With MDEV-19384 fixed FTWRL releases HANDLER locks early, which allows
concurrent threads to go. Test case may get stuck on FTWRL waiting for
LOCK TABLES.
The deadlock happened between FTWRL under open HANDLER, LOCK TABLE and
DROP DATABASE
Fixed by reverting the previous fix for handler open in
lock_global_read_lock()
Fixed the original (wrong) test case in flush_read_lock.test to be
repeatable.
- Updated results
- Run mysqlcheck without --user-stat-tables=PREFERABLY to keep results
consistent
- Don't allow one to run analyze table under FTWRL as analyze table
nowadays has to update status tables.
MDEV-17772 - 3 way lock : ALTER, MDL, BACKUP STAGE BLOCK_DDL
While waiting for a (potentially long) RO transaction or SELECT, DDL and
LOCK TABLES ... WRITE hold protection against FTWRL and BACKUP STAGE.
This effectively makes FTWRL/BACKUP STAGE indirectly wait for this RO
transaction or SELECT to finish. Which is not great, as otherwise we
could do something useful meanwhile.
With this patch BACKUP lock is attempted to be acquired after TABLE/SCHEMA
locks. If this attempt fails, TABLE/SCHEMA locks gets released and we
start waiting for BACKUP lock. When wait finishes, BACKUP lock is released
(to avoid deadlocks) and we attempt to acquire all locks once again.
Other changes:
- Take MDL lock before testing if table exists as part of
CREATE TABLE ... IF EXISTS. This change was an effect of changes in
lock_table_name and removes an inconsistency where one could get
different error messages from CREATE TABLE .. IF EXISTS depending on
active mdl locks.
One effect of this change is that we don't binary log CREATE TABLE IF
EXISTS if the table exists. This was done because old code was sometimes
behaving inconsistenly (it was logged some time and not other times)
and sending the query to the slave could make the slave even more
inconsistent as there is not guarantee that the new table will have
the same definition as the old table on the master.
Part of MDEV-5336 Implement LOCK FOR BACKUP
The idea is that instead of waiting in close_cached_tables() for all
tables to be closed, we instead call flush_tables() that does:
- Flush not used objects in table cache to free memory
- Collect all tables that are open
- Call HA_EXTRA_FLUSH on the objects, to get them into "closed state"
- Added HA_EXTRA_FLUSH support to archive and CSV
- Added multi-user protection to HA_EXTRA_FLUSH in MyISAM and Aria
The benefit compared to old code is:
- FTWRL doesn't have to wait for long running read operations or
open HANDLER's
