The pthread_cond_wait implementations for windows might
dead lock in some rare circumstances.
1) One thread (I) enter a timed wait and at a point in
time ends up after mutex unlock and before
WaitForMultipleObjects(...)
2) Another thread (II) enters pthread_cond_broadcast.
Grabs the mutex and discovers one waiter. It set
the broadcast event and closes the broadcast gate
then unlocks the mutex.
3) A third thread (III) issues a pthread_cond_signal.
It grabs the mutex, discovers one waiter, sets the
signal event then unlock the mutex.
4) The first threads (I) enters WaitForMultipleObjects
and finds out that the signal object is in a
signalled state and exits the wait.
5) Thread (I) grabs the mutex and checks result status.
The number of waiters is decreased and becomes equal
to 0. The event returned was a signal event so the
broadcast gate isn't opened. The mutex is released.
6) Thread (II) issues a new broadcast. The mutex is
acquired but the number of waiters are 0 hence
the broadcast gate remains closed.
7) Thread (I) enters the wait again but is blocked by
the broadcast gate.
This fix resolves the above issue by always resetting
broadcast gate when there are no more waiters in th queue.
Options loaded from config files were added before command line
arguments, and they were parsed together, which could interprete
the following:
option-a
option-b
as --option-a=--option-b if 'option-a' requires a value, and
caused confusing.
Because all options that requires a value are always given in
the form '--option=value', so it's an error if there is no
'=value' part for such an option read from config file.
This patch added a separator to separate the arguments from
config files and that from command line, so that they can be
handled differently. And report an error for options loaded
from config files that requires a value and is not given in the
form '--option=value'.
Backport from 6.0 to 5.1.
Only those sync points are included, which are used in debug_sync.test.
The Debug Sync Facility allows to place synchronization points
in the code:
open_tables(...)
DEBUG_SYNC(thd, "after_open_tables");
lock_tables(...)
When activated, a sync point can
- Send a signal and/or
- Wait for a signal
Nomenclature:
- signal: A value of a global variable that persists
until overwritten by a new signal. The global
variable can also be seen as a "signal post"
or "flag mast". Then the signal is what is
attached to the "signal post" or "flag mast".
- send a signal: Assign the value (the signal) to the global
variable ("set a flag") and broadcast a
global condition to wake those waiting for
a signal.
- wait for a signal: Loop over waiting for the global condition until
the global value matches the wait-for signal.
Please find more information in the top comment in debug_sync.cc
or in the worklog entry.
- Create the "dummy" thread joinable and wait for it to
exit before continuing in 'my_thread_global_init'
- This way we know that the pthread library is initialized
by one thread only
Option "--without-server" still not working in 5.1
The general approach is to make sure that source files
which require thread support are only compiled if the build
really needs thread support,
which means when the server is built or a thread-safe client
library.
This required several changes:
- Make sure the subdirectories "storage/" and "plugin/" are
only processed if the server is built, not ifclient-only.
- Make the compilation of some modules which inherently
require threading depend on thread supportin the build.
- Separate the handling of threading in "configure.in" from
that of server issues, threading is also needed in a
non-server build of a thread-safe client library.
Also, "libdbug" must get built even in a client-only build,
so "dbug/" must be in the list of client directories.
In addition, calls to thread functions in source files which
can be built without thread support must use the wrapper
functions which handle the non-threaded build.
So the modules "client/mysqlimport.c" and "client/mysqlslap.c"
must call "my_thread_end()" only via "mysql_thread_end()".
can crash under load
Merge from 5.0, after backport from 5.1/5.4 to 5.0.
This makes the fixes for
Bug 44068 (RESTORE can disable the MyISAM Key Cache)
Bug 40944 (Backup: crash after myisampack)
available to 5.1.
can crash under load
Backport from 5.1.
Does also include key cache fixes from:
Bug 44068 (RESTORE can disable the MyISAM Key Cache)
Bug 40944 (Backup: crash after myisampack)
CREATE TABLE...LIKE...
The mysql server option 'sync_frm' is ignored when table is created with
syntax CREATE TABLE .. LIKE..
Fixed by adding the MY_SYNC flag and calling my_sync() from my_copy() when
the flag is set.
In mysql_create_table(), when the 'sync_frm' is set, MY_SYNC flag is passed
to my_copy().
Note: TestCase is not attached and can be tested manually using debugger.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
decrease for INSERTs
Bulk inserts (multiple row, CREATE ... SELECT, INSERT ... SELECT) into
MyISAM tables were performed inefficiently. This was mainly affecting
use cases where read_buffer_size was considerably large (>256K) and low
number of rows was inserted (e.g. 30-100).
The problem was that during I/O cache initialization (this happens
before each bulk insert) allocated I/O buffer was unnecessarily
initialized to '\0'.
This was happening because of mess in flag values. MyISAM informs I/O
cache to wait for free space (if out of disk space) by passing
MY_WAIT_IF_FULL flag. Since MY_WAIT_IF_FULL and MY_ZEROFILL have the
same values, memory allocator was initializing memory to '\0'.
The performance gain provided with this patch may only be visible with
non-debug binaries, since safemalloc always initializes allocated memory
to 0xA5A5...
- Define and pass compile time path variables as pre-processor definitions to
mimic the makefile build.
- Set new CMake version and policy requirements explicitly.
- Changed DATADIR to MYSQL_DATADIR to avoid conflicting definition in
Platform SDK header ObjIdl.h which also defines DATADIR.
This patch is a follow up to http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678.
When an allocation failure occurs for the buffer in the dynamic
array, an error condition was being set. The dynamic array is
usable even if the memory allocation fails. Since in most cases
the thread can continue to work without any problems the error
condition should not be set here.
This patch adds logic to remove the error condition from being set
when the memory allocation for the buffer in dynamic array fails.
Because of a regression introduced by bug#19027 the option --enable-foobar
doesn't work anymore for any plugin 'foobar'. The reason is that plugin
names are tristate options variables with optional parameters and integer
values are not accepted. Since the 'enable' prefix attempts to assign '1'
to the option the operation fails.
This patch translates any number n assigned to a plugin variable of type ENUM
to be the corresponding enumerated item. As a side effect --enable-foobar and
--disable-foobar will also start working again.
The merge from http://lists.mysql.com/commits/76678 caused the
growth_size parameter to the my_init_dynamic_array function to
be ignored. This patch corrects the problem.
