This bug was originally filed and fixed as Bug#12612184. The original
fix was buggy, and it was patched by Bug#12704861. Also that patch was
buggy (potentially breaking crash recovery), and both fixes were
reverted.
This fix was not ported to the built-in InnoDB of MySQL 5.1, because
the function signatures of many core functions are different from
InnoDB Plugin and later versions. The block allocation routines and
their callers would have to changed so that they handle block
descriptors instead of page frames.
When a record is updated so that its size grows, non-updated columns
can be selected for external (off-page) storage. The bug is that the
initially inserted updated record contains an all-zero BLOB pointer to
the field that was not updated. Only after the BLOB pages have been
allocated and written, the valid pointer can be written to the record.
Between the release of the page latch in mtr_commit(mtr) after
btr_cur_pessimistic_update() and the re-latching of the page in
btr_pcur_restore_position(), other threads can see the invalid BLOB
pointer consisting of 20 zero bytes. Moreover, if the system crashes
at this point, the situation could persist after crash recovery, and
the contents of the non-updated column would be permanently lost.
The problem is amplified by the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC and
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED that were introduced in
innodb_file_format=barracuda in InnoDB Plugin, but the bug does exist
in all InnoDB versions.
The fix is as follows. After a pessimistic B-tree operation that needs
to write out off-page columns, allocate the pages for these columns in
the mini-transaction that performed the B-tree operation (btr_mtr),
but write the pages in a separate mini-transaction (blob_mtr). Do
mtr_commit(blob_mtr) before mtr_commit(btr_mtr). A quirk: Do not reuse
pages that were previously freed in btr_mtr. Only write the off-page
columns to 'fresh' pages.
In this way, crash recovery will see redo log entries for blob_mtr
before any redo log entry for btr_mtr. It will apply the BLOB page
writes to pages that were marked free at that point. If crash recovery
fails to see all of the btr_mtr redo log, there will be some
unreachable BLOB data in free pages, but the B-tree will be in a
consistent state.
btr_page_alloc_low(): Renamed from btr_page_alloc(). Add the parameter
init_mtr. Return an allocated block, or NULL. If init_mtr!=mtr but
the page was already X-latched in mtr, do not initialize the page.
btr_page_alloc(): Wrapper for btr_page_alloc_for_ibuf() and
btr_page_alloc_low().
btr_page_free(): Add a debug assertion that the page was a B-tree page.
btr_lift_page_up(): Return the father block.
btr_compress(), btr_cur_compress_if_useful(): Add the parameter ibool
adjust, for adjusting the cursor position.
btr_cur_pessimistic_update(): Preserve the cursor position when
big_rec will be written and the new flag BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG is defined.
Remove a duplicate rec_get_offsets() call. Keep the X-latch on
index->lock when big_rec is needed.
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(): Replace update_inplace with
an operation code, and local_mtr with btr_mtr. When not doing a
fresh insert and btr_mtr has freed pages, put aside any pages that
were previously X-latched in btr_mtr, and free the pages after
writing out all data. The data must be written to 'fresh' pages,
because btr_mtr will be committed and written to the redo log after
the BLOB writes have been written to the redo log.
btr_blob_op_is_update(): Check if an operation passed to
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields() is an update or insert-by-update.
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(), fsp_alloc_free_page(),
fseg_alloc_free_extent(), fseg_alloc_free_page_general(): Add the
parameter init_mtr. Return an allocated block, or NULL. If
init_mtr!=mtr but the page was already X-latched in mtr, do not
initialize the page.
xdes_get_descriptor_with_space_hdr(): Assert that the file space
header is being X-latched.
fsp_alloc_from_free_frag(): Refactored from fsp_alloc_free_page().
fsp_page_create(): New function, for allocating, X-latching and
potentially initializing a page. If init_mtr!=mtr but the page was
already X-latched in mtr, do not initialize the page.
fsp_free_page(): Add ut_ad(0) to the error outcomes.
fsp_free_page(), fseg_free_page_low(): Increment mtr->n_freed_pages.
fsp_alloc_seg_inode_page(), fseg_create_general(): Assert that the
page was not previously X-latched in the mini-transaction. A file
segment or inode page should never be allocated in the middle of an
mini-transaction that frees pages, such as btr_cur_pessimistic_delete().
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(): If the hinted page was allocated, skip the
check if the tablespace should be extended. Return NULL instead of
FIL_NULL on failure. Remove the flag frag_page_allocated. Instead,
return directly, because the page would already have been initialized.
fseg_find_free_frag_page_slot() would return ULINT_UNDEFINED on error,
not FIL_NULL. Correct a bogus assertion.
fseg_alloc_free_page(): Redefine as a wrapper macro around
fseg_alloc_free_page_general().
buf_block_buf_fix_inc(): Move the definition from the buf0buf.ic to
buf0buf.h, so that it can be called from other modules.
mtr_t: Add n_freed_pages (number of pages that have been freed).
page_rec_get_nth_const(), page_rec_get_nth(): The inverse function of
page_rec_get_n_recs_before(), get the nth record of the record
list. This is faster than iterating the linked list. Refactored from
page_get_middle_rec().
trx_undo_rec_copy(): Add a debug assertion for the length.
trx_undo_add_page(): Return a block descriptor or NULL instead of a
page number or FIL_NULL.
trx_undo_report_row_operation(): Add debug assertions.
trx_sys_create_doublewrite_buf(): Assert that each page was not
previously X-latched.
page_cur_insert_rec_zip_reorg(): Make use of page_rec_get_nth().
row_ins_clust_index_entry_by_modify(): Pass BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG, so that
the repositioning of the cursor can be avoided.
row_ins_index_entry_low(): Add DEBUG_SYNC points before and after
writing off-page columns. If inserting by updating a delete-marked
record, do not reposition the cursor or commit the mini-transaction
before writing the off-page columns.
row_build(): Tighten a debug assertion about null BLOB pointers.
row_upd_clust_rec(): Add DEBUG_SYNC points before and after writing
off-page columns. Do not reposition the cursor or commit the
mini-transaction before writing the off-page columns.

