tables".
Attempting to issue an INSERT DELAYED statement for a MERGE
table might have caused a deadlock if it happened as part of
a transaction or under LOCK TABLES, and there was a concurrent
DDL or LOCK TABLES ... WRITE statement which tried to lock one
of its underlying tables.
The problem occurred when a delayed insert handler thread tried
to open a MERGE table and discovered that to do this it had also
to open all underlying tables and hence acquire metadata
locks on them. Since metadata locks on the underlying tables were
not pre-acquired by the connection thread executing INSERT DELAYED,
attempts to do so might lead to waiting. In this case the
connection thread had to wait for the delayed insert thread.
If the thread which was preventing the lock on the underlying table
from being acquired had to wait for the connection thread (due to
this or other metadata locks), a deadlock occurred.
This deadlock was not detected by the MDL deadlock detector since
waiting for the handler thread by the connection thread is not
represented in the wait-for graph.
This patch solves the problem by ensuring that the delayed
insert handler thread never tries to open underlying tables
of a MERGE table. Instead open_tables() is aborted right after
the parent table is opened and a ER_DELAYED_NOT_SUPPORTED
error is emitted (which is passed to the connection thread and
ultimately to the user).
table causes assert failure".
Attempting to use FLUSH TABLE table_list WITH READ LOCK
statement for a MERGE table led to an assertion failure if
one of its children was not present in the list of tables
to be flushed. The problem was not visible in non-debug builds.
The assertion failure was caused by the fact that in such
situations FLUSH TABLES table_list WITH READ LOCK implementation
tried to use (e.g. lock) such child tables without acquiring
metadata lock on them. This happened because when opening tables
we assumed metadata locks on all tables were already acquired
earlier during statement execution and a such assumption was
false for MERGE children.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring at open_tables() time
that we try to acquire metadata locks on all tables to be opened.
For normal tables such requests are satisfied instantly since
locks are already acquired for them. For MERGE children metadata
locks are acquired in normal fashion.
Note that FLUSH TABLES merge_table WITH READ LOCK will lock for
read both the MERGE table and its children but will flush only
the MERGE table. To flush children one has to mention them in table
list explicitly. This is expected behavior and it is consistent with
usage patterns for this statement (e.g. in mysqlhotcopy script).
MDL deadlock detector".
Deadlock could have occurred when workload containing mix
of DML, DDL and FLUSH TABLES statements affecting same
set of tables was executed in heavily concurrent environment.
This deadlock occurred when several connections tried to
perform deadlock detection in metadata locking subsystem.
The first connection started traversing wait-for graph,
encountered sub-graph representing wait for flush, acquired
LOCK_open and dived into sub-graph inspection. When it has
encounterd sub-graph corresponding to wait for metadata lock
and blocked while trying to acquire rd-lock on
MDL_lock::m_rwlock (*) protecting this subgraph, since some
other thread had wr-lock on it. When this wr-lock was released
it could have happened (if there was other pending wr-lock
against this rwlock) that rd-lock from the first connection
was left unsatisfied but at the same time new rd-lock request
from the second connection sneaked in and was satisfied (for
this to be possible second rd- request should come exactly
after wr-lock is released but before pending wr-lock manages
to grab rwlock, which is possible both on Linux and in our
own rwlock implementation). If this second connection
continued traversing wait-for graph and encountered sub-graph
representing wait for flush it tried to acquire LOCK_open
and thus deadlock was created.
This patch tries to workaround this problem but not allowing
deadlock detector to lock LOCK_open mutex if some other thread
doing deadlock detection already owns it and current search
depth is greater than 0. Instead deadlock is reported.
Other possible solutions are either known to have negative
effects on performance or require much more time for proper
implementation and testing.
No test case is provided as this bug is very hard to repeat
in MTR environment but is repeatable with the help of RQG
tests.

Rename open_temporary_table() to open_table_uncached().
open_temporary_table() will be introduced in following patches

Move a piece of code that initialiazes TABLE instance
after it was successfully opened into a separate function.
