Bug #21785 "Server crashes after rename of the log table" and
Bug #21966 "Strange warnings on create like/repair of the log
tables"
According to the patch, from now on, one should use RENAME to
perform a log table rotation (this should also be reflected in
the manual).
Here is a sample:
use mysql;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS general_log2 LIKE general_log;
RENAME TABLE general_log TO general_log_backup, general_log2 TO general_log;
The rules for Rename of the log tables are following:
IF 1. Log tables are enabled
AND 2. Rename operates on the log table and nothing is being
renamed to the log table.
DO 3. Throw an error message.
ELSE 4. Perform rename.
The very RENAME query will go the the old (backup) table. This is
consistent with the behavoiur we have with binlog ROTATE LOGS
statement.
Other problems, which are solved by the patch are:
1) Now REPAIR of the log table is exclusive operation (as it should be), this
also eliminates lock-related warnings. and
2) CREATE LIKE TABLE now usese usual read lock on the source table rather
then name lock, which is too restrictive. This way we get rid of another
log table-related warning, which occured because of the above fact
(as a side-effect, name lock resulted in a warning).
from cache" and #21216 "Simultaneous DROP TABLE and SHOW OPEN TABLES causes
server to crash".
Crash happened when one ran DROP DATABASE or SHOW OPEN TABLES statements
while concurrently doing DROP TABLE (or RENAME TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE
or any other command that takes name-lock) in other connection.
This problem was caused by the fact that table placeholders which were
added to table cache in order to obtain name-lock on table had
TABLE_SHARE::db and table_name set to 0. Therefore they broke assumption
that these members are non-0 for all tables in table cache on which some
of our code relies.
The fix sets these members for such placeholders to appropriate value making
this assumption true again. As attempt to avoid such problems in future
we introduce auxiliary TABLE_SHARE::set_table_cache_key() methods which
should be used when one wants to set TABLE_SHARE::table_cache_key and which
ensure that TABLE_SHARE::table_name/db are set properly.
Test cases for these bugs were added to 5.0 test-suite (with 5.0-specific
fix for bug #21216).
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.
Replaced COND_refresh with COND_global_read_lock becasue of a bug in NTPL threads when using different mutexes as arguments to pthread_cond_wait()
The original code caused a hang in FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK in some circumstances because pthread_cond_broadcast() was not delivered to other threads.
This fixes:
Bug#16986: Deadlock condition with MyISAM tables
Bug#20048: FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK causes a deadlock
After a locking error the open table(s) were not fully
cleaned up for reuse. But they were put into the open table
cache even before the lock was tried. The next statement
reused the table(s) with a wrong lock type set up. This
tricked MyISAM into believing that it don't need to update
the table statistics. Hence CHECK TABLE reported a mismatch
of record count and table size.
Fortunately nothing worse has been detected yet. The effect
of the test case was that the insert worked on a read locked
table. (!)
I added a new function that clears the lock type from all
tables that were prepared for a lock. I call this function
when a lock failes.
No test case. One test would add 50 seconds to the
test suite. Another test requires file mode modifications.
I added a test script to the bug report. It contains three
cases for failing locks. All could reproduce a table
corruption. All are fixed by this patch.
This bug was not lock timeout specific.
Additional fix for INSERT DELAYED with subselect.
Originally detected in 5.1, but 5.0 could also be affected.
The user thread creates a dummy table object,
which is not included in the lock. The 'real' table is
opened and locked by the 'delayed' system thread.
The dummy object is now marked as not locked and this is
tested in mysql_lock_have_duplicate().
Added missing DBUG_xxx_RETURN statements
Fixed some usage of not initialized variables (as found by valgrind)
Ensure that we don't remove locked tables used as name locks from open table cache until unlock_table_names() are called.
This was fixed by having drop_locked_name() returning any table used as a name lock so that we can free it in unlock_table_names()
This will allow Tomas to continue with his work to use namelocks to syncronize things.
Note: valgrind still produces a lot of warnings about using not initialized code and shows memory loss errors when running the ndb tests
1. dbug state is now local to a thread
2. new macros: DBUG_EXPLAIN, DBUG_EXPLAIN_INITIAL,
DBUG_SET, DBUG_SET_INITIAL, DBUG_EVALUATE, DBUG_EVALUATE_IF
3. macros are do{}while(0) wrapped
4. incremental modifications to the dbug state (e.g. "+d,info:-t")
5. dbug code cleanup, style fixes
6. _db_on_ and DEBUGGER_ON/OFF removed
7. rest of MySQL code fixed because of 3 (missing ;) and 6
8. dbug manual updated
9. server variable @@debug (global and local) to control dbug from SQL!
a. -#T to print timestamps in the log
Optimised version of ADD/DROP/REORGANIZE partitions for
non-NDB storage engines.
New syntax to handle REBUILD/OPTIMIZE/ANALYZE/CHECK/REPAIR partitions
Quite a few bug fixes
when high concurrency": remove HASH::current_record and make it
an external search parameter, so that it can not be the cause of a
race condition under high concurrent load.
The bug was in a race condition in table_hash_search,
when column_priv_hash.current_record was overwritten simultaneously
by multiple threads, causing the search for a suitable grant record
to fail.
No test case as the bug is repeatable only under concurrent load.
Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT, Version for 5.1.
Extended the unique table check by a check of lock data.
Merge sub-tables cannot be detected by doing name checks only.
Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT, Version for 5.0.
Extended the unique table check by a check of lock data.
Merge sub-tables cannot be detected by doing name checks only.
Problem #1: INSERT...SELECT, Version for 4.1.
INSERT ... SELECT with the same table on both sides (hidden
below a MERGE table) does now work by buffering the select result.
The duplicate detection works now after open_and_lock_tables()
on the locks.
I did not find a test case that failed without the change in
sql_update.cc. I made the change anyway as it should in theory
fix a possible MERGE table problem with multi-table update.

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

(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.
Bug was introduced by cset 1.1659.14.1. Before it server was silently
ignoring that lock can't be acquired because it already acquired.
This patch makes make_global_read_lock_block_commit() return without error
if lock already acquired.
