STATEMENTS FAIL".
Attempt to execute CREATE TABLE LIKE statement on a MyISAM
table with INDEX or DATA DIRECTORY options specified as a
source resulted in "MyISAM table '...' is in use..." error.
According to our documentation such a statement should create
a copy of source table with DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY options
omitted.
The problem was that new implementation of CREATE TABLE LIKE
statement in 5.5 tried to copy value of INDEX and DATA DIRECTORY
parameters from the source table. Since in description of source
table this parameters also included name of this table, attempt
to create target table with these parameter led to file name
conflict and error.
This fix addresses the problem by preserving documented and
backward-compatible behavior. I.e. by ensuring that contents
of DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY clauses for the source table is
ignored when target table is created.
SECONDARY INDEX IN INNODB
The patches for Bug#11751388 and Bug#11784056 enabled concurrent
reads while creating secondary indexes in InnoDB. However, they
introduced a regression. This regression occured if ALTER TABLE
failed after the index had been added, for example during the
lock upgrade needed to update .FRM. If this happened, InnoDB
and the server got out of sync with regards to which indexes
actually existed. Therefore the patch for Bug#11815600 again
disabled concurrent reads.
This patch re-enables concurrent reads. The original regression
is fixed by splitting the ADD INDEX operation into two parts.
First the new index is created but not made active. This is
done while concurrent reads are allowed. The second part of
the operation makes the index active (or reverts the change).
This is done after lock upgrade, which prevents the original
regression.
In order to implement this change, the patch changes the storage
API for in-place index creation. handler::add_index() is split
into two functions, handler_add_index() and
handler::final_add_index(). The former for creating indexes without
making them visible and the latter for commiting (i.e. making
visible) new indexes or reverting the changes.
Large parts of this patch were written by Marko Mäkelä.
Test case added to innodb_mysql_lock.test.
In sql_class.cc, 'row_count', of type 'ha_rows', was used as last argument for
ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD which is
"Incorrect %-.32s value: '%-.128s' for column '%.192s' at row %ld".
So 'ha_rows' was used as 'long'.
On SPARC32 Solaris builds, 'long' is 4 bytes and 'ha_rows' is 'longlong' i.e. 8 bytes.
So the printf-like code was reading only the first 4 bytes.
Because the CPU is big-endian, 1LL is 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
so the first four bytes yield 0. So the warning message had "row 0" instead of
"row 1" in test outfile_loaddata.test:
-Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 1
+Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 0
All error-messaging functions which internally invoke some printf-life function
are potential candidate for such mistakes.
One apparently easy way to catch such mistakes is to use
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT (from my_attribute.h).
But this works only when call site has both:
a) the format as a string literal
b) the types of arguments.
So:
func(ER(ER_BLAH), 10);
will silently not be checked, because ER(ER_BLAH) is not known at
compile time (it is known at run-time, and depends on the chosen
language).
And
func("%s", a va_list argument);
has the same problem, as the *real* type of arguments is not
known at this site at compile time (it's known in some caller).
Moreover,
func(ER(ER_BLAH));
though possibly correct (if ER(ER_BLAH) has no '%' markers), will not
compile (gcc says "error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments").
Consequences:
1) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT is here added only to functions which in practice
take "string literal" formats: "my_error_reporter" and "print_admin_msg".
2) it cannot be added to the other functions: my_error(),
push_warning_printf(), Table_check_intact::report_error(),
general_log_print().
To do a one-time check of functions listed in (2), the following
"static code analysis" has been done:
1) replace
my_error(ER_xxx, arguments for substitution in format)
with the equivalent
my_printf_error(ER_xxx,ER(ER_xxx), arguments for substitution in
format),
so that we have ER(ER_xxx) and the arguments *in the same call site*
2) add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT to push_warning_printf(),
Table_check_intact::report_error(), general_log_print()
3) replace ER(xxx) with the hard-coded English text found in
errmsg.txt (like: ER(ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) is replaced with
"Unknown error"), so that a call site has the format as string literal
4) this way, ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT can effectively do its job
5) compile, fix errors detected by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
6) revert steps 1-2-3.
