which implemented new type-of-operation-aware metadata
locks and added a wait-for graph based deadlock detector
to the MDL subsystem (this patch fixed bug #46272 "MySQL
5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock" and bug #37346
"innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
table").
These hangs were caused by missing include of
wait_condition.inc. This fix simply adds them.
Add a wait-for graph based deadlock detector to the
MDL subsystem.
Fixes bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock" and
bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and
alter table".
The first bug manifested itself as an unwarranted abort of a
transaction with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error by a concurrent ALTER
statement, when this transaction tried to repeat use of a
table, which it has already used in a similar fashion before
ALTER started.
The second bug showed up as a deadlock between table-level
locks and InnoDB row locks, which was "detected" only after
innodb_lock_wait_timeout timeout.
A transaction would start using the table and modify a few
rows.
Then ALTER TABLE would come in, and start copying rows
into a temporary table. Eventually it would stumble on
the modified records and get blocked on a row lock.
The first transaction would try to do more updates, and get
blocked on thr_lock.c lock.
This situation of circular wait would only get resolved
by a timeout.
Both these bugs stemmed from inadequate solutions to the
problem of deadlocks occurring between different
locking subsystems.
In the first case we tried to avoid deadlocks between metadata
locking and table-level locking subsystems, when upgrading shared
metadata lock to exclusive one.
Transactions holding the shared lock on the table and waiting for
some table-level lock used to be aborted too aggressively.
We also allowed ALTER TABLE to start in presence of transactions
that modify the subject table. ALTER TABLE acquires
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock at start, and that block all writes
against the table (naturally, we don't want any writes to be lost
when switching the old and the new table). TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ
lock, in turn, would block the started transaction on thr_lock.c
lock, should they do more updates. This, again, lead to the need
to abort such transactions.
The second bug occurred simply because we didn't have any
mechanism to detect deadlocks between the table-level locks
in thr_lock.c and row-level locks in InnoDB, other than
innodb_lock_wait_timeout.
This patch solves both these problems by moving lock conflicts
which are causing these deadlocks into the metadata locking
subsystem, thus making it possible to avoid or detect such
deadlocks inside MDL.
To do this we introduce new type-of-operation-aware metadata
locks, which allow MDL subsystem to know not only the fact that
transaction has used or is going to use some object but also what
kind of operation it has carried out or going to carry out on the
object.
This, along with the addition of a special kind of upgradable
metadata lock, allows ALTER TABLE to wait until all
transactions which has updated the table to go away.
This solves the second issue.
Another special type of upgradable metadata lock is acquired
by LOCK TABLE WRITE. This second lock type allows to solve the
first issue, since abortion of table-level locks in event of
DDL under LOCK TABLES becomes also unnecessary.
Below follows the list of incompatible changes introduced by
this patch:
- From now on, ALTER TABLE and CREATE/DROP TRIGGER SQL (i.e. those
statements that acquire TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock)
wait for all transactions which has *updated* the table to
complete.
- From now on, LOCK TABLES ... WRITE, REPAIR/OPTIMIZE TABLE
(i.e. all statements which acquire TL_WRITE table-level lock) wait
for all transaction which *updated or read* from the table
to complete.
As a consequence, innodb_table_locks=0 option no longer applies
to LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
- DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE no longer abort
statements or transactions which use tables being dropped or
renamed, and instead wait for these transactions to complete.
- Since LOCK TABLES WRITE now takes a special metadata lock,
not compatible with with reads or writes against the subject table
and transaction-wide, thr_lock.c deadlock avoidance algorithm
that used to ensure absence of deadlocks between LOCK TABLES
WRITE and other statements is no longer sufficient, even for
MyISAM. The wait-for graph based deadlock detector of MDL
subsystem may sometimes be necessary and is involved. This may
lead to ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error produced for multi-statement
transactions even if these only use MyISAM:
session 1: session 2:
begin;
update t1 ... lock table t2 write, t1 write;
-- gets a lock on t2, blocks on t1
update t2 ...
(ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK)
- Finally, support of LOW_PRIORITY option for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE
was abandoned.
