MariaDB Server 10.0.28 and 10.1.19 merged code from Percona XtraDB
that introduced support for compressed columns. Much but not all
of this code was disabled by placing #ifdef HAVE_PERCONA_COMPRESSED_COLUMNS
around it.
Among the unused but not disabled code is code to access
some new system tables related to compressed columns.
The creation of these system tables SYS_ZIP_DICT and SYS_ZIP_DICT_COLS
would cause a crash in --innodb-read-only mode when upgrading
from an earlier version to 10.0.28 or 10.1.19.
Let us remove all the dead code related to compressed columns.
Users who already upgraded to 10.0.28 and 10.1.19 will have the two
above mentioned empty tables in their InnoDB system tablespace.
Subsequent versions of MariaDB Server will completely ignore those tables.
Essentially revert MDEV-6759, which addressed a double free of memory
by removing the freeing altogether, introducing the memory leaks.
No double free was observed when running the test suite -DWITH_ASAN.
Replace some mem_heap_free(foreign->heap) with dict_foreign_free(foreign)
so that the calls can be located and instrumented more easily when needed.
(Fixing both InnoDB and XtraDB)
Re-opening a TABLE object (after e.g. FLUSH TABLES or open table cache
eviction) causes ha_innobase to call
dict_stats_update(DICT_STATS_FETCH_ONLY_IF_NOT_IN_MEMORY).
Inside this call, the following is done:
dict_stats_empty_table(table);
dict_stats_copy(table, t);
On the other hand, commands like UPDATE make this call to get the "rows in
table" statistics in table->stats.records:
ha_innobase->info(HA_STATUS_VARIABLE|HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK)
note the HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK parameter. It means, no locks are taken by
::info() If the ::info() call happens between dict_stats_empty_table
and dict_stats_copy calls, the UPDATE's optimizer will get an estimate
of table->stats.records=1, which causes it to pick a full table scan,
which in turn will take a lot of row locks and cause other bad
consequences.

MDEV-10083: Orphan ibd file when playing with foreign keys
Analysis: row_drop_table_for_mysql did not allow dropping
referenced table even in case when actual creating of the
referenced table was not successfull if foreign_key_checks=1.
Fix: Allow dropping referenced table even if foreign_key_checks=1
if actual table create returned error.
while according to Storage Engine API column names should be compared
case insensitively. This can cause FRM and InnoDB data dictionary to
go out of sync.
There is several different ways to incorrectly define
foreign key constraint. In many cases earlier MariaDB
versions the error messages produced by these cases
are not very clear and helpful. This patch improves
the warning messages produced by foreign key parsing.
Analysis: MySQL table definition contains also virtual columns. Similarly,
index fielnr references MySQL table fields. However, InnoDB table definition
does not contain virtual columns. Therefore, when matching MySQL key fieldnr
we need to use actual column name to find out referenced InnoDB dictionary
column name.
Fix: Add new function to match MySQL index key columns to InnoDB dictionary.
when created FK
Analysis: Table name is on filename charset but foreign key
identifiers are not. This lead incorrect foreign key
identifier number to be used.
Fix: Convert foreign key identifier to filename charset before
comparing it to table name when largest foreign key identifier
number is resolved.
Analysis: after a red-black-tree lookup we use node withouth
checking did lookup succeed or not. This lead to situation
where NULL-pointer was used.
Fix: Add additional check that found node from red-back-tree
is valid.
causes server crash
Analysis: If wrong data types used on foreign constraint there
was possibility that foreign->id is NULL when incorrect
foreign constraint was removed from the dictionary cache.
Fix: Add guard foreign->id != NULL before trying to lookup
or remove the foreign constraint from dictionary cache.
Tested using user database where problem was repeatable.
