In key rotation, we must initialize unallocated but previously initialized pages, so that if encryption is enabled on a table, all clear-text data for the page will eventually be overwritten. But we should not rotate keys on pages that were never allocated after the data file was created. According to the latching order rules, after acquiring the tablespace latch, no page latches of previously allocated user pages may be acquired. So, key rotation should check the page allocation status after acquiring the page latch, not before. But, the latching order rules also prohibit accessing pages that were not allocated first, and then acquiring the tablespace latch. Such behaviour would indeed result in a deadlock when running the following tests: encryption.innodb_encryption-page-compression encryption.innodb-checksum-algorithm Because the key rotation is accessing potentially unallocated pages, it cannot reliably check if these pages were allocated. It can only check the page header. If the page number is zero, we can assume that the page is unallocated. fil_crypt_rotate_pages(): Skip pages that are known to be uninitialized. fil_crypt_rotate_page(): Detect uninitialized pages by FIL_PAGE_OFFSET. Page 0 is never encrypted, and on other pages that are initialized, FIL_PAGE_OFFSET must contain the page number. fil_crypt_is_page_uninitialized(): Remove. It suffices to check the page number field in fil_crypt_rotate_page().
MariaDB: drop-in replacement for MySQL
MariaDB is 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. 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 Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation, 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.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at: http://mariadb.org/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-features/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-features/ https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-versus-mysql-compatibility/
As MariaDB is a full replacement of MySQL, the MySQL manual at http://dev.mysql.com/doc is generally applicable.
