GRADUALLY IF A TRIGGER EXISTS".
This bug manifested itself in two ways:
- Firstly execution of any data-changing statement which
required prelocking (i.e. involved stored function or
trigger) as part of transaction slowed down a bit all
subsequent statements in this transaction. So performance
in transaction which periodically involved such statements
gradually degraded over time.
- Secondly execution of any data-changing statement which
required prelocking as part of transaction prevented
concurrent FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK from proceeding
until the end of transaction instead of end of particular
statement.
The problem was caused by incorrect handling of metadata lock
used in FTWRL implementation for statements requiring prelocked
mode.
Each statement which changes data acquires global IX lock
with STATEMENT duration. This lock is supposed to block
concurrent FTWRL from proceeding until the statement ends.
When entering prelocked mode, durations of all metadata locks
acquired so far were changed to EXPLICIT, to prevent
substatements from releasing these locks. When prelocked mode
was left, durations of metadata locks were changed to
TRANSACTIONAL (with a few exceptions) so they can be properly
released at the end of transaction.
Unfortunately, this meant that the global IX lock blocking
FTWRL with STATEMENT duration was moved to TRANSACTIONAL
duration after execution of statement requiring prelocking.
Since each subsequent statement that required prelocking and
tried to acquire global IX lock with STATEMENT duration got
a new instance of MDL_ticket, which was later moved to
TRANSACTIONAL duration, this led to unwarranted growth of
number of tickets with TRANSACITONAL duration in this
connection's MDL_context. As result searching for other
tickets in it became slow and acquisition of other metadata
locks by this transaction started to hog CPU.
Moreover, this also meant that after execution of statement
requiring prelocking concurrent FTWRL was blocked
until the end of transaction instead of end of statement.
This patch solves this problem by not moving locks to EXPLICIT
duration when thread enters prelocked mode (unless it is a real
LOCK TABLES mode). This step turned out to be not really
necessary as substatements don't try to release metadata locks.
Consequently, the global IX lock blocking FTWRL keeps its
STATEMENT duration and is properly released at the end of
statement and the above issue goes away.
FLUSH TABLES under FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK leads
to assert failure.
This assert was triggered if a statement tried up upgrade a metadata
lock with an active FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK. The assert
checks that the connection already holds a global intention exclusive
metadata lock. However, FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK does not
acquire this lock in order to be compatible with FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK. Therefore any metadata lock upgrade caused the assert to
be triggered.
This patch fixes the problem by preventing metadata lock upgrade
if the connection has an active FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK.
ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED_FOR_WRITE will instead be reported to the client.
Test case added to flush.test.
bug #57006 "Deadlock between HANDLER and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK" and bug #54673 "It takes too long to get readlock for
'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK'".
The first bug manifested itself as a deadlock which occurred
when a connection, which had some table open through HANDLER
statement, tried to update some data through DML statement
while another connection tried to execute FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK concurrently.
What happened was that FTWRL in the second connection managed
to perform first step of GRL acquisition and thus blocked all
upcoming DML. After that it started to wait for table open
through HANDLER statement to be flushed. When the first connection
tried to execute DML it has started to wait for GRL/the second
connection creating deadlock.
The second bug manifested itself as starvation of FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK statements in cases when there was a constant
stream of concurrent DML statements (in two or more
connections).
This has happened because requests for protection against GRL
which were acquired by DML statements were ignoring presence of
pending GRL and thus the latter was starved.
This patch solves both these problems by re-implementing GRL
using metadata locks.
Similar to the old implementation acquisition of GRL in new
implementation is two-step. During the first step we block
all concurrent DML and DDL statements by acquiring global S
metadata lock (each DML and DDL statement acquires global IX
lock for its duration). During the second step we block commits
by acquiring global S lock in COMMIT namespace (commit code
acquires global IX lock in this namespace).
Note that unlike in old implementation acquisition of
protection against GRL in DML and DDL is semi-automatic.
We assume that any statement which should be blocked by GRL
will either open and acquires write-lock on tables or acquires
metadata locks on objects it is going to modify. For any such
statement global IX metadata lock is automatically acquired
for its duration.
The first problem is solved because waits for GRL become
visible to deadlock detector in metadata locking subsystem
and thus deadlocks like one in the first bug become impossible.
The second problem is solved because global S locks which
are used for GRL implementation are given preference over
IX locks which are acquired by concurrent DML (and we can
switch to fair scheduling in future if needed).
Important change:
FTWRL/GRL no longer blocks DML and DDL on temporary tables.
Before this patch behavior was not consistent in this respect:
in some cases DML/DDL statements on temporary tables were
blocked while in others they were not. Since the main use cases
for FTWRL are various forms of backups and temporary tables are
not preserved during backups we have opted for consistently
allowing DML/DDL on temporary tables during FTWRL/GRL.
Important change:
This patch changes thread state names which are used when
DML/DDL of FTWRL is waiting for global read lock. It is now
either "Waiting for global read lock" or "Waiting for commit
lock" depending on the stage on which FTWRL is.
Incompatible change:
To solve deadlock in events code which was exposed by this
patch we have to replace LOCK_event_metadata mutex with
metadata locks on events. As result we have to prohibit
DDL on events under LOCK TABLES.
This patch also adds extensive test coverage for interaction
of DML/DDL and FTWRL.
Performance of new and old global read lock implementations
in sysbench tests were compared. There were no significant
difference between new and old implementations.
table causes assert failure".
Attempting to use FLUSH TABLE table_list WITH READ LOCK
statement for a MERGE table led to an assertion failure if
one of its children was not present in the list of tables
to be flushed. The problem was not visible in non-debug builds.
The assertion failure was caused by the fact that in such
situations FLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK implementation
tried to use (e.g. lock) such child tables without acquiring
metadata lock on them. This happened because when opening tables
we assumed metadata locks on all tables were already acquired
earlier during statement execution and a such assumption was
false for MERGE children.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring at open_tables() time
that we try to acquire metadata locks on all tables to be opened.
For normal tables such requests are satisfied instantly since
locks are already acquired for them. For MERGE children metadata
locks are acquired in normal fashion.
Note that FLUSH TABLES merge_table WITH READ LOCK will lock for
read both the MERGE table and its children but will flush only
the MERGE table. To flush children one has to mention them in table
list explicitly. This is expected behavior and it is consistent with
usage patterns for this statement (e.g. in mysqlhotcopy script).
TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompatible".
The problem was that FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK
which was issued when other connection has acquired global
read lock using FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK was blocked
and has to wait until global read lock is released.
This issue stemmed from the fact that FLUSH TABLES <list>
WITH READ LOCK implementation has acquired X metadata locks
on tables to be flushed. Since these locks required acquiring
of global IX lock this statement was incompatible with global
read lock.
This patch addresses problem by using SNW metadata type of
lock for tables to be flushed by FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH
READ LOCK. It is OK to acquire them without global IX lock
as long as we won't try to upgrade those locks. Since SNW
locks allow concurrent statements using same table FLUSH
TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK now has to wait until old
versions of tables to be flushed go away after acquiring
metadata locks. Since such waiting can lead to deadlock
MDL deadlock detector was extended to take into account
waits for flush and resolve such deadlocks.
As a bonus code in open_tables() which was responsible for
waiting old versions of tables to go away was refactored.
Now when we encounter old version of table in open_table()
we don't back-off and wait for all old version to go away,
but instead wait for this particular table to be flushed.
Such approach supported by deadlock detection should reduce
number of scenarios in which FLUSH TABLES aborts concurrent
multi-statement transactions.
Note that active FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK still
blocks concurrent FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK statement
as the former keeps tables open and thus prevents the
latter statement from doing flush.
LOCK kills the server.
Prohibit FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK application to views or
temporary tables.
Fix a subtle bug in the implementation when we actually
did not remove table share objects from the table cache after
acquiring exclusive locks.
Extend and implement the grammar that allows to FLUSH WITH READ LOCK
a list of tables, rather than all of them.
Incompatible grammar change:
Previously one could perform FLUSH TABLES, HOSTS, PRIVILEGES in a single
statement.
After this change, FLUSH TABLES must always be alone on the list.
Judging by the test suite, however, the old extended syntax
was never or very rarely used.
The new statement requires RELOAD ACL global privilege and
LOCK_TABLES_ACL | SELECT_ACL on individual tables.
In other words, it's an atomic combination of LOCK TALBES <list> READ
and FLUSH TABLES <list>, and requires respective privileges.

