The problem was that the maximum value of the transaction_prealloc_size
session system variable was ULONG_MAX which meant that it was possible
to cause the server to allocate excessive amounts of memory.
This patch fixes the problem by reducing the maxmimum value of
transaction_prealloc_size and transaction_alloc_block_size down
to 128K.
Note that transactions will still be able to allocate more than
128K if needed, this patch just reduces the amount that can be
preallocated - as well as the maximum size of the incremental
allocation blocks.
Normally, SET SESSION SQL_LOG_BIN is used by DBAs to run a
non-conflicting command locally only, ensuring it does not
get replicated.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN would not require all sessions to
disconnect. When SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally, it does not
immediately take effect for any sessions. It takes effect by
becoming the session-level default inherited at the start of
each new session, and this setting is kept and cached for the
duration of that session. Setting it intentionally is unlikely
to have a useful effect under any circumstance; setting it
unintentionally, such as while intending to use SET [SESSION]
is potentially disastrous. Accidentally using SET GLOBAL
SQL_LOG_BIN will not show an immediate effect to the user,
instead not having the desired session-level effect, and thus
causing other potential problems with local-only maintenance
being binlogged and executed on slaves; And transactions from
new sessions (after SQL_LOG_BIN is changed globally) are not
binlogged and replicated, which would result in irrecoverable
or difficult data loss.
This is the regular GLOBAL variables way to work, but in
replication context it does not look right on a working server
(with connected sessions) 'set global sql_log_bin' and none of
that connections is affected. Unexperienced DBA after noticing
that the command did "nothing" will change the session var and
most probably won't unset the global var, causing new sessions
to not be binlog.
Setting GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN allows DBA to stop binlogging on all
new sessions, which can be used to make a server "replication
read-only" without restarting the server. But this has such big
requirements, stop all existing connections, that it is more
likely to make a mess, it is too risky to allow the GLOBAL variable.
The statement 'SET GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN=N' will produce an error
in 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7. Reading the GLOBAL SQL_LOG_BIN will produce
a deprecation warning in 5.7.
Description:
THREAD_CONCURRENCY is deprecated and there is no
deprecation warning message while setting this variable
while starting the server.
Analysis:
This variable is specific to Solaris 8 and earlier systems
and is ignored on all other platforms. But since many
customers, who uses other than Solaris, still has this
variable in their configuration file, it is important to
have a deprecation warning.
Fix:
THREAD_CONCURRENCY deprecation warning message is added.
DO WHAT YOU EXPECT"
Fix info:
--------
Backport of the deprecation bug fix (WL#5265) for global variable
'THREAD_CONCURRENCY' from mysql-5.6 to mysql-5.5
Note: With this backport, certain additional deprecation warnings
would be reported under error conditions while setting the
global/session variables.
Since log_throttle is not available in 5.5. Logging of
error message for failure of thread to create new connection
in "create_thread_to_handle_connection" is not backported.
Since, function "my_plugin_log_message" is not available in
5.5 version and since there is incompatibility between
sql_print_XXX function compiled with g++ and alog files with
gcc to use sql_print_error, changes related to audit log
plugin is not backported.
Problem:
===========================================================
If mysqld daemon is started without a --datadir option
option, and we issue the SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'DATADIR';SQL command
at the client it returns an empty path. This is because
mysql_real_data_home_ptr is being reset to NULL by Sys_var_charptr
constructor call when the datadir is not given either through
configuration file (no-defaults) or through mysqld parameters.
Solution:
===========================================================
mysql_real_data_home is an array which stores the path of the datadir
and mysql_real_data_home_ptr is the pointer to it. The pointer is
being set to NULL at the Sys_datadir, which is of type Sys_var_charptr,
constructor call. This is because at Sys_datadir call the def_val
parameter was being passed with DEFAULT(0) which is now replaced with
DEFAULT(mysql_real_data_home). The patch has been tested manually as it
is not possible to start mtr without a default config file.
When a binlog is replayed into a server, e.g.:
$ mysqlbinlog binlog.000001 | mysql
it sets a pseudo slave mode on the client connection in order to server
be able to read binlog events, there is, a format description event is
needed to correctly read following events.
Also this pseudo slave mode applies to the current connection
replication rules that are needed to correctly apply binlog events.
