When trying to get the requested amount of memory for the keybuffer,
the out of memory could be signaled if one of the tentative allocations
fail. Later the server would crash (debug assert) when trying to send
a ok packet with a error set.
The solution is only to signal the error if all tentative allocations
for the keybuffer fail.
Each time the server reloads privileges containing table grants, the
system will allocate too much memory than needed because of badly
chosen growth prediction in the underlying dynamic arrays.
This patch introduces a new signature to the hash container initializer
which enables a much more pessimistic approach in favour for more
efficient memory useage.

with errno 17
my_create() did not perform any checks for the case when a file is
successfully created by a call to open(), but the call to
my_register_filename() later fails because the number of open files
has exceeded the my_open_files limit. This can happen on platforms
which do not have getrlimit(), and hence we do not know the real limit
for open files. In such a case an error was returned to a caller
although the file has actually been created. Since callers assume
my_create() to return an error only when it failed to create a file,
they did not perform any cleanups, leaving an 'orphaned' file on the
file system.
Fixed by adding a check for the above case to my_create() and ensuring
the newly created file is deleted before returning an error.
Creating a deterministic test case in the test suite is impossible,
because the exact steps required to reproduce the above situation
depend on the platform and/or environment (OS per-user limits, queries
executed by previous tests, startup parameters). The patch was
manually tested on Windows using examples posted in the bug report.
Bug#34678 @@debug variable's incremental mode
The problem is that the per-thread debugging settings stack wasn't
being deallocated before the thread termination, leaking the stack
memory. The chosen solution is to push a new state if the current
is set to the initial settings and pop it (free) once the thread
finishes.
value" error even though the value was correct): a C function in my_getopt.c
was taking bool* in parameter and was called from C++ sql_plugin.cc,
but on some Mac OS X sizeof(bool) is 1 in C and 4 in C++, giving funny
mismatches. Fixed, all other occurences of bool in C are removed, future
ones are blocked by a "C-bool-catcher" in my_global.h (use my_bool).
The problem is that the Table_locks_waited was incremented only
when the lock request succeed. If a thread waiting for the lock
gets killed or the lock request is aborted, the variable would
not be incremented, leading to inaccurate values in the variable.
The solution is to increment the Table_locks_waited whenever the
lock request is queued. This reflects better the intended behavior
of the variable -- show how many times a lock was waited.
Fixed that return value of malloc was not checked.
Fixed wrong argument count (compilation failure) to base64_decode()
function.
Note:
- there is no test case for this fix as this code is never compiled
into mysql clients/server;
- as this code is used for internal testing purposes only, no changelog
entry needed.
