The test case for this bug relies on getting a ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT
error. However with the introduction of MDL, the test would hang
forever since the metadata locks would not timeout.
MDL timeouts are now introduced in the scope of Bug#45225. This
patch changes the testcase for Bug#34604 to set the new server
variable "lock_wait_timeout" to one second which makes the test
generate the necessary timeout again.
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.
A closely related problem, hardly worth a new bug report:
Removed a spurious call to:
thd->set_current_stmt_binlog_format_row_if_mixed()
in sql_base.cc:lock_tables().
rqg_mdl_stability".
When start of statement's waiting on a metadata lock
created more than one loop in waiters graph server might
have entered deadlock condition.
The problem was that in the case described above MDL deadlock
detector had to perform several searches for deadlock but
forgot to reset Deadlock_detection_context before performing
new search.
Failure to do so has broken assumption in code resposible for
choosing victim that if Deadlock_detection_context::victim
is set we also have read lock on m_waiting_for_lock for this
context. As result this lock could have been unlocked more
times than it was acquired which corrupted rwlock's state
which led to server deadlock.
This fix ensures that such reset is done before each attempt
to find a deadlock.
We found that there are some tests that are not cleaning
up properly:
1. rpl_tmp_table_and_DDL
2. rpl_do_grant
3. rpl_sync
For #1 and #2 we found that the slave would not, for some
cases, replicate all the instructions the master processed
in the cleanup section. We fix these by deploying some
synchronization commands in the test cases so that slave
processes all clean up instructions.
As for #3, this is tracked as part of another bug
(BUG@50442).
Problem was that in mysql-trunk the ER() macro is now dependent on current_thd
and the innodb monitor thread has no binding to that thd object. This cause
the crash because of bad derefencing.
Solution was to add a new macro which take the thd as an argument (which the innodb
thread uses for the call).
(Updated according to reviewers comments, i.e. added ER_THD_OR_DEFAULT and
moved test to suite parts.)
As part of BUG@39934 fix, the public:
- THD::current_stmt_binlog_row_based
variable had been removed and replaced by a private variable:
- THD::current_stmt_binlog_format.
THD was refactored and some modifiers and accessors were
implemented for the new variable.
However, due to a bad merge, the
THD::current_stmt_binlog_row_based variable is back as a public
member of THD. This in itself is already potentially
harmful. What's even worse is that while merging some more
patches and resolving conflicts, the variable started being used
again, which is obviously wrong.
To fix this we:
1. remove the extraneous variable from sql_class.h
2. revert a bad merge for BUG#49132
3. merge BUG#49132 properly again (actually, making use of the
cset used to merge the original patch to mysql-pe).
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.
failed on HANDLER + I_S
This assert was triggered when an I_S query tried to acquire a
metadata lock on a table which was already locked by a HANDLER
statement in the same connection.
First the HANDLER took a MDL_SHARED lock. Afterwards, the I_S query
requested a MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO lock. The existing MDL_SHARED ticket
is found in find_ticket() since it satisfies
ticket->has_stronger_or_equal_type(mdl_request->type) as MDL_SHARED
and MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO have equal strengths, just different priority.
However, two asserts later check lock type strengths using relational
operators (>= and <=) rather than MDL_ticket::has_stronger_or_equal_type().
These asserts are triggered since MDL_SHARED >= MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIORITY
is false (mapped to 1 and 2 respectively).
This patch updates the asserts to use MDL_ticket::has_stronger_or_equal_type()
rather than relational operators to check lock type strength.
Test case added to include/handler.inc.
