This bug is actually two bugs in one, one of which is CREATE TRIGGER under
LOCK TABLES and the other is CREATE TRIGGER under LOCK TABLES simultaneous
to a FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK (global read lock). Both situations could
lead to a server crash or deadlock.
The first problem arises from the fact that when under LOCK TABLES, if the
table is in the set of locked tables, the table is already open and it doesn't
need to be reopened (not a placeholder). Also in this case, if the table is
not write locked, a exclusive lock can't be acquired because of a possible
deadlock with another thread also holding a (read) lock on the table. The
second issue arises from the fact that one should never wait for a global
read lock if it's holding any locked tables, because the global read lock
is waiting for these tables and this leads to a circular wait deadlock.
The solution for the first case is to check if the table is write locked
and upgraded the write lock to a exclusive lock and fail otherwise for non
write locked tables. Grabbin the exclusive lock in this case also means
to ensure that the table is opened only by the calling thread. The second
issue is partly fixed by not waiting for the global read lock if the thread
is holding any locked tables.
The second issue is only partly addressed in this patch because it turned
out to be much wider and also affects other DDL statements. Reported as
Bug#32395
The problem is that DROP TABLE and other DDL statements failed to
automatically close handlers associated with tables that were marked
for reopen (FLUSH TABLES).
The current implementation fails to properly discard handlers of
dropped tables (that were marked for reopen) because it searches
on the open handler tables list and using the current alias of the
table being dropped. The problem is that it must not use the open
handler tables list to search because the table might have been
closed (marked for reopen) by a flush tables command and also it
must not use the current table alias at all since multiple different
aliases may be associated with a single table. This is specially
visible when a user has two open handlers (using alias) of a same
table and a flush tables command is issued before the table is
dropped (see test case). Scanning the handler table list is also
useless for dropping handlers associated with temporary tables,
because temporary tables are not kept in the THD::handler_tables
list.
The solution is to simple scan the handlers hash table searching
for, and deleting all handlers with matching table names if the
reopen flag is not passed to the flush function, indicating that
the handlers should be deleted. All matching handlers are deleted
even if the associated the table is not open.
If a stored function that contains a drop temporary table statement
is invoked by a create temporary table of the same name may cause
a server crash. The problem is that when dropping a table no check
is done to ensure that table is not being used by some outer query
(or outer statement), potentially leaving the outer query with a
reference to a stale (freed) table.
The solution is when dropping a temporary table, always check if
the table is being used by some outer statement as a temporary
table can be dropped inside stored procedures.
The check is performed by looking at the TABLE::query_id value for
temporary tables. To simplify this check and to solve a bug related
to handling of temporary tables in prelocked mode, this patch changes
the way in which this member is used to track the fact that table is
used/unused. Now we ensure that TABLE::query_id is zero for unused
temporary tables (which means that all temporary tables which were
used by a statement should be marked as free for reuse after it's
execution has been completed).
If mysql_lock_tables fails because the lock was aborted, we need to
reset thd->some_tables_delete, otherwise we might loop indefinitely
because handler's tables are not closed in a standard way, meaning
that close_thread_tables() (which resets some_tables_deleted) is not
used.
This patch fixes sporadical failures of handler_myisam/innodb tests
which were introduced by previous fix for this bug.
This deadlock occurs when a client issues a HANDLER ... OPEN statement
that tries to open a table that has a pending name-lock on it by another
client that also needs a name-lock on some other table which is already
open and associated to a HANDLER instance owned by the first client.
The deadlock happens because the open_table() function will back-off
and wait until the name-lock goes away, causing a circular wait if some
other name-lock is also pending for one of the open HANDLER tables.
Such situation, for example, can be easily repeated by issuing a RENAME
TABLE command in such a way that the existing table is already open
as a HANDLER table by another client and this client tries to open
a HANDLER to the new table name.
The solution is to allow handler tables with older versions (marked for
flush) to be closed before waiting for the name-lock completion. This is
safe because no other name-lock can be issued between the flush and the
check for pending name-locks.
The test case for this bug is going to be committed into 5.1 because it
requires a test feature only avaiable in 5.1 (wait_condition).
