Quoting from the bug report:
The pstack library has been included in MySQL since version
4.0.0. It's useless and should be removed.
Details: According to its own documentation, pstack only works
on Linux on x86 in 32 bit mode and requires LinuxThreads and a
statically linked binary. It doesn't really support any Linux
from 2003 or later and doesn't work on any other OS.
LOAD DATA into partitioned MyISAM table
Problem was that both partitioning and myisam
used the same table_share->mutex for different protections
(auto inc and repair).
Solved by adding a specific mutex for the partitioning
auto_increment.
Also adding destroying the ha_data structure in
free_table_share (which is to be propagated
into 5.5).
This is a 5.1 ONLY patch, already fixed in 5.5+.
REBUILD PARTITION under LOCK TABLE
Collapsed patch including updates from the reviews.
In case of failure in ALTER ... PARTITION under LOCK TABLE
the server could crash, due to it had modified the locked
table object, which was not reverted in case of failure,
resulting in a bad table definition used after the failed
command.
Solved by instead of altering the locked table object and
its partition_info struct, creating an internal temporary
intermediate table object used for altering,
just like the non partitioned mysql_alter_table.
So if an error occur before the alter operation is complete,
the original table is not modified at all.
But if the alter operation have succeeded so far that it
must be completed as whole,
the table is properly closed and reopened.
(The completion on failure is done by the ddl_log.)
Bug#57113: ha_partition::extra(ha_extra_function):
Assertion `m_extra_cache' failed
Fix for bug#55458 included DBUG_ASSERTS causing
debug builds of the server to crash on
another multi-table update.
Removed the asserts since they where wrong.
(updated after testing the patch in 5.5).
After the patch for Bug#54579, multi inserts done with INSERT DELAYED
are binlogged as normal INSERT. During processing of the statement,
a new query string without the DELAYED keyword is made. The problem
was that this new string was incorrectly made when the INSERT DELAYED
was part of a prepared statement - data was read outside the allocated
buffer.
The reason for this bug was that a pointer to the position of the
DELAYED keyword inside the query string was stored when parsing the
statement. This pointer was then later (at runtime) used (via pointer
subtraction) to find the number of characters to skip when making a
new query string without DELAYED. But when the statement was re-executed
as part of a prepared statement, the original pointer would be invalid
and the pointer subtraction would give a wrong/random result.
This patch fixes the problem by instead storing the offsets from the
beginning of the query string to the start and end of the DELAYED
keyword. These values will not depend on the memory position
of the query string at runtime and therefore not give wrong results
when the statement is executed in a prepared statement.
This bug was a regression introduced by the patch for Bug#54579.
No test case added as this bug is already covered by the existing
binlog.binlog_unsafe test case when running with valgrind.
but broken.
Before this patch, it was allowed to use stored functions in
HANDLER ... READ statements. The problem was that this functionality
was not really supported by the code. Proper locking would for example
not be performed, and it was also possible to break replication by
having stored functions that performed updates.
This patch disallows the use of stored functions in HANDLER ... READ.
Any such statement will now give an ER_NOT_SUPPORTED_YET error.
This is an incompatible change and should be reflected in the
documentation.
Test case added to handler_myisam/handler_innodb.test.
REPAIR of merge table
Bug #56422 CHECK TABLE run when the table is locked reports
corruption along with timeout
The crash happened if a table maintenance statement (ANALYZE TABLE,
REPAIR TABLE, etc.) was executed on a MERGE table and opening and
locking a child table failed. This could for example happen if a child
table did not exist or if a lock timeout happened while waiting for
a conflicting metadata lock to disappear.
Since opening and locking the MERGE table and its children failed,
the tables would be closed and the metadata locks released.
However, TABLE_LIST::table for the MERGE table would still be set,
with its value invalid since the tables had been closed.
This caused the table maintenance statement to try to continue
and upgrade the metadata lock on the MERGE table. But since the lock
already had been released, this caused a segfault.
This patch fixes the problem by setting TABLE_LIST::table to NULL
if open_and_lock_tables() fails. This prevents maintenance
statements from continuing and trying to upgrade the metadata lock.
The patch includes a 5.5 version of the fix for
Bug #46339 crash on REPAIR TABLE merge table USE_FRM.
This bug caused REPAIR TABLE ... USE_FRM to give an assert
when used on merge tables.
The patch also enables the CHECK TABLE statement for log tables.
Before, CHECK TABLE for log tables gave ER_CANT_LOCK_LOG_TABLE,
yet still counted the statement as successfully executed.
With the changes to table maintenance statement error handling
in this patch, CHECK TABLE would no longer be considered as
successful in this case. This would have caused upgrade scripts
to mistakenly think that the general and slow logs are corrupted
and have to be repaired. Enabling CHECK TABLES for log tables
prevents this from happening.
Finally, the patch changes the error message from "Corrupt" to
"Operation failed" for a number of issues not related to table
corruption. For example "Lock wait timeout exceeded" and
"Deadlock found trying to get lock".
Test cases added to merge.test and check.test.
Fixed incorrect handling of user credentials when authenticating
via proxy user. Now the server will use the proxies user's
access mask and host to update the security context runtime
structure when logging in.
