The assertion failed in handler::ha_reset upon SELECT under
READ UNCOMMITTED from table with index on virtual column.
This was the debug-only failure, though the problem is mush wider:
* MY_BITMAP is a structure containing my_bitmap_map, the latter is a raw
bitmap.
* read_set, write_set and vcol_set of TABLE are the pointers to MY_BITMAP
* The rest of MY_BITMAPs are stored in TABLE and TABLE_SHARE
* The pointers to the stored MY_BITMAPs, like orig_read_set etc, and
sometimes all_set and tmp_set, are assigned to the pointers.
* Sometimes tmp_use_all_columns is used to substitute the raw bitmap
directly with all_set.bitmap
* Sometimes even bitmaps are directly modified, like in
TABLE::update_virtual_field(): bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) is called.
The last three bullets in the list, when used together (which is mostly
always) make the program flow cumbersome and impossible to follow,
notwithstanding the errors they cause, like this MDEV-17556, where tmp_set
pointer was assigned to read_set, write_set and vcol_set, then its bitmap
was substituted with all_set.bitmap by dbug_tmp_use_all_columns() call,
and then bitmap_clear_all(&tmp_set) was applied to all this.
To untangle this knot, the rule should be applied:
* Never substitute bitmaps! This patch is about this.
orig_*, all_set bitmaps are never substituted already.
This patch changes the following function prototypes:
* tmp_use_all_columns, dbug_tmp_use_all_columns
to accept MY_BITMAP** and to return MY_BITMAP * instead of my_bitmap_map*
* tmp_restore_column_map, dbug_tmp_restore_column_maps to accept
MY_BITMAP* instead of my_bitmap_map*
These functions now will substitute read_set/write_set/vcol_set directly,
and won't touch underlying bitmaps.
The used code is largely based on code from Tencent
The problem is that in some rare cases there may be a conflict between .frm
files and the files in the storage engine. In this case the DROP TABLE
was not able to properly drop the table.
Some MariaDB/MySQL forks has solved this by adding a FORCE option to
DROP TABLE. After some discussion among MariaDB developers, we concluded
that users expects that DROP TABLE should always work, even if the
table would not be consistent. There should not be a need to use a
separate keyword to ensure that the table is really deleted.
The used solution is:
- If a .frm table doesn't exists, try dropping the table from all storage
engines.
- If the .frm table exists but the table does not exist in the engine
try dropping the table from all storage engines.
- Update storage engines using many table files (.CVS, MyISAM, Aria) to
succeed with the drop even if some of the files are missing.
- Add HTON_AUTOMATIC_DELETE_TABLE to handlerton's where delete_table()
is not needed and always succeed. This is used by ha_delete_table_force()
to know which handlers to ignore when trying to drop a table without
a .frm file.
The disadvantage of this solution is that a DROP TABLE on a non existing
table will be a bit slower as we have to ask all active storage engines
if they know anything about the table.
Other things:
- Added a new flag MY_IGNORE_ENOENT to my_delete() to not give an error
if the file doesn't exist. This simplifies some of the code.
- Don't clear thd->error in ha_delete_table() if there was an active
error. This is a bug fix.
- handler::delete_table() will not abort if first file doesn't exists.
This is bug fix to handle the case when a drop table was aborted in
the middle.
- Cleaned up mysql_rm_table_no_locks() to ensure that if_exists uses
same code path as when it's not used.
- Use non_existing_Table_error() to detect if table didn't exists.
Old code used different errors tests in different position.
- Table_triggers_list::drop_all_triggers() now drops trigger file if
it can't be parsed instead of leaving it hanging around (bug fix)
- InnoDB doesn't anymore print error about .frm file out of sync with
InnoDB directory if .frm file does not exists. This change was required
to be able to try to drop an InnoDB file when .frm doesn't exists.
- Fixed bug in mi_delete_table() where the .MYD file would not be dropped
if the .MYI file didn't exists.
- Fixed memory leak in Mroonga when deleting non existing table
- Fixed memory leak in Connect when deleting non existing table
Bugs fixed introduced by the original version of this commit:
MDEV-22826 Presence of Spider prevents tables from being force-deleted from
other engines
Prototype change:
- virtual ha_rows records_in_range(uint inx, key_range *min_key,
- key_range *max_key)
+ virtual ha_rows records_in_range(uint inx, const key_range *min_key,
+ const key_range *max_key,
+ page_range *res)
The handler can ignore the page_range parameter. In the case the handler
updates the parameter, the optimizer can deduce the following:
- If previous range's last key is on the same block as next range's first
key
- If the current key range is in one block
- We can also assume that the first and last block read are cached!