This bug is a symptom of the way handler's tables are managed. The
most different aspect, compared to the conventional behavior, is that
the handler's tables are long lived, meaning that their lifetimes are
not bounded by the duration of the command that opened them. For this
effect the handler code uses its own list (handler_tables instead of
open_tables) to hold open handler tables so that the tables won't be
closed at the end of the command/statement. Besides the handler_tables
list, there is a hash (handler_tables_hash) which is used to associate
handler aliases to tables and to refresh the tables upon demand (flush
tables).
The current implementation doesn't work properly with refreshed tables
-- more precisely when flush commands are issued by other initiators.
This happens because when a handler open or read statement is being
processed, the associated table has to be opened or locked and, for this
matter, the open_tables and handler_tables lists are swapped so that the
new table being opened is inserted into the handler_tables list. But when
opening or locking the table, if the refresh version is different from the
thread refresh version then all used tables in the open_tables list (now
handler_tables) are refreshed. In the "refreshing" process the handler
tables are flushed (closed) without being properly unlinked from the
handler hash.
The current implementation also fails to properly discard handlers of
dropped tables, but this and other problems are going to be addressed
in the fixes for bugs 31397 and 31409.
The chosen approach tries to properly save and restore the table state
so that no table is flushed during the table open and lock operations.
The logic is almost the same as before with the list swapping, but with
a working glue code.
The test case for this bug is going to be committed into 5.1 because it
requires a test feature only avaiable in 5.1 (wait_condition).
If, after the tables are locked, one of the conditions to read from a
HANDLER table is not met, the handler code wrongly jumps to a error path
that won't unlock the tables.
The user-visible effect is that after a error in a handler read command,
all subsequent handler operations on the same table will hang.
The fix is simply to correct the code to jump to the (same) error path that
unlocks the tables.
mysql_ha_open calls mysql_ha_close on the error path (unsupported) to close the (opened) table before inserting it into the tables hash list handler_tables_hash) but mysql_ha_close only closes tables which are on the hash list, causing the table to be left open and locked.
This change moves the table close logic into a separate function that is always called on the error path of mysql_ha_open or on a normal handler close (mysql_ha_close).
mysql_ha_open calls mysql_ha_close on the error path (unsupported) to close the (opened) table before inserting it into the tables hash list handler_tables_hash) but mysql_ha_close only closes tables which are on the hash list, causing the table to be left open and locked.
This change moves the table close logic into a separate function that is always called on the error path of mysql_ha_open or on a normal handler close (mysql_ha_close).

Bug #20662 "Infinite loop in CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT
with locked tables"
Bug #20903 "Crash when using CREATE TABLE .. SELECT and triggers"
Bug #24738 "CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is not isolated properly"
Bug #24508 "Inconsistent results of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT when
temporary table exists"
Deadlock occured when one tried to execute CREATE TABLE IF NOT
EXISTS ... SELECT statement under LOCK TABLES which held
read lock on target table.
Attempt to execute the same statement for already existing
target table with triggers caused server crashes.
Also concurrent execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement
and other statements involving target table suffered from
various races (some of which might've led to deadlocks).
Finally, attempt to execute CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in case
when a temporary table with same name was already present
led to the insertion of data into this temporary table and
creation of empty non-temporary table.
All above problems stemmed from the old implementation of CREATE
TABLE ... SELECT in which we created, opened and locked target
table without any special protection in a separate step and not
with the rest of tables used by this statement.
This underminded deadlock-avoidance approach used in server
and created window for races. It also excluded target table
from prelocking causing problems with trigger execution.
The patch solves these problems by implementing new approach to
handling of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for base tables.
We try to open and lock table to be created at the same time as
the rest of tables used by this statement. If such table does not
exist at this moment we create and place in the table cache special
placeholder for it which prevents its creation or any other usage
by other threads.
We still use old approach for creation of temporary tables.
Note that we have separate fix for 5.0 since there we use slightly
different less intrusive approach.

Also note that we decided to postpone introduction of some tests
for concurrent behaviour of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT till 5.1.