If a binlog dump is sourced on a connection, this pseudo slave mode will
remains after it, what will apply unexpected rules from customer
perspective to following commands.
Added a new SET statement to binlog dump that will unset pseudo slave
mode at the end of dump file.
NUMBERS
If a system variable was declared as deprecated without mention of an
alternative, the message would look funny, e.g. for @@delayed_insert_limit:
Warning 1287 '@@delayed_insert_limit' is deprecated and
will be removed in MySQL .
The message was meant to display the version number, but it's not
possible to give one when declaring a system variable.
The fix does two things:
1) The definition of the message
ER_WARN_DEPRECATED_SYNTAX_NO_REPLACEMENT is changed so that it does
not display a version number. I.e. in English the message now reads:
Warning 1287 The syntax '@@delayed_insert_limit' is deprecated and
will be removed in a future version.
2) The message ER_WARN_DEPRECATED_SYNTAX_WITH_VER is discontinued in
favor of ER_WARN_DEPRECATED_SYNTAX for system variables. This change
was already done in versions 5.6 and above as part of wl#5265. This
part is simply back-ported from the worklog.
IF LOCALHOST IS BOTH IPV4/IPV6 ENABLED.
The original patch removed default value of the bind-address option.
So, the default value became NULL. By coincedence NULL resolves
to 0.0.0.0 and ::, and since the server chooses first IPv4-address,
0.0.0.0 is choosen. So, there was no change in the behaviour.
This patch restores default value of the bind-address option to "0.0.0.0".
Problem - The default port number shown in SHOW SLAVE HOSTS is always 3306
though the slave is actually listening on a different port number.
This is a problem as the user can not be sure whether this port
value can be trusted and so client trying to read replication
topology can get confused.
Fix - 3306 ceases to be the default value of report-port. Moreover report-port
does not have a static default any longer.
Instead we initialize report-port to 0 as the new default value and change
it based on two checks :
1) If report_port is not set, the slave reports the port number its listening
on. (i.e. if report-port is not set we get the actual value of the slave's
port number).
2) If report-port is set, we show the value report-port is set to, as the slave's
port number.
MEMORY LEAK.
Background:
- There are caches for stored functions and stored procedures (SP-cache);
- There is no similar cache for events;
- Triggers are cached together with TABLE objects;
- Those SP-caches are per-session (i.e. specific to each session);
- A stored routine is represented by a sp_head-instance internally;
- SP-cache basically contains sp_head-objects of stored routines, which
have been executed in a session;
- sp_head-object is added into the SP-cache before the corresponding
stored routine is executed;
- SP-cache is flushed in the end of the session.
The problem was that SP-cache might grow without any limit. Although this
was not a pure memory leak (the SP-cache is flushed when session is closed),
this is still a problem, because the user might take much memory by
executing many stored routines.
The patch fixes this problem in the least-intrusive way. A soft limit
(similar to the size of table definition cache) is introduced. To represent
such limit the new runtime configuration parameter 'stored_program_cache'
is introduced. The value of this parameter is stored in the new global
variable stored_program_cache_size that used to control the size of SP-cache
to overflow.
The parameter 'stored_program_cache' limits number of cached routines for
each thread. It has the following min/default/max values given from support:
min = 256, default = 256, max = 512 * 1024.
Also it should be noted that this parameter limits the size of
each cache (for stored procedures and for stored functions) separately.
The SP-cache size is checked after top-level statement is parsed.
If SP-cache size exceeds the limit specified by parameter
'stored_program_cache' then SP-cache is flushed and memory allocated for
cache objects is freed. Such approach allows to flush cache safely
when there are dependencies among stored routines.
BY CACHING OR REDUCING CREATEEVENT CALLS".
5.5 versions of MySQL server performed worse than 5.1 versions
under single-connection workload in autocommit mode on Windows XP.
Part of this slowdown can be attributed to overhead associated
with constant creation/destruction of MDL_lock objects in the MDL
subsystem. The problem is that creation/destruction of these
objects causes creation and destruction of associated
synchronization primitives, which are expensive on Windows XP.
This patch tries to alleviate this problem by introducing a cache
of unused MDL_object_lock objects. Instead of destroying such
objects we put them into the cache and then reuse with a new
key when creation of a new object is requested.
To limit the size of this cache, a new --metadata-locks-cache-size
start-up parameter was introduced.
