DML flow and SAVEPOINT
The problem was that replication could break if a transaction involving
both transactional and non-transactional tables was rolled back to a
savepoint. It broke if a concurrent connection tried to drop a
transactional table which was locked after the savepoint was set.
This DROP TABLE completed when ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT was executed as the
lock on the table was dropped by the transaction. When the slave later
tried to apply the binlog, it would fail as the table would already
have been dropped.
The reason for the problem is that transactions involving both
transactional and non-transactional tables are written fully to the
binlog during ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT. At the same time, metadata locks
acquired after a savepoint, were released during ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT.
This allowed a second connection to drop a table only used between
SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT. Which caused the transaction binlog
to refer to a non-existing table when it was written during ROLLBACK
TO SAVEPOINT.
This patch fixes the problem by not releasing metadata locks when
ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT is executed if binlogging is enabled.