The main reason for this is absence in 5.0 ability to set @@debug
variable at runtime, which can be circumvented only by using several
test files with individual .opt files. Since the latter is likely
to slowdown test-suite unnecessary we chose not to push this tests
into 5.0, but run them manually for this version and later push
their optimized version into 5.1
The following type conversions was done:
- Changed byte to uchar
- Changed gptr to uchar*
- Change my_string to char *
- Change my_size_t to size_t
- Change size_s to size_t
Removed declaration of byte, gptr, my_string, my_size_t and size_s.
Following function parameter changes was done:
- All string functions in mysys/strings was changed to use size_t
instead of uint for string lengths.
- All read()/write() functions changed to use size_t (including vio).
- All protocoll functions changed to use size_t instead of uint
- Functions that used a pointer to a string length was changed to use size_t*
- Changed malloc(), free() and related functions from using gptr to use void *
as this requires fewer casts in the code and is more in line with how the
standard functions work.
- Added extra length argument to dirname_part() to return the length of the
created string.
- Changed (at least) following functions to take uchar* as argument:
- db_dump()
- my_net_write()
- net_write_command()
- net_store_data()
- DBUG_DUMP()
- decimal2bin() & bin2decimal()
- Changed my_compress() and my_uncompress() to use size_t. Changed one
argument to my_uncompress() from a pointer to a value as we only return
one value (makes function easier to use).
- Changed type of 'pack_data' argument to packfrm() to avoid casts.
- Changed in readfrm() and writefrom(), ha_discover and handler::discover()
the type for argument 'frmdata' to uchar** to avoid casts.
- Changed most Field functions to use uchar* instead of char* (reduced a lot of
casts).
- Changed field->val_xxx(xxx, new_ptr) to take const pointers.
Other changes:
- Removed a lot of not needed casts
- Added a few new cast required by other changes
- Added some cast to my_multi_malloc() arguments for safety (as string lengths
needs to be uint, not size_t).
- Fixed all calls to hash-get-key functions to use size_t*. (Needed to be done
explicitely as this conflict was often hided by casting the function to
hash_get_key).
- Changed some buffers to memory regions to uchar* to avoid casts.
- Changed some string lengths from uint to size_t.
- Changed field->ptr to be uchar* instead of char*. This allowed us to
get rid of a lot of casts.
- Some changes from true -> TRUE, false -> FALSE, unsigned char -> uchar
- Include zlib.h in some files as we needed declaration of crc32()
- Changed MY_FILE_ERROR to be (size_t) -1.
- Changed many variables to hold the result of my_read() / my_write() to be
size_t. This was needed to properly detect errors (which are
returned as (size_t) -1).
- Removed some very old VMS code
- Changed packfrm()/unpackfrm() to not be depending on uint size
(portability fix)
- Removed windows specific code to restore cursor position as this
causes slowdown on windows and we should not mix read() and pread()
calls anyway as this is not thread safe. Updated function comment to
reflect this. Changed function that depended on original behavior of
my_pwrite() to itself restore the cursor position (one such case).
- Added some missing checking of return value of malloc().
- Changed definition of MOD_PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH to avoid 'long' overflow.
- Changed type of table_def::m_size from my_size_t to ulong to reflect that
m_size is the number of elements in the array, not a string/memory
length.
- Moved THD::max_row_length() to table.cc (as it's not depending on THD).
Inlined max_row_length_blob() into this function.
- More function comments
- Fixed some compiler warnings when compiled without partitions.
- Removed setting of LEX_STRING() arguments in declaration (portability fix).
- Some trivial indentation/variable name changes.
- Some trivial code simplifications:
- Replaced some calls to alloc_root + memcpy to use
strmake_root()/strdup_root().
- Changed some calls from memdup() to strmake() (Safety fix)
- Simpler loops in client-simple.c
index_read(), index_read_idx(), index_read_last(), and
records_in_range() - instead of 'uint keylen' argument take
'ulonglong keypart_map', a bitmap showing which keyparts are
present in the key value.
Fallback method is provided for handlers that are lagging behind.
