The InnoDB DATA DIRECTORY attribute is not implemented via
symbolic links but something similar, *.isl files that contain
the names of data files.
InnoDB failed to ignore the DATA DIRECTORY attribute even though
the server was started with --skip-symbolic-links.
Native ALTER TABLE in InnoDB will retain the DATA DIRECTORY attribute
of the table, no matter if the table will be rebuilt or not.
Generic ALTER TABLE (with ALGORITHM=COPY) as well as TRUNCATE TABLE
will discard the DATA DIRECTORY attribute.
All tests have been run with and without the ./mtr option
--mysqld=--skip-symbolic-links
and some tests that use the InnoDB DATA DIRECTORY attribute
have been adjusted for this.
MariaDB data-at-rest encryption (innodb_encrypt_tables)
had repurposed the same unused data field that was repurposed
in MySQL 5.7 (and MariaDB 10.2) for the Split Sequence Number (SSN)
field of SPATIAL INDEX. Because of this, MariaDB was unable to
support encryption on SPATIAL INDEX pages.
Furthermore, InnoDB page checksums skipped some bytes, and there
are multiple variations and checksum algorithms. By default,
InnoDB accepts all variations of all algorithms that ever existed.
This unnecessarily weakens the page checksums.
We hereby introduce two more innodb_checksum_algorithm variants
(full_crc32, strict_full_crc32) that are special in a way:
When either setting is active, newly created data files will
carry a flag (fil_space_t::full_crc32()) that indicates that
all pages of the file will use a full CRC-32C checksum over the
entire page contents (excluding the bytes where the checksum
is stored, at the very end of the page). Such files will always
use that checksum, no matter what the parameter
innodb_checksum_algorithm is assigned to.
For old files, the old checksum algorithms will continue to be
used. The value strict_full_crc32 will be equivalent to strict_crc32
and the value full_crc32 will be equivalent to crc32.
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED tables will only use the old format.
These tables do not support new features, such as larger
innodb_page_size or instant ADD/DROP COLUMN. They may be
deprecated in the future. We do not want an unnecessary
file format change for them.
The new full_crc32() format also cleans up the MariaDB tablespace
flags. We will reserve flags to store the page_compressed
compression algorithm, and to store the compressed payload length,
so that checksum can be computed over the compressed (and
possibly encrypted) stream and can be validated without
decrypting or decompressing the page.
In the full_crc32 format, there no longer are separate before-encryption
and after-encryption checksums for pages. The single checksum is
computed on the page contents that is written to the file.
We do not make the new algorithm the default for two reasons.
First, MariaDB 10.4.2 was a beta release, and the default values
of parameters should not change after beta. Second, we did not
yet implement the full_crc32 format for page_compressed pages.
This will be fixed in MDEV-18644.
This is joint work with Marko Mäkelä.
MySQL 5.7 introduced WL#7943: InnoDB: Implement Information_Schema.Files
to provide a long-term alternative for accessing tablespace metadata.
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_* views are considered internal interfaces
that are subject to change or removal between releases. So, users should
refer to I_S.FILES instead of I_S.INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES to fetch metadata
about CREATE TABLESPACE.
Because MariaDB 10.2 does not support CREATE TABLESPACE or
CREATE TABLE…TABLESPACE for InnoDB, it does not make sense to support
I_S.FILES either. So, let MariaDB 10.2 omit the code that was added in
MySQL 5.7. After this change, I_S.FILES will report the empty result,
unless some other storage engine in MariaDB 10.2 implements the interface.
(The I_S.FILES interface was originally created for the NDB Cluster.)

MDEV-10547: Test multi_update_innodb fails with InnoDB 5.7
The failure happened because 5.7 has changed the signature of
the bool handler::primary_key_is_clustered() const
virtual function ("const" was added). InnoDB was using the old
signature which caused the function not to be used.
MDEV-10550: Parallel replication lock waits/deadlock handling does not work with InnoDB 5.7
Fixed mutexing problem on lock_trx_handle_wait. Note that
rpl_parallel and rpl_optimistic_parallel tests still
fail.
