data files. Previously, writes were flushed until the doublewrite
buffer was created. That would be too slow on systems where
os_file_flush() [or fsync(2)] is slow. (Bug #12125)
between two server instances at server shutdown/startup.
This conflict on advisory locks appears to be the result of a bug
in the operating system; these locks should be released when the
files are closed, but somehow that does not always happen
immediately in Linux. (Bug #9381)
AIX 5.1 after security patch ML7 seems to contain a bug that instead of EEXIST it sets errno to 0 if a file creation fails because the file already exists. Work around that bug by interpreting errno 0 in AIX as EEXIST.
Fix Windows porting bugs that broke ibbackup: 1) wrong error check in for CreateDirectory(), 2) wrong error check if the file did not exist in DeleteFile(), 3) too strict sharing restrictions in os_file_create_simple(): when ibbackup called that function, it would not allow mysqld to write to the file
We accidentally checked if the DIRECTORY is of type OS_FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN; our intention was to check if the FILE is that; best to remove the check altogether, as in crash recovery it is safest to try to open also files whose type is unknown
os0file.c:
Fix a bug: in Windows, os_file_readdir_next_file() returned OS_FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN as the type of a regular file; this did not break mysqld, but did break ibbackup on Windows
at run-time, so that an executable compiled on Mac OS X 10.2 can
be run on Mac OS X 10.2 (without the work-around) and Mac OS X 10.3
and later with the work-aroud enabled.
Use the fcntl() file flush method on OS X; Apple disabled fsync() for internal disk drives, which caused corruption in power outages; the patch was recommended by an Apple engineer
Fix InnoDB bug: on HP-UX, with a 32-bit binary, InnoDB was only able to read or write <= 2 GB files; the reason was that InnoDB treated the return value of lseek() as a 32-bit integer; lseek was used on HP-UX-11 as a replacement for pread() and pwrite() because HAVE_BROKEN_PREAD was defined on that platform
Let MySQL check the existence of readdir_r with 3 arguments; Solaris seems to have just 2 args
Check the existence of readdir_r and localtime_r; even though MySQL does check these too, we need our own check for Hot Backup code
os0file.c:
Use re-entrant readdir_r where available
ut0ut.c:
Make a function to use thread-safe localtime_r where available; that particular function was not called from anywhere, though
Print more warnings to the .err log if ALTER TABLE ... IMPORT TABLESPACE fails for some reason
os0file.c:
Do not call exit(1) if os_file_delete() fails; remove unused parameter from
handle_error_no_exit()
fil0fil.c:
Allow DROP TABLE even if the .ibd file for the table does not exist
Add typecast from ulint to ssize_t in pread and pwrite, so that the type is according to the Linux man page; this will probably not help to fix the HP-UX 32-bit pwrite failure, since the compiler should do the appropriate typecasts anyway
Add more precise diagnostics about the state of the I/O threads of InnoDB; print in SHOW INNODB STATUS if the event wait semaphore of each I/O thread is set
