Analysis: Current implementation will write and read at least one block
(sort_buffer_size bytes) from disk / index even if that block does not
contain any records.
Fix: Avoid writing / reading empty blocks to temporary files (disk).
Assertion `inited==INDEX' failed in int handler::ha_index_first(uchar*)
The crash was because errors from init_read_record_idx() was not taken care of.
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 was that test just takes too long time in slow I/O and triggers
testcase timeout. Reduced the number of operations and inserts to make
test shorter.
Analysis; Problem is that InnoDB does not have support for generating
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or constant default.
Fix: Add additional check if column has changed from NULL -> NOT NULL
and column default has changed. If this is is first column definition
whose SQL type is TIMESTAMP and it is defined as NOT NULL and
it has either constant default or function default we must use
"Copy" method for alter table.
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.

innobase_shutdown_for_mysql(): Call trx_sys_close() before lock_sys_close()
(and dict_close()) so that trx_free_prepared() will see all locks intact.

The test case was missing --source include/wait_for_binlog_checkpoint.inc.
So it could occasionally fail if the checkpoint managed to occur just at the
right point in time between fetching the two binlog positions to compare.
Analysis: MySQL table definition contains also virtual columns. Similarly,
index fielnr references MySQL table fields. However, InnoDB table definition
does not contain virtual columns. Therefore, when matching MySQL key fieldnr
we need to use actual column name to find out referenced InnoDB dictionary
column name.
Fix: Add new function to match MySQL index key columns to InnoDB dictionary.
available space on disk
Add error handling when disk full situation happens and
intentionally bring server down with stacktrace because
on all cases InnoDB can't continue anyway.

Analysis: Table name is on filename charset but foreign key
identifiers are not. This lead incorrect foreign key
identifier number to be used.
Fix: Convert foreign key identifier to filename charset before
comparing it to table name when largest foreign key identifier
number is resolved.

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
