It also opens the way for further changes which are necessary to solve
such bugs as bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock"
and bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
table".
Two other notable changes done by this patch:
- MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
metadata lock when per-object metadata lock is acquired. Now this has
to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
- Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables/tables
for purposes of I_S we now create MDL savepoint in the main context
before opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing
them. This means that it is now possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
even not inside a transaction. This might happen in unlikely case when
one runs DDL on one of system tables while also running DDL on some
other tables. Cases when this ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is not justified
will be addressed by advanced deadlock detector for MDL subsystem which
we plan to implement.
REORGANIZE PARTITION
There were several problems which lead to this this,
all related to bad error handling.
1) There was several bugs preventing the ddl-log to be used for
cleaning up created files on error.
2) The error handling after the copy partition rows did not close
and unlock the tables, resulting in deletion of partitions
which were in use, which lead InnoDB to put the partition to
drop in a background queue.

Bug #30977 Concurrent statement using stored function and DROP FUNCTION
breaks SBR
Bug #48246 assert in close_thread_table
Implement a fix for:
Bug #41804 purge stored procedure cache causes mysterious hang for many
minutes
Bug #49972 Crash in prepared statements
The problem was that concurrent execution of DML statements that
use stored functions and DDL statements that drop/modify the same
function might result in incorrect binary log in statement (and
mixed) mode and therefore break replication.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing metadata locking for
stored procedures and functions. This is similar to what is done
in Bug#25144 for views. Procedures and functions now are
locked using metadata locks until the transaction is either
committed or rolled back. This prevents other statements from
modifying the procedure/function while it is being executed. This
provides commit ordering - guaranteeing serializability across
multiple transactions and thus fixes the reported binlog problem.
Note that we do not take locks for top-level CALLs. This means
that procedures called directly are not protected from changes by
simultaneous DDL operations so they are executed at the state they
had at the time of the CALL. By not taking locks for top-level
CALLs, we still allow transactions to be started inside
procedures.
This patch also changes stored procedure cache invalidation.
Upon a change of cache version, we no longer invalidate the entire
cache, but only those routines which we use, only when a statement
is executed that uses them.
This patch also changes the logic of prepared statement validation.
A stored procedure used by a prepared statement is now validated
only once a metadata lock has been acquired. A version mismatch
causes a flush of the obsolete routine from the cache and
statement reprepare.
Incompatible changes:
1) ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is reported for a transaction trying to access
a procedure/function that is locked by a DDL operation in
another connection.
2) Procedure/function DDL operations are now prohibited in LOCK
TABLES mode as exclusive locks must be taken all at once and
LOCK TABLES provides no way to specifiy procedures/functions to
be locked.
Test cases have been added to sp-lock.test and rpl_sp.test.
Work on this bug has very much been a team effort and this patch
includes and is based on contributions from Davi Arnaut, Dmitry
Lenev, Magne Mæhre and Konstantin Osipov.

"HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks".
Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel
is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two
groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only
one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK
TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK
and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when
someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g.
if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally,
see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()).
MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it.
******
A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a
transaction might lead to deadlocks".
An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction-
agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction,
and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection)
could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when
HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting
metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement
also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a
transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait
could occur.
Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically
closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection.
Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock
in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait
indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
is produced.
The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context
with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional
locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits
with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single
MDL context of the connection.
Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life
cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so
are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas
transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction
and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT,
a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context.
All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list.
However, a selected element of the list separates locks with
different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the
end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are
prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel.
Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only
release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks
must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement,
or an implicit close.
The same approach with sentinel
is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES
statement has never worked together, the implementation is
made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either
for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.

Fixes for Bug #38016 Maria: trying to access freed memory when
committing a transaction.
Don't write out states if they haven't changed.
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.

