The first problem was that SHOW CREATE TRIGGER took a stronger metadata
lock than required. This caused the statement to be blocked when it was
not needed. For example, LOCK TABLE WRITE in one connection would block
SHOW CREATE TRIGGER in another connection.
Another problem was that a SHOW CREATE TRIGGER statement issued inside
a transaction did not release its metadata locks at the end of the
statement execution. This happened even if SHOW CREATE TRIGGER is an
information statement. The consequence was that SHOW CREATE TRIGGER
was able to block other connections from accessing the table
(e.g. using ALTER TABLE).
This patch fixes the problem by changing SHOW CREATE TRIGGER to take
a MDL_SHARED_HIGH_PRIO metadata lock similar to what is already done
for SHOW CREATE TABLE. The patch also changes SHOW CREATE TRIGGER to
explicitly release any metadata locks taken by the statement after
it completes.
Test case added to show_check.test.

The problem was that a SHOW CREATE TABLE statement issued inside
a transaction did not release its metadata locks at the end of the
statement execution. This happened even if SHOW CREATE TABLE is an
information statement.
The consequence was that SHOW CREATE TABLE was able to block other
connections from accessing the table (e.g. using ALTER TABLE).
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly releasing any metadata
locks taken by SHOW CREATE TABLE after the statement completes.
Test case added to show_check.test.
The problem was that a statement could cause an assert if it was aborted by
KILL QUERY while it waited on a metadata lock. This assert checks that a
statement either sends OK or an error to the client. If the bug was triggered
on release builds, it caused OK to be sent to the client instead of
ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED.
The root cause of the problem was that there are two separate ways to tell if a
statement is killed: thd->killed and mysys_var->abort. KILL QUERY causes both
to be set, thd->killed before mysys_var->abort. Also, both values are reset
at the end of statement execution. This means that it is possible for
KILL QUERY to first set thd->killed, then have the killed statement reset
both thd->killed and mysys_var->abort and finally have KILL QUERY set
mysys_var->abort. This means that the connection with the killed statement
will start executing the next statement with the two values out of sync - i.e.
thd->killed not set but mysys_var->abort set.
Since mysys_var->abort is used to check if a wait for a metadata lock should
be aborted, the next statement would immediately abort any such waiting.
When waiting is aborted, no OK message is sent and thd->killed is checked to
see if ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED should be sent to the client. But since
the->killed had been reset, neither OK nor an error message was sent to the
client. This then triggered the assert.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the metadata lock waiting code to
check thd->killed.
No test case added as reproducing the assert is dependent on very exact timing
of two (or more) threads. The patch has been checked using RQG and the grammar
posted on the bug report.
of the "embedded" server
Problem: mysqltest_embedded failed to load ha_innodb_plugin library
on some platforms (due to some unresolved references).
Fix: on FreeBSD use -export-dynamic flag building mysqltest_embedded.
That allows to use its global symbols to resolve references in the
dynamically loaded plugin library.
Calculating the estimated number of records for a range scan
may take a significant time, and it was impossible for a user
to interrupt that process by killing the connection or the
query.
Fixed by checking the thread's 'killed' status in
check_quick_keys() and interrupting the calculation process if
it is set to a non-zero value.
strict aliasing violations.
Post-merge fix: include my_compiler.h before my_attribute.h
as the latter will undef __attribute__ if the compiler is not
GCC. Based on the compiler version, in my_compiler.h we know
for sure whether the aligned attribute is supported. Furthermore,
undefining attribute might cause bugs if some system header
uses it.