Fixed compiler warnings (detected by VC++):
- Removed not used variables
- Added casts
- Fixed wrong assignments to bool
- Fixed wrong calls with bool arguments
- Added missing argument to store(longlong), which caused wrong store method to be called.
Problems (appear only under some circumstances):
1. we get a reference to a deleted table searching in the
thd->handler_tables_hash in the mysql_ha_read().
2. DBUG_ASSERT(table->file->inited == handler::NONE); assert fails in the
close_thread_table().
Fix: end open index scans and table scans and remove references to the
tables from the handler tables hash. After this preparation it is safe
to close the tables. The close can no longer fail on open index/table
scans and the closed table will not be used again by handler functions.
Added missing DBUG_RETURN statements (in mysqldump.c)
Added missing enums
Fixed a lot of wrong DBUG_PRINT() statements, some of which could cause crashes
Removed usage of %lld and %p in printf strings as these are not portable or produces different results on different systems.
Addendum fixes after changing the condition variable
for the global read lock.
The stress test suite revealed some deadlocks. Some were
related to the new condition variable (COND_global_read_lock)
and some were general problems with the global read lock.
It is now necessary to signal COND_global_read_lock whenever
COND_refresh is signalled.
We need to wait for the release of a global read lock if one
is set before every operation that requires a write lock.
But we must not wait if we have locked tables by LOCK TABLES.
After setting a global read lock a thread waits until all
write locks are released.
Changes that requires code changes in other code of other storage engines.
(Note that all changes are very straightforward and one should find all issues
by compiling a --debug build and fixing all compiler errors and all
asserts in field.cc while running the test suite),
- New optional handler function introduced: reset()
This is called after every DML statement to make it easy for a handler to
statement specific cleanups.
(The only case it's not called is if force the file to be closed)
- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RESET) is removed. Code that was there before
should be moved to handler::reset()
- table->read_set contains a bitmap over all columns that are needed
in the query. read_row() and similar functions only needs to read these
columns
- table->write_set contains a bitmap over all columns that will be updated
in the query. write_row() and update_row() only needs to update these
columns.
The above bitmaps should now be up to date in all context
(including ALTER TABLE, filesort()).
The handler is informed of any changes to the bitmap after
fix_fields() by calling the virtual function
handler::column_bitmaps_signal(). If the handler does caching of
these bitmaps (instead of using table->read_set, table->write_set),
it should redo the caching in this code. as the signal() may be sent
several times, it's probably best to set a variable in the signal
and redo the caching on read_row() / write_row() if the variable was
set.
- Removed the read_set and write_set bitmap objects from the handler class
- Removed all column bit handling functions from the handler class.
(Now one instead uses the normal bitmap functions in my_bitmap.c instead
of handler dedicated bitmap functions)
- field->query_id is removed. One should instead instead check
table->read_set and table->write_set if a field is used in the query.
- handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIVE_ALL_COLS) and
handler::extra(HA_EXTRA_RETRIEVE_PRIMARY_KEY) are removed. One should now
instead use table->read_set to check for which columns to retrieve.
- If a handler needs to call Field->val() or Field->store() on columns
that are not used in the query, one should install a temporary
all-columns-used map while doing so. For this, we provide the following
functions:
my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->read_set);
field->val();
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->read_set, old_map);
and similar for the write map:
my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->write_set);
field->val();
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->write_set, old_map);
If this is not done, you will sooner or later hit a DBUG_ASSERT
in the field store() / val() functions.
(For not DBUG binaries, the dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() and
dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() are inline dummy functions and should
be optimized away be the compiler).
- If one needs to temporary set the column map for all binaries (and not
just to avoid the DBUG_ASSERT() in the Field::store() / Field::val()
methods) one should use the functions tmp_use_all_columns() and
tmp_restore_column_map() instead of the above dbug_ variants.
- All 'status' fields in the handler base class (like records,
data_file_length etc) are now stored in a 'stats' struct. This makes
it easier to know what status variables are provided by the base
handler. This requires some trivial variable names in the extra()
function.
- New virtual function handler::records(). This is called to optimize
COUNT(*) if (handler::table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS()) is true.
(stats.records is not supposed to be an exact value. It's only has to
be 'reasonable enough' for the optimizer to be able to choose a good
optimization path).