This function will be reused in the following patches.
on CREATE TABLE .. SELECT I_S.PART
This assert was triggered if an InnoDB table was created using
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT where the query used an I_S table, and
a view existed in the database. It would also be triggered for
any statement changing an InnoDB table (e.g. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
which had a subquery referencing an I_S table.
The assert was triggered if open_normal_and_derived_tables() failed
and a statement transaction had been started. This will usually not
happen as tables are opened before a statement transaction is started.
However, e.g. CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT starts a transaction in order
to insert tuples into the new table. And if the subquery references
an I_S table, all current tables and views can be opened in order to
fill the I_S table on the fly. If a view is discovered, open will fail
as it is instructed to open tables only (OPEN_TABLE_ONLY). This would
cause the assert to be triggered.
The assert was added in the patch for Bug#52044 and was therefore
not in any released versions of the server.
This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the assert to take into
consideration the possibility of tables being opened as part of
an I_S query. This is similar to what is already done for
close_tables_for_reopen().
Test case added to information_schema_inno.test.
temp table
This patch introduces two key changes in the replication's behavior.
Firstly, it reverts part of BUG#51894 which puts any update to temporary tables
into the trx-cache. Now, updates to temporary tables are handled according to
the type of their engines as a regular table.
Secondly, an unsafe mixed statement, (i.e. a statement that access transactional
table as well non-transactional or temporary table, and writes to any of them),
are written into the trx-cache in order to minimize errors in the execution when
the statement logging format is in use.
Such changes has a direct impact on which statements are classified as unsafe
statements and thus part of BUG#53259 is reverted.
check_if_table_exists()
This assert was triggered when the server tried to load plugins
while running in embedded server mode. In embedded server mode,
check_if_table_exists() was used to check if mysql.plugin existed
so that ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE could be silently ignored.
The problem was that this check was done without acquiring a metadata
lock on mysql.plugin first. This triggered the assert.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the call to
check_if_table_exists() from plugin_load(). Instead an error handler
which traps ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE is installed before trying to open
mysql.plugin when running in embedded server mode.
No test coverage added since this assert was triggered by
existing tests running in embedded server mode.
'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' behaviour
BUG#47132, BUG#47442, BUG49494, BUG#23992 and BUG#48814 will disappear
automatically after the this patch.
BUG#55617 is fixed by this patch too.
This is the 5.5 part.
It implements:
- 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT' statement will not insert
anything and binlog anything if the table already exists.
It only generate a warning that table already exists.
- A couple of test cases for the behavior changing.

Bug#53770: Server crash at handler.cc:2076 on
LOAD DATA after timed out COALESCE PARTITION
5.5 fix for:
Bug#51042: REORGANIZE PARTITION can leave table in an

Needs to be back-ported to 5.1
5.5 fix for:
Bug#50418: DROP PARTITION does not interact with
transactions
Main problem was non-persistent operations done
before meta-data lock was taken (53770+53676).
And 53676 needed to keep the table/partitions opened and locked
while copying the data to the new partitions.
Also added thorough tests to spot some additional bugs
in the ddl_log code, which could result in bad state
between the .frm and partitions.
Collapsed patch, includes all fixes required from the reviewers.
Remove acquisition of LOCK_open around file system operations,
since such operations are now protected by metadata locks.
Rework table discovery algorithm to not require LOCK_open.
No new tests added since all MDL locking operations are covered
in lock.test and mdl_sync.test, and as long as these tests
pass despite the increased concurrency, consistency must be
unaffected.
FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompatible" to
be pushed as separate patch.
Replaced thread state name "Waiting for table", which was
used by threads waiting for a metadata lock or table flush,
with a set of names which better reflect types of resources
being waited for.
Also replaced "Table lock" thread state name, which was used
by threads waiting on thr_lock.c table level lock, with more
elaborate "Waiting for table level lock", to make it
more consistent with other thread state names.
Updated test cases and their results according to these
changes.
Fixed sys_vars.query_cache_wlock_invalidate_func test to not
to wait for timeout of wait_condition.inc script.
TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are incompatible".
The problem was that FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK
which was issued when other connection has acquired global
read lock using FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK was blocked
and has to wait until global read lock is released.
