There are two threads. In one thread, dml operation is going on
involving cascaded update operation. In another thread, alter
table add foreign key constraint is happening. Under these
circumstances, it is possible for the dml thread to access a
dict_foreign_t object that has been freed by the ddl thread.
The debug sync test case provides the sequence of operations.
Without fix, the test case will crash the server (because of
newly added assert). With fix, the alter table stmt will return
an error message.

PROBLEM: After WL 4144, when using MyISAM Merge tables, the routine
open_and_lock_tables will append to the list of tables to lock, the
base tables that make up the MERGE table. This has two side-effects in
replication:
1. On the master side, we log additional table maps for the base
tables, since they appear in the list of locked tables, even
though we don't really use them at the slave.
2. On the slave side, when opening a MERGE table while applying a
ROW event, additional tables are appended to the list of tables
to lock.
Side-effect #1 is not harmful. It's just that when using MyISAM Merge
tables a few table maps more may be logged.
Side-effect #2, is harmful, because the list rli->tables_to_lock is an
extended structure from TABLE_LIST in which the extra fields are
filled from the table maps that are processed. Since
open_and_lock_tables appends tables to the list after all table map
events have been processed we end up with entries without
replication/table map data on them. Thus when trying to access that
info for these extra tables, the server will crash.
SOLUTION: We fix side-effect #2 by making sure that we access the
replication part of the structure for those in the list that were
accounted for when processing the correspondent table map events. All
in all, we never go beyond rli->tables_to_lock_count.
We also deploy an assertion when clearing rli->tables_to_lock, making
sure that the base tables are not in the list anymore (were closed in
close_thread_tables).
On shutdown(), Windows can drop traffic still queued for sending even if that
wasn't specifically requested. As a result, fatal errors (those after
signaling which the server will drop the connection) were sometimes only
seen as "connection lost" on the client side, because the server-side
shutdown() erraneously discarded the correct error message before sending
it.
If on Windows, we now use the Windows API to access the (non-broken) equivalent
of shutdown().

include/violite.h:
export mysql_socket_shutdown(). It lives in vio in the backport.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Go through our own shutdown() rather than straight to the POSIX one.
vio/viosocket.c:
Define mysql_socket_shutdown(). On UNIXoid systems, it's just a wrapper for shutdown(), but
on Window, it uses DisconnectEx, which is magic.
This bug was originally filed and fixed as Bug#12612184. The original
fix was buggy, and it was patched by Bug#12704861. Also that patch was
buggy (potentially breaking crash recovery), and both fixes were
reverted.
This fix was not ported to the built-in InnoDB of MySQL 5.1, because
the function signatures of many core functions are different from
InnoDB Plugin and later versions. The block allocation routines and
their callers would have to changed so that they handle block
descriptors instead of page frames.
When a record is updated so that its size grows, non-updated columns
can be selected for external (off-page) storage. The bug is that the
initially inserted updated record contains an all-zero BLOB pointer to
the field that was not updated. Only after the BLOB pages have been
allocated and written, the valid pointer can be written to the record.
Between the release of the page latch in mtr_commit(mtr) after
btr_cur_pessimistic_update() and the re-latching of the page in
btr_pcur_restore_position(), other threads can see the invalid BLOB
pointer consisting of 20 zero bytes. Moreover, if the system crashes
at this point, the situation could persist after crash recovery, and
the contents of the non-updated column would be permanently lost.
The problem is amplified by the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC and
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED that were introduced in
innodb_file_format=barracuda in InnoDB Plugin, but the bug does exist
in all InnoDB versions.
The fix is as follows. After a pessimistic B-tree operation that needs
to write out off-page columns, allocate the pages for these columns in
the mini-transaction that performed the B-tree operation (btr_mtr),
but write the pages in a separate mini-transaction (blob_mtr). Do
mtr_commit(blob_mtr) before mtr_commit(btr_mtr). A quirk: Do not reuse
pages that were previously freed in btr_mtr. Only write the off-page
columns to 'fresh' pages.
