The maximum value for innodb_thread_sleep_delay is 4294967295 (32-bit) or
18446744073709551615 (64-bit) microseconds. This is way too big, since
the max value of innodb_thread_sleep_delay is limited by
innodb_adaptive_max_sleep_delay if that value is set to non-zero value
(its default is 150,000).
Solution
The maximum value of innodb_thread_sleep_delay should be the same as
the maximum value of innodb_adaptive_max_sleep_delay, which is 1000000.

IN DOCUMENTATION
Problem
-------
The documentation says that we support 'K' prefix
while specifiying size for innodb datafile in the
server variable for innodb_data_file_path ,but the
function srv_parse_megabytes() only handles only
'M' (megabytes) and 'G' (gigabytes) .
Fix
---
Modify srv_parse_megabytes() to handle Kilobytes.
Add in documentation that while specifying size
in KB it should be mentioned in multiples of 1024
other wise they will be rounded off to nearest
MB (megabyte) boundry .(eg if size mentioned
as 2313KB will be considered as 2 MB ).

LOCAL TABLE WHEN ONLY 1 LOCAL ROW
Description: When updating a federated table with UPDATE...
JOIN, the server consistently crashes with Signal 11 when
only 1 row exists in the local table involved in the join
and that 1 row can be joined with a row in the federated
table.
Analysis: Interaction between the federated engine and the
optimizer results in the crash. In our scenario, ie, local
table having only one row, the program is following a
different path because the table is treated as a constant
table by the join optimizer. So in this scenario
"index_read()" is happening in the prepare phase,
since optimizer plan is different for constant table joins.
In this case, "index_read_idx_map()" (inside handler.cc) is
calling "index_read()" and inside "index_read()", matching
rows are fetched and "stored_result" gets populated by
calling "store_result()". And just after "index_read()",
"index_end()" function is called. And in the "index_end()",
its freeing the "stored_result" by calling "free_result()".
So when it reaches the execution phase, in "position()"
function, we are getting assertion at
"DBUG_ASSERT(stored_result);". In all other scenarios (ie,
table with more than 1 row), optimizer plan is different
and "index_read()" is happening in the execution phase.
Fix: So my fix is to have a separate ha_federated member
function for "index_read_idx_map()" which will handle
federated engine separately. So that position() will be
called before index_end() call in constant table scenario.
ERRORS IN THE FK SECTION
ANALYSIS
--------
Any error during the renaming of the table was
incorrectly logged in the dict_foreign_err_file
and it showed up in foreign key section when
we give the query "show engine innodb status".
FIX
---
Prevent renaming error from being logged in
dict_foreign_err_file section.

DESTRUCTED THD OBJ
Prior to fix, function check_performance_schema() could leave
behind stale pointers in thread local storage, for the following keys:
- THR_THD (used by _current_thd)
- THR_MALLOC (used for memory allocation)
This is an unsafe practice, which can potentially cause crashes,
and that can cause other bugs when code is modified during maintenance.
With this fix, thread local storage keys used temporarily within
function check_performance_schema() are cleaned up after use.
possibly since it was introduced in the patch for Bug#16720368 around
2013-04-30. This fix is simply to adjust the mtr.add_suppression() lines
in the testcase and to add a missing "\n" in the error message.

AND 'KILL SESSION' LEAD TO CRASH
Analysis:
--------
This situation occurs when the connection executes query
"show engine innodb status" and this connection is killed by
executing statement "kill <con>" by another connection.
In function "innodb_show_status", function "stat_print"
is called to print the status but return value of function
is not checked. After killing connection, if write to
connection fails then error is returned and same is set
in Diagnostic area. Since FALSE is returned from
"innodb_show_status" now, assert to check no error
is set in function "set_eof_status" (called from
my_eof) is failing.
Fix:
----
Changed code to check return value of function "stat_print"
in "innodb_show_status".
ha_innobase::records_in_range() should return HA_POS_ERROR for the table during discarded without requesting pages.
The later other handler method should treat the error correctly.
Approved by Sunny in rb#3433
INDEX_READ_MAP HAD NO MATCH
If index_read_map is called for exact search and no matching records
exists it will position the cursor on the next record, but still having the
relative position to BTR_PCUR_ON.
This will make a call for index_next to read yet another next record,
instead of returning the record the cursor points to.
Fixed by setting pcur->rel_pos = BTR_PCUR_BEFORE if an exact
[prefix] search is done, but failed.
Also avoids optimistic restoration if rel_pos != BTR_PCUR_ON,
since btr_cur may be different than old_rec.

