MDEV-7148 - Recurring: InnoDB: Failing assertion: !lock->recursive
On PPC64 high-loaded server may crash due to assertion failure in InnoDB
rwlocks code.
This happened because load order between "recursive" and "writer_thread"
wasn't properly enforced.
This problem affects only debug builds on PPC64.
There are at least two race conditions around
rw_lock_debug_mutex_enter and rw_lock_debug_mutex_exit:
- rw_lock_debug_waiters was loaded/stored without setting
appropriate locks/memory barriers.
- there is a gap between calls to os_event_reset() and
os_event_wait() and in such case we're supposed to pass
return value of the former to the latter.
Fixed by replacing self-cooked spinlocks with system mutexes.
These days system mutexes offer much better performance. OTOH
performance is not that critical for debug builds.