- Non virtual handler::init() function added for caching of virtual
constants from engine.
- Removed has_transactions() virtual method. Now one should instead return
HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS in table_flags() if the table handler DOES NOT support
transactions.
- The 'xxxx_create_handler()' function now has a MEM_ROOT_root argument
that is to be used with 'new handler_name()' to allocate the handler
in the right area. The xxxx_create_handler() function is also
responsible for any initialization of the object before returning.
For example, one should change:
static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table)
{
return new ha_myisam(table);
}
->
static handler *myisam_create_handler(TABLE_SHARE *table, MEM_ROOT *mem_root)
{
return new (mem_root) ha_myisam(table);
}
- New optional virtual function: use_hidden_primary_key().
This is called in case of an update/delete when
(table_flags() and HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE) is defined
but we don't have a primary key. This allows the handler to take precisions
in remembering any hidden primary key to able to update/delete any
found row. The default handler marks all columns to be read.
- handler::table_flags() now returns a ulonglong (to allow for more flags).
- New/changed table_flags()
- HA_HAS_RECORDS Set if ::records() is supported
- HA_NO_TRANSACTIONS Set if engine doesn't support transactions
- HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_DELETE
Set if we should mark all primary key columns for
read when reading rows as part of a DELETE
statement. If there is no primary key,
all columns are marked for read.
- HA_PARTIAL_COLUMN_READ Set if engine will not read all columns in some
cases (based on table->read_set)
- HA_PRIMARY_KEY_ALLOW_RANDOM_ACCESS
Renamed to HA_PRIMARY_KEY_REQUIRED_FOR_POSITION.
- HA_DUPP_POS Renamed to HA_DUPLICATE_POS
- HA_REQUIRES_KEY_COLUMNS_FOR_DELETE
Set this if we should mark ALL key columns for
read when when reading rows as part of a DELETE
statement. In case of an update we will mark
all keys for read for which key part changed
value.
- HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT
Set this if stats.records is exact.
(This saves us some extra records() calls
when optimizing COUNT(*))
- Removed table_flags()
- HA_NOT_EXACT_COUNT Now one should instead use HA_HAS_RECORDS if
handler::records() gives an exact count() and
HA_STATS_RECORDS_IS_EXACT if stats.records is exact.
- HA_READ_RND_SAME Removed (no one supported this one)
- Removed not needed functions ha_retrieve_all_cols() and ha_retrieve_all_pk()
- Renamed handler::dupp_pos to handler::dup_pos
- Removed not used variable handler::sortkey
Upper level handler changes:
- ha_reset() now does some overall checks and calls ::reset()
- ha_table_flags() added. This is a cached version of table_flags(). The
cache is updated on engine creation time and updated on open.
MySQL level changes (not obvious from the above):
- DBUG_ASSERT() added to check that column usage matches what is set
in the column usage bit maps. (This found a LOT of bugs in current
column marking code).
- In 5.1 before, all used columns was marked in read_set and only updated
columns was marked in write_set. Now we only mark columns for which we
need a value in read_set.
- Column bitmaps are created in open_binary_frm() and open_table_from_share().
(Before this was in table.cc)
- handler::table_flags() calls are replaced with handler::ha_table_flags()
- For calling field->val() you must have the corresponding bit set in
table->read_set. For calling field->store() you must have the
corresponding bit set in table->write_set. (There are asserts in
all store()/val() functions to catch wrong usage)
- thd->set_query_id is renamed to thd->mark_used_columns and instead
of setting this to an integer value, this has now the values:
MARK_COLUMNS_NONE, MARK_COLUMNS_READ, MARK_COLUMNS_WRITE
Changed also all variables named 'set_query_id' to mark_used_columns.
- In filesort() we now inform the handler of exactly which columns are needed
doing the sort and choosing the rows.
- The TABLE_SHARE object has a 'all_set' column bitmap one can use
when one needs a column bitmap with all columns set.
(This is used for table->use_all_columns() and other places)
- The TABLE object has 3 column bitmaps:
- def_read_set Default bitmap for columns to be read
- def_write_set Default bitmap for columns to be written
- tmp_set Can be used as a temporary bitmap when needed.