LOCK TABLE ... LOW_PRIORITY WRITE from now on has the same
priority as the usual LOCK TABLE ... WRITE.
SELECT HIGH PRIORITY no longer trumps LOCK TABLE ... WRITE in
the wait queue.
- We do not take upgradable metadata locks on implicitly
locked tables. So if one has, say, a view v1 that uses
table t1, and issues:
LOCK TABLE v1 WRITE;
FLUSH TABLE t1; -- (or just 'FLUSH TABLES'),
an error is produced.
In order to be able to perform DDL on a table under LOCK TABLES,
the table must be locked explicitly in the LOCK TABLES list.
condition variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional
variable for the whole subsystem.
This should increase concurrency in this subsystem.
It also opens the way for further changes which are necessary to solve
such bugs as bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock"
and bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
table".
Two other notable changes done by this patch:
- MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
metadata lock when per-object metadata lock is acquired. Now this has
to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
- Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables/tables
for purposes of I_S we now create MDL savepoint in the main context
before opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing
them. This means that it is now possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
even not inside a transaction. This might happen in unlikely case when
one runs DDL on one of system tables while also running DDL on some
other tables. Cases when this ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is not justified
will be addressed by advanced deadlock detector for MDL subsystem which
we plan to implement.
The problem was that FLUSH TABLE <table_list> would block,
waiting for all tables with old versions to be removed from
the table definition cache, rather than waiting for only
the tables in <table_list>. This could happen if FLUSH TABLE
was used in combination with LOCK TABLES.
With the new MDL code, this problem is no longer repeatable.
Regression test case added to lock.test. This commit contains
no code changes.
This was a deadlock between LOCK TABLES/CREATE DATABASE in one connection
and DROP DATABASE in another. It only happened if the table locked by
LOCK TABLES was in the database to be dropped. The deadlock is similar
to the one in Bug#48940, but with LOCK TABLES instead of an active
transaction.
The order of events needed to trigger the deadlock was:
1) Connection 1 locks table db1.t1 using LOCK TABLES. It will now
have a metadata lock on the table name.
2) Connection 2 issues DROP DATABASE db1. This will wait inside
the MDL subsystem for the lock on db1.t1 to go away. While waiting, it
will hold the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex.
3) Connection 1 issues CREATE DATABASE (database name irrelevant).
This will hang trying to lock the same mutex. Since this is the connection
holding the metadata lock blocking Connection 2, we have a deadlock.
This deadlock would also happen for earlier trees without MDL, but
there DROP DATABASE would wait for a table to be removed from the
table definition cache.
This patch fixes the problem by prohibiting CREATE DATABASE in LOCK TABLES
mode. In the example above, this prevents Connection 1 from hanging trying
to get the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. Note that other commands that use
LOCK_mysql_create_db (ALTER/DROP DATABASE) are already prohibited in
LOCK TABLES mode.
Incompatible change: CREATE DATABASE is now disallowed in LOCK TABLES mode.
Test case added to schema.test.
INFILE".
Attempts to execute an INSERT statement for a MEMORY table which invoked
a trigger or called a stored function which tried to perform LOW_PRIORITY
update on the table being inserted into, resulted in debug servers aborting
due to an assertion failure. On non-debug servers such INSERTs failed with
"Can't update table t1 in stored function/trigger because it is already used
by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger" as expected.
The problem was that in the above scenario TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT
is converted to TL_WRITE inside the thr_lock() function since the MEMORY
engine does not support concurrent inserts. This triggered an assertion
which assumed that for the same table, one thread always requests locks with
higher thr_lock_type value first. When TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT is
upgraded to TL_WRITE after the locks have been sorted, this is no longer true.
In this case, TL_WRITE was requested after acquiring a TL_WRITE_LOW_PRIORITY
lock on the table, triggering the assert.
This fix solves the problem by adjusting this assert to take this
scenario into account.
An alternative approach to change handler::store_locks() methods for all engines
which do not support concurrent inserts in such way that
TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT is upgraded to TL_WRITE there instead,
was considered too intrusive.
Commit on behalf of Dmitry Lenev.
