- A prerequisite cleanup patch for making KILL reliable. The test case main.kill did not work reliably. The following problems have been identified: 1. A kill signal could go lost if it came in, short before a thread went reading on the client connection. 2. A kill signal could go lost if it came in, short before a thread went waiting on a condition variable. These problems have been solved as follows. Please see also added code comments for more details. 1. There is no safe way to detect, when a thread enters the blocking state of a read(2) or recv(2) system call, where it can be interrupted by a signal. Hence it is not possible to wait for the right moment to send a kill signal. It has been decided, not to fix it in the code. Instead, the test case repeats the KILL statement until the connection terminates. 2. Before waiting on a condition variable, we register it together with a synchronizating mutex in THD::mysys_var. After this, we need to test THD::killed again. At some places we did only test it in a loop condition before the registration. When THD::killed had been set between this test and the registration, we entered waiting without noticing the killed flag. Additional checks ahve been introduced where required. In addition to the above, a re-write of the main.kill test case has been done. All sleeps have been replaced by Debug Sync Facility synchronization. A couple of sync points have been added to the server code. To avoid further problems, if the test case fails in spite of the fixes, the test case has been added to the "experimental" list for now. - Most of the work on this patch is authored by Ingo Struewing
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