This issue stemmed from the fact that FLUSH TABLES <list>
WITH READ LOCK implementation has acquired X metadata locks
on tables to be flushed. Since these locks required acquiring
of global IX lock this statement was incompatible with global
read lock.
This patch addresses problem by using SNW metadata type of
lock for tables to be flushed by FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH
READ LOCK. It is OK to acquire them without global IX lock
as long as we won't try to upgrade those locks. Since SNW
locks allow concurrent statements using same table FLUSH
TABLE <list> WITH READ LOCK now has to wait until old
versions of tables to be flushed go away after acquiring
metadata locks. Since such waiting can lead to deadlock
MDL deadlock detector was extended to take into account
waits for flush and resolve such deadlocks.
As a bonus code in open_tables() which was responsible for
waiting old versions of tables to go away was refactored.
Now when we encounter old version of table in open_table()
we don't back-off and wait for all old version to go away,
but instead wait for this particular table to be flushed.
Such approach supported by deadlock detection should reduce
number of scenarios in which FLUSH TABLES aborts concurrent
multi-statement transactions.
Note that active FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK still
blocks concurrent FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK statement
as the former keeps tables open and thus prevents the
latter statement from doing flush.
This patch also fixes Bug#55452 "SET PASSWORD is
replicated twice in RBR mode".
The goal of this patch is to remove the release of
metadata locks from close_thread_tables().
This is necessary to not mistakenly release
the locks in the course of a multi-step
operation that involves multiple close_thread_tables()
or close_tables_for_reopen().
On the same token, move statement commit outside
close_thread_tables().
Other cleanups:
Cleanup COM_FIELD_LIST.
Don't call close_thread_tables() in COM_SHUTDOWN -- there
are no open tables there that can be closed (we leave
the locked tables mode in THD destructor, and this
close_thread_tables() won't leave it anyway).
Make open_and_lock_tables() and open_and_lock_tables_derived()
call close_thread_tables() upon failure.
Remove the calls to close_thread_tables() that are now
unnecessary.
Simplify the back off condition in Open_table_context.
Streamline metadata lock handling in LOCK TABLES
implementation.
Add asserts to ensure correct life cycle of
statement transaction in a session.
Remove a piece of dead code that has also become redundant
after the fix for Bug 37521.
sporadically
There are two problems:
1. When closing temporary tables, during the THD clean up - and
after the session connection was already closed, there is a
chance we can push an error into the THD diagnostics area, if
the writing of the implicit DROP event to the binary log fails
for some reason. As a consequence an assertion can be
triggered, because at that point the diagnostics area is
already set.
2. Using push_warning with MYSQL_ERROR::WARN_LEVEL_ERROR is a
bug.
Given that close_temporary_tables is mostly called from
THD::cleanup - ie, with the session already closed, we fix
problem #1 by allowing the diagnostics area to be
overwritten. There is one other place in the code that calls
close_temporary_tables - while applying Start_log_event_v3. To
cover that case, we make close_temporary_tables to return the
error, thus, propagating upwards in the stack.
To fix problem #2, we replace push_warning with sql_print_error.
Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
WITH READ LOCK and FLUSH TABLES <list> WITH READ LOCK are
incompatible", which adds information about waits caused by
FLUSH TABLES statement to deadlock detector in MDL subsystem.
Remove API supporting caching of pointers to TABLE_SHARE
object in MDL subsystem and all code related to it.
The problem was that locking requirements of code
implementing this API conflicted with locking requirements
of code which adds information about waits caused by flushes
to deadlock detector in MDL subsystem (the former needed to
lock LOCK_open or its future equivalent while having
write-lock on MDL_lock's rwlock, and the latter needs to be
able to read-lock MDL_lock rwlock while owning LOCK_open or
its future equivalent).
Since caching of pointers to TABLE_SHARE objects in MDL
subsystem didn't bring expected performance benefits we
decided to remove caching API rather than try to come up
with some complex solution for this problem.
