PROBLEM:
mysql provides a feature where in a session which is
idle for a period specified by the wait_timeout variable
(whose value is in seconds), the session is closed
This feature is not present when we use thread pool.
FIX:
This patch implements the interface functions which is
required to implement the wait_timeout functionality
in the thread pool plugin.
'MAX_BINLOG_CACHE_SIZE' ERROR
Problem:
=======
MySQL returns following error in win64.
"ERROR 1197 (HY000): Multi-statement transaction required more than
'max_binlog_cache_size' bytes of storage; increase this mysqld variable
and try again" when user tries to load >4G file even if
max_binlog_cache_size set to maximum value. On Linux everything
works fine.
Analysis:
========
The `max_binlog_cache_size' variable is of type `ulonglong'. This
value is set to `ULONGLONG_MAX' at the time of server start up. The
above value is stored in an intermediate variable named
`saved_max_binlog_cache_size' which is of type `ulong'. In visual
c++ complier the `ulong' type is of 4bytes in size and hence the value
is getting truncated to '4GB' and the cache is not able to grow beyond
4GB size. The same limitation is observed with
"max_binlog_stmt_cache_size" as well. Similar fix has been applied.
Fix:
===
As part of fix the type "ulong" is replaced with "my_off_t" which is of
type "ulonglong".
"ORDER BY" AND "LIMIT BY" CLAUSE
PROBLEM:
When a 'limit' clause is specified in a query along with
group by and order by, optimizer chooses wrong index
there by examining more number of rows than required.
However without the 'limit' clause, optimizer chooses
the right index.
ANALYSIS:
With respect to the query specified, range optimizer chooses
the first index as there is a range present ( on 'a'). Optimizer
then checks for an index which would give records in sorted
order for the 'group by' clause.
While checking chooses the second index (on 'c,b,a') based on
the 'limit' specified and the selectivity of
'quick_condition_rows' (number of rows present in the range)
in 'test_if_skip_sort_order' function.
But, it fails to consider that an order by clause on a
different column will result in scanning the entire index and
hence the estimated number of rows calculated above are
wrong (which results in choosing the second index).
FIX:
Do not enforce the 'limit' clause in the call to
'test_if_skip_sort_order' if we are creating a temporary
table. Creation of temporary table indicates that there would be
more post-processing and hence will need all the rows.
This fix is backported from 5.6. This problem is fixed in 5.6 as
part of changes for work log #5558
RBR AND RC
Description: When scanning and locking rows with < or <=, InnoDB locks
the next row even though row based binary logging and read committed
is used.
Solution: In the handler, when the row is identified to fall outside
of the range (as specified in the query predicates), then request the
storage engine to unlock the row (if possible). This is done in
handler::read_range_first() and handler::read_range_next().
COUNT DISTINCT GROUP BY
PROBLEM:
To calculate the final result of the count(distinct(select 1))
we call 'end_send' function instead of 'end_send_group'.
'end_send' cannot be called if we have aggregate functions
that need to be evaluated.
ANALYSIS:
While evaluating for a possible loose_index_scan option for
the query, the variable 'is_agg_distinct' is set to 'false'
as the item in the distinct clause is not a field. But, we
choose loose_index_scan by not taking this into
consideration.
So, while setting the final 'select_function' to evaluate
the result, 'precomputed_group_by' is set to TRUE as in
this case loose_index_scan is chosen and we do not have
agg_distinct in the query (which is clearly wrong as we
have one).
As a result, 'end_send' function is chosen as the final
select_function instead of 'end_send_group'. The difference
between the two being, 'end_send_group' evaluates the
aggregates while 'end_send' does not. Hence the wrong result.
FIX:
The variable 'is_agg_distinct' always represents if
'loose_idnex_scan' can be chosen for aggregate_distinct
functions present in the select.
So, we check for this variable to continue with
loose_index_scan option.
primary key with innodb tables
The bug was triggered if a single ALTER TABLE statement both
added and dropped indexes and ALTER TABLE failed during drop
(e.g. because the index was needed in a foreign key constraint).
In such cases, the server index information would get out of
sync with InnoDB - the added index would be present inside
InnoDB, but not in the server. This could then lead to InnoDB
error messages and/or server crashes.
The root cause is that new indexes are added before old indexes
are dropped. This means that if ALTER TABLE fails while dropping
indexes, index changes will be reverted in the server but not
inside InnoDB.
This patch fixes the problem by dropping any added indexes
if drop fails (for ALTER TABLE statements that both adds
and drops indexes).