This change is supposed to reduce number of ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
errors which occur when multi-statement transaction encounters
conflicting metadata lock in cases when waiting is possible.
The idea is not to fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when
we encounter conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all
metadata locks acquired by current statement and start to wait
until conflicting lock go away. To avoid deadlocks we use simple
empiric which aborts waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it
turns out that somebody is waiting for metadata locks owned by
this transaction.
This patch also fixes bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989
is not fully fixed in case of ALTER".
The bug was that concurrent execution of UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE
statement as a part of multi-statement transaction that already
has used table being updated and ALTER TABLE statement might have
resulted of loss of isolation between this transaction and ALTER
TABLE statement, which manifested itself as changes performed by
ALTER TABLE becoming visible in transaction and wrong binary log
order as a consequence.
This problem occurred when UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE's wait in
mysql_lock_tables() call was aborted due to metadata lock
upgrade performed by concurrent ALTER TABLE. After such abort all
metadata locks held by transaction were released but transaction
silently continued to be executed as if nothing has happened.
We solve this problem by changing our code not to release all
locks in such case. Instead we release only locks which were
acquired by current statement and then try to reacquire them
by restarting open/lock tables process. We piggyback on simple
deadlock detector implementation since this change has to be
done anyway for it.

Bug #30977 Concurrent statement using stored function and DROP FUNCTION
breaks SBR
Bug #48246 assert in close_thread_table
Implement a fix for:
Bug #41804 purge stored procedure cache causes mysterious hang for many
minutes
Bug #49972 Crash in prepared statements
The problem was that concurrent execution of DML statements that
use stored functions and DDL statements that drop/modify the same
function might result in incorrect binary log in statement (and
mixed) mode and therefore break replication.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing metadata locking for
stored procedures and functions. This is similar to what is done
in Bug#25144 for views. Procedures and functions now are
locked using metadata locks until the transaction is either
committed or rolled back. This prevents other statements from
modifying the procedure/function while it is being executed. This
provides commit ordering - guaranteeing serializability across
multiple transactions and thus fixes the reported binlog problem.
Note that we do not take locks for top-level CALLs. This means
that procedures called directly are not protected from changes by
simultaneous DDL operations so they are executed at the state they
had at the time of the CALL. By not taking locks for top-level
CALLs, we still allow transactions to be started inside
procedures.
This patch also changes stored procedure cache invalidation.
Upon a change of cache version, we no longer invalidate the entire
cache, but only those routines which we use, only when a statement
is executed that uses them.
This patch also changes the logic of prepared statement validation.
A stored procedure used by a prepared statement is now validated
only once a metadata lock has been acquired. A version mismatch
causes a flush of the obsolete routine from the cache and
statement reprepare.
Incompatible changes:
1) ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is reported for a transaction trying to access
a procedure/function that is locked by a DDL operation in
another connection.
2) Procedure/function DDL operations are now prohibited in LOCK
TABLES mode as exclusive locks must be taken all at once and
LOCK TABLES provides no way to specifiy procedures/functions to
be locked.
Test cases have been added to sp-lock.test and rpl_sp.test.
Work on this bug has very much been a team effort and this patch
includes and is based on contributions from Davi Arnaut, Dmitry
Lenev, Magne Mæhre and Konstantin Osipov.
When compressed myisam files are opened, they are always memory mapped
sometimes causing memory swapping problems.
When we mmap the myisam compressed tables of size greater than the memory
available, the kswapd0 process utilization is very high consuming 30-40% of
the cpu. This happens only with linux kernels older than 2.6.9
With newer linux kernels, we don't have this problem of high cpu consumption
and this option may not be required.
The option 'myisam_mmap_size' is added to limit the amount of memory used for
memory mapping of myisam files. This option is not dynamic.
The default value on 32 bit system is 4294967295 bytes and on 64 bit system it
is 18446744073709547520 bytes.
Note: Testcase only tests the option variable. The actual bug has be to
tested manually.
returns incorrect results with where
An outer join of a const table (outer) and a normal table
(inner) with GROUP BY on a field from the outer table would
optimize away GROUP BY, and thus trigger the optimization to
do away with a temporary table if grouping was performed on
columns from the const table, hence executing the query with
filesort without temporary table. But this should not be
done if there is a non-indexed access to the inner table,
since filesort does not handle joins. It expects either ref
access, range ditto or table scan. The join condition will
thus not be applied.
