ALTER TABLE on a MERGE table could cause a deadlock with two other connections if we reached a situation where: 1) A connection doing ALTER TABLE can't upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE on the parent table, but holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT on the child tables. 2) A connection doing DELETE on a child table can't get TL_WRITE on it since ALTER TABLE holds TL_READ_NO_INSERT. 3) A connection doing SELECT on the parent table can't get TL_READ on the child tables since TL_WRITE is ahead in the lock queue, but holds MDL_SHARED_READ on the parent table preventing ALTER TABLE from upgrading. For regular tables, this deadlock is avoided by having ALTER TABLE take a MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE metadata lock on the table. This prevents DELETE from acquiring MDL_SHARED_WRITE on the table before ALTER TABLE tries to upgrade to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. In the example above, SELECT would therefore not be blocked by the pending DELETE as DELETE would not be able to enter TL_WRITE in the table lock queue. This patch fixes the problem for merge tables by using the same metadata lock type for child tables as for the parent table. The child tables will in this case therefore be locked with MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE, preventing DELETE from acquiring a metadata lock and enter into the table lock queue. Change in behavior: By taking the same metadata lock for child tables as for the parent table, LOCK TABLE on the parent table will now also implicitly lock the child tables. Since LOCK TABLE on the parent table now takes more than one metadata lock, it is possible for LOCK TABLE ... WRITE on the parent table or child tables to give ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error. Test case added to mdl_sync.test. Merge.test/.result has been updated to reflect the change to LOCK TABLE.
This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it. Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not conflict with it. All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the problem: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests, use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode, the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run. For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests with an external server: mysql-test-run --extern alias analyze To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and other relevant options. With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some tests cannot run with an external server. You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test extension. For example: xemacs t/test_case_name.test In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables, load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it. We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not conflict too much with existing tables). Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and end by dropping them again. This ensures that you can run the test over and over again. If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your test case, you should create the result file as follows: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name or mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways: mysql-test-run --record test_case_name mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify that the bug is corrected in future releases. To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the archive to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail to bugs@lists.mysql.com