This can be used for a better calculation of IO seeks when we
estimate the cost of a range index scan.
The parameter is fully implemented for MyISAM, Aria and InnoDB.
A separate patch will update handler::multi_range_read_info_const() to
take the benefits of this change and also remove the double
records_in_range() calls that are not anymore needed.
MDEV-19486 and one more similar bug appeared because handler::write_row() interface
welcomes to modify buffer by storage engine. But callers are not ready for that
thus bugs are possible in future.
handler::write_row():
handler::ha_write_row(): make argument const
Part of MDEV-5336 Implement LOCK FOR BACKUP
- Added new locks to MDL_BACKUP for all stages of backup locks and
a new MDL lock needed for backup stages.
- Renamed MDL_BACKUP_STMT to MDL_BACKUP_DDL
- flush_tables() takes a new parameter that decides what should be flushed.
- InnoDB, Aria (transactional tables with checksums), Blackhole, Federated
and Federatedx tables are marked to be safe for online backup. We are
using MDL_BACKUP_TRANS_DML instead of MDL_BACKUP_DML locks for these
which allows any DML's to proceed for these tables during the whole
backup process until BACKUP STAGE COMMIT which will block the final
commit.
This will make it easier to how memory allocation is done when debugging
with either DBUG or gdb.
Will especially help when debugging stored procedures
Main change is a name argument as second argument to init_alloc_root()
init_sql_alloc()
Other things:
- Added DBUG_ENTER/EXIT to some Virtual_tmp_table functions
- Fix win64 pointer truncation warnings
(usually coming from misusing 0x%lx and long cast in DBUG)
- Also fix printf-format warnings
Make the above mentioned warnings fatal.
- fix pthread_join on Windows to set return value.
Do not silence uncertain cases, or fix any bugs.
The only functional change should be that ha_federated::extra()
is not calling DBUG_PRINT to report an unhandled case for
HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DROP.

Benefits of this patch:
- Removed a lot of calls to strlen(), especially for field_string
- Strings generated by parser are now const strings, less chance of
accidently changing a string
- Removed a lot of calls with LEX_STRING as parameter (changed to pointer)
- More uniform code
- Item::name_length was not kept up to date. Now fixed
- Several bugs found and fixed (Access to null pointers,
access of freed memory, wrong arguments to printf like functions)
- Removed a lot of casts from (const char*) to (char*)
Changes:
- This caused some ABI changes
- lex_string_set now uses LEX_CSTRING
- Some fucntions are now taking const char* instead of char*
- Create_field::change and after changed to LEX_CSTRING
- handler::connect_string, comment and engine_name() changed to LEX_CSTRING
- Checked printf() related calls to find bugs. Found and fixed several
errors in old code.
- A lot of changes from LEX_STRING to LEX_CSTRING, especially related to
parsing and events.
- Some changes from LEX_STRING and LEX_STRING & to LEX_CSTRING*
- Some changes for char* to const char*
- Added printf argument checking for my_snprintf()
- Introduced null_clex_str, star_clex_string, temp_lex_str to simplify
code
- Added item_empty_name and item_used_name to be able to distingush between
items that was given an empty name and items that was not given a name
This is used in sql_yacc.yy to know when to give an item a name.
- select table_name."*' is not anymore same as table_name.*
- removed not used function Item::rename()
- Added comparision of item->name_length before some calls to
my_strcasecmp() to speed up comparison
- Moved Item_sp_variable::make_field() from item.h to item.cc
- Some minimal code changes to avoid copying to const char *
- Fixed wrong error message in wsrep_mysql_parse()
- Fixed wrong code in find_field_in_natural_join() where real_item() was
set when it shouldn't
- ER_ERROR_ON_RENAME was used with extra arguments.
- Removed some (wrong) ER_OUTOFMEMORY, as alloc_root will already
give the error.
TODO:
- Check possible unsafe casts in plugin/auth_examples/qa_auth_interface.c
- Change code to not modify LEX_CSTRING for database name
(as part of lower_case_table_names)
This was done to make it clear that a update_row() should not change the
row.
This was not done for handler::write_row() as this function still needs
to update auto_increment values in the row. This should at some point
be moved to handler::ha_write_row() after which write_row can also have
const arguments.
- Changed error handlers interface so that they can change error level in
the handler
- Give warnings and errors when calculating virtual columns
- On insert/update error is fatal in strict mode.
- SELECT and DELETE will only give a warning if a virtual field generates an error
- Added VCOL_UPDATE_FOR_DELETE and VCOL_UPDATE_INDEX_FOR_REPLACE to be able to
easily detect in update_virtual_fields() if we should use an error
handler to mask errors or not.
