Setting "streamfmt=mbstream" in the "[sst]" section causes SST to fail
because the format automatically switches to 'tar' by default (insead
of mbstream).
To fix this, we need to add mbstream to the list of valid values for
the format, making it synonymous with xbstream. This must be done both
in the SST script and when parsing the options of the corresponding
utilities.
After applying MDEV-18863, in some test configurations, SST
may fails due to duplication of some parameters (in particular
"--port") in the main part of the command line and after
"--mysqld-args", as well as due to incorrect interpretation
of the parameter "--port" passed after "--mysqld-args" when
the SST script is invoked without explicitly specifying a port
for SST. In addition, it is necessary to correctly handle spaces,
quotation marks and special characters when copying original
arguments from the argv[] array to a new command line (after
"--mysqld-args"). This patch resolves these shortcomings.
Some users and some scripts (for example, mysqld_multi.sh) use special
option groups with names like [mysqld1], [mysqld2], ..., [mysqldN].
But SST scripts can't currently fully support these option groups.
The only option group-related value it gets from the server is
--defaults-group-suffix, if that option was set for mysqld when
the server was started.
However, the SST scripts does not get told by the server to read
these option groups, so this means that the SST script will fail
to read options like innodb-data-home-dir when it is in a option
group like [mysqld1]...[mysqldN].
Moreover, SST scripts ignore many parameters that can be passed
to them explicitly and cannot transfer them further, for example,
to the input of mariabackup utility. Ideally, we want to transfer
all the parameters of the original mysqld call to utilities such
as mariabackup, however the SST script does not receive these
parameters from the server and therefore cannot transfer them to
mariabackup.
To correct these shortcomings, we need to transfer to the scripts
all of the parameters of the original mysqld call, and in the SST
scripts themselves provide for the transfer all of these parameters
to utilities such as mariabackup. To prevent these parameters from
mixing with the script's own parameters, they should be transferred
to SST script after the special option "--mysqld-args", followed by
the string argument with the original parameters, as it received by
the mysqld call at the time of launch (further all these parameters
will be passed to mariabackup, for example).
In addition, the SST scripts themselves must be refined so that
they can read the parameters from the user-selected group, not just
from the global mysqld configuration group. And also so that they
can receive the parameters (which important for their work) as
command-line arguments.
Most of the mtr tests in the galera_3nodes suite fail
for a variety of reasons with a variety of errors.
This patch fixes several substantial flaws
in the galera_3nodes suite tests and in the mtr framework
service files, adapting the tests from galera_3nodes
for the current version of MariaDB.
This patch also synchronizes some galera_3nodes-related
files with the latest changes made for MDEV-17835 (v2 patch)
and for MDEV-18379 in other branches (10.2 and 10.3).
Closes#1161
This patch contains the port of the MDEV-18379 patch
for 10.1 branch, but also includes a number of changes
made within MDEV-17835, which are necessary for the
normal operation of tests that use IPv6:
1) Fixed flaws in the galera_3nodes mtr suite control scripts,
because of which they could not work with mariabackup.
2) Fixed numerous bugs in the SST scripts and in the mtr test
files (galera_3nodes mtr suite) that prevented the use of Galera
with IPv6 addresses.
3) Fixed flaws in tests for rsync and mysqldump (for galera_3nodes
mtr tests suite). These tests were not performed successfully
without these fixes.
4) Currently, the three-node mtr suite for Galera (galera_3nodes)
uses a separate IPv6 availability check using the "have_ipv6.inc"
file. This check duplicates a more accurate check at suite.pm
level, which can be used by including the file "check_ipv6.inc".
This patch removes this discrepancy between suites.
5) GAL-501 test in the galera_3nodes suite does not contain the
option "--bind-address=::" which is needed for the test to work
correctly with IPv6 (at least on some systems), since without
it the server will not wait for connections on the IPv6 interface.

SST script for mariabackup (wsrep_sst_mariabackup.sh) does reverse DNS to convert
the joiner's IP address to domain name, and this is not always a wanted feature.
It is not understood why this remote host DNS conversion is in the script,
in the first place, but conversion was originally added by commit:
commit 3d8aacba86

In this commit, REMOTEHOST variable is removed and replaced by REMOTEIP. All
references to joiner is therefore by IP address only.
