Issue: The Commit:0584846'Add TL_FIRST_WRITE in SQL layer for determining R/W' limits INSERT statements on write nodes to acquire MDL locks on it's all child tables and thereby wsrep certification keys added, but on applier nodes it does acquire MDL locks for all child tables. This can result into MDL BF-BF conflict on applier node when transactions referring to parent and child tables are executed concurrently. For example: Tables with foreign keys: t1<-t2<-t3<-t4 Conflicting transactions: INSERT t1 and DROP TABLE t4 Wsrep certification keys taken on write node: - for INSERT t1: t1 and t2 - for DROP TABLE t4: t4 On applier node MDL BF-BF conflict happened between two transaction because MDL locks on t1, t2, t3 and t4 were taken for INSERT t1, which conflicted with MDL lock on t4 taken by DROP TABLE t4. The Wsrep certification keys helps in resolving this MDL BF-BF conflict by prioritizing and scheduling concurrent transactions. But to generate Wsrep certification keys it needs to open and take MDL locks on all the child tables. The Commit:0584846change limits MDL lock to be taken on all child nodes for read-only FK checks (INSERT t1). But this doesn't works on applier nodes because Write_rows_log_event event logged for INSERT is also used to record update (check Write_rows_log_event::get_trg_event_map()), and therefore MDL locks is taken for all the child tables on applier node for update and insert event. Solution: Additional keys for the referenced/foreign table needs to be added to avoid potential MDL conflicts with concurrent update and DDLs.

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