The present patch has no compiler error when submitted again to the
static code analysis above.
It cannot catch all problems though: see Field::set_warning(), in
which a call to push_warning_printf() has a variable error
(thus, not replacable by a string literal); I checked set_warning() calls
by hand though.
See also WL 5883 for one proposal to avoid such bugs from appearing
again in the future.
The issues fixed in the patch are:
a) mismatch in types (like 'int' passed to '%ld')
b) more arguments passed than specified in the format.
This patch resolves mismatches by changing the type/number of arguments,
not by changing error messages of sql/share/errmsg.txt. The latter would be wrong,
per the following old rule: errmsg.txt must be as stable as possible; no insertions
or deletions of messages, no changes of type or number of printf-like format specifiers,
are allowed, as long as the change impacts a message already released in a GA version.
If this rule is not followed:
- Connectors, which use error message numbers, will be confused (by insertions/deletions
of messages)
- using errmsg.sys of MySQL 5.1.n with mysqld of MySQL 5.1.(n+1)
could produce wrong messages or crash; such usage can easily happen if
installing 5.1.(n+1) while /etc/my.cnf still has --language=/path/to/5.1.n/xxx;
or if copying mysqld from 5.1.(n+1) into a 5.1.n installation.
When fixing b), I have verified that the superfluous arguments were not used in the format
in the first 5.1 GA (5.1.30 'bteam@astra04-20081114162938-z8mctjp6st27uobm').
Had they been used, then passing them today, even if the message doesn't use them
anymore, would have been necessary, as explained above.
CLAUSE FAILS OR ABORTS SERVER".
Attempt to re-execute prepared ALTER TABLE statement which
involves .FRM-only changes and also have RENAME clause led
to unwarranted 'Table doesn't exist' error in production
builds and assertion failure for debug builds.
This problem stemmed from the fact that for such ALTER TABLE
mysql_alter_table() code changed table list element for table
to be altered when it tried to re-open table under new name.
Since this change was not reverted back before next
re-execution, it made this statement re-execution unsafe.
This fix addresses this problem by avoiding changing table list
element from the main table list in such a situation. Instead
temporary TABLE_LIST object is used.
FLUSH TABLES under FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK leads
to assert failure.
This assert was triggered if a statement tried up upgrade a metadata
lock with an active FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK. The assert
checks that the connection already holds a global intention exclusive
metadata lock. However, FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK does not
acquire this lock in order to be compatible with FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK. Therefore any metadata lock upgrade caused the assert to
be triggered.
This patch fixes the problem by preventing metadata lock upgrade
if the connection has an active FLUSH TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK.
ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED_FOR_WRITE will instead be reported to the client.
Test case added to flush.test.

- Implement default version of handler::get_tablespace_name() since tablespace
is now available in share and it's unnecessary for each handler to implement.

- Add test for combinations of TABLESPACE and STORAGE with CREATE TABLE

- Add test to show that 5.5 now can read a .frm file created by MySQL Cluster

This is a backport of the patch for MySQL Bug#50574.
Adding a SPATIAL INDEX on non-geometrical columns caused a
segmentation fault when the table was subsequently
inserted into.
A test was added in mysql_prepare_create_table to explicitly
check whether non-geometrical columns are used in a
spatial index, and throw an error if so.
For MySQL 5.5 and later, a new and more meaningful error
message was introduced. For 5.1, we (re-)use an existing
error code.
that implement add_index
The problem was that ALTER TABLE blocked reads on an InnoDB table
while adding a secondary index, even if this was not needed. It is
only needed for the final step where the .frm file is updated.
The reason queries were blocked, was that ALTER TABLE upgraded the
metadata lock from MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE (which blocks writes) to
MDL_EXCLUSIVE (which blocks all accesses) before index creation.
The way the server handles index creation, is that storage engines
publish their capabilities to the server and the server determines
which of the following three ways this can be handled: 1) build a
new version of the table; 2) change the existing table but with
exclusive metadata lock; 3) change the existing table but without
metadata lock upgrade.