However, this won't work if we added a primary key as this
key might not be possible to drop inside InnoDB. Therefore,
we resort to the copy algorithm if a primary key is added
by an ALTER TABLE statement that also drops an index.
In 5.6 this bug is more properly fixed by the handler interface
changes done in the scope of WL#5534 "Online ALTER".
KEY UPDATES WITH A LIMIT OF 1
Problem: The unsafety warning for statements such as
update...limit1 where pk=1 are thrown when binlog-format
= STATEMENT,despite of the fact that such statements are
actually safe. this leads to filling up of the disk space
with false warnings.
Solution: This is not a complete fix for the problem, but
prevents the disks from getting filled up. This should
therefore be regarded as a workaround. In the future this
should be overriden by server general suppress/filtering
framework. It should also be noted that another worklog is
supposed to defeat this case's artificial unsafety.
We use a warning suppression mechanism to detect warning flood,
enable the suppression, and disable this when the average
warnings/second has reduced to acceptable limits.
Activation: The supression for LIMIT unsafe statements are
activated when the last 50 warnings were logged in less
than 50 seconds.
Supression: Once activated this supression will prevent the
individual warnings to be logged in the error log, but print
the warning for every 50 warnings with the note:
"The last warning was repeated N times in last S seconds"
Noteworthy is the fact that this supression works only on the
error logs and the warnings seen by the clients will remain as
it is (i.e. one warning/ unsafe statement)
Deactivation: The supression will be deactivated once the
average # of warnings/sec have gone down to the acceptable limits.
Problem:
=======
The return value from my_b_write is ignored by: `my_b_write_quoted',
`my_b_write_bit',`Query_log_event::print_query_header'
Most callers of `my_b_printf' ignore the return value. `log_event.cc'
has many calls to it.
Analysis:
========
`my_b_write' is used to write data into a file. If the write fails it
sets appropriate error number and error message through my_error()
function call and sets the IO_CACHE::error == -1.
`my_b_printf' function is also used to write data into a file, it
internally invokes my_b_write to do the write operation. Upon
success it returns number of characters written to file and on error
it returns -1 and sets the error through my_error() and also sets
IO_CACHE::error == -1. Most of the event specific print functions
for example `Create_file_log_event::print', `Execute_load_log_event::print'
etc are the ones which make several calls to the above two functions and
they do not check for the return value after the 'print' call. All the above
mentioned abuse cases deal with the client side.
Fix:
===
As part of bug fix a check for IO_CACHE::error == -1 has been added at
a very high level after the call to the 'print' function. There are
few more places where the return value of "my_b_write" is ignored
those are mentioned below.

Fixes for BUG11761686 left a flaw that managed to slip away from testing.
Only effective filtering branch was actually tested with a regression test
added to rpl_filter_tables_not_exist.
The reason of the failure is destuction of too early mem-root-allocated memory
at the end of the deferred User-var's do_apply_event().
Fixed with bypassing free_root() in the deferred execution branch.
Deallocation of created in do_apply_event() items is done by the base code
through THD::cleanup_after_query() -> free_items() that the parent Query
can't miss.

YEAR(x) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please use YEAR(4) instead
on "CREATE TABLE ... YEAR(x)" or "ALTER TABLE MODIFY ... YEAR(x)", where x != 4
Several fixes :
* sql-common/client.c
Added a validity check of the fields metadata packet sent
by the server.
Now libmysql will check if the length of the data sent by
the server matches what's expected by the protocol before
using the data.
* client/mysqltest.cc
Fixed the error handling code in mysqltest to avoid sending
new commands when the reading the result set failed (and
there are unread data in the pipe).
* sql_common.h + libmysql/libmysql.c + sql-common/client.c
unpack_fields() now generates a proper error when it fails.
Added a new argument to this function to support the error
generation.
* sql/protocol.cc
Added a debug trigger to cause the server to send a NULL
insted of the packet expected by the client for testing
purposes.
Introduction of cost based decision on filesort vs index for UPDATE
statements changed detection of the fact that the index used to scan the
table is being updated. The new design missed the case of index merge
when there is no single index to check. That was worked until a recent
change in InnoDB after which it went into infinite recursion if update of
the used index wasn't properly detected.
The fix consists of 'used key being updated' detection code from 5.1.
Problem: Some queries with subqueries and a HAVING clause that
consists only of a column not in the select or grouping lists causes
the server to crash.