The testcase for this bug fails randomly due to two reasons.
1. Due to ibuf merge happening background
2. Due to dict stats update which brings the evicted page back into
buffer pool.
Fix ibuf_contract_ext() to not do any merges with ibuf_debug enabled and
also changed dict_stats_update() to return fake statistics without
bringing the secondary index pages into buffer pool.
Approved by Marko. rb#3419
IT IS DONE IN-PLACE
With change buffer enabled, InnoDB doesn't write a transaction log
record when it merges a record from the insert buffer to an secondary
index page if the insertion is performed as an update-in-place.
Fixed by logging the 'update-in-place' operation on secondary index
pages.
Approved by Marko. rb#2429
compressed pages
After loading a compressed-only page in buf_page_get_gen() we allocate a new
block for decompression. The problem is that the compressed page is neither
buffer-fixed nor I/O-fixed by the time we call buf_LRU_get_free_block(),
so it may end up being evicted and returned back as a new block.
buf_page_get_gen(): Temporarily buffer-fix the compressed-only block
while allocating memory for an uncompressed page frame.
This should prevent this form of the infinite loop, which is more likely
with a small innodb_buffer_pool_size.

DICT_TABLE_GET_FORMAT(CLUST_INDEX->TABLE) >= 1
The function row_sel_sec_rec_is_for_clust_rec() was incorrectly
preparing to compare a NULL column prefix in a secondary index with a
non-NULL column in a clustered index.
This can trigger an assertion failure in 5.1 plugin and later. In the
built-in InnoDB of MySQL 5.1 and earlier, we would apparently only do
some extra work, by trimming the clustered index field for the
comparison.
The code might actually have worked properly apart from this debug
assertion failure. It is merely doing some extra work in fetching a
BLOB column, and then comparing it to NULL (which would return the
same result, no matter what the BLOB contents is).
While the test case involves CHECK TABLE, this could theoretically
occur during any read that uses a secondary index on a column prefix
of a column that can be NULL.

There was a race condition in the rollback of TRX_UNDO_UPD_DEL_REC.
Once row_undo_mod_clust() has rolled back the changes by the rolling-back
transaction, it attempts to purge the delete-marked record, if possible, in a
separate mini-transaction.
However, row_undo_mod_remove_clust_low() fails to check if the DB_TRX_ID of
the record that it found after repositioning the cursor, is still the same.
If it is not, it means that the record was purged and another record was
inserted in its place.
So, the rollback would have performed an incorrect purge, breaking the
locking rules and causing corruption.
The problem was found by creating a table that contains a unique
secondary index and a primary key, and two threads running REPLACE
with only one value for the unique column, so that the uniqueness
constraint would be violated all the time, leading to statement
rollback.
This bug exists in all InnoDB versions (I checked MySQL 3.23.53).
It has become easier to repeat in 5.5 and 5.6 thanks to scalability
improvements and a dedicated purge thread.

Since the mtr_t struct is marked as invalid in DEBUG_VALGRIND build
during mtr_commit, checking mtr->inside_ibuf will cause this warning.
Also since mtr->inside_ibuf cannot be set in mtr_commit (assert check)
and mtr->state is set to MTR_COMMITTED, the 'ut_ad(!ibuf_inside(&mtr))'
check is not needed if 'ut_ad(mtr.state == MTR_COMMITTED)' is also
checked.
SHUTDOWN IS IN PROGRESS
PROBLEM
-------
In the background thread srv_master_thread() we have a
a one second delay loop which will continuously monitor
server activity .If the server is inactive (with out any
user activity) or in a shutdown state we do some background
activity like flushing the changes.In the current code
we are not checking if server is in shutdown state before
sleeping for one second.
FIX
---
If server is in shutdown state ,then dont go to one second
sleep.
Problem:
When the user specified foreign key name contains "_ibfk_", InnoDB wrongly
tries to rename it.
Solution:
When a table is renamed, all its associated foreign keys will also be renamed,
only if the foreign key names are automatically generated. If the foreign key
names are given by the user, even if it has _ibfk_ in it, it must not be
renamed.

MULTI-FILE TABLESPACE
ANALYSIS
--------
When a tablespace has multiple data files, InnoDB fails to
open the tablespace. This is because for each ibd file,
the first page is checked.But the first page of all ibd file
need not be the first page of the tablespace. Only the first
page of the tablespace contains the tablespace header. When
we check the first page of an ibd file that is not the first
page of the tablespace, then the "tablespace flags" is not
really available.This was wrongly used to check if a page is
corrupt or not.
FIX
---
Use the tablespace flags only if the page number is 0
in a tablespace.

IF IT HAS A WRONG COUNT
If CHECK TABLE finds that a secondary index contains the wrong
number of entries, it used to report an error but not mark the
index as corrupt. The error means that the index should be rebuilt,
which can be done with ALTER TABLE DROP INDEX and ALTER TABLE ADD
INDEX. But just in case the DBA does not pay any attention to the
output of CHECK TABLE, the secondary index should be marked as
corrupted so that it is not used again.

ON DELETION ORDER
Problem:
When a InnoDB index page is under-filled, we will merge it with either
the left sibling node or the right sibling node. But this checking is
incorrect. When the left sibling node is available, even if merging
is not possible with left sibling node, we do not check for the
possibility of merging with the right sibling node.
Solution:
If left sibling node is available, and merging with left sibling node
is not possible, then check if merge with right sibling node is
possible.
