strict aliasing violations.
One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.
locks for DML statements and changes the way MDL locks
are acquired/granted in contended case.
Instead of backing-off when a lock conflict is encountered
and waiting for it to go away before restarting open_tables()
process we now wait for lock to be released without releasing
any previously acquired locks. If conflicting lock goes away
we resume opening tables. If waiting leads to a deadlock we
try to resolve it by backing-off and restarting open_tables()
immediately.
As result both waiting for possibility to acquire and
acquiring of a metadata lock now always happen within the
same MDL API call. This has allowed to make release of a lock
and granting it to the most appropriate pending request an
atomic operation.
Thanks to this it became possible to wake up during release
of lock only those waiters which requests can be satisfied
at the moment as well as wake up only one waiter in case
when granting its request would prevent all other requests
from being satisfied. This solves thundering herd problem
which occured in cases when we were releasing some lock and
woke up many waiters for SNRW or X locks (this was the issue
in bug#52289 "performance regression for MyISAM in sysbench
OLTP_RW test".
This also allowed to implement more fair (FIFO) scheduling
among waiters with the same priority.
It also opens the door for introducing new types of requests
for metadata locks such as low-prio SNRW lock which is
necessary in order to support LOCK TABLES LOW_PRIORITY WRITE.
Notice that after this sometimes can report ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
error in cases in which it has not happened before.
Particularly we will always report this error if waiting for
conflicting lock has happened in the middle of transaction
and resulted in a deadlock. Before this patch the error was
not reported if deadlock could have been resolved by backing
off all metadata locks acquired by the current statement.

Fix various mismatches between function's language linkage. Any
particular function that is declared in C++ but should be callable
from C must have C linkage. Note that function types with different
linkages are also distinct. Thus, if a function type is declared in
C code, it will have C linkage (same if declared in a extern "C"
block).
We should avoid any SHARE fields assignments as
this is shared structure and assignments may
affect other therads. To avoid this
copy of SHARE struct is created and
stored into TABLE struct which is
used in get_schema_coulumns_record later.
The problem was that TRUNCATE TABLE didn't take a exclusive
lock on a table if it resorted to truncating via delete of
all rows in the table. Specifically for InnoDB tables, this
could break proper isolation as InnoDB ends up aborting some
granted locks when truncating a table.
The solution is to take a exclusive metadata lock before
TRUNCATE TABLE can proceed. This guarantees that no other
transaction is using the table.
Incompatible change: Truncate via delete no longer fails
if sql_safe_updates is activated (this was a undocumented
side effect).
transactional SELECT and ALTER TABLE ... REBUILD PARTITION".
The goal of this patch is to decouple type of metadata
lock acquired for table by open_tables() from type of
table-level lock to be acquired on it.
To achieve this we change approach to how we determine what
type of metadata lock should be acquired on table to be open.
Now instead of inferring it at open_tables() time from flags
and type of table-level lock we rely on that type of metadata
lock is properly set at parsing time and is not changed
further.
Analysis showed that in case of accessing I_S table
ROUTINES we perform unnecessary allocations
with get_field() function for every processed row that
in their turn causes significant memory growth.
the fix is to avoid use of get_field().
Fix for bug #46947 "Embedded SELECT without FOR UPDATE is
causing a lock", with after-review fixes.
SELECT statements with subqueries referencing InnoDB tables
were acquiring shared locks on rows in these tables when they
were executed in REPEATABLE-READ mode and with statement or
mixed mode binary logging turned on.
This was a regression which were introduced when fixing
bug 39843.
The problem was that for tables belonging to subqueries
parser set TL_READ_DEFAULT as a lock type. In cases when
statement/mixed binary logging at open_tables() time this
type of lock was converted to TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock at
open_tables() time and caused InnoDB engine to acquire
shared locks on reads from these tables. Although in some
cases such behavior was correct (e.g. for subqueries in
DELETE) in case of SELECT it has caused unnecessary locking.
This patch tries to solve this problem by rethinking our
approach to how we handle locking for SELECT and subqueries.
Now we always set TL_READ_DEFAULT lock type for all cases
when we read data. When at open_tables() time this lock
is interpreted as TL_READ_NO_INSERT or TL_READ depending
on whether this statement as a whole or call to function
which uses particular table should be written to the
binary log or not (if yes then statement should be properly
serialized with concurrent statements and stronger lock
should be acquired).
Test coverage is added for both InnoDB and MyISAM.
This patch introduces an "incompatible" change in locking
scheme for subqueries used in SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and
SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE.
In 4.1 the server would use a snapshot InnoDB read for
subqueries in SELECT FOR UPDATE and SELECT .. IN SHARE MODE
statements, regardless of whether the binary log is on or off.
If the user required a different type of read (i.e. locking read),
he/she could request so explicitly by providing FOR UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE
clause for each individual subquery.
On of the patches for 5.0 broke this behaviour (which was not documented
or tested), and started to use locking reads fora all subqueries in SELECT ...
FOR UPDATE/IN SHARE MODE. This patch restored 4.1 behaviour.
for write by another connection
The problem was that if a table was locked in one connection by
LOCK TABLES ... WRITE, REPAIR TABLE or OPTIMIZE TABLE, SHOW CREATE
TABLE from another connection would be blocked. As SHOW CREATE TABLE
only reads metadata about the table, such blocking is not needed.
The problem was that when SHOW CREATE TABLE tried to get a metadata
lock on the table in order to open it, it used the wrong type of
metadata lock request. It used MDL_SHARED_READ which is used when
the intent is to read both table metadata and table data. Instead
it should have used MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO which signifies an intent
to only read metadata.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure SHOW CREATE TABLE uses
the MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO metadata lock request type when trying to
open the table. The patch also fixes a similar problem with the
mysql_list_fields API call.
Test case added to show_check.test.

