error flushing io cache
The reason for the error was incorrect return code from
my_win_write() in case of error on 64 bit Windows.
Error should be indicated by return code
(size_t)-1 == 2^64 -1, but due to cast it was
(DWORD)-1 = 2^32 -1
The caller of this function would fail to recognize the error
and continue looping.
Fix is to return correct error code (size_t)-1 in case of error
as expected by caller.
Also minimal cleanup is done : my_win_write() now uses
the same parameter checks as related functions (0 and
overflow handling for count parameter).
detector". This patch addresses performance regression in OLTP_RO/MyISAM
test on Windows introduced by the fix for bug #56405. Thus it makes
original patch acceptable as a solution for bug #56585 "Slowdown of
readonly sysbench benchmarks (e.g point_select) on Windows 5.5".
With this patch, MySQL will use native Windows condition variables and
reader-writer locks if they are supported by the OS.
This speeds up MyISAM and the effect comes mostly from using native
rwlocks. Native conditions improve scalability with higher number of
concurrent users in other situations, e.g for prlocks.
Benchmark numbers for this patch as measured on Win2008R2 quad
core machine are attached to the bug report.
( direct link http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=15883 )
Note that currently we require at least Windows7/WS2008R2 for
reader-writer locks, even though native rwlock is available also on Vista.
Reason is that "trylock" APIs are missing on Vista, and trylock is used in
the server (in a single place in query cache).
While this patch could have been written differently, to enable the native
rwlock optimization also on Vista/WS2008 (e.g using native locks everywhere
but portable implementation in query cache), this would come at the
expense of the code clarity, as it would introduce a new "try-able" rwlock
type, to handle Vista case.
Another way to improve performance for the special case
(OLTP_RO/MYISAM/Vista) would be to eliminate "trylock" usage from server,
but this is outside of the scope here.
Native conditions variables are used beginning with Vista though the effect
of using condition variables alone is not measurable in this benchmark.
But when used together with native rwlocks on Win7, native conditions improve
performance in high-concurrency OLTP_RO/MyISAM (128 and more sysbench
users).
detector" that doesn't introduce bug #56715 "Concurrent
transactions + FLUSH result in sporadical unwarranted
deadlock errors".
Deadlock could have occurred when workload containing a mix
of DML, DDL and FLUSH TABLES statements affecting the same
set of tables was executed in a heavily concurrent environment.
This deadlock occurred when several connections tried to
perform deadlock detection in the metadata locking subsystem.
The first connection started traversing wait-for graph,
encountered a sub-graph representing a wait for flush, acquired
LOCK_open and dived into sub-graph inspection. Then it
encountered sub-graph corresponding to wait for metadata lock
and blocked while trying to acquire a rd-lock on
MDL_lock::m_rwlock, since some,other thread had a wr-lock on it.
When this wr-lock was released it could have happened (if there
was another pending wr-lock against this rwlock) that the rd-lock
from the first connection was left unsatisfied but at the same
time the new rd-lock request from the second connection sneaked
in and was satisfied (for this to be possible the second
rd-request should come exactly after the wr-lock is released but
before pending the wr-lock manages to grab rwlock, which is
possible both on Linux and in our own rwlock implementation).
If this second connection continued traversing the wait-for graph
and encountered a sub-graph representing a wait for flush it tried
to acquire LOCK_open and thus the deadlock was created.
The previous patch tried to workaround this problem by not
allowing the deadlock detector to lock LOCK_open mutex if
some other thread doing deadlock detection already owns it
and current search depth is greater than 0. Instead deadlock
was reported. As a result it has introduced bug #56715.
This patch solves this problem in a different way.
It introduces a new rw_pr_lock_t implementation to be used
by MDL subsystem instead of one based on Linux rwlocks or
our own rwlock implementation. This new implementation
never allows situation in which an rwlock is rd-locked and
there is a blocked pending rd-lock. Thus the situation which
has caused this bug becomes impossible with this implementation.
Due to fact that this implementation is optimized for
wr-lock/unlock scenario which is most common in the MDL
subsystem it doesn't introduce noticeable performance
regressions in sysbench tests. Moreover it significantly
improves situation for POINT_SELECT test when many
connections are used.
No test case is provided as this bug is very hard to repeat
in MTR environment but is repeatable with the help of RQG
tests.
This patch also doesn't include a test for bug #56715
"Concurrent transactions + FLUSH result in sporadical
unwarranted deadlock errors" as it takes too much time to
be run as part of normal test-suite runs.
Before this fix, the server did not recognize 'short' (as in -a)
options but only 'long' (as in --ansi) options
in the startup command line, due to earlier changes in 5.5
introduced for the performance schema.
The root cause is that handle_options() did not honor the
my_getopt_skip_unknown flag when parsing 'short' options.
The fix changes handle_options(), so that my_getopt_skip_unknown is
honored in all cases.
Note that there are limitations to this,
see the added doxygen documentation in handle_options().
The current usage of handle_options() by the server to
parse early performance schema options fits within the limitations.
This has been enforced by an assert for PARSE_EARLY options, for safety.
my_thread_global_end() now sets mysql_thread_basic_global_init_done= 0
to ensure destroyed mutexes are not reused.
I verified that clearing this flag will not result in the redundant allocation
of other resources allocated by my_thread_global_init() and
my_thread_basic_global_init().
Use UNINIT_VAR workaround instead of LINT_INIT. The former can
also be used to silence false-positives in non-debug builds as
it actually does not cause new code to be generated.
FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompatible" to
be pushed as separate patch.
Replaced thread state name "Waiting for table", which was
used by threads waiting for a metadata lock or table flush,
with a set of names which better reflect types of resources
being waited for.
Also replaced "Table lock" thread state name, which was used
by threads waiting on thr_lock.c table level lock, with more
elaborate "Waiting for table level lock", to make it
more consistent with other thread state names.
Updated test cases and their results according to these
changes.
Fixed sys_vars.query_cache_wlock_invalidate_func test to not
to wait for timeout of wait_condition.inc script.
Reverted the ulong->uint diff
Re-applied the first diff.
The original commit message follows:
enum plugin system variables are ulong internally, not int.
On systems where long is not the same as an int it causes
problems.
Fixed by correct typecasting. Removed the test from the
experimental list.
The enum system variables were handled inconsistently
as ints, unsigned int and unsigned long on various places.
This caused problems on platforms on which
sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
Fixed by homogenizing the type of the enum variables
to unsigned int, since it's size compatible with the C enum
type.
Removed the test from the experimental list.
With statement- or mixed-mode logging, "LOAD DATA INFILE" queries
are written to the binlog using special types of log events.
When mysqlbinlog reads such events, it re-creates the file in a
temporary directory with a generated filename and outputs a
"LOAD DATA INFILE" query where the filename is replaced by the
generated file. The temporary file is not deleted by mysqlbinlog
after termination.
To fix the problem, in mixed mode we go to row-based. In SBR, we
document it to remind user the tmpfile is left in a temporary
directory.
* Fixed obvious errors (HAVE_BROKEN_PREAD is not true for on any
of systems we use, definitely not on HPUX)
* Remove other junk flags for OSX and HPUX
* Avoid checking type sizes in universal builds on OSX, again
(CMake2.8.0 fails is different architectures return different results)
* Do not compile template instantiation stuff unless
EXPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INSTANTIATION is used.
* Some cleanup (make gen_lex_hash simpler, avoid dependencies)
* Exclude some unused files from compilation (strtol.c etc)
Remove wrappers around inline -- static inline is used without
wrappers throughout the source code. We rely on the compiler or
linker to eliminate unused static functions.
Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