Made enum_mdl_namespace enum part of MDL_key class and removed MDL_
prefix from the names of enum members. In order to do the latter
changed name of PROCEDURE symbol to PROCEDURE_SYM (otherwise macro
which was automatically generated for this symbol conflicted with
MDL_key::PROCEDURE enum member).
Introduce a counter for protection against global read lock on thread level.
The functions for protection against global read lock sometimes need a local
variable to signal when the protection is set, and hence need to be released.
It would be better to control this behaviour via a counter on the THD struct,
telling how many times the protection has been claimed by the current thread.
A side-effect of the fix is that if protection is claimed twice for a thread,
only a simple increment is required for the second claim, instead of a
mutex-protected increment of the global variable protect_against_global_read_lock.
Bug #48248 assert in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive
The assert would happen if REPAIR TABLE was used on a table already
locked by LOCK TABLES READ. REPAIR mistakenly tried to upgrade the
read-lock to exclusive, thereby triggering the assert.
The cause of the problem was that REPAIR TABLE ignored errors
from opening and locking tables. This is by design, as REPAIR
can be used to broken tables that cannot be opened. However,
repair also ignored logical errors such as the inability to
exclusivly lock a table due to conflicting LOCK TABLES.
This patch fixes the problem by not ignoring errors from
opening and locking tables if inside LOCK TABLES mode.
In LOCK TABLES we already know that the table can be opened,
so that the failure to open must be a logical error.
Test added to repair.test.
A pre-requisite patch for Bug#30977 "Concurrent statement using
stored function and DROP FUNCTION breaks SBR".
This patch changes the MDL API by introducing a namespace for
lock keys: MDL_TABLE for tables and views and MDL_PROCEDURE
for stored procedures and functions. The latter is needed for
the fix for Bug#30977.
Bug #42074 concurrent optimize table and
alter table = Assertion failed: thd->is_error()
This assertion could occur if OPTIMIZE TABLE was started on a InnoDB table
and the table was altered to different storage engine after OPTIMIZE
had started. This allowed OPTIMIZE to pass the initial checks for
storage engine support, but fail once it reached "recreate+analyze"
if this operation was not supported by the new storage engine.
The bug had no consequences for non-debug builds of the server.
In detail, the assertion was triggered when ha_analyze() returned
HA_ADMIN_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. This led to a code path which included an
assert checking for diagnostics area contents. Since this area had
not been filled, the assertion was triggered. The diagnostics area
is in this case only used to provide more detailed information about
why optimize failed. The triggered code path sends this information
to the client and clears the diagnostic area.
This patch fixed the problem by adding an error message to the diagnostic
area if ha_analyze() fails. This error message contains the error code
returned by ha_analyze().
Test case added to innodb_mysql_sync.test.

A fix and a test case for Bug#45035 "Altering table under LOCK TABLES
results in "Error 1213 Deadlock found...".
If a user had a table locked with LOCK TABLES
for READ and for WRITE in the same connection, ALTER TABLE
could fail.
Root cause analysis:
If a connection issues
LOCK TABLE t1 write, t1 a read, t1 b read;
the new LOCK TABLES code in 6.0 (part of WL 3726) will create
the following list of TABLE_LIST objects
(thd->locked_tables_list->m_locked_tables):
{"t1" "b" tl_read_no_insert}, {"t1" "a" tl_read_no_insert},
{"t1" "t1" tl_write }
Later on, when we try to ALTER table t1, mysql_alter_table()
closes all TABLE instances and releases its thr_lock locks,
keeping only an exclusive metadata lock on t1.
But when ALTER is finished, Locked_table_list::reopen_tables()
tries to restore the original list of open and locked tables.
Before this patch, it used to do so one by one:
Open t1 b, get TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock,
Open t1 a, get TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock
Open t1, try to get TL_WRITE lock, deadlock.
The cause of the deadlock is that thr_lock.c doesn't
resolve the situation when the read list only consists
of locks taken by the same thread, followed by this very
thread trying to take a WRITE lock. Indeed, since
thr_lock_multi always gets a sorted list of locks,
WRITE locks always precede READ locks in the list
to lock.
Don't try to fix thr_lock.c deficiency, keep this
code simple.
Instead, try to take all thr_lock locks at once
in ::reopen_tables().

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).

WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
SQL statements' effect on transactions.
Currently the MySQL server and its storage engines are not
capable of rolling back operations that define or modify data
structures (also known as DDL statements) or operations that
alter any of the system tables (the mysql database). Allowing
these group of statements to participate in transactions
is unfeasible at this time (since rollback has no effect
whatsoever on them) and goes against the design of our metadata
locking subsystem.
The solution is to issue implicit commits before and after
those statements execution. This effectively confines each of
those statements to its own special transaction and ensures
that metadata locks taken during this special transaction
are not leaked into posterior statements/transactions.

WL#4144 - Lock MERGE engine children.
Committing a version of the patch merged with WL#3726
on behalf of Ingo.
Step #1: Move locking from parent to children.
MERGE children are now left in the query list of tables
after inserted there in open_tables(). So they are locked
by lock_tables() as all other tables are.
The MERGE parent does not store locks any more. It appears
in a MYSQL_LOCK with zero lock data. This is kind of a "dummy"
lock.
All other lock handling is also done directly on the children.
To protect against parent or child modifications during LOCK
TABLES, the children are detached after every statement and
attached before every statement, even under LOCK TABLES.
The children table list is removed from the query list of tables
on every detach and on close of the parent.
Step #2: Move MERGE specific functionality from SQL layer
into table handler.
Functionality moved from SQL layer (mainly sql_base.cc)
to the table handler (ha_myisammrg.cc).
Unnecessary code is removed from the SQL layer.
Step #3: Moved all MERGE specific members from TABLE
to ha_myisammrg.
Moved members from TABLE to ha_myisammrg.
Renamed some mebers.
Fixed comments.
Step #4: Valgrind and coverage testing
Valgrind did not uncover new problems.
Added purecov comments.
Added a new test for DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY options.
Changed handling of ::reset() for non-attached children.
Fixed the merge-big test.
Step #5: Fixed crashes detected during review
