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.

Bug#31177: Server variables can't be set to their current values
additional 5.1 fixes (for plugins)
Default values of variables were not subject to upper/lower bounds
and step, while setting variables was. Bounds and step are also
applied to defaults now; defaults are corrected quietly, values
given by the user are corrected, and a correction-warning is thrown
as needed. Lastly, very large values could wrap around, starting
from 0 again. They are bounded at the maximum value for the
respective data-type now if no lower maximum is specified in the
variable's definition.
corrupts a MERGE table
Post-pushbuild fix. The merge test failed on Windows.
The MoveFile() function returned the error code
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
The fix is to use a different name for the file to be
deleted. This is the same trick as we use for the error
code ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS.
Added ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED to the list of error codes that
require to change the name of the file to be deleted.

Bug 26379 - Combination of FLUSH TABLE and REPAIR TABLE
corrupts a MERGE table
1. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting while
REPAIR TABLE or a similar table administration task is ongoing on
one or more of its MyISAM tables.
2. A thread trying to lock a MERGE table performs busy waiting until all
threads that did REPAIR TABLE or similar table administration tasks
on one or more of its MyISAM tables in LOCK TABLES segments do UNLOCK
TABLES. The difference against problem #1 is that the busy waiting
takes place *after* the administration task. It is terminated by
UNLOCK TABLES only.
3. Two FLUSH TABLES within a LOCK TABLES segment can invalidate the
lock. This does *not* require a MERGE table. The first FLUSH TABLES
can be replaced by any statement that requires other threads to
reopen the table. In 5.0 and 5.1 a single FLUSH TABLES can provoke
the problem.
Bug 26867 - LOCK TABLES + REPAIR + merge table result in
memory/cpu hogging
Trying DML on a MERGE table, which has a child locked and
repaired by another thread, made an infinite loop in the server.
Bug 26377 - Deadlock with MERGE and FLUSH TABLE
Locking a MERGE table and its children in parent-child order
and flushing the child deadlocked the server.
Bug 25038 - Waiting TRUNCATE
Truncating a MERGE child, while the MERGE table was in use,
let the truncate fail instead of waiting for the table to
become free.
Bug 25700 - merge base tables get corrupted by
optimize/analyze/repair table
Repairing a child of an open MERGE table corrupted the child.
It was necessary to FLUSH the child first.
Bug 30275 - Merge tables: flush tables or unlock tables
causes server to crash
Flushing and optimizing locked MERGE children crashed the server.
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking
Use of a temporary MERGE table with non-temporary children
could corrupt the children.
Temporary tables are never locked. So we do now prohibit
non-temporary chidlren of a temporary MERGE table.
Bug 27660 - Falcon: merge table possible
It was possible to create a MERGE table with non-MyISAM children.
Bug 30273 - merge tables: Can't lock file (errno: 155)
This was a Windows-only bug. Table administration statements
sometimes failed with "Can't lock file (errno: 155)".
These bugs are fixed by a new implementation of MERGE table open.
When opening a MERGE table in open_tables() we do now add the
child tables to the list of tables to be opened by open_tables()
(the "query_list"). The children are not opened in the handler at
this stage.
After opening the parent, open_tables() opens each child from the
now extended query_list. When the last child is opened, we remove
the children from the query_list again and attach the children to
the parent. This behaves similar to the old open. However it does
not open the MyISAM tables directly, but grabs them from the already
open children.
When closing a MERGE table in close_thread_table() we detach the
children only. Closing of the children is done implicitly because
they are in thd->open_tables.
For more detail see the comment at the top of ha_myisammrg.cc.
Changed from open_ltable() to open_and_lock_tables() in all places
that can be relevant for MERGE tables. The latter can handle tables
added to the list on the fly. When open_ltable() was used in a loop
over a list of tables, the list must be temporarily terminated
after every table for open_and_lock_tables().
table_list->required_type is set to FRMTYPE_TABLE to avoid open of
special tables. Handling of derived tables is suppressed.
These details are handled by the new function
open_n_lock_single_table(), which has nearly the same signature as
open_ltable() and can replace it in most cases.
In reopen_tables() some of the tables open by a thread can be
closed and reopened. When a MERGE child is affected, the parent
must be closed and reopened too. Closing of the parent is forced
before the first child is closed. Reopen happens in the order of
thd->open_tables. MERGE parents do not attach their children
automatically at open. This is done after all tables are reopened.
So all children are open when attaching them.
Special lock handling like mysql_lock_abort() or mysql_lock_remove()
needs to be suppressed for MERGE children or forwarded to the parent.
This depends on the situation. In loops over all open tables one
suppresses child lock handling. When a single table is touched,
forwarding is done.
Behavioral changes:
===================
This patch changes the behavior of temporary MERGE tables.
Temporary MERGE must have temporary children.
The old behavior was wrong. A temporary table is not locked. Hence
even non-temporary children were not locked. See
Bug 19627 - temporary merge table locking.
You cannot change the union list of a non-temporary MERGE table
when LOCK TABLES is in effect. The following does *not* work:
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ...;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 WRITE, m1 WRITE;
ALTER TABLE m1 ... UNION=(t1,t2) ...;
However, you can do this with a temporary MERGE table.
You cannot create a MERGE table with CREATE ... SELECT, neither
as a temporary MERGE table, nor as a non-temporary MERGE table.
CREATE TABLE m1 ... ENGINE=MRG_MYISAM ... SELECT ...;
Gives error message: table is not BASE TABLE.
It's not InnoDB specific bug.
Error is in QUEUE code, about the way we handle queue->max_at_top.
It's either '0' or '-2' and we do '^' operation to get the proper
direction. Though queue->compare() function can return '-2' as
a result of comparison sometimes. So we'll get
queue->compare() ^ queue->max_at_top == 0 (when max_at_top is -2)
and _downheap() function code will go wrong way here:
...
if (next_index < elements &&
(queue->compare(queue->first_cmp_arg,
queue->root[next_index]+offset_to_key,
queue->root[next_index+1]+offset_to_key) ^
queue->max_at_top) > 0)
next_index++;
...
Fixed by changing max_at_top to be either 1 or -1, doing
'* max_at_top' to get proper direction.
