The patch for Bug 26379 (Combination of FLUSH TABLE and
REPAIR TABLE corrupts a MERGE table) fixed this bug too.
However it revealed a new bug that crashed the server.
Flushing a merge table at the moment when it is between open
and attach of children crashed the server.
The flushing thread wants to abort locks on the flushed table.
It calls ha_myisammrg::lock_count() and ha_myisammrg::store_lock()
on the TABLE object of the other thread.
Changed ha_myisammrg::lock_count() and ha_myisammrg::store_lock()
to accept non-attached children. ha_myisammrg::lock_count() returns
the number of MyISAM tables in the MERGE table so that the memory
allocation done by get_lock_data() is done correctly, even if the
children become attached before ha_myisammrg::store_lock() is
called. ha_myisammrg::store_lock() will not return any lock if the
children are not attached.
This is however a change in the handler interface. lock_count()
can now return a higher number than store_lock() stores locks.
This is more safe than the reverse implementation would be.
get_lock_data() in the SQL layer is adjusted accordingly. It sets
MYSQL_LOCK::lock_count based on the number of locks returned by
the handler::store_lock() calls, not based on the numbers returned
by the handler::lock_count() calls. The latter are only used for
allocation of memory now.
No test case. The test suite cannot reliably run FLUSH between
lock_count() and store_lock() of another thread. The bug report
contains a program that can repeat the problem with some
probability.
The problem was that when convert_constant_item is called for subqueries,
this happens when we already started executing the top-level query, and
the field argument of convert_constant_item pointed to a valid table row.
In turn convert_constant_item used the field buffer to compute the value
of its item argument. This copied the item's value into the field,
and made equalities with outer references always true.
The fix saves/restores the original field's value when it belongs to an
outer table.
Both arguments of the function NAME_CONST must be constant expressions.
This constraint is checked in the Item_name_const::fix_fields method.
Yet if the argument of the function was not a constant expression no
error message was reported. As a result the client hanged waiting for a
response.
Now the function Item_name_const::fix_fields reports an error message
when any of the additional context conditions imposed on the function
NAME_CONST is not satisfied.
The index (key_part_1, key_part-2) was erroneously considered as compatible
with the required ordering in the function test_test_if_order_by_key when
a query with an ORDER BY clause contained a condition of the form
key_part_1=const OR key_part_1 IS NULL
and the order list contained only key_part_2. This happened because the value
of the const_key_parts field in the KEYUSE structure was not formed correctly
for the keys that could be used for ref_or_null access.
This was fixed in the code of the update_ref_and_keys function.
The problem could not manifest itself for MyISAM databases because the
implementation of the keys_to_use_for_scanning() handler function always
returns an empty bitmap for the MyISAM engine.
Change LAST_EXECUTED time the execution start time, instead of the execution completion time. This ensures the END time always the same or later than the LAST_EXECUTED time.
The Item_func_set_user_var::register_field_in_read_map() did not check
that the result_field was null.This caused server crashes for queries that
required order by such a field and were executed without using a temporary
table.
The Item_func_set_user_var::register_field_in_read_map() now checks the
result_field to be not null.
