The real problem is that when innodb.xa_recovery test intentionally
crashes the server, system tables can be opened and marked as crashed,
and the next test in line gets blamed for the error which appears
in the error log.
Fixed by flushing the tables before crashing the server
PROBLEMS
Description:- Server variable "--lower_case_tables_names"
when set to "0" on windows platform which does not support
case sensitive file operations leads to problems. A warning
message is printed in the error log while starting the
server with "--lower_case_tables_names=0". Also according to
the documentation, seting "lower_case_tables_names" to "0"
on a case-insensitive filesystem might lead to index
corruption.
Analysis:- The problem reported in the bug is:-
Creating an INNODB table 'a' and executing a query, "INSERT
INTO a SELECT a FROM A;" on a server started with
"--lower_case_tables_names=0" and running on a
case-insensitive filesystem leads innodb to flat spin.
Optimizer thinks that "a" and "A" are two different tables
as the variable "lower_case_table_names" is set to "0". As a
result, optimizer comes up with a plan which does not need a
temporary table. If the same table is used in select and
insert, a temporary table is needed. This incorrect
optimizer plan leads to infinite insertions.
Fix:- If the server is started with
"--lower_case_tables_names" set to 0 on a case-insensitive
filesystem, an error, "The server option
'lower_case_table_names'is configured to use case sensitive
table names but the data directory is on a case-insensitive
file system which is an unsupported combination. Please
consider either using a case sensitive file system for your
data directory or switching to a case-insensitive table name
mode.", is printed in the server error log and the server
exits.
There is several different ways to incorrectly define
foreign key constraint. In many cases earlier MariaDB
versions the error messages produced by these cases
are not very clear and helpful. This patch improves
the warning messages produced by foreign key parsing.
Analysis: At check_trx_exists function InnoDB allocates
a new trx if no trx is found from thd but this newly
allocated trx is not registered to thd. This is unsafe,
because nothing prevents InnoDB plugin from being uninstalled
while there's active transaction. This can cause crashes, hang
and any other odd behavior. It may also corrupt stack, as
functions pointers are not available after dlclose.
Fix: The fix is to use thd_set_ha_data() when
manipulating per-connection handler data. It does appropriate
plugin locking.
Problem:
If we add a referential integrity constraint with a duplicate
name, an error occurs. The foreign key object would not have
been added to the dictionary cache. In the error path, there
is an attempt to remove this foreign key object. Since this
object is not there, the search returns a NULL result.
De-referencing the null object results in this crash.
Solution:
If the search to the foreign key object failed, then don't
attempt to access it.

(and dict_close()) so that trx_free_prepared() will see all locks intact.

Analysis: after a red-black-tree lookup we use node withouth
checking did lookup succeed or not. This lead to situation
where NULL-pointer was used.
Fix: Add additional check that found node from red-back-tree
is valid.
When the binlog was rotated due to @@max_binlog_size, the values of the
binlog_shapshot_file and binlog_snapshot_position were inconsistent in case of
non-transactional DML. The position was refering to the old file, while the
filename was of the new file after rotation. This patch makes them consistent
by making sure the position is also refering to the new file.
Analysis: Purge thread does not have thd and no access to
handlerton.
Fix: If thd does not exists we use sql_print_warning instead
of push_warning_printf.
Applied the fix previously pushed into 10.0.

Problem is that test could open Microsoft C++ Client Debugger
windows with abort exception. Lets not try to test this on
windows.

The debug configuration parameter innodb_optimistic_insert_debug
which was introduced for testing corner cases in B-tree handling
had a bug in it. The value 1 would trigger an infinite sequence
of page splits.
Fix: When the value 1 is specified, disable this debug feature.

The test case waits for other threads to complete, but the wait is only 2
seconds. This is likely to sometimes be too little on our heavily loaded
buildbot VMs, that can easily stall for more than 2 seconds from time to time.
So let's try to increase the timeout (to about 40 seconds) and see if it
helps.
innodb_buffer_pool_pages_total depends on page size. On Power8 it is 65k
compared to 4k on Intel. As we round allocations on page size we may get
slightly more memory for buffer pool.
FROM A FUNCTION
Scenario:
In a stored procedure, CREATE TABLE statement is not allowed. But an
exception is provided for CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE. We can create a temporary
table in a stored procedure.
Let there be two stored functions f1 and f2 and two stored procedures p1 and
p2. Their properties are as follows:
. stored function f1() calls stored procedure p1().
. stored function f2() calls stored procedure p2().
. stored procedure p1() creates temporary table t1.
. stored procedure p2() does DML on t1.
Consider the following situation:
1. Autocommit mode is on.
2. select f1()
3. select f2()
Step 2: In this step, t1 would be created via p1(). A table level transaction
lock would have been taken. The ::external_lock() would not have been called
on this table. At the end of step 2, because of autocommit mode on, this table
level lock will be released.
Step 3: When we execute DML on table t1 via p2() we have two problems:
Problem 1:
The function ha_innobase::external_lock() would have been called but since
it is a select query no table level locks would have been taken. Hence the
following assert will fail:
ut_ad(lock_table_has(thr_get_trx(thr), index->table, LOCK_IX));
Solution:
The solution would be to identify this situation and take a table level lock
and use the proper lock type prebuilt->select_lock_type = LOCK_X for DML
operations.
Problem 2:
Another problem is that in step 3, ha_innobase::open() is never called on
the table t1.
Solution:
The solution would be to identify this situation and call re-init the handler
of table t1.

Problem:
We maintain two rb trees in each dict_table_t. The foreign_rbt must be in
sync with foreign_list. The referenced_rbt must be in sync with
referenced_list. There is one function which checks this consistency and it
failed, resulting in an assert failure.
The root cause of the problem was identified that the search order was
lost in the referenced_rbt. This is because while renaming the table,
we didn't not refresh this referenced_rbt.
Solution:
When a foreign key is renamed, we must delete and re-insert into both
foreign_rbt and referenced_rbt.
