breaks SBR
This pre-requisite patch refactors the code for dropping tables, used
by DROP TABLE and DROP DATABASE. The patch moves the code for acquiring
metadata locks out of mysql_rm_table_part2() and makes it the
responsibility of the caller. This in preparation of changing the
DROP DATABASE implementation to acquire all metadata locks before any
changes are made. mysql_rm_table_part2() is renamed
mysql_rm_table_no_locks() to reflect the change.
DATABASE with open HANDLER"
Remove LOCK_create_db, database name locks, and use metadata locks instead.
This exposes CREATE/DROP/ALTER DATABASE statements to the graph-based
deadlock detector in MDL, and paves the way for a safe, deadlock-free
implementation of RENAME DATABASE.
Database DDL statements will now take exclusive metadata locks on
the database name, while table/view/routine DDL statements take
intention exclusive locks on the database name. This prevents race
conditions between database DDL and table/view/routine DDL.
(e.g. DROP DATABASE with concurrent CREATE/ALTER/DROP TABLE)
By adding database name locks, this patch implements
WL#4450 "DDL locking: CREATE/DROP DATABASE must use database locks" and
WL#4985 "DDL locking: namespace/hierarchical locks".
The patch also changes code to use init_one_table() where appropriate.
The new lock_table_names() function requires TABLE_LIST::db_length to
be set correctly, and this is taken care of by init_one_table().
This patch also adds a simple template to help work with
the mysys HASH data structure.
Most of the patch was written by Konstantin Osipov.
There was two problems:
The first was the symptom, caused by bad error handling in
ha_partition. It did not handle print_error etc. when
having no partitions (when used by dummy handler).
The second was the real problem that when dropping tables
it reused the table type (storage engine) from when the lock
was asked for, not the table type that it had when gaining
the exclusive name lock. So that it tried to delete tables
from wrong storage engines.
Solutions for the first problem was to accept some handler
calls to the partitioning handler even if it was not setup
with any partitions, and also if possible fallback
to use the base handler's default functions.
Solution for the second problem was to remove the optimization
to reuse the definition from the cache, instead always check
the frm-file when holding the LOCK_open mutex
(updated with a fix for a debug print crash and better
comments as required by reviewer, and removed optimization
to avoid reading the frm-file).