After the WL#2687, the binlog_cache_size and max_binlog_cache_size affect both the
stmt-cache and the trx-cache. This means that the resource used is twice the amount
expected/defined by the user.
The binlog_cache_use is incremented when the stmt-cache or the trx-cache is used
and binlog_cache_disk_use is incremented when the disk space from the stmt-cache or the
trx-cache is used. This behavior does not allow to distinguish which cache may be harming
performance due to the extra disk accesses and needs to have its in-memory cache
increased.
To fix the problem, we introduced two new options and status variables related to the
stmt-cache:
Options:
. binlog_stmt_cache_size
. max_binlog_stmt_cache_size
Status Variables:
. binlog_stmt_cache_use
. binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use
So there are
. binlog_cache_size that defines the size of the transactional cache for
updates to transactional engines for the binary log.
. binlog_stmt_cache_size that defines the size of the statement cache for
updates to non-transactional engines for the binary log.
. max_binlog_cache_size that sets the total size of the transactional
cache.
. max_binlog_stmt_cache_size that sets the total size of the statement
cache.
. binlog_cache_use that identifies the number of transactions that used the
temporary transactional binary log cache.
. binlog_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of transactions that used
the temporary transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_cache_size.
. binlog_stmt_cache_use that identifies the number of statements that used the
temporary non-transactional binary log cache.
. binlog_stmt_cache_disk_use that identifies the number of statements that used
the temporary non-transactional binary log cache but that exceeded the value of
binlog_stmt_cache_size.
The server contained code for the server variable and
option thread_pool_size, but this server variable where
not used anywhere.
The variable is probably remains from backporting too
much from 6.0 (specifically, the thread pool
implementation was not backported from 6.0, which this
variable is associated with).
This patch eliminates the variable from the server.
The error message for ER_SLAVE_HEARTBEAT_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE was
hard coded. Additionally, the same error was used in three
separate error symptoms: 1. when heartbeat period exceeds the
value of slave_net_timeout, 2. when it is smaller than 1
milisecond and 3. when it was not in range, ie, either negative
or greater than the maximum allowed.
We fix this by splitting into three distinct errors and by
removing the message from the source code and moving it to the
errmsg-utf8.txt file.
Before this fix, some tests failed due to lack of instrumentation slots
in the performance schema, because the default sizing was too low.
Now that more code has been instrumented, the default sizing has to be adjusted
to match the current instrumentation consumption.
This change:
- increases the number of rwlock classes from 20 to 30,
- increases the number of rwlock and mutex instances to 1 million.
Both are to account for the volume of data instrumented
when the innodb storage engine is used (because of the innodb buffer pool).
Adjusted the test output accordingly.

The system variable 'thread_concurrency' has been
(re-)enabled on all platforms, to prevent startup
errors.
'thread_concurrency' is unused and has no effect,
on any platform, in MySQL 5.1 and later versions. It
will be deprecated, and removed, in context of
worklog WL#5265
Remove acquisition of LOCK_open around file system operations,
since such operations are now protected by metadata locks.
Rework table discovery algorithm to not require LOCK_open.
No new tests added since all MDL locking operations are covered
in lock.test and mdl_sync.test, and as long as these tests
pass despite the increased concurrency, consistency must be
unaffected.
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.
This patch also fixes Bug#55452 "SET PASSWORD is
replicated twice in RBR mode".
The goal of this patch is to remove the release of
metadata locks from close_thread_tables().
This is necessary to not mistakenly release
the locks in the course of a multi-step
operation that involves multiple close_thread_tables()
or close_tables_for_reopen().
On the same token, move statement commit outside
close_thread_tables().
Other cleanups:
Cleanup COM_FIELD_LIST.
Don't call close_thread_tables() in COM_SHUTDOWN -- there
are no open tables there that can be closed (we leave
the locked tables mode in THD destructor, and this
close_thread_tables() won't leave it anyway).
Make open_and_lock_tables() and open_and_lock_tables_derived()
call close_thread_tables() upon failure.
Remove the calls to close_thread_tables() that are now
unnecessary.
Simplify the back off condition in Open_table_context.
Streamline metadata lock handling in LOCK TABLES
implementation.
Add asserts to ensure correct life cycle of
statement transaction in a session.
Remove a piece of dead code that has also become redundant
after the fix for Bug 37521.