For InnoDB and secondary index creation, option 3) should have been
selected. However this failed for two reasons. First, InnoDB did
not publish this capability properly.
Second, the ALTER TABLE code failed to made proper use of the
information supplied by the storage engine. A variable
need_lock_for_indexes was set accordingly, but was not later used.
This patch fixes this problem by only doing metadata lock upgrade
before index creation/deletion if this variable has been set.
This patch also changes some of the related terminology used
in the code. Specifically the use of "fast" and "online" with
respect to ALTER TABLE. "Fast" was used to indicate that an
ALTER TABLE operation could be done without involving a
temporary table. "Fast" has been renamed "in-place" to more
accurately describe the behavior.
"Online" meant that the operation could be done without taking
a table lock. However, in the current implementation writes
are always prohibited during ALTER TABLE and an exclusive
metadata lock is held while updating the .frm, so ALTER TABLE
is not completely online. This patch replaces "online" with
"in-place", with additional comments indicating if concurrent
reads are allowed during index creation/deletion or not.
An important part of this update of terminology is renaming
of the handler flags used by handlers to indicate if index
creation/deletion can be done in-place and if concurrent reads
are allowed. For example, the HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITES
flag has been renamed to HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_READ_WRITE,
while HA_ONLINE_ADD_INDEX is now HA_INPLACE_ADD_INDEX_NO_WRITE.
Note that this is a rename to clarify current behavior, the
flag values have not changed and no flags have been removed or
added.

leave the table unusable".
Failing ALTER statement on partitioned table could have left
this table in an unusable state. This has happened in cases
when ALTER was executed using "fast" algorithm, which doesn't
involve copying of data between old and new versions of table,
and the resulting new table was incompatible with partitioning
function in some way.
The problem stems from the fact that discrepancies between new
table definition and partitioning function are discovered only
when the table is opened. In case of "fast" algorithm this has
happened too late during ALTER's execution, at the moment when
all changes were already done and couldn't have been reverted.
In the cases when "slow" algorithm, which copies data, is used
such discrepancies are detected at the moment new table
definition is opened implicitly when new version of table is
created in storage engine. As result ALTER is aborted before
any changes to table were done.
This fix tries to address this issue by ensuring that "fast"
algorithm behaves similarly to "slow" algorithm and checks
compatibility between new definition and partitioning function
by trying to open new definition after .FRM file for it has
been created.
Long term we probably should implement some way to check
compatibility between partitioning function and new table
definition which won't involve opening it, as this should
allow much cleaner fix for this problem.
breaks SBR
This pre-requisite patch refactors the code for dropping tables, used
by DROP TABLE and DROP DATABASE. The patch moves the code for acquiring
metadata locks out of mysql_rm_table_part2() and makes it the
responsibility of the caller. This in preparation of changing the
DROP DATABASE implementation to acquire all metadata locks before any
changes are made. mysql_rm_table_part2() is renamed
mysql_rm_table_no_locks() to reflect the change.
bug #57006 "Deadlock between HANDLER and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK" and bug #54673 "It takes too long to get readlock for
'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK'".
The first bug manifested itself as a deadlock which occurred
when a connection, which had some table open through HANDLER
statement, tried to update some data through DML statement
while another connection tried to execute FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK concurrently.
What happened was that FTWRL in the second connection managed
to perform first step of GRL acquisition and thus blocked all
upcoming DML. After that it started to wait for table open
through HANDLER statement to be flushed. When the first connection
tried to execute DML it has started to wait for GRL/the second
connection creating deadlock.
The second bug manifested itself as starvation of FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK statements in cases when there was a constant
stream of concurrent DML statements (in two or more
connections).
This has happened because requests for protection against GRL
which were acquired by DML statements were ignoring presence of
pending GRL and thus the latter was starved.
This patch solves both these problems by re-implementing GRL
using metadata locks.
