Analysis: InnoDB writes also files that do not contain FIL-header.
This could lead incorrect analysis on os_fil_read_func function
when it tries to see is page page compressed based on FIL_PAGE_TYPE
field on FIL-header. With bad luck uncompressed page that does
not contain FIL-headed, the byte on FIL_PAGE_TYPE position could
indicate that page is page comrpessed.
Fix: Upper layer must indicate is file space page compressed
or not. If this is not yet known, we need to read the FIL-header
and find it out. Files that we know that are not page compressed
we can always just provide FALSE.
This problem affects only debug builds on PPC64.
There are at least two race conditions around
rw_lock_debug_mutex_enter and rw_lock_debug_mutex_exit:
- rw_lock_debug_waiters was loaded/stored without setting
appropriate locks/memory barriers.
- there is a gap between calls to os_event_reset() and
os_event_wait() and in such case we're supposed to pass
return value of the former to the latter.
Fixed by replacing self-cooked spinlocks with system mutexes.
These days system mutexes offer much better performance. OTOH
performance is not that critical for debug builds.
If mysql.innodb_table_stats or mysql.innodb_index_stats is not found or has
unexpected structure output that error only once and no other error for
every table trying to use them. If they do exists, then print fetch or
recalculation errors only once / table or index.

InnoDB mutex_exit() function calls __sync_test_and_set() to release
the lock. According to manual this function is supposed to create
"acquire" memory barrier whereas in fact we need "release" memory
barrier at mutex_exit().
The problem isn't repeatable with gcc because it creates
"acquire-release" memory barrier for __sync_test_and_set().
ATC creates just "acquire" barrier.
Fixed by creating proper barrier at mutex_exit() by using
__sync_lock_release() instead of __sync_test_and_set().
Merge the patches into MariaDB 10.0 main.
With this patch, parallel replication will now automatically retry a
transaction that fails due to deadlock or other temporary error, same as
single-threaded replication.
We catch deadlocks with InnoDB transactions due to enforced commit order. If
T1 must commit before T2 in parallel replication and T1 ends up waiting for T2
inside InnoDB, we kill T2 and retry it later to resolve the deadlock
automatically.
After-review changes.
For this patch in 10.0, we do not introduce a new public storage engine API,
we just fix the InnoDB/XtraDB issues. In 10.1, we will make a better public
API that can be used for all storage engines (MDEV-6429).
Eliminate the background thread that did deadlock kills asynchroneously.
Instead, we ensure that the InnoDB/XtraDB code can handle doing the kill from
inside the deadlock detection code (when thd_report_wait_for() needs to kill a
later thread to resolve a deadlock).
(We preserve the part of the original patch that introduces dedicated mutex
and condition for the slave init thread, to remove the abuse of
LOCK_thread_count for start/stop synchronisation of the slave init thread).
SLOW/CRASHES SEMAPHORE
Problem:
There are 2 lakh tables - fk_000001, fk_000002 ... fk_200000. All of them
are related to the same parent_table through a foreign key constraint.
When the parent_table is loaded into the dictionary cache, all the child table
will also be loaded. This is taking lot of time. Since this operation happens
when the dictionary latch is taken, the scenario leads to "long semaphore wait"
situation and the server gets killed.
Analysis:
A simple performance analysis showed that the slowness is because of the
dict_foreign_find() function. It does a linear search on two linked list
table->foreign_list and table->referenced_list, looking for a particular
foreign key object based on foreign->id as the key. This is called two
times for each foreign key object.
Solution:
Introduce a rb tree in table->foreign_rbt and table->referenced_rbt, which
are some sort of index on table->foreign_list and table->referenced_list
respectively, using foreign->id as the key. These rbt structures will be
solely used by dict_foreign_find().
rb#5599 approved by Vasil
This patch allows up to 64K pages for tables with DYNAMIC, COMPACT
and REDUNDANT row types. Tables with COMPRESSED row type allows
still only <= 16K page size. Note that single row size must be
still <= 16K and max key length is not affected.
special builds UNIV_PAGECOMPRESS_DEBUG and UNIV_MTFLUSH_DEBUG).
Added a new status variable compress_pages_page_compression_error to count possible
compression errors.
Analysis: This was merge error on file fil0fil.cc. fil_system mutex was taken twice because of this.
Fix: Remove unnecessary mutex_enter and fixed the issue with slow posix_fallocate usage.
unnecessary. There is a lot more index pages than there is normal pages.
Earlier all pages were compressed and this provided best performance and
compression ratio. Added status variable to show how many non index pages
are written.
innodb_force_primary_key default off. If option is true, create table without
primary key or unique key where all keyparts are NOT NULL is not
accepted. Instead an error message is printed. Variable value can
be changed with set global innodb_force_primary_key = <value>.
This is not yet a fix. This is change to print additional information at the point
when this assertion is going to happen. Print as much information about the pages
and index to find out why next page is not a compact format.
Added option to disable multi-threaded flush with innodb_use_mtflush = 0
option, by default multi-threaded flush is used.
Updated innochecksum tool, still it does not support new checksums.