During parsing, an Item_ref is constructed for the HAVING column. The
name of the column is resolved when JOIN::prepare calls fix_fields()
on its having clause. Since the column is not mentioned in the select
or grouping lists, a ref pointer is not found and a new Item_field is
created instead. The Item_ref is replaced by the Item_field in the
tree of HAVING clauses. Since the tree consists only of this item, the
pointer that is updated is JOIN::having. However,
st_select_lex::having still points to the Item_ref as the root of the
tree of HAVING clauses.
The bug is triggered when doing filesort for create_sort_index(). When
find_all_keys() calls select->cond->walk() it eventually reaches
Item_subselect::walk() where it continues to walk the having clauses
from lex->having. This means that it finds the Item_ref instead of the
new Item_field, and Item_ref::walk() tries to dereference the ref
pointer, which is still null.
The crash is reproducible only in 5.5, but the problem lies latent in
5.1 and trunk as well.
Fix: After calling fix_fields on the having clause in JOIN::prepare(),
set select_lex::having to point to the same item as JOIN::having.
This patch also fixes a bug in 5.1 and 5.5 that is triggered if the
query is executed as a prepared statement. The Item_field is created
in the runtime arena when the query is prepared, and the pointer to
the item is saved by st_select_lex::fix_prepare_information() and
brought back as a dangling pointer when the query is executed, after
the runtime arena has been reclaimed.
Fix: Backport fix from trunk that switches to the permanent arena
before calling Item_ref::fix_fields() in JOIN::prepare().
INC_HOST_ERRORS() IS CALLED.
Issue : Sequence of calling inc_host_errors()
and reset_host_errors() required some
changes in order to maintain correct
connection error count.
Solution : Call to reset_host_errors() is shifted
to a location after which no calls to
inc_host_errors() are made.
CRASHES INNODB | TRX_STATE_NOT_STARTED
The problem was that if DELETE with subselect caused a
deadlock inside InnoDB, this deadlock was not properly
handled by the SQL layer. This meant that the SQL layer
would try to unlock the row after InnoDB had rolled
back the transaction. This caused an assertion inside
InnoDB.
This patch fixes the problem by checking for errors
reported by SQL_SELECT::skip_record() and not calling
unlock_row() if any errors have been reported.
Problem
========
Replication breaks in the cases if the event length exceeds
the size of master Dump thread's max_allowed_packet.
The reason why this failure is occuring is because the event length is
more than the total size of the max_allowed_packet, on addition of the
max_event_header length exceeds the max_allowed_packet of the DUMP thread.
This causes the Dump thread to break replication and throw an error.
That can happen e.g with row-based replication in Update_rows event.
Fix
====
The problem is fixed in 2 steps:
1.) The Dump thread limit to read event is increased to the upper limit
i.e. Dump thread reads whatever gets logged in the binary log.
2.) On the slave side we increase the the max_allowed_packet for the
slave's threads (IO/SQL) by increasing it to 1GB.
This is done using the new server option (slave_max_allowed_packet)
included, is used to regulate the max_allowed_packet of the
slave thread (IO/SQL) by the DBA, and facilitates the sending of
large packets from the master to the slave.
This causes the large packets to be received by the slave and apply
it successfully.
WHEN KILLING
Suppose there is a query waiting for a lock. If the user kills
this query, then "Got error -1 when reading table" error message
must not be logged in the server log file. Since this is a user
requested interruption, no spurious error message must be logged
in the server log. This patch will remove the error message from
the log.

message:
Bug#13417754 ASSERT IN ROW_DROP_DATABASE_FOR_MYSQL DURING DROP SCHEMA
This assert could be triggered if an InnoDB table was being moved
to a different database using ALTER TABLE ... RENAME, while this
database concurrently was being dropped by DROP DATABASE.
The reason for the problem was that no metadata lock was taken
on the target database by ALTER TABLE ... RENAME.
DROP DATABASE was therefore not blocked and could remove
the database while ALTER TABLE ... RENAME was executing. This
could cause the assert in InnoDB to be triggered.
This patch fixes the problem by taking a IX metadata lock on
the target database before ALTER TABLE ... RENAME starts
moving a table to a different database.
Note that this problem did not occur with RENAME TABLE which
already takes the correct metadata locks.
Also note that this patch slightly changes the behavior of
ALTER TABLE ... RENAME. Before, the statement would abort and
return an error if a lock on the target table name could not
be taken immediately. With this patch, ALTER TABLE ... RENAME
will instead block and wait until the lock can be taken
(or until we get a lock timeout). This also means that it is
possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK errors in this situation
since we allow ALTER TABLE ... RENAME to wait and not just
abort immediately.
