COLUMNS
ANALYSIS:
=========
A valgrind error is reported when CREATE TABLE .. SELECT
involving BIT columns triggers a column type redefinition.
In general the pack_flag is set for BIT columns in
'mysql_prepare_create_table()'. However, during the above
operation, redefined column types was handled after the
special handling for BIT columns and thus pack_flag ended
up not being set correctly triggering the valgrind error.
FIX:
====
The patch fixes this problem by setting pack_flag correctly
for BIT columns in the case of column type redefinition.
Problem:
========
1) Drop table queries are re-generated by server
before writing the events(queries) into binlog
for various reasons. If table name/db name contains
a non regular characters (like latin characters),
the generated query is wrong. Hence it breaks the
replication.
2) In the edge case, when table name/db name contains
64 characters, server is throwing an assert
assert(M_TBLLEN < 128)
3) In the edge case, when db name contains 64 latin
characters, binlog content is interpreted badly
which is leading replication failure.
Analysis & Fix :
================
1) Parser reads the table name from the query and converts
it to standard charset(utf8) and stores it in table_name variable.
When drop table query is regenerated with the same table_name
variable, it should be converted back to the original charset
from standard charset(utf8).
2) Latin character takes two bytes for each character. Limit
of the identifier is 64. SYSTEM_CHARSET_MBMAXLEN is set to '3'.
So there is a possiblity that tablename/dbname contains 3 * 64.
Hence assert is changed to
(M_TBLLEN <= NAME_CHAR_LEN*SYSTEM_CHARSET_MBMAXLEN)
3) db_len in the binlog event header is taking 1 byte.
db_len is ranged from 0 to 192 bytes (3 * 64).
While reading the db_len from the event, server
is casting to uint instead of uchar which is leading
to bad db_len. This problem is fixed by changing the
cast type to uchar.
FILE
PROBLEM
In 5.5 when doing doing a rename of a column ,we ignore the case between
old and new column names while comparing them,so if the change is just
the case then we don't even mark the field FIELD_IS_RENAMED ,we just update
the frm file ,but don't recreate the table as is the norm when alter is
used.This leads to inconsistency in the innodb data dictionary which causes
index creation to fail.
FIX
According to the documentation any innodb column rename should trigger
rebuild of the table. Therefore for innodb tables we will do a strcmp()
between the column names and if there is case change in column name
we will trigger a rebuild.
Problem :
---------
Issue-1: The root cause for the issues is that (col1 > 1) is not a
valid partition function and we should have thrown error at much early
stage [partition_info::check_partition_info]. We are not checking
sub-partition expression when partition expression is NULL.
Issue-2: Potential issue for future if any partition function needs to
change item tree during open/fix_fields. We should release changed
items, if any, before doing closefrm when we open the partitioned table
during creation in create_table_impl.
Solution :
----------
1.check_partition_info() - Check for sub-partition expression even if no
partition expression.
[partition by ... columns(...) subpartition by hash(<expr>)]
2.create_table_impl() - Assert that the change list is empty before doing
closefrm for partitioned table. Currently no supported partition function
seems to be changing item tree during open.

BINLOGGED INCORRECTLY - BREAKS A SLAVE
Submitted a incomplete patch with my previous push,
re submitting the extra changes the required to make
the patch complete.
Analysis:
In row based replication, Master does not send temp table information
to Slave. If there are any DDLs that involves in regular table that needs
to be sent to Slave and a temp tables (which will not be available at Slave),
the Master rewrites the query replacing temp table with it's defintion.
Eg: create table regular_table like temptable.
In rewrite logic, server is ignoring the database of regular table
which can cause problems mentioned in this bug.
Fix: dont ignore database information (if available) while
rewriting the query
CRASHES WITH AUTO_INCREMENT COLUMN
Description:- Creating a federated table with AUTO_INCREMENT
column using LIKE clause results in a server crash.
Analysis:- Creating a federated table with AUTO_INCREMENT
column using LIKE clause results in a federated server
crash due to the uninitialized connection structure(mysql).
Also due to unassigned connection string for the remote
server, at the time of preparation of "create_info"
structure, the creation of any federated table using LIKE
clause fails with an error, "ERROR 1 (HY000): server name:
'' doesn't exist!". This bug is not only with
AUTO_INCREMENT but in all creations of federated tables with
LIKE clause.
Fix :- In ha_federated::info(), "mysql->insert_id" assigned
to "stats.auto_increment_value" only when there is an
active connection. This fixes the crash issue. For creating
the federated table with LIKE clause, connection string is
assigned at the time of preparation of "create_info"
structure.
CHECK.
Analysis:
----------
Issue here is, while creating or altering the InnoDB table,
if the foreign key defined on the table references a parent
table on which the user has no access privileges then the
table is created without reporting any error.
Currently the privilege level REFERENCES_ACL is unused
and is not used for access evaluation while creating the
table with a foreign key constraint or adding the foreign
key constraint to a table. But when no privileges are granted
to user then also access evaluation on parent table is ignored.
Fix:
---------
For DMLs, irrelevant of the fact, support does not want any
changes to avoid permission checks on every operation.
So, as a fix, added a function "check_fk_parent_table_access"
to check whether any of the SELECT_ACL, INSERT_ACL, UDPATE_ACL,
DELETE_ACL or REFERENCE_ACL privileges are granted for user
at table level. If none of them is granted then error is reported.
This function is called during the table creation and alter
operation.

