connection gets
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and cannot proceed anymore, even when the ALTER TABLE
statement in another connection has timed out or failed.
The reason for this was that the prepare phase for ALTER TABLE for
partitioned tables removed all instances of the table from the table
definition cache before it started waiting on the lock. The transaction
running in the first connection would notice this and report ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK.
This patch changes the prep_alter_part_table() ALTER TABLE code so that
tdc_remove_table() is no longer called. Instead, only the TABLE instance
changed by prep_alter_part_table() is marked as needing reopen.
The patch also removes an unnecessary call to tdc_remove_table() from
mysql_unpack_partition() as the changed TABLE object is destroyed by the
caller at a later point.
Test case added in partition_sync.test.

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.

Added MDL_request for stored routine as member to Sroutine_hash_entry
in order to be able perform metadata locking for stored routines in

(WL#4284, follow up fixes).
sql/mdl.cc:
Introduced version of MDL_request::init() method which initializes
lock request using pre-built MDL key.
MDL_key::table_name/table_name_length() getters were
renamed to reflect the fact that MDL_key objects are

sql/mdl.h:
Extended enum_mdl_namespace enum with values which correspond
to namespaces for stored functions and triggers.
Renamed MDL_key::table_name/table_name_length() getters
to MDL_key::name() and name_length() correspondingly to
reflect the fact that MDL_key objects are now created

Added MDL_key::mdl_namespace() getter.
Also added version of MDL_request::init() method which

Removed sp_name::m_sroutines_key member and set_routine_type() method.
Since key for routine in LEX::sroutines set has no longer sp_name::m_qname
as suffix we won't save anything by creating it at sp_name construction
time.
Adjusted sp_name constructor used for creating temporary objects for
lookups in SP-cache to accept MDL_key as parameter and to avoid any

CREATE TABLE SELECT statements take exclusive metadata lock on table
being created. Invariant of metadata locking subsystem states that
such lock should be taken before taking any kind of shared locks.
Once metadata locks on stored routines are introduced statements like
"CREATE TABLE ... SELECT f1()" will break this invariant by taking
shared locks on routines before exclusive lock on target table.
To avoid this, open_tables() is reworked to process tables which are
directly used by the statement before stored routines are processed.
sql/sql_base.cc:
Refactored open_tables() implementation to process stored routines
only after tables which are directly used by statement were processed.
To achieve this moved handling of routines in open_tables() out of
loop which iterates over tables to a new separate loop. And in its
turn this allowed to split handling of particular table or view to
an auxiliary function, which made code in open_tables() simpler and
more easy to understand.

Fix for bug #46673 "Deadlock between FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and DML".
Deadlocks occured when one concurrently executed transactions with
several statements modifying data and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
statement or SET READ_ONLY=1 statement.
These deadlocks were introduced by the patch for WL 4284: "Transactional
DDL locking"/Bug 989: "If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction,
wrong binlog order" which has changed FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/SET
READ_ONLY=1 to wait for pending transactions.
What happened was that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK blocked all further
statements changing tables by setting global_read_lock global variable
and has started waiting for all pending transactions to complete.
Then one of those transactions tried to executed DML, detected that
global_read_lock non-zero and tried to wait until global read lock will
be released (i.e. global_read_lock becomes 0), indeed, this led to a
deadlock.
Proper solution for this problem should probably involve full integration
of global read lock with metadata locking subsystem (which will allow to
implement waiting for pending transactions without blocking DML in them).
But since it requires significant changes another, short-term solution
for the problem is implemented in this patch.
Basically, this patch restores behavior of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/
SET READ_ONLY=1 before the patch for WL 4284/bug 989. By ensuring that
extra references to TABLE_SHARE are not stored for active metadata locks
it changes these statements not to wait for pending transactions.
As result deadlock is eliminated.
Note that this does not change the fact that active FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK lock or SET READ_ONLY=1 prevent modifications to tables as
they also block transaction commits.

This means that transactions holding metadata lock on the table will

as it also blocks all commits.

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.

When we are opening a table (or just .FRM) in order to fill I_S with

waiting for this lock to go away can lead to a deadlock in some

these deadlocks we detect such situations and don't do waiting.
Instead, we skip table for which we have conflicting metadata lock,
thus omitting information about it from I_S table, and produce an
appropriate warning.