The table object has also two pointer to bitmaps read_set and write_set
that the handler should use to find out which columns are used in which way.
- count() optimization now calls handler::records() instead of using
handler->stats.records (if (table_flags() & HA_HAS_RECORDS) is true).
- Added extra argument to Item::walk() to indicate if we should also
traverse sub queries.
- Added TABLE parameter to cp_buffer_from_ref()
- Don't close tables created with CREATE ... SELECT but keep them in
the table cache. (Faster usage of newly created tables).
New interfaces:
- table->clear_column_bitmaps() to initialize the bitmaps for tables
at start of new statements.
- table->column_bitmaps_set() to set up new column bitmaps and signal
the handler about this.
- table->column_bitmaps_set_no_signal() for some few cases where we need
to setup new column bitmaps but don't signal the handler (as the handler
has already been signaled about these before). Used for the momement
only in opt_range.cc when doing ROR scans.
- table->use_all_columns() to install a bitmap where all columns are marked
as use in the read and the write set.
- table->default_column_bitmaps() to install the normal read and write
column bitmaps, but not signaling the handler about this.
This is mainly used when creating TABLE instances.
- table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete(),
table->mark_columns_needed_for_delete() and
table->mark_columns_needed_for_insert() to allow us to put additional
columns in column usage maps if handler so requires.
(The handler indicates what it neads in handler->table_flags())
- table->prepare_for_position() to allow us to tell handler that it
needs to read primary key parts to be able to store them in
future table->position() calls.
(This replaces the table->file->ha_retrieve_all_pk function)
- table->mark_auto_increment_column() to tell handler are going to update
columns part of any auto_increment key.
- table->mark_columns_used_by_index() to mark all columns that is part of
an index. It will also send extra(HA_EXTRA_KEYREAD) to handler to allow
it to quickly know that it only needs to read colums that are part
of the key. (The handler can also use the column map for detecting this,
but simpler/faster handler can just monitor the extra() call).
- table->mark_columns_used_by_index_no_reset() to in addition to other columns,
also mark all columns that is used by the given key.
- table->restore_column_maps_after_mark_index() to restore to default
column maps after a call to table->mark_columns_used_by_index().
- New item function register_field_in_read_map(), for marking used columns
in table->read_map. Used by filesort() to mark all used columns
- Maintain in TABLE->merge_keys set of all keys that are used in query.
(Simplices some optimization loops)
- Maintain Field->part_of_key_not_clustered which is like Field->part_of_key
but the field in the clustered key is not assumed to be part of all index.
(used in opt_range.cc for faster loops)
- dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(), dbug_tmp_restore_column_map()
tmp_use_all_columns() and tmp_restore_column_map() functions to temporally
mark all columns as usable. The 'dbug_' version is primarily intended
inside a handler when it wants to just call Field:store() & Field::val()
functions, but don't need the column maps set for any other usage.
(ie:: bitmap_is_set() is never called)
- We can't use compare_records() to skip updates for handlers that returns
a partial column set and the read_set doesn't cover all columns in the
write set. The reason for this is that if we have a column marked only for
write we can't in the MySQL level know if the value changed or not.
The reason this worked before was that MySQL marked all to be written
columns as also to be read. The new 'optimal' bitmaps exposed this 'hidden
bug'.
- open_table_from_share() does not anymore setup temporary MEM_ROOT
object as a thread specific variable for the handler. Instead we
send the to-be-used MEMROOT to get_new_handler().
(Simpler, faster code)
Bugs fixed:
- Column marking was not done correctly in a lot of cases.
(ALTER TABLE, when using triggers, auto_increment fields etc)
(Could potentially result in wrong values inserted in table handlers
relying on that the old column maps or field->set_query_id was correct)
Especially when it comes to triggers, there may be cases where the
old code would cause lost/wrong values for NDB and/or InnoDB tables.
- Split thd->options flag OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE to two flags:
OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE and OPTION_KEEP_LOG.