Fix for Bug#13430436 PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION IN SYSBENCH ON INNODB DUE TO ICP
When running sysbench on InnoDB there is a performance degradation due
to index condition pushdown (ICP). Several of the queries in sysbench
have a WHERE condition that the optimizer uses for executing these
queries as range scans. The upper and lower limit of the range scan
will ensure that the WHERE condition is fulfilled. Still, the WHERE
condition is part of the queries' condition and if ICP is enabled the
condition will be pushed down to InnoDB as an index condition.
Due to the range scan's upper and lower limits ensure that the WHERE
condition is fulfilled, the pushed index condition will not filter out
any records. As a result the use of ICP for these queries results in a
performance overhead for sysbench. This overhead comes from using
resources for determining the part of the condition that can be pushed
down to InnoDB and overhead in InnoDB for executing the pushed index
condition.
With the default configuration for sysbench the range scans will use
the primary key. This is a clustered index in InnoDB. Using ICP on a
clustered index provides the lowest performance benefit since the
entire record is part of the clustered index and in InnoDB it has the
highest relative overhead for executing the pushed index condition.
The fix for removing the overhead ICP introduces when running sysbench
is to disable use of ICP when the index used by the query is a
clustered index.
When WL#6061 is implemented this change should be re-evaluated.
Problem was that now we can merge derived table (subquery in the FROM clause).
Fix: in case of detected conflict and presence of derived table "over" the table which cased the conflict - try materialization strategy.
The replication slave sets first error 1913 and immediately after error
1595. Thus it is possible, but unlikely, to get 1913. The original test
seems to realise this, but uses an invalid error code - my guess is
that this was a temporary code used in a feature tree, which was then
forgotten to be fixed when merged to main. The removed "1923" is
something committed by mistake during tests.
If the flag 'optimize_join_buffer_size' is set to 'off' and the value
of the system variable 'join_buffer_size' is greater than the value of
the system variable 'join_buffer_space_limit' than no join cache can
be employed to join tables of the executed query.
A bug in the function JOIN_CACHE::alloc_buffer allowed to use join
buffer even in this case while another bug in the function
revise_cache_usage could cause a crash of the server in this case if the
chosen execution plan for the query contained outer join or semi-join
operation.
This patch is a backport of some of the cleanups/refactorings that were done
as part of WL#1393 Optimizing filesort with small limit.

Problem: Statements that write to tables with auto_increment columns
based on the selection from another table, may lead to master
and slave going out of sync, as the order in which the rows
are retrieved from the table may differ on master and slave.
Solution: We mark writing to a table with auto_increment table
based on the rows selected from another table as unsafe. This
will cause the execution of such statements to throw a warning
and forces the statement to be logged in ROW if the logging
format is mixed.
Changes:
1. All the statements that writes to a table with auto_increment
column(s) based on the rows fetched from another table, will now
be unsafe.
2. CREATE TABLE with SELECT will now be unsafe.

- MDEV-132: main.mysqldump fails because it depends on exact size of stdio
buffers.
- MDEV-99: rpl.rpl_cant_read_event_incident fails due to a race where the
slave manages to connect while the test case is in the middle of setting up
the master, causing the slave to replicate extra/wrong events.
- MDEV-133: rpl.rpl_rotate_purge_deadlock fails because it issues a
DEBUG_SYNC SIGNAL immediately followed by RESET; this means that sometimes
the intended receipient has no time to see the signal before it is cleared
by the RESET, causing wait to timeout.

IS EXECUTED TWICE FROM P
This bug is a duplicate of bug 12567331, which was pushed to the
optimizer backporting tree on 2011-06-11. This is just a back-port of
the fix. Both test cases are included as they differ somewhat.
The actual Bug#11754376 does not exist in MySQL 5.5 because at startup
we drop entries for temporary tables from InnoDB dictionary cache (only
if ROW_FORMAT is not REDUNDANT). But nevertheless the bug in
normalize_table_name_low() is present so we fix it.
GRACEFUL SHUTDOWN
During startup mysql picks up .frm files from the tmpdir directory and
tries to drop those tables in the storage engine.
The problem is that when tmpdir ends in / then ha_innobase::delete_table()
is passed a string like "/var/tmp//#sql123", then it wrongly normalizes it
to "/#sql123" and calls row_drop_table_for_mysql() which of course fails
to delete the table entry from the InnoDB dictionary cache.
ha_innobase::delete_table() returns an error but nevertheless mysql wipes
away the .frm file and the entry in the InnoDB dictionary cache remains
orphaned with no easy way to remove it.
The "no easy" way to remove it is to create a similar temporary table again,
copy its .frm file to tmpdir under "#sql123.frm" and restart mysqld with
tmpdir=/var/tmp (no trailing slash) - this way mysql will pick the .frm file
after restart and will try to issue drop table for "/var/tmp/#sql123"
(notice do double slash), ha_innobase::delete_table() will normalize it to
"tmp/#sql123" and row_drop_table_for_mysql() will successfully remove the
table entry from the dictionary cache.
The solution is to fix normalize_table_name_low() to normalize things like
"/var/tmp//table" correctly to "tmp/table".
This patch also adds a test function which invokes
normalize_table_name_low() with various inputs to make sure it works
correctly and a mtr test that calls this test function.
