If semi-sync is switched off then on while a transaction is
in-between binlogging and waiting for an ACK, the semi-sync state of
the transaction is removed, leading to a debug assertion that
indicates the transaction tried to wait, but cannot receive an ACK
signal. More specifically, when semi-sync is switched off, the
Active_tranx list is cleared (where a transaction adds an entry to
this list during binlogging), and each entry in this list saves the
thread which will wait for an ACK, and the thread has the COND
variable to signal to wake itself. So if the entry is lost, the
Ack_receiver thread won’t be able to find the thread to wake up when
an ACK comes in
The fix is to ensure that the entry exists before awaiting the ACK,
and if there is no entry, skip the wait. In debug builds, an
informative message is written explaining that the transaction is
skipping its wait. Additional debug-build only logic is added to
ensure that the cause of the missing entry is due to semi-sync being
turned off and on

In 10.0 there was an assert to ensure that there were semi
sync clients before removing one, but it was removed in 10.1.
This patch adds the assertion back.
Similar to #2480.
567b681 introduced safe_strcpy() to minimize the use of C with
potentially unsafe memory overflow with strcpy() whose use is
discouraged.
Replace instances of strcpy() with safe_strcpy() where possible, limited

When using semi-sync replication with
rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_point=AFTER_COMMIT, the performance of the
primary can significantly reduce compared to AFTER_SYNC's
performance for workloads with many concurrent users executing
transactions. This is because all connections on the primary share
the same cond_wait variable/mutex pair, so any time an ACK is
received from a replica, all waiting connections are awoken to check
if the ACK was for itself, which is done in mutual exclusion.
This patch changes this such that the waiting THD will use its own
local condition variable, and the ACK receiver thread only signals
connections which have been ACKed for wakeup. That is, the
THD::LOCK_wakeup_ready condition variable is re-used for this
purpose, and the Active_tranx queue nodes are extended to hold the
waiting thread, so it can be signalled once ACKed.
Additionally:
1) Removed part of MDEV-11853 additions, which allowed suspended
connection threads awaiting their semi-sync ACKs to live until their
ACKs had been received. This part, however, wasn't needed. That is,
all that was needed was for the Ack_thread to survive. So now the
connection threads are killed during phase 1. Thereby
THD::is_awaiting_semisync_ack, and all its related code was removed.
2) COND_binlog_send is repurposed to signal on the condition when
Active_tranx is emptied during clear_active_tranx_nodes.
3) At master shutdown (when waiting for slaves), instead of the
main loop individually waiting for each ACK, await_slave_reply()
(renamed await_all_slave_replies()) just waits once for the
repurposed COND_binlog_send to signal it is empty.
4) Test rpl_semi_sync_shutdown_await_ack is updates as following:
4.1) Added test case (adapted from Kristian Nielsen) to ensure
that if a thread awaiting its ACK is killed while SHUTDOWN WAIT FOR
ALL SLAVES is issued, the primary will still wait for the ACK from
the killed thread.
4.2) As connections which by-passed phase 1 of thread killing no
longer are delayed for kill until phase 2, we can no longer query
yes/no tx after receiving an ACK/timeout. The check for these
variables is removed.
4.3) Comment descriptions are updated which mention that the
connection is alive; and adjusted to be the Ack_thread.

rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled_consistent.test and the first part of
the commit message comes from Brandon Nesterenko.
A test to show how to induce the "Read semi-sync reply magic number
error" message on a primary. In short, if semi-sync is turned on
during the hand-shake process between a primary and replica, but
later a user negates the rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled variable while
the replica's IO thread is running; if the io thread exits, the
replica can skip a necessary call to kill_connection() in
repl_semisync_slave.slave_stop() due to its reliance on a global
variable. Then, the replica will send a COM_QUIT packet to the
primary on an active semi-sync connection, causing the magic number
error.
The test in this patch exits the IO thread by forcing an error;
though note a call to STOP SLAVE could also do this, but it ends up
needing more synchronization. That is, the STOP SLAVE command also
tries to kill the VIO of the replica, which makes a race with the IO
thread to try and send the COM_QUIT before this happens (which would
need more debug_sync to get around). See THD::awake_no_mutex for
details as to the killing of the replica’s vio.
Notes:
- The MariaDB documentation does not make it clear that when one
enables semi-sync replication it does not matter if one enables
it first in the master or slave. Any order works.
Changes done:
- The rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled variable is now a default value for
when semisync is started. The variable does not anymore affect
semisync if it is already running. This fixes the original reported
bug. Internally we now use repl_semisync_slave.get_slave_enabled()
instead of rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled. To check if semisync is
active on should check the @@rpl_semi_sync_slave_status variable (as
before).
- The semisync protocol conflicts in the way that the original
MySQL/MariaDB client-server protocol was designed (client-server
send and reply packets are strictly ordered and includes a packet
number to allow one to check if a packet is lost). When using
semi-sync the master and slave can send packets at 'any time', so
packet numbering does not work. The 'solution' has been that each
communication starts with packet number 1, but in some cases there
is still a chance that the packet number check can fail. Fixed by
adding a flag (pkt_nr_can_be_reset) in the NET struct that one can
use to signal that packet number checking should not be done. This
is flag is set when semi-sync is used.
- Added Master_info::semi_sync_reply_enabled to allow one to configure
some slaves with semisync and other other slaves without semisync.
Removed global variable semi_sync_need_reply that would not work
with multi-master.
- Repl_semi_sync_master::report_reply_packet() can now recognize
the COM_QUIT packet from semisync slave and not give a
"Read semi-sync reply magic number error" error for this case.
The slave will be removed from the Ack listener.
- On Windows, don't stop semisync Ack listener just because one
slave connection is using socket_id > FD_SETSIZE.
- Removed busy loop in Ack_receiver::run() by using
"Self-pipe trick" to signal new slave and stop Ack_receiver.
- Changed some Repl_semi_sync_slave functions that always returns 0
from int to void.
- Added Repl_semi_sync_slave::slave_reconnect().
- Removed dummy_function Repl_semi_sync_slave::reset_slave().
- Removed some duplicate semisync notes from the error log.
- Add test of "if (get_slave_enabled() && semi_sync_need_reply)"
before calling Repl_semi_sync_slave::slave_reply().
(Speeds up the code as we can skip all initializations).
- If epl_semisync_slave.slave_reply() fails, we disable semisync
for that connection.
- We do not call semisync.switch_off() if there are no active slaves.
Instead we check in Repl_semi_sync_master::commit_trx() if there are
no active threads. This simplices the code.
- Changed assert() to DBUG_ASSERT() to ensure that the DBUG log is
flushed in case of asserts.
- Removed the internal rpl_semi_sync_slave_status as it is not needed
anymore. The @@rpl_semi_sync_slave_status status variable is now
mapped to rpl_semi_sync_enabled.
- Removed rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled as it is not needed anymore.
Repl_semi_sync_slave::get_slave_enabled() contains the active status.
- Added checking that we do not add a slave twice with
Ack_receiver::add_slave(). This could happen with old code.
- Removed Repl_semi_sync_master::check_and_switch() as it is not
needed anymore.
- Ensure that when we call Ack_receiver::remove_slave() that the slave
is removed from the listener before function returns.
- Call listener.listen_on_sockets() outside of mutex for better
performance and less contested mutex.
- Ensure that listening is ignoring newly added slaves when checking for
responses.
- Fixed the master ack_receiver listener is not killed if there are no
connected slaves (and thus stop semisync handling of future
connections). This could happen if all slaves sockets where would be
marked as unreliable.
- Added unlink() to base_ilist_iterator and remove() to
I_List_iterator. This enables us to remove 'dead' slaves in
Ack_recever::run().
- kill_zombie_dump_threads() now does killing of dump threads properly.
- It can now kill several threads (should be impossible but could
happen if IO slaves reconnects very fast).
- We now wait until the dump thread is done before starting the
dump.
- Added an error if kill_zombie_dump_threads() fails.
- Set thd->variables.server_id before calling
kill_zombie_dump_threads(). This simplies the code.
- Added a lot of comments both in code and tests.
- Removed DBUG_EVALUATE_IF "failed_slave_start" as it is not used.
Test changes:
- rpl.rpl_session_var2 added which runs rpl.rpl_session_var test with
semisync enabled.
- Some timings changed slight with startup of slave which caused
rpl_binlog_dump_slave_gtid_state_info.text to fail as it checked the
error log file before the slave had started properly. Fixed by
adding wait_for_pattern_in_file.inc that allows waiting for the
pattern to appear in the log file.
- Tests have been updated so that we first set
rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled on the master and then set
rpl_semi_sync_slave_enabled on the slaves (this is according to how
the MariaDB documentation document how to setup semi-sync).
- Error text "Master server does not have semi-sync enabled" has been
replaced with "Master server does not support semi-sync" for the
case when the master supports semi-sync but semi-sync is not
enabled.
Other things:
- Some trivial cleanups in Repl_semi_sync_master::update_sync_header().
- We should in 11.3 changed the default value for
rpl-semi-sync-master-wait-no-slave from TRUE to FALSE as the TRUE
does not make much sense as default. The main difference with using
FALSE is that we do not wait for semisync Ack if there are no slave
threads. In the case of TRUE we wait once, which did not bring any
notable benefits except slower startup of master configured for
using semisync.