function in sql_parse.cc
TEMPORARY + HANDLER + LOCK + SP".
Server crashed when one:
1) Opened HANDLER or acquired global read lock
2) Then locked one or several temporary tables with
LOCK TABLES statement (but no base tables).
3) Then issued any statement causing commit (explicit
or implicit).
4) Issued statement which should have closed HANDLER
or released global read lock.
The problem was that when entering LOCK TABLES mode in the
scenario described above we incorrectly set transactional
MDL sentinel to zero. As result during commit all metadata
locks were released (including lock for open HANDLER or
global metadata shared lock). Indeed, attempt to release
metadata lock for the second time which happened during
HANLDER CLOSE or during release of GLR caused crash.
This patch fixes problem by changing MDL_context's
set_trans_sentinel() method to set sentinel to correct
value (it should point to the most recent ticket).

This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata
locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No
significant changes in the locking protocol.
The import passes the test suite with the exception of
deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter
are subject to a fix by WL#4144.
Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge,
thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments.
This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".
Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change:
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that
was not locked for WRITE.
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or
VIEW that was not locked for WRITE.

Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one
tried to kill ALTER TABLE statement on merge table while it
was waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() for other connections
to close this table.
These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code
in this case assumed that temporary table representing new
version of table was open with adding to THD::temporary_tables
list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't
always fulfilling this.
This patch changes code that opens new version of table to
always do this linking in. It also streamlines cleanup process
for cases when error occurs while we have new version of table
open.

Addition to the fix of assert failures in kill.test caused by

Make sure we close the new table only once.
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK fails to properly detect write locked
tables when running under low priority updates.
The problem is that when trying to aspire a global read lock, the
reload_acl_and_cache() function fails to properly check if the thread
has a low priority write lock, which later my cause a server crash or
deadlock.
The solution is to simple check if the thread has any type of the
possible exclusive write locks.
The log tables are by nature PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA tables,
which should not be affected by SET GLOBAL READ_ONLY or FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK.
The implementation of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK already ignored log tables.
Now with this patch, the implementation of LOCK TABLE also ignore a
global read lock for log tables, which was the missing symmetry.
Replaced COND_refresh with COND_global_read_lock becasue of a bug in NTPL threads when using different mutexes as arguments to pthread_cond_wait()
The original code caused a hang in FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK in some circumstances because pthread_cond_broadcast() was not delivered to other threads.
This fixes:
Bug#16986: Deadlock condition with MyISAM tables
Bug#20048: FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK causes a deadlock
(otherwise a deadlock when ALTER writes to
binlog holding LOCK_open, it causes binlog rotation,
binlog waits for prepared transactions to commit, and commit
needs LOCK_open to check for global read lock)