This allowed me to remove some wrong warnings about:
"Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back"
- Fixed handling of INSERT .. SELECT and CREATE ... SELECT that wrongly reset
(thd->options & OPTION_STATUS_NO_TRANS_UPDATE) which caused us to loose
some warnings about
"Some non-transactional changed tables couldn't be rolled back")
- Fixed use of uninitialized memory in ha_ndbcluster.cc::delete_table()
which could cause delete_table to report random failures.
- Fixed core dumps for some tests when running with --debug
- Added missing FN_LIBCHAR in mysql_rm_tmp_tables()
(This has probably caused us to not properly remove temporary files after
crash)
- slow_logs was not properly initialized, which could maybe cause
extra/lost entries in slow log.
- If we get an duplicate row on insert, change column map to read and
write all columns while retrying the operation. This is required by
the definition of REPLACE and also ensures that fields that are only
part of UPDATE are properly handled. This fixed a bug in NDB and
REPLACE where REPLACE wrongly copied some column values from the replaced
row.
- For table handler that doesn't support NULL in keys, we would give an error
when creating a primary key with NULL fields, even after the fields has been
automaticly converted to NOT NULL.
- Creating a primary key on a SPATIAL key, would fail if field was not
declared as NOT NULL.
Cleanups:
- Removed not used condition argument to setup_tables
- Removed not needed item function reset_query_id_processor().
- Field->add_index is removed. Now this is instead maintained in
(field->flags & FIELD_IN_ADD_INDEX)
- Field->fieldnr is removed (use field->field_index instead)
- New argument to filesort() to indicate that it should return a set of
row pointers (not used columns). This allowed me to remove some references
to sql_command in filesort and should also enable us to return column
results in some cases where we couldn't before.
- Changed column bitmap handling in opt_range.cc to be aligned with TABLE
bitmap, which allowed me to use bitmap functions instead of looping over
all fields to create some needed bitmaps. (Faster and smaller code)
- Broke up found too long lines
- Moved some variable declaration at start of function for better code
readability.
- Removed some not used arguments from functions.
(setup_fields(), mysql_prepare_insert_check_table())
- setup_fields() now takes an enum instead of an int for marking columns
usage.
- For internal temporary tables, use handler::write_row(),
handler::delete_row() and handler::update_row() instead of
handler::ha_xxxx() for faster execution.
- Changed some constants to enum's and define's.
- Using separate column read and write sets allows for easier checking
of timestamp field was set by statement.
- Remove calls to free_io_cache() as this is now done automaticly in ha_reset()
- Don't build table->normalized_path as this is now identical to table->path
(after bar's fixes to convert filenames)
- Fixed some missed DBUG_PRINT(.."%lx") to use "0x%lx" to make it easier to
do comparision with the 'convert-dbug-for-diff' tool.
Things left to do in 5.1:
- We wrongly log failed CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in some cases when using
row based logging (as shown by testcase binlog_row_mix_innodb_myisam.result)
Mats has promised to look into this.
- Test that my fix for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is indeed correct.
(I added several test cases for this, but in this case it's better that
someone else also tests this throughly).
Lars has promosed to do this.
Remove wrong fix for Bug#14397 - OPTIMIZE TABLE with an open HANDLER causes a crash
Safety fix for bug #13855 "select distinct with group by caused server crash"
- Fixed tests
- Optimized new code
- Fixed some unlikely core dumps
- Better bug fixes for:
- #14397 - OPTIMIZE TABLE with an open HANDLER causes a crash
- #14850 (ERROR 1062 when a quering a view using a Group By on a column that can be null
The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
object and open a handler to the table object
Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it
- For a busy system this change will give you:
- Less memory usage for table object
- Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
- Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
- Faster drop of table
into mysql.com:/home/mysql_src/mysql-5.1-merge-of-5.0
(2nd try; Pekka kindly accepted to fix storage/ndb/src/kernel/blocks/dbtup/DbtupRoutines.cpp
and storage/ndb/src/kernel/vm/SimulatedBlock.cpp after I push).
Version for 5.0.
It fixes three problems:
1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
for this problem "the primary bug fix".
2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
Though the function comment clearly said it must.
I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".