This solves the problem reported in MDEV-32960 where a new
slave may not be registered in time and the master disables
semi sync because of that.
Semisync ack (master side) receiver thread is made to report
details of faced errors.
In case of 'magic byte' error, a hexdump of the received packet
is always (level) NOTEd into the error log.
In other cases an exact server level error is print out
as a warning (as it may not be critical) under log_warnings > 2.
An MTR test added for the magic byte error. For others existing mtr
tests cover that, provided log_warnings > 2 is set.
- Description:
- Before 10.3.8 semisync was a plugin that is built into the server with
MDEV-13073,starting with commit cbc71485e2.
There are still some usage of `rpl_semi_sync_master` in mtr.
Note:
- To recognize the replica in the `dump_thread`, replica is creating
local variable `rpl_semi_sync_slave` (the keyword of plugin) in
function `request_transmit`, that is catched by primary in
`is_semi_sync_slave()`. This is the user variable and as such not
related to the obsolete plugin.
- Found in `sys_vars.all_vars` and `rpl_semi_sync_wait_point` tests,
usage of plugins `rpl_semi_sync_master`, `rpl_semi_sync_slave`.
The former test is disabled by default (`sys_vars/disabled.def`)
and marked as `obsolete`, however this patch will remove the queries.
- Add cosmetic fixes to semisync codebase

Problem:
========
If a primary is shutdown during an active semi-sync connection
during the period when the primary is awaiting an ACK, the primary
hard kills the active communication thread and does not ensure the
transaction was received by a replica. This can lead to an
inconsistent replication state.
Solution:
========
During shutdown, the primary should wait for an ACK or timeout
before hard killing a thread which is awaiting a communication. We
extend the `SHUTDOWN WAIT FOR SLAVES` logic to identify and ignore
any threads waiting for a semi-sync ACK in phase 1. Then, before
stopping the ack receiver thread, the shutdown is delayed until all
waiting semi-sync connections receive an ACK or time out. The
connections are then killed in phase 2.
Notes:
1) There remains an unresolved corner case that affects this
patch. MDEV-28141: Slave crashes with Packets out of order when
connecting to a shutting down master. Specifically, If a slave is
connecting to a master which is actively shutting down, the slave
can crash with a "Packets out of order" assertion error. To get
around this issue in the MTR tests, the primary will wait a small
amount of time before phase 1 killing threads to let the replicas
safely stop (if applicable).
2) This patch also fixes MDEV-28114: Semi-sync Master ACK Receiver
Thread Can Error on COM_QUIT

Problem:
========
When both semi-sync and slave compression are enabled, the numbering
on packet headers can become out of sync between the primary and
replica servers. More specifically, after the master flushes its
write, it should increment the counters that track packets. The
bug is such that the master only updates the normal packet counter
and leaves the compressed packet counter alone.
Solution:
========
After the master flushes, additionally increment the compressed
packet counter.

Originally introduced by e972125f1 to avoid harmless wait for
LOCK_global_system_variables in a newly created thread, which creation was
initiated by system variable update.
At the same time it opens dangerous hole, when system variable update
thread already released LOCK_global_system_variables and ack_receiver
thread haven't yet completed new THD construction. In this case THD
constructor goes completely unprotected.
Since ack_receiver.stop() waits for the thread to go down, we have to
temporarily release LOCK_global_system_variables so that it doesn't
deadlock with ack_receiver.run(). Unfortunately it breaks atomicity
of rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled updates and makes them not serialized.
LOCK_rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled was introduced to workaround the above.

Part of MDEV-14984 - regression in connect performance
The patch fixes a fired assert in the semisync master module. The assert
caught attempt to switch semisync off (per rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_no_slave = OFF)
when it was not even initialized (per rpl_semi_sync_master_enabled = OFF).
The switching-off execution branch is relocated under one that executes
enable_master() first.
A minor cleaup is done to remove the int return from two functions that
did not return anything but an error which could not happen in the functions.
Handle string length as size_t, consistently (almost always:))
Change function prototypes to accept size_t, where in the past
ulong or uint were used. change local/member variables to size_t
when appropriate.
This fix excludes rocksdb, spider,spider, sphinx and connect for now.
This was done in, among other things:
- thd->db and thd->db_length
- TABLE_LIST tablename, db, alias and schema_name
- Audit plugin database name
- lex->db
- All db and table names in Alter_table_ctx
- st_select_lex db
Other things:
- Changed a lot of functions to take const LEX_CSTRING* as argument
for db, table_name and alias. See init_one_table() as an example.
- Changed some function arguments from LEX_CSTRING to const LEX_CSTRING
- Changed some lists from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING
- threads_mysql.result changed because process list_db wasn't always
correctly updated
- New append_identifier() function that takes LEX_CSTRING* as arguments
- Added new element tmp_buff to Alter_table_ctx to separate temp name
handling from temporary space
- Ensure we store the length after my_casedn_str() of table/db names
- Removed not used version of rename_table_in_stat_tables()
- Changed Natural_join_column::table_name and db_name() to never return
NULL (used for print)
- thd->get_db() now returns db as a printable string (thd->db.str or "")
and specifically the ack receiving functionality.
Semisync is turned to be static instead of plugin so its functions
are invoked at the same points as RUN_HOOKS.
The RUN_HOOKS and the observer interface remain to be removed by later
patch.
Todo:
React on killed status by repl_semisync_master.wait_after_sync(). Currently
Repl_semi_sync_master::commit_trx does not check the killed status.