Fixed a compilation warning with the embedded library.
Fixed a crash when doing a second GRANT PROXY on ''@'' due to
incomplete equality check logic.
Subselect executes twice, at JOIN::optimize stage
and at JOIN::execute stage. At optimize stage
Innodb prebuilt struct which is used for the
retrieval of column values is initialized in.
ha_innobase::index_read(), prebuilt->sql_stat_start is true.
After QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT finished his job it
restores read_set/write_set bitmaps with initial values
and deactivates one of the handlers used by
QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT in JOIN::cleanup
(it's the case when we reuse original handler as one of
handlers required by QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT object).
On second subselect execution inactive handler is activated
in QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::reset, file->ha_index_init().
In ha_index_init Innodb prebuilt struct is reinitialized
with inappropriate read_set/write_set bitmaps. Further
reinitialization in ha_innobase::index_read() does not
happen as prebuilt->sql_stat_start is false.
It leads to partial retrieval of required field values
and we get a mix of field values from different records
in the record buffer.
The fix is to reset
read_set/write_set bitmaps as these values
are required for proper intialization of
internal InnoDB struct which is used for
the retrieval of column values
(see build_template(), ha_innodb.cc)
adding new indexes
A fast alter table requires that the existing (old) table
and indices are unchanged (i.e only new indices can be
added). To verify this, the layout and flags of the old
table/indices are compared for equality with the new.
The PACK_KEYS option is a no-op in InnoDB, but the flag
exists, and is used in the table compare. We need to
check this (table) option flag before deciding whether an
index should be packed or not. If the table has
explicitly set PACK_KEYS to 0, the created indices should
not be marked as packed/packable.
compression protocol.
The loss of connection was caused by a malformed packet
sent by the server in case when query cache was in use.
When storing data in the query cache, the query cache
memory allocation algorithm had a tendency to reduce
the amount of memory block necessary to store a result
set, up to finally storing the entire result set in a single
block. With a significant result set, this memory block
could turn out to be quite large - 30, 40 MB and on.
When such a result set was sent to the client, the entire
memory block was compressed and written to network as a
single network packet. However, the length of the
network packet is limited by 0xFFFFFF (16MB), since
the packet format only allows 3 bytes for packet length.
As a result, a malformed, overly large packet
with truncated length would be sent to the client
and break the client/server protocol.
The solution is, when sending result sets from the query
cache, to ensure that the data is chopped into
network packets of size <= 16MB, so that there
is no corruption of packet length. This solution,
however, has a shortcoming: since the result set
is still stored in the query cache as a single block,
at the time of sending, we've lost boundaries of individual
logical packets (one logical packet = one row of the result
set) and thus can end up sending a truncated logical
packet in a compressed network packet.
As a result, on the client we may require more memory than
max_allowed_packet to keep, both, the truncated
last logical packet, and the compressed next packet.
This never (or in practice never) happens without compression,
since without compression it's very unlikely that
a) a truncated logical packet would remain on the client
when it's time to read the next packet
b) a subsequent logical packet that is being read would be
so large that size-of-new-packet + size-of-old-packet-tail >
max_allowed_packet.
To remedy this issue, we send data in 1MB sized packets,
that's below the current client default of 16MB for
max_allowed_packet, but large enough to ensure there is no
unnecessary overhead from too many syscalls per result set.
The problem was that RENAME TABLE caused an assert if the system variable
lower_case_table_names was 2 (default on Mac OS X) and the old table name
was given in upper case. This caused lowercase_table2.test to fail.
The assert checks that an exclusive metadata lock is held by the connection
trying to do RENAME TABLE - specificially during updates of table triggers.
The assert was triggered since the check is case sensitive and the lock
was held on the normalized (lower case) version of the table name.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure a normalized version of the
table name is used for the metadata lock check, while using a non-normalized
version of the table name for the rename of trigger files. The same is done
for ALTER TABLE ... RENAME.
Regression testing for the bug itself is already covered by
lowercase_table2.test. Additional coverage added to lowercase_fs_off.test.
tables".
Attempting to issue an INSERT DELAYED statement for a MERGE
table might have caused a deadlock if it happened as part of
a transaction or under LOCK TABLES, and there was a concurrent
DDL or LOCK TABLES ... WRITE statement which tried to lock one
of its underlying tables.
The problem occurred when a delayed insert handler thread tried
to open a MERGE table and discovered that to do this it had also
to open all underlying tables and hence acquire metadata
locks on them. Since metadata locks on the underlying tables were
not pre-acquired by the connection thread executing INSERT DELAYED,
attempts to do so might lead to waiting. In this case the
connection thread had to wait for the delayed insert thread.
If the thread which was preventing the lock on the underlying table
from being acquired had to wait for the connection thread (due to
this or other metadata locks), a deadlock occurred.
This deadlock was not detected by the MDL deadlock detector since
waiting for the handler thread by the connection thread is not
represented in the wait-for graph.
This patch solves the problem by ensuring that the delayed
insert handler thread never tries to open underlying tables
of a MERGE table. Instead open_tables() is aborted right after
the parent table is opened and a ER_DELAYED_NOT_SUPPORTED
error is emitted (which is passed to the connection thread and
ultimately to the user).