Essentially, the problem is that safemalloc is excruciatingly
slow as it checks all allocated blocks for overrun at each
memory management primitive, yielding a almost exponential
slowdown for the memory management functions (malloc, realloc,
free). The overrun check basically consists of verifying some
bytes of a block for certain magic keys, which catches some
simple forms of overrun. Another minor problem is violation
of aliasing rules and that its own internal list of blocks
is prone to corruption.
Another issue with safemalloc is rather the maintenance cost
as the tool has a significant impact on the server code.
Given the magnitude of memory debuggers available nowadays,
especially those that are provided with the platform malloc
implementation, maintenance of a in-house and largely obsolete
memory debugger becomes a burden that is not worth the effort
due to its slowness and lack of support for detecting more
common forms of heap corruption.
Since there are third-party tools that can provide the same
functionality at a lower or comparable performance cost, the
solution is to simply remove safemalloc. Third-party tools
can provide the same functionality at a lower or comparable
performance cost.
The removal of safemalloc also allows a simplification of the
malloc wrappers, removing quite a bit of kludge: redefinition
of my_malloc, my_free and the removal of the unused second
argument of my_free. Since free() always check whether the
supplied pointer is null, redudant checks are also removed.
Also, this patch adds unit testing for my_malloc and moves
my_realloc implementation into the same file as the other
memory allocation primitives.
Apart strict-aliasing warnings, fix the remaining warnings
generated by GCC 4.4.4 -Wall and -Wextra flags.
One major source of warnings was the in-house function my_bcmp
which (unconventionally) took pointers to unsigned characters
as the byte sequences to be compared. Since my_bcmp and bcmp
are deprecated functions whose only difference with memcmp is
the return value, every use of the function is replaced with
memcmp as the special return value wasn't actually being used
by any caller.
There were also various other warnings, mostly due to type
mismatches, missing return values, missing prototypes, dead
code (unreachable) and ignored return values.
DROP/ALTER/CREATE DATABASE with open HANDLER".
Remove wait_for_condition() which became unused after
database locks were replaced with MDL scoped locks.
If one needs functionality provided by this call one can
always use THD::enter_cond()/exit_cond() methods.
Also removed an unused include from sql_db.cc and updated
comment describing one of used includes to reflect current
situation.
DATABASE with open HANDLER"
Remove LOCK_create_db, database name locks, and use metadata locks instead.
This exposes CREATE/DROP/ALTER DATABASE statements to the graph-based
deadlock detector in MDL, and paves the way for a safe, deadlock-free
implementation of RENAME DATABASE.
Database DDL statements will now take exclusive metadata locks on
the database name, while table/view/routine DDL statements take
intention exclusive locks on the database name. This prevents race
conditions between database DDL and table/view/routine DDL.
(e.g. DROP DATABASE with concurrent CREATE/ALTER/DROP TABLE)
By adding database name locks, this patch implements
WL#4450 "DDL locking: CREATE/DROP DATABASE must use database locks" and
WL#4985 "DDL locking: namespace/hierarchical locks".
The patch also changes code to use init_one_table() where appropriate.
The new lock_table_names() function requires TABLE_LIST::db_length to
be set correctly, and this is taken care of by init_one_table().
This patch also adds a simple template to help work with
the mysys HASH data structure.
Most of the patch was written by Konstantin Osipov.
Remove mysql_lock_have_duplicate(), since now we always
have TABLE_LIST objects for MyISAMMRG children
in lex->query_tables and keep it till the end of the
statement (sub-statement).
switching binlog format to ROW
BUG 52616 fixed the case which the user would switch from STMT to
ROW binlog format, but the server would silently ignore it. After
that fix thd->is_current_stmt_binlog_format_row() reports correct
value at logging time and events are logged in ROW (as expected)
instead of STMT as they were previously and wrongly logged.
However, the fix was only partially complete, because on
disconnect, at THD cleanup, the implicit logging of temporary
tables is conditionally performed. If the binlog_format==ROW and
thd->is_current_stmt_binlog_format_row() is true then DROPs are
not logged. Given that the user can switch from STMT to ROW, this
is wrong because the server cannot tell, just by relying on the
ROW binlog format, that the tables have been dropped before. This
is effectively similar to the MIXED scenario when a switch from
STMT to ROW is triggered.