Fixed by always forcing execution with temporary table in
the case of ROLLUP with a query involving an outer join. This
is a slightly broader class of queries than need fixing, but
it is hard to ascertain the position of a ROLLUP field wrt
outer join with current query representation.
Problem: inserting a record we don't set unused null bits in the
record buffer if no default field values used.
That may lead to wrong live checksum calculation.
Fix: set unused null bits in the record buffer in such cases.
int join_read_key(JOIN_TAB*)
The eq_ref access method TABLE_REF (accessed through
JOIN_TAB) to save state and to track if this is the
first row it finds or not.
This state was not reset on subquery re-execution
causing an assert.
Fixed by resetting the state before the subquery
re-execution.
NULLable BIGINT and INT columns in comparison
Problem: a consequence of the fix for 43668.
Some Arg_comparator inner initialization missed,
that may lead to unpredictable (wrong) comparison
results.
Fix: always properly initialize Arg_comparator
before its usage.
This deadlock would occur between two connections A and B if statements
where executed in the following way:
1) Connection A executes a DML statement against table s1.t1 with
autocommit off. This causes a shared metadata lock on s1.t1 to be
acquired. (With autocommit on, the metadata lock will be dropped once
the statment completes and the deadlock will not occour.)
2) Connection B tries to DROP DATABASE s1. This will block against the
metadata lock connection A holds on s1.t1. While blocking, connection B
will hold the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex.
3) Connection A tries to ALTER DATABASE s1. This will block when trying
to get LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex held by connection B.
4) Deadlock between DROP DATABASE and ALTER DATABASE (which has autocommit
off).
If Connection A used an explicitly started transaction rather than having
autocommit off, this deadlock did not happen as ALTER DATABASE is
disallowed inside transactions.
This patch fixes the problem by changing ALTER DATABASE to cause an
implicit commit before executing. This will cause the metadata
lock on s1.t1 to be dropped, allowing DROP DATABASE to proceed.
This will in turn cause the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex to be unlocked,
allowing ALTER DATABASE to proceed.
Note that SQL commands other than ALTER DATABASE that also use
LOCK_mysql_create_db, already cause an implicit commit.
Incompatible change: ALTER DATABASE (and its synonym ALTER SCHEMA)
now cause an implicit commit. This must be reflected in the
documentation.
Test case added to schema.test.
int join_read_key(JOIN_TAB*)
The eq_ref access method TABLE_REF (accessed through
JOIN_TAB) to save state and to track if this is the
first row it finds or not.
This state was not reset on subquery re-execution
causing an assert.
Fixed by resetting the state before the subquery
re-execution.
timestamp primary key
Since TIMESTAMP values are adjusted by the current time zone
settings in both numeric and string contexts, using any
expressions involving TIMESTAMP values as a
(sub)partitioning function leads to undeterministic behavior of
partitioned tables. The effect may vary depending on a storage
engine, it can be either incorrect data being retrieved or
stored, or an assertion failure. The root cause of this is the
fact that the calculated partition ID may differ from a
previously calculated ID for the same data due to timezone
adjustments of the partitioning expression value.
Fixed by disabling any expressions involving TIMESTAMP values
to be used in partitioning functions with the follwing two
exceptions:
1. Creating or altering into a partitioned table that violates
the above rule is not allowed, but opening existing such tables
results in a warning rather than an error so that such tables
could be fixed.
2. UNIX_TIMESTAMP() is the only way to get a
timezone-independent value from a TIMESTAMP column, because it
returns the internal representation (a time_t value) of a
TIMESTAMP argument verbatim. So UNIX_TIMESTAMP(timestamp_column)
is allowed and should be used to fix existing tables if one
wants to use TIMESTAMP columns with partitioning.

Bug#20667 - Truncate table fails for a write locked table
TRUNCATE TABLE was not allowed under LOCK TABLES.
The patch removes this restriction. mysql_truncate()
does now handle that case.
