This change is supposed to reduce number of ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
errors which occur when multi-statement transaction encounters
conflicting metadata lock in cases when waiting is possible.
The idea is not to fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when
we encounter conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all
metadata locks acquired by current statement and start to wait
until conflicting lock go away. To avoid deadlocks we use simple
empiric which aborts waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it
turns out that somebody is waiting for metadata locks owned by
this transaction.
This patch also fixes bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989
is not fully fixed in case of ALTER".
The bug was that concurrent execution of UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE
statement as a part of multi-statement transaction that already
has used table being updated and ALTER TABLE statement might have
resulted of loss of isolation between this transaction and ALTER
TABLE statement, which manifested itself as changes performed by
ALTER TABLE becoming visible in transaction and wrong binary log
order as a consequence.
This problem occurred when UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE's wait in
mysql_lock_tables() call was aborted due to metadata lock
upgrade performed by concurrent ALTER TABLE. After such abort all
metadata locks held by transaction were released but transaction
silently continued to be executed as if nothing has happened.
We solve this problem by changing our code not to release all
locks in such case. Instead we release only locks which were
acquired by current statement and then try to reacquire them
by restarting open/lock tables process. We piggyback on simple
deadlock detector implementation since this change has to be
done anyway for it.
"HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks".
Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel
is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two
groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only
one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK
TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK
and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when
someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g.
if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally,
see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()).
MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it.
******
A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a
transaction might lead to deadlocks".
An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction-
agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction,
and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection)
could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when
HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting
metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement
also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a
transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait
could occur.
Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically
closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection.
Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock
in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait
indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
is produced.
The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context
with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional
locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits
with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single
MDL context of the connection.
Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life
cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so
are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas
transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction
and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT,
a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context.
All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list.
However, a selected element of the list separates locks with
different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the
end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are
prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel.
Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only
release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks
must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement,
or an implicit close.
The same approach with sentinel
is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES
statement has never worked together, the implementation is
made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either
for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

Added MDL_request for stored routine as member to Sroutine_hash_entry

Bug #47249 assert in MDL_global_lock::is_lock_type_compatible
This assert could be triggered if LOCK TABLES were used to lock
both a table and a view that used the same table. The table would have
to be first WRITE locked and then READ locked. So "LOCK TABLES v1
WRITE, t1 READ" would eventually trigger the assert, "LOCK TABLES
v1 READ, t1 WRITE" would not. The reason is that the ordering of locks
in the interal representation made a difference when executing
FLUSH TABLE on the table.
During FLUSH TABLE, a lock was upgraded to exclusive. If this lock
was of type MDL_SHARED and not MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE, an internal
counter in the MDL subsystem would get out of sync. This would happen
if the *last* mention of the table in LOCK TABLES was a READ lock.
The counter in question is the number exclusive locks (active or intention).
This is used to make sure a global metadata lock is only taken when the
counter is zero (= no conflicts). The counter is increased when a
MDL_EXCLUSIVE or MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE lock is taken, but not when
upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() is used to upgrade directly
from MDL_SHARED to MDL_EXCLUSIVE.
This patch fixes the problem by searching for a TABLE instance locked
with MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE or MDL_EXCLUSIVE before calling
upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive(). The patch also adds an assert checking
that only MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE locks are upgraded to exclusive.
Test case added to lock_multi.test.
A pre-requisite patch for Bug#30977 "Concurrent statement using
stored function and DROP FUNCTION breaks SBR".
This patch changes the MDL API by introducing a namespace for
lock keys: MDL_TABLE for tables and views and MDL_PROCEDURE
for stored procedures and functions. The latter is needed for
the fix for Bug#30977.

WL#4284 "Transactional DDL locking"
A review fix.
Since WL#4284 implementation separated MDL_request and MDL_ticket,
MDL_request becamse a utility object necessary only to get a ticket.
Store it by-value in TABLE_LIST with the intent to merge
MDL_request::key with table_list->table_name and table_list->db
in future.
Change the MDL subsystem to not require MDL_requests to
stay around till close_thread_tables().
Remove the list of requests from the MDL context.
Requests for shared metadata locks acquired in open_tables()
are only used as a list in recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
which calls mdl_context.wait_for_locks() for this list.
To keep such list for recover_from_failed_open_table_attempt(),
introduce a context class (Open_table_context), that collects
all requests.
A lot of minor cleanups and simplications that became possible
with this change.

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
This is a prerequisite patch:
These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted
locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to
be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can
now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock
requests, but only shared locks can be recursive.
The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into
granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime
of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of
granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the
burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and
it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks
have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction.
Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to
acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires
that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted
lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is
released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts
as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at
the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake
ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds
a equivalent of the lock being released.
These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level
design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks
in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but
this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys,
requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once.
This patch combines review input and significant code contributions
from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).

"The great correction of names".
Renamed MDL_LOCK and MDL_LOCK_DATA classes to make usage of
these names in metadata locking subsystem consistent with
other parts of server (i.e. thr_lock.cc). Now we MDL_LOCK_DATA
corresponds to request for a lock and MDL_LOCK to the lock
itself. Adjusted code in MDL subsystem and other places
using these classes accordingly.
Did similar thing for GLOBAL_MDL_LOCK_DATA class and also
changed name of its members to correspond to names of
MDL_LOCK_DATA members.
Finally got rid of usage of one letter variables in MDL
code since it makes code harder to search in (according
to reviewer).

This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata
locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No
significant changes in the locking protocol.
The import passes the test suite with the exception of
deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter
are subject to a fix by WL#4144.
Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge,
thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments.
This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".
Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change:
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that
was not locked for WRITE.
Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or
VIEW that was not locked for WRITE.

Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one

These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code

list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't
always fulfilling this.