Similar to the old implementation acquisition of GRL in new
implementation is two-step. During the first step we block
all concurrent DML and DDL statements by acquiring global S
metadata lock (each DML and DDL statement acquires global IX
lock for its duration). During the second step we block commits
by acquiring global S lock in COMMIT namespace (commit code
acquires global IX lock in this namespace).
Note that unlike in old implementation acquisition of
protection against GRL in DML and DDL is semi-automatic.
We assume that any statement which should be blocked by GRL
will either open and acquires write-lock on tables or acquires
metadata locks on objects it is going to modify. For any such
statement global IX metadata lock is automatically acquired
for its duration.
The first problem is solved because waits for GRL become
visible to deadlock detector in metadata locking subsystem
and thus deadlocks like one in the first bug become impossible.
The second problem is solved because global S locks which
are used for GRL implementation are given preference over
IX locks which are acquired by concurrent DML (and we can
switch to fair scheduling in future if needed).
Important change:
FTWRL/GRL no longer blocks DML and DDL on temporary tables.
Before this patch behavior was not consistent in this respect:
in some cases DML/DDL statements on temporary tables were
blocked while in others they were not. Since the main use cases
for FTWRL are various forms of backups and temporary tables are
not preserved during backups we have opted for consistently
allowing DML/DDL on temporary tables during FTWRL/GRL.
Important change:
This patch changes thread state names which are used when
DML/DDL of FTWRL is waiting for global read lock. It is now
either "Waiting for global read lock" or "Waiting for commit
lock" depending on the stage on which FTWRL is.
Incompatible change:
To solve deadlock in events code which was exposed by this
patch we have to replace LOCK_event_metadata mutex with
metadata locks on events. As result we have to prohibit
DDL on events under LOCK TABLES.
This patch also adds extensive test coverage for interaction
of DML/DDL and FTWRL.
Performance of new and old global read lock implementations
in sysbench tests were compared. There were no significant
difference between new and old implementations.
ALTER TABLE RENAME, DISABLE KEYS.
The code of ALTER TABLE RENAME, DISABLE KEYS could
issue a commit while holding LOCK_open mutex.
This is a regression introduced by the fix for
Bug 54453.
This failed an assert guarding us against a potential
deadlock with connections trying to execute
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK.
The fix is to move acquisition of LOCK_open outside
the section that issues ha_autocommit_or_rollback().
LOCK_open is taken to protect against concurrent
operations with .frms and the table definition
cache, and doesn't need to cover the call to commit.
A test case added to innodb_mysql.test.
The patch is to be null-merged to 5.5, which
already has 54453 null-merged to it.
data dictionary confusion
On file systems with case insensitive file names, and
lower_case_table_names set to '2', the server could crash
due to a table definition cache inconsistency. This is
the default setting on MacOSX, but may also be set and
used on MS Windows.
The bug is caused by using two different strategies for
creating the hash key for the table definition cache, resulting
in failure to look up an entry which is present in the cache,
or failure to delete an existing entry. One strategy was to
use the real table name (with case preserved), and the other
to use a normalized table name (i.e a lower case version).
This is manifested in two cases. One is during 'DROP DATABASE',
where all known files are removed. The removal from
the table definition cache is done via a generated list of
TABLE_LIST with keys (wrongly) created using the case preserved
name. The other is during CREATE TABLE, where the cache lookup
is also (wrongly) based on the case preserved name.
The fix was to use only the normalized table name when
creating hash keys.
REBUILD PARTITION under LOCK TABLE
Collapsed patch including updates from the reviews.
In case of failure in ALTER ... PARTITION under LOCK TABLE
the server could crash, due to it had modified the locked
table object, which was not reverted in case of failure,
resulting in a bad table definition used after the failed
command.
Solved by instead of altering the locked table object and
its partition_info struct, creating an internal temporary
intermediate table object used for altering,
just like the non partitioned mysql_alter_table.
So if an error occur before the alter operation is complete,
the original table is not modified at all.
But if the alter operation have succeeded so far that it
must be completed as whole,
the table is properly closed and reopened.
