This was a deadlock between LOCK TABLES/CREATE DATABASE in one connection
and DROP DATABASE in another. It only happened if the table locked by
LOCK TABLES was in the database to be dropped. The deadlock is similar
to the one in Bug#48940, but with LOCK TABLES instead of an active
transaction.
The order of events needed to trigger the deadlock was:
1) Connection 1 locks table db1.t1 using LOCK TABLES. It will now
have a metadata lock on the table name.
2) Connection 2 issues DROP DATABASE db1. This will wait inside
the MDL subsystem for the lock on db1.t1 to go away. While waiting, it
will hold the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex.
3) Connection 1 issues CREATE DATABASE (database name irrelevant).
This will hang trying to lock the same mutex. Since this is the connection
holding the metadata lock blocking Connection 2, we have a deadlock.
This deadlock would also happen for earlier trees without MDL, but
there DROP DATABASE would wait for a table to be removed from the
table definition cache.
This patch fixes the problem by prohibiting CREATE DATABASE in LOCK TABLES
mode. In the example above, this prevents Connection 1 from hanging trying
to get the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. Note that other commands that use
LOCK_mysql_create_db (ALTER/DROP DATABASE) are already prohibited in
LOCK TABLES mode.
Incompatible change: CREATE DATABASE is now disallowed in LOCK TABLES mode.
Test case added to schema.test.

message:
Bug#25858 Some DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES can cause deadlocks
When a client (connection) holds a lock on a table and attempts to
drop (obtain a exclusive lock) on a second table that is already
held by a second client and the second client then attempts to
drop the table that is held by the first client, leads to a
circular wait deadlock. This scenario is very similar to trying to
drop (or rename) a table while holding read locks and are
correctly forbidden.
The solution is to allow a drop table operation to continue only
if the table being dropped is write (exclusively) locked, or if
the table is temporary, or if the client is not holding any
locks. Using this scheme prevents the creation of a circular
chain in which each client is waiting for one table that the
next client in the chain is holding.
This is incompatible change, as can be seen by number of tests
cases that needed to be fixed, but is consistent with respect to
behavior of the different scenarios in which the circular wait
might happen.
to 5.1 partially. This patch brings what was left to mysql-next-mr.

message:
Fix for Bug#43138: DROP DATABASE failure does not clean up message list.
The problem was that the high-level function mysql_rm_db() invoked
low-level mysql_rm_table_part2(), which reported low-level error
(Unknown table) if SE refused to delete a table. Also when
mysql_rm_table_part2() reported an error, it didn't add corresponding
warning into the list (because it is used from other places where such
behaviour is required).
The fix is to
1. Remove no_warnings_for_error usage from sql_table.cc
2. Improve internal error handler support in THD, so that
a stack of error handlers is allowed.
3. Create an internal error handler (Drop_table_error_handler)
to silence useless warnings.
4. Use the handler in DROP DATABASE and DROP TABLE statements.

table with backticks
(Thanks to Lu Jingdong, though I did not take his patch directly, as
it contained a significant flaw.)
It wasn't a backtick/parsing problem. We merely didn't anticipate
and allocate enough space to handle the optional "#mysql50#" table-
name prefix.
Now, allocate that extra space in case we need it when we look up
a legacy table to get its file's name.
The cause of the crash is an assertion failure that we do not emit
an error message (grant not found) and then return "ok". The
assertion is valid, and we were ignoring the buggy behavior prior
to the "Diagnostics" result-verification.
Use an error handler to mutate innocuous missing-grant errors, when
removing routines, into warnings.
Moved .progress files into the log directory
Moved 'cluster' database tables into the MySQL database, to not have 'cluster' beeing a reserved database name
Fixed bug where mysqld got a core dump when trying to use a table created by MySQL 3.23
Fixed some compiler warnings
Fixed small memory leak in libmysql
Note that this doesn't changeset doesn't include the new mysqldump.c code required to run some tests. This will be added when I merge 5.0 to 5.1
server to crash".
Crash caused by assertion failure happened when one ran SHOW OPEN TABLES
while concurrently doing DROP TABLE (or RENAME TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE
or any other command that takes name-lock) in other connection.
For non-debug version of server problem exposed itself as wrong output
of SHOW OPEN TABLES statement (it was missing name-locked tables).
Finally in 5.1 both debug and non-debug versions simply crashed in
this situation due to NULL-pointer dereference.
This problem was caused by the fact that table placeholders which were
added to table cache in order to obtain name-lock had TABLE_SHARE::table_name
set to 0. Therefore they broke assumption that this member is non-0 for
all tables in table cache which was checked by assert in list_open_tables()
(in 5.1 this function simply relies on it).
The fix simply sets this member for such placeholders to appropriate value
making this assumption true again.
This patch also includes test for similar bug 12212 "Crash that happens
during removing of database name from cache" reappeared in 5.1 as bug 19403.
FOUND is not a reserved keyword anymore
Added Item_field::set_no_const_sub() to be able to mark fields that can't be substituted
Added 'simple_select' method to be able to quickly determinate if a select_result is a normal SELECT
Note that the 5.0 tree is not yet up to date: Sanja will have to fix multi-update-locks for this merge to be complete