into partitioned MyISAM table
Problem was that the ha_data structure was introduced in 5.1
and only used for partitioning first, but with the intention
of be of use for others engines as well, and when used by other
engines it would clash if it also was partitioned.
Solution is to move the partitioning specific data to a separate
structure, with its own mutex (which is used for auto_increment).
Also did rename PARTITION_INFO to PARTITION_STATS since there
already exist a class named partition_info, also cleaned up
some related variables.
concurrent I_S query
There were two problem:
1) MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH also ignored name locks
2) there was a race between abort_and_upgrade_locks and
alter_close_tables
(i.e. remove_table_from_cache and
close_data_files_and_morph_locks)
Which allowed the table to be opened with MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH flag
resulting in renaming a partition that was already in use,
which could cause the table to be unusable.
Solution was to not allow IGNORE_FLUSH to skip waiting for
a named locked table.
And to not release the LOCK_open mutex between the
calls to remove_table_from_cache and
close_data_files_and_morph_locks by merging the functions
abort_and_upgrade_locks and alter_close_tables.
DDL no longer aborts mysql_lock_tables(), and hence
we no longer need to support need_reopen flag of this
call.
Remove the flag, and all the code in the server
that was responsible for handling the case when
it was set. This allowed to simplify:
open_and_lock_tables_derived(), the delayed thread,
multi-update.
Rename MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_FLUSH to MYSQL_OPEN_IGNORE_FLUSH,
since we now only support this flag in open_table().
Rename MYSQL_LOCK_PERF_SCHEMA to MYSQL_LOCK_LOG_TABLE,
to avoid confusion.
Move the wait for the global read lock for cases
when we do updates in SELECT f1() or DO (UPDATE) to
open_table() from mysql_lock_tables(). When waiting
for the read lock, we could raise need_reopen flag,
which is no longer present in mysql_lock_tables().
Since the block responsible for waiting for GRL
was moved, MYSQL_LOCK_IGNORE_GLOBAL_READ_LOCK
was renamed to MYSQL_OPEN_IGNORE_GLOBAL_READ_LOCK.

The patch committed on behalf of Yoshinori Matsunobu (Yoshinori.Matsunobu@Sun.COM).
This patch introduces timeouts for metadata locks.
The timeout is specified in seconds using the new dynamic system
variable "lock_wait_timeout" which has both GLOBAL and SESSION
scopes. Allowed values range from 1 to 31536000 seconds (= 1 year).
The default value is 1 year.
The new server parameter "lock-wait-timeout" can be used to set
the default value parameter upon server startup.
"lock_wait_timeout" applies to all statements that use metadata locks.
These include DML and DDL operations on tables, views, stored procedures
and stored functions. They also include LOCK TABLES, FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK and HANDLER statements.
The patch also changes thr_lock.c code (table data locks used by MyISAM
and other simplistic engines) to use the same system variable.
InnoDB row locks are unaffected.
One exception to the handling of the "lock_wait_timeout" variable
is delayed inserts. All delayed inserts are executed with a timeout
of 1 year regardless of the setting for the global variable. As the
connection issuing the delayed insert gets no notification of
delayed insert timeouts, we want to avoid unnecessary timeouts.
It's important to note that the timeout value is used for each lock
acquired and that one statement can take more than one lock.
A statement can therefore block for longer than the lock_wait_timeout
value before reporting a timeout error. When lock timeout occurs,
ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT is reported.
Test case added to lock_multi.test.
and MDL".
Concurrent execution of a multi-DELETE statement and ALTER
TABLE statement which affected one of the tables used in
the multi-DELETE sometimes led to deadlock.
Similar deadlocks might have occured when one performed
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on a view and concurrently executed
ALTER TABLE for the view's underlying table, or when one
concurrently executed TRUNCATE TABLE for InnoDB table and
ALTER TABLE for the same table.
These deadlocks were caused by a discrepancy between types of
metadata and thr_lock.cc locks acquired by those statements.
What happened was that multi-DELETE/TRUNCATE/DML-through-the-
view statement in the first connection acquired SR lock on a
table, then ALTER TABLE would come in in the second connection
and acquire SNW metadata lock and TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ
thr_lock.c lock and then would start waiting for the first
connection during lock upgrade. After that the statement in
the first connection would try to acquire TL_WRITE lock on
table and would start waiting for the second connection,
creating a deadlock.
This patch solves this problem by ensuring that we acquire
SW metadata lock in all cases in which we acquiring write
thr_lock.c lock. This guarantees that deadlocks like the
one described above won't occur since all lock conflicts
in such situation are resolved within MDL subsystem.
This patch also adds assert which should guarantee that
such situations won't arise in future.

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.
check_access() returning false for a database does not
guarantee that the access is granted to it.
This wrong condition in filling the INFORMATION_SCHEMA
tables causes extra tables to be returned to the user
even if he has no rights to see them.
Fixed by correcting the condition.