Fix for bug #46748 "Assertion in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
on INSERT + CREATE TRIGGER".
Concurrent execution of statements involving stored functions or triggers
which were using several tables and DDL statements which affected those
tables on debug build of server might have led to assertion failures in
MDL_context::wait_for_locks(). Non-debug build was not affected.
The problem was that during back-off which happens when open_tables()
encounters conflicting metadata lock for one of the tables being open
we didn't reset MDL_request::ticket value for requests which correspond
to tables from extended prelocking set. Since these requests are part
of of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context this broke
assumption that ticket value for them is 0 in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
and caused assertion failure.
This fix ensures that close_tables_for_reopen(), which performs this back-off
resets MDL_request::ticket value not only for tables directly used by the
statement but also for tables from extended prelocking set, thus satisfying
assumption described above.

set are also part of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context
in close_tables_for_reopen() we have to reset MDL_request::ticket
values for them to assumptions in MDL_context::wait_for_locks().

Fix for bug #46748 "Assertion in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
on INSERT + CREATE TRIGGER".
Concurrent execution of statements involving stored functions or triggers
which were using several tables and DDL statements which affected those
tables on debug build of server might have led to assertion failures in
MDL_context::wait_for_locks(). Non-debug build was not affected.
The problem was that during back-off which happens when open_tables()
encounters conflicting metadata lock for one of the tables being open
we didn't reset MDL_request::ticket value for requests which correspond
to tables from extended prelocking set. Since these requests are part
of of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context this broke
assumption that ticket value for them is 0 in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
and caused assertion failure.
This fix ensures that close_tables_for_reopen(), which performs this back-off
resets MDL_request::ticket value not only for tables directly used by the
statement but also for tables from extended prelocking set, thus satisfying
assumption described above.
Bug #47249 assert in MDL_global_lock::is_lock_type_compatible
This assert could be triggered if LOCK TABLES were used to lock
both a table and a view that used the same table. The table would have
to be first WRITE locked and then READ locked. So "LOCK TABLES v1
WRITE, t1 READ" would eventually trigger the assert, "LOCK TABLES
v1 READ, t1 WRITE" would not. The reason is that the ordering of locks
in the interal representation made a difference when executing
FLUSH TABLE on the table.
During FLUSH TABLE, a lock was upgraded to exclusive. If this lock
was of type MDL_SHARED and not MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE, an internal
counter in the MDL subsystem would get out of sync. This would happen
if the *last* mention of the table in LOCK TABLES was a READ lock.
The counter in question is the number exclusive locks (active or intention).
This is used to make sure a global metadata lock is only taken when the
counter is zero (= no conflicts). The counter is increased when a
MDL_EXCLUSIVE or MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE lock is taken, but not when
upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() is used to upgrade directly
from MDL_SHARED to MDL_EXCLUSIVE.
This patch fixes the problem by searching for a TABLE instance locked
with MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE or MDL_EXCLUSIVE before calling
upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive(). The patch also adds an assert checking
that only MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE locks are upgraded to exclusive.
Test case added to lock_multi.test.

WL#4284 "Transactional DDL locking"
A review fix.
Since WL#4284 implementation separated MDL_request and MDL_ticket,
MDL_request becamse a utility object necessary only to get a ticket.
Store it by-value in TABLE_LIST with the intent to merge
MDL_request::key with table_list->table_name and table_list->db
in future.
Change the MDL subsystem to not require MDL_requests to
stay around till close_thread_tables().
Remove the list of requests from the MDL context.
Requests for shared metadata locks acquired in open_tables()
are only used as a list in recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
which calls mdl_context.wait_for_locks() for this list.
To keep such list for recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
introduce a context class (Open_table_context), that collects
all requests.
A lot of minor cleanups and simplications that became possible
with this change.
sql/event_db_repository.cc:
Remove alloc_mdl_requests(). Now MDL_request instance is a member
of TABLE_LIST, and init_one_table() initializes it.
sql/ha_ndbcluster_binlog.cc:
Remove now unnecessary declaration and initialization
of binlog_mdl_request.
sql/lock.cc:
No need to allocate MDL requests in lock_table_names() now.
sql/log.cc:
Use init_one_table() method, remove alloc_mdl_requests(),
which is now unnecessary.
sql/log_event.cc:
No need to allocate mdl_request separately now.
Use init_one_table() method.
sql/log_event_old.cc:
Update to the new signature of close_tables_for_reopen().
sql/mdl.cc:
Update try_acquire_exclusive_lock() to be more easy to use.
Function lock_table_name_if_not_cached() has been removed.
Make acquire_shared_lock() signature consistent with
try_acquire_exclusive_lock() signature.
Remove methods that are no longer used.
Update comments.
sql/mdl.h:
Implement an assignment operator that doesn't
copy MDL_key (MDL_key::operator= is private and
should remain private).
This is a hack to work-around assignment of TABLE_LIST
by value in several places. Such assignments violate
encapsulation, since only perform a shallow copy.
In most cases these assignments are a hack on their own.

sql/sp.cc:

mdl_requests.