(The completion on failure is done by the ddl_log.)
adding new indexes
A fast alter table requires that the existing (old) table
and indices are unchanged (i.e only new indices can be
added). To verify this, the layout and flags of the old
table/indices are compared for equality with the new.
The PACK_KEYS option is a no-op in InnoDB, but the flag
exists, and is used in the table compare. We need to
check this (table) option flag before deciding whether an
index should be packed or not. If the table has
explicitly set PACK_KEYS to 0, the created indices should
not be marked as packed/packable.
The problem was that RENAME TABLE caused an assert if the system variable
lower_case_table_names was 2 (default on Mac OS X) and the old table name
was given in upper case. This caused lowercase_table2.test to fail.
The assert checks that an exclusive metadata lock is held by the connection
trying to do RENAME TABLE - specificially during updates of table triggers.
The assert was triggered since the check is case sensitive and the lock
was held on the normalized (lower case) version of the table name.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure a normalized version of the
table name is used for the metadata lock check, while using a non-normalized
version of the table name for the rename of trigger files. The same is done
for ALTER TABLE ... RENAME.
Regression testing for the bug itself is already covered by
lowercase_table2.test. Additional coverage added to lowercase_fs_off.test.

temp table
This patch introduces two key changes in the replication's behavior.
Firstly, it reverts part of BUG#51894 which puts any update to temporary tables
into the trx-cache. Now, updates to temporary tables are handled according to
the type of their engines as a regular table.
Secondly, an unsafe mixed statement, (i.e. a statement that access transactional
table as well non-transactional or temporary table, and writes to any of them),
are written into the trx-cache in order to minimize errors in the execution when
the statement logging format is in use.
Such changes has a direct impact on which statements are classified as unsafe
statements and thus part of BUG#53259 is reverted.

When passing the TABLE instance for invalidation to the

Make sure we invalidate the table using TABLE_LIST, not
TABLE, object.
This patch also fixes Bug#55452 "SET PASSWORD is
replicated twice in RBR mode".
The goal of this patch is to remove the release of
metadata locks from close_thread_tables().
This is necessary to not mistakenly release
the locks in the course of a multi-step
operation that involves multiple close_thread_tables()
or close_tables_for_reopen().
On the same token, move statement commit outside
close_thread_tables().
Other cleanups:
Cleanup COM_FIELD_LIST.
Don't call close_thread_tables() in COM_SHUTDOWN -- there
are no open tables there that can be closed (we leave
the locked tables mode in THD destructor, and this
close_thread_tables() won't leave it anyway).
Make open_and_lock_tables() and open_and_lock_tables_derived()
call close_thread_tables() upon failure.
Remove the calls to close_thread_tables() that are now
unnecessary.
Simplify the back off condition in Open_table_context.
Streamline metadata lock handling in LOCK TABLES
implementation.
Add asserts to ensure correct life cycle of
statement transaction in a session.
Remove a piece of dead code that has also become redundant
after the fix for Bug 37521.
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.
table with active trx
Essentially, the problem is that InnoDB does a implicit commit
when a cursor (table handler) is unlocked/closed, creating
a dissonance between the transaction state within the server
layer and the storage engine layer. Theoretically, a statement
transaction can encompass several table instances in a similar
manner to a multiple statement transaction, hence it does not
make sense to limit a statement transaction to the lifetime of
the table instances (cursors) used within it.
Since this particular instance of the problem is only triggerable
on 5.1 and is masked on 5.5 due 2PC being skipped (assertion is in
the prepare phase of a 2PC), the solution (which is less risky) is
to explicitly end the transaction before the cached table is unlock
on rename table.
The patch is to be null merged into trunk.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
This crash occured after ALTER TABLE was used on a temporary
transactional table locked by LOCK TABLES. Any later attempts to
execute LOCK/UNLOCK TABLES, caused the server to crash.
The reason for the crash was the list of locked tables would
end up having a pointer to a free'd table instance. This happened
because ALTER TABLE deleted the table without also removing the
table reference from the locked tables list.
This patch fixes the problem by making sure ALTER TABLE also
removes the table from the locked tables list.
Test case added to innodb_mysql.test.
