IS STARTING: CONFUSING ERROR
DESCRIPTION
===========
When mysql server processes transactions but has not yet
committed and shuts down abnormally (due to crash, external
killing etc.), a recovery is due from Storage engine side
which takes place the next time mysql server (either
through mysqld or mysqld_safe) is run.
While the 1st server is in mid of recovery, if another
instance of mysqld_safe is made to run, it may result into
2nd instance killing the 1st one after a moment.
ANALYSIS
========
In the "while true" loop, we've a check (which is done
after the server stops) for the existence of pid file to
enquire if it was a normal shutdown or not. If the file is
absent, it means that the graceful exit of server had
removed this file.
However if the file is present, the scripts makes a plain
assumption that this file is leftover of the "current"
server. It misses to consider that it could be a valid pid
file belonging to another running mysql server.
We need to add more checks in the latter case. The script
should extract the PID from this existing file and check if
its running or not. If yes, it means an older instance of
mysql server is running and hence the script should abort.
FIX
===
Checking the status of process (alive or not) by adding a
@CHECK_PID@ in such a case. Aborting if its alive. Detailed
logic is as follows:
- The mysqld_safe script would quit at start only as soon
as it finds that there is an active PID i.e. a mysql server
is already running.
- The PID file creation takes place after InnoDb recovery,
which means in rare case (when PID file isn't created yet)
it may happen that more than 1 server can come up but even
in that case others will have to wait till the 1st server
has released the acquired InnoDb lock. In this case all
these servers will either TIMEOUT waiting for InnoDb lock
or after this they would find that the 1st server is
already running (by reading $pid_file) and would abort.
- Our core fix is that we now check the status of mysql
server process (alive or not) after the server stops
running within the loop of "run -> shutdown/kill/abort ->
run ... ", so that only the script who owns the mysql
server would be able to bring it down if required.
NOTE
====
Removed the deletion of pid file and socket file from entry
of the loop, as it may result in 2nd instance deleting
these files created by 1st instance in RACE condition.
Compensated this by deleting these files at end of the loop
Reverted the changes made in patch to Bug#16776528. So
after this patch is pushed, the concept of mysqld_safe.pid
would go altogether. This was required as the script was
deleting other instance's mysqld_safe.pid allowing multiple
mysqld_safe instances to run in parallel. This patch would
fix Bug#16776528 as well as the resources would be guarded
anyway by InnoDb lock + our planned 5.7 patch.
Don't read --ledir option from config file.
Ignore current working for finding location of mysqld
Remove use of chown/chmod in scripts.
Be helpful only when basedir is /var/log or /var/lib.
Removed unused systemd files for SLES.
Set explicit basedir in scripts.
- Remove use of touch and chmod.
- Restrict usage of chown to cases where target directory is /var/log.
- Due to limited feature set in /bin/sh on Solaris, /bin/bash will be
used on this platform.
- Give error if directory for UNIX socket file is missing.
- Privileged user should not log to files owned by different user
(mysqld will log as before).
Argument to malloc-lib must be included in restricted list of
directories, symlink guards added, and mysqld and mysqld-version
options restricted to command line only. Don't redirect errors to
stderr.
Let mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf force disable error log so that logging to syslog is
not affected by previous log_error setting.
Added handling of --skip-log-error to mysqld_safe.
* mysqld_safe: Since wsrep_on variable is mandatory in 10.1, skip wsrep
position recovery if its OFF.
* mysqld: Remove "-wsrep" from server version
* mysqld: Remove wsrep patch version from @@version_comment
* mysqld: Introduce @@wsrep_patch_version
some checks were "if [ -n "$err_log" ]", others were "if [ $want_syslog -eq 0 ]",
so when both are set, error log file was only partially initialized.
To avoid this ambiguity we reset want_syslog when error log file is used.
Merged lp:maria/maria-10.0-galera up to revision 3879.
Added a new functions to handler API to forcefully abort_transaction,
producing fake_trx_id, get_checkpoint and set_checkpoint for XA. These
were added for future possiblity to add more storage engines that
could use galera replication.
trying to perform wsrep position recovery.
Fixed by correcting the erroneous mysqld command
by properly quoting it.
* Merged the changes made to Ubuntu rules in previous
revision to Debian rules.