We fix this by removing this condition from
close_temporary_tables.
The assert was triggered if a connection executing TRUNCATE
on a InnoDB table was killed during open_tables.
This bug was fixed in the scope of Bug #45643
"InnoDB does not support replication of TRUNCATE TABLE".
This patch adds test coverage to innodb_mysql_sync.test.
subsystem. Fix a number of caveates that the previous
implementation suffered from, including unprotected
access to shared data and lax resource accounting
(share->ref_count) that could lead to deadlocks.
The new implementation still suffers from a number
of potential deadlocks in some edge cases, and this is
still not enabled by default. Especially since performance
testing has shown that it gives only marginable (not even
exceeding measuring accuracy) improvements.
@todo:
- Remove calls to close_cached_tables() with REFRESH_FAST,
and have_lock, because they break the MDL cache.
- rework FLUSH TABLES <list> to not use close_cached_tables()
- make sure that whenever we set TABLE_SHARE::version to
0 we free MDL cache references to it.
an atomic counter"
Split the large LOCK_open section in open_table().
Do not call open_table_from_share() under LOCK_open.
Remove thd->version.
This fixes
Bug#50589 "Server hang on a query evaluated using a temporary
table"
Bug#51557 "LOCK_open and kernel_mutex are not happy together"
Bug#49463 "LOCK_table and innodb are not nice when handler
instances are created".
This patch has effect on storage engines that rely on
ha_open() PSEA method being called under LOCK_open.
In particular:
1) NDB is broken and left unfixed. NDB relies on LOCK_open
being kept as part of ha_open(), since it uses auto-discovery.
While previously the NDB open code was race-prone, now
it simply fails on asserts.
2) HEAP engine had a race in ha_heap::open() when
a share for the same table could be added twice
to the list of shares, or a dangling reference to a share
stored in HEAP handler. This patch aims to address this
problem by 'pinning' the newly created share in the
internal HEAP engine share list until at least one
handler instance is created using that share.
make tdc_refresh_version an atomic counter".
To avoid orphaned TABLE_SHARE objects left in the
cache, make sure that wherever we set table->s->version
we take care of removing all unused table share objects
from the table cache.
Always set table->s->version under LOCK_open, to make sure
that no other connection sees an old value of the
version and adds the table to unused_tables list.
Add an assert to table_def_unuse_table() that we never
'unuse' a talbe of a share that has an old version.
With this patch, only three places are left in the code
that manipulate with table->s->version:
- tdc_remove_table(). In most cases we have an X mdl lock
in tdc_remove_table(), the two remaining cases when we
don't are 'FLUSH TABLE' and mysql_admin_table().
- sql_view.cc - a crude hack that needs a separate fix
- initial assignment from refresh_version in table.cc.
mutex protecting thd->open_tables".
We should not manipulate with table->s->version outside the
table definition cache code, but use the TDC API
to achieve the desired result.
Fix one violation: close_all_tables_for_name().
thd->open_tables"
thd->open_tables list is not normally accessed concurrently
except for one case: when the connection has open SQL
HANDLER tables, and we want to perform a DDL on the table,
we want to abort waits on MyISAM thr_lock of those connections
that prevent the DDL from proceeding, and iterate
over thd->open_tables list to find out the tables on which
the thread is waiting.
In 5.5 we mostly use deadlock detection and soft deadlock
prevention, as opposed to "hard" deadlock prevention
of 5.1, which would abort any transaction that
may cause a deadlock. The only remaining case when
neither deadlock detection nor deadlock prevention
is implemented in 5.5 is HANDLER SQL, where we use
old good thr_lock_abort() technique form 5.1.
Thus, replace use of LOCK_open to protect thd->open_tables
with thd->LOCK_ha_data (a lock protecting various session
private data).
This is a port of the work done for 5.5.4 for review
and inclusion into 5.5.5.
1) No mutex and no function call if we're not using
plugins.
2) If we're above the table definition cache limit,
delete the oldest unused share, not the share on our hands.