TABLE_LIST initialization.
sql/sql_help.cc:
Function open_system_tables_for_read() no longer initializes
mdl_requests.
Move TABLE_LIST::mdl_request initialization closer to

TABLEOP_HOOKS. We can't carry over a granted
MDL ticket from one table list to another.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
Change alloc_mdl_requests() -> init_mdl_requests().
@todo We can remove init_mdl_requests() altogether
in some places: all places that call add_table_to_list()
already have mdl requests initialized.
sql/sql_plugin.cc:
Use init_one_table().
THD::locked_tables_root is no more.
sql/sql_servers.cc:
Use init_one_table().
sql/sql_show.cc:

TABLE_LIST::mdl_request rather than allocate an own.
Fix get_trigger_table_impl() to use init_one_table(),
check for out of memory, follow the coding style.
sql/sql_table.cc:
Update to work with TABLE_LIST::mdl_request by-value.
Remove lock_table_name_if_not_cached().
The code that used to delegate to it is quite simple and
concise without it now.
sql/sql_udf.cc:
Use init_one_table().
sql/sql_update.cc:
Update to use the new signature of close_tables_for_reopen().
sql/table.cc:
Move re-setting of mdl_requests for prepared statements

reinit_stmt_before_use().
Change alloc_mdl_requests() to init_mdl_requests().
init_mdl_requests() is a hack that can't be deleted
until we don't have a list-aware TABLE_LIST constructor.
Hopefully its use will be minimal
sql/table.h:
Change alloc_mdl_requests() to init_mdl_requests()
TABLE_LIST::mdl_request is stored by value.

Since table definition cache hold references to storage engine

the process (by immediately removing tables opened during this
process from the table definition cache).

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.

sql/sql_prepare.cc:
The problem is that the prepare phase of the CREATE TABLE
statement takes a exclusive metadata lock lock and this can
cause a self-deadlock the thread already holds a shared lock

The solution is to make the prepare phase take a shared
metadata lock when preparing a CREATE TABLE statement. The
execution of the statement will still acquire a exclusive
lock, but won't cause any problem as it issues a implicit
commit.
After some discussions with stakeholders it has been decided that
metadata locks acquired during a PREPARE statement must be released
once the statement is prepared even if it is prepared within a multi
statement transaction.

Don't implicitly unlock locked tables. Issue a implicit commit

The solution is to make the prepare phase take a shared
metadata lock when preparing a CREATE TABLE statement. The
execution of the statement will still acquire a exclusive
lock, but won't cause any problem as it issues a implicit
commit.
sql/transaction.cc:
Release metadata locks after the implicitly committed due
to a new transaction being started. Also, release metadata
locks acquired after a savepoint if the transaction is rolled
back to the save point.
The problem is that in some cases transaction-long metadata locks
could be released before the transaction was committed. This could
happen when a active transaction was ended by a "START TRANSACTION"
or "BEGIN" statement, in which case the metadata locks would be
released before the actual commit of the active transaction.
The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks to after the
transaction has been implicitly committed. No test case is provided
as the effort to provide one is too disproportional to the size of
the fix.

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.

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
This is a prerequisite patch:
These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted
locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to
be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can
now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock
requests, but only shared locks can be recursive.
The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into
granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime
of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of
granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the
burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and
it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks
have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction.
Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to
acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires
that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted
lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is
released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts
as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at
the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake
ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds
a equivalent of the lock being released.
These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level
design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks
in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but
this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys,
requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once.
This patch combines review input and significant code contributions
from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).
mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:
Add test case result.
mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test:
Add test case for shared lock upgrade case.
sql/event_db_repository.cc:

sql/log_event.cc:
The MDL request now holds the table and database name data (MDL_KEY).
sql/mdl.cc:
Move the MDL key to the MDL_LOCK structure in order to make the
object suitable for allocation from a fixed-size allocator. This
allows the simplification of the lists in the MDL_LOCK object,
which now are just two, one for granted tickets and other for
waiting (upgraders) tickets.
Recursive requests for a shared lock on the same object can now
be granted using the same lock ticket. This schema is only used
for shared locks because that the only case that matters. This
is used to avoid waste of resources in case a context (connection)
already holds a shared lock on a object.
sql/mdl.h:
Introduce a metadata lock object key which is used to uniquely
identify lock objects.
Separate the structure used to represent pending lock requests
from the structure used to represent granted metadata locks.