3. In 5.0 (not in 4.1 or 4.0) DROP TABLE had a possible deadlock flaw in
concur with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. I call the fix for this
problem "the 5.0 addendum fix".

This bug occurs when some trigger for table used by DML statement is created
or changed while statement was waiting in lock_tables(). In this situation
prelocking set which we have calculated becames invalid which can easily lead
to errors and even in some cases to crashes.
With proposed patch we no longer silently reopen tables in lock_tables(),
instead caller of lock_tables() becomes responsible for reopening tables and
recalculation of prelocking set.
result set".
To enable full access to contents of I_S tables from stored functions
or statements that use them, we manipulate with thread's open tables
state and ensure that we won't cause deadlock when we open tables by
ignoring flushes and name-locks.
Building of contents of I_S.TABLES no longer requires locking of tables
since we use use handler::info() method with HA_STATUS_AUTO flag instead
of handler::update_auto_increment() for obtaining information about
auto-increment values. But this also means that handlers have to implement
support for HA_STATUS_AUTO flag (particularly InnoDB needs it).
error for LIMIT placeholder".
The patch adds grammar support for LIMIT ?, ? and changes the
type of ST_SELECT_LEX::select_limit,offset_limit from ha_rows to Item*,
so that it can point to Item_param.
1.) Added a new option to mysql_lock_tables() for ignoring FLUSH TABLES.
Used the new option in create_table_from_items().
It is necessary to prevent the SELECT table from being reopend.
It would get new storage assigned for its fields, while the
SELECT part of the command would still use the old (freed) storage.
2.) Protected the CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE ... SELECT commands
against a global read lock. This prevents a deadlock in
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT in conjunction with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
and avoids the creation of new tables during a global read lock.
3.) Replaced set_protect_against_global_read_lock() and
unset_protect_against_global_read_lock() by
wait_if_global_read_lock() and start_waiting_global_read_lock()
in the INSERT DELAYED handling.
and some SP-related cleanups.
- We don't have separate stage for calculation of list of tables
to be prelocked and doing implicit LOCK/UNLOCK any more.
Instead we calculate this list at open_tables() and do implicit
LOCK in lock_tables() (and UNLOCK in close_thread_tables()).
Also now we support cases when same table (with same alias) is
used several times in the same query in SP.
- Cleaned up execution of SP. Moved all common code which handles
LEX and does preparations before statement execution or complex
expression evaluation to auxilary sp_lex_keeper class. Now
all statements in SP (and corresponding instructions) that
evaluate expression which can contain subquery have their
own LEX.
Split TABLE to TABLE and TABLE_SHARE (TABLE_SHARE is still allocated as part of table, will be fixed soon)
Created Field::make_field() and made Field_num::make_field() to call this
Added 'TABLE_SHARE->db' that points to database name; Changed all usage of table_cache_key as database name to use this instead
Changed field->table_name to point to pointer to alias. This allows us to change alias for a table by just updating one pointer.
Renamed TABLE_SHARE->real_name to table_name
Renamed TABLE->table_name to alias
Renamed TABLE_LIST->real_name to table_name
FOUND is not a reserved keyword anymore
Added Item_field::set_no_const_sub() to be able to mark fields that can't be substituted
Added 'simple_select' method to be able to quickly determinate if a select_result is a normal SELECT
Note that the 5.0 tree is not yet up to date: Sanja will have to fix multi-update-locks for this merge to be complete
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Fixed problems detected on Windows build by VC++.
Removed unused variables.
Applied a neccessary cast.
BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Reworked the HANDLER functions and interface.
Using a HASH to store information on open tables that
survives FLUSH TABLE.
HANDLER tables alias names must now be unique, though it
is allowed in 4.0 to qualify them with the database name
of the base table.
- client side part is simple and may be considered stable
- server side part now just joggles with THD state to save execution
state and has no additional locking wisdom.
Lot's of it are to be rewritten.
Note: The following tests fails
- fulltext (Sergei has promised to fix)
- rpl_charset (Guilhem should fix)
- rpl_timezone (Dimitray has promised to fix)
Sanja needs to check out the calling of close_thread_tables() in sp_head.cc