BACKGROUND:
This bug is a followup on Bug#16368875.
The assertion failure happens because in SQL layer the key
does not get promoted to PRIMARY KEY but InnoDB takes it
as PRIMARY KEY.
ANALYSIS:
Here we are trying to create an index on POINT (GEOMETRY)
data type which is a type of BLOB (since GEOMETRY is a
subclass of BLOB).
In general, we can't create an index over GEOMETRY family
type field unless we specify the length of the
keypart (similar to BLOB fields).
Only exception is the POINT field type. The POINT column
max size is 25. The problem is that the field is not treated
as PRIMARY KEY when we create a index on POINT column using
its max column size as key part prefix. The fix would allow
index on POINT column to be treated as PRIMARY KEY.
FIX:
Patch for Bug#16368875 is extended to take into account
GEOMETRY datatype, POINT in particular to consider it
as PRIMARY KEY in SQL layer.

After table->file->add_index() in mysql_alter_table() the table in the engine
has the intermediate temporary structure, it's neither the original nor the
final table structure (it'll be final after successful table->file->drop_index()
call). So, when add_index() fails with a unique key violation, we cannot simply
get the failed key number and easily map it to the key name and key structure via
table->key_info[key_no].
For now we'll create this "intermediate temporary structure", emulating InnoDB
internal rules.
This bug and the fix will go away in 10.0 that uses completely different online
alter table code.

STATUS OF ROLLBACKED TRANSACTION" and bug #17054007 - "TRANSACTION
IS NOT FULLY ROLLED BACK IN CASE OF INNODB DEADLOCK".
The problem in the first bug report was that although deadlock involving
metadata locks was reported using the same error code and message as InnoDB
deadlock it didn't rollback transaction like the latter. This caused
confusion to users as in some cases after ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK transaction
could have been restarted immediately and in some cases rollback was
required.
The problem in the second bug report was that although InnoDB deadlock
caused transaction rollback in all storage engines it didn't cause release
of metadata locks. So concurrent DDL on the tables used in transaction was
blocked until implicit or explicit COMMIT or ROLLBACK was issued in the
connection which got InnoDB deadlock.
The former issue has stemmed from the fact that when support for detection
and reporting metadata locks deadlocks was added we erroneously assumed
that InnoDB doesn't rollback transaction on deadlock but only last statement
(while this is what happens on InnoDB lock timeout actually) and so didn't
implement rollback of transactions on MDL deadlocks.
The latter issue was caused by the fact that rollback of transaction due
to deadlock is carried out by setting THD::transaction_rollback_request
flag at the point where deadlock is detected and performing rollback
inside of trans_rollback_stmt() call when this flag is set. And
trans_rollback_stmt() is not aware of MDL locks, so no MDL locks are
released.
This patch solves these two problems in the following way:
- In case when MDL deadlock is detect transaction rollback is requested
by setting THD::transaction_rollback_request flag.
- Code performing rollback of transaction if THD::transaction_rollback_request
is moved out from trans_rollback_stmt(). Now we handle rollback request
on the same level as we call trans_rollback_stmt() and release statement/
transaction MDL locks.