In this way, crash recovery will see redo log entries for blob_mtr
before any redo log entry for btr_mtr. It will apply the BLOB page
writes to pages that were marked free at that point. If crash recovery
fails to see all of the btr_mtr redo log, there will be some
unreachable BLOB data in free pages, but the B-tree will be in a
consistent state.
btr_page_alloc_low(): Renamed from btr_page_alloc(). Add the parameter
init_mtr. Return an allocated block, or NULL. If init_mtr!=mtr but
the page was already X-latched in mtr, do not initialize the page.
btr_page_alloc(): Wrapper for btr_page_alloc_for_ibuf() and
btr_page_alloc_low().
btr_page_free(): Add a debug assertion that the page was a B-tree page.
btr_lift_page_up(): Return the father block.
btr_compress(), btr_cur_compress_if_useful(): Add the parameter ibool
adjust, for adjusting the cursor position.
btr_cur_pessimistic_update(): Preserve the cursor position when
big_rec will be written and the new flag BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG is defined.
Remove a duplicate rec_get_offsets() call. Keep the X-latch on
index->lock when big_rec is needed.
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields(): Replace update_inplace with
an operation code, and local_mtr with btr_mtr. When not doing a
fresh insert and btr_mtr has freed pages, put aside any pages that
were previously X-latched in btr_mtr, and free the pages after
writing out all data. The data must be written to 'fresh' pages,
because btr_mtr will be committed and written to the redo log after
the BLOB writes have been written to the redo log.
btr_blob_op_is_update(): Check if an operation passed to
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields() is an update or insert-by-update.
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(), fsp_alloc_free_page(),
fseg_alloc_free_extent(), fseg_alloc_free_page_general(): Add the
parameter init_mtr. Return an allocated block, or NULL. If
init_mtr!=mtr but the page was already X-latched in mtr, do not
initialize the page.
xdes_get_descriptor_with_space_hdr(): Assert that the file space
header is being X-latched.
fsp_alloc_from_free_frag(): Refactored from fsp_alloc_free_page().
fsp_page_create(): New function, for allocating, X-latching and
potentially initializing a page. If init_mtr!=mtr but the page was
already X-latched in mtr, do not initialize the page.
fsp_free_page(): Add ut_ad(0) to the error outcomes.
fsp_free_page(), fseg_free_page_low(): Increment mtr->n_freed_pages.
fsp_alloc_seg_inode_page(), fseg_create_general(): Assert that the
page was not previously X-latched in the mini-transaction. A file
segment or inode page should never be allocated in the middle of an
mini-transaction that frees pages, such as btr_cur_pessimistic_delete().
fseg_alloc_free_page_low(): If the hinted page was allocated, skip the
check if the tablespace should be extended. Return NULL instead of
FIL_NULL on failure. Remove the flag frag_page_allocated. Instead,
return directly, because the page would already have been initialized.
fseg_find_free_frag_page_slot() would return ULINT_UNDEFINED on error,
not FIL_NULL. Correct a bogus assertion.
fseg_alloc_free_page(): Redefine as a wrapper macro around
fseg_alloc_free_page_general().
buf_block_buf_fix_inc(): Move the definition from the buf0buf.ic to
buf0buf.h, so that it can be called from other modules.
mtr_t: Add n_freed_pages (number of pages that have been freed).
page_rec_get_nth_const(), page_rec_get_nth(): The inverse function of
page_rec_get_n_recs_before(), get the nth record of the record
list. This is faster than iterating the linked list. Refactored from
page_get_middle_rec().
trx_undo_rec_copy(): Add a debug assertion for the length.
trx_undo_add_page(): Return a block descriptor or NULL instead of a
page number or FIL_NULL.
trx_undo_report_row_operation(): Add debug assertions.
trx_sys_create_doublewrite_buf(): Assert that each page was not
previously X-latched.
page_cur_insert_rec_zip_reorg(): Make use of page_rec_get_nth().
row_ins_clust_index_entry_by_modify(): Pass BTR_KEEP_POS_FLAG, so that
the repositioning of the cursor can be avoided.
row_ins_index_entry_low(): Add DEBUG_SYNC points before and after
writing off-page columns. If inserting by updating a delete-marked
record, do not reposition the cursor or commit the mini-transaction
before writing the off-page columns.
row_build(): Tighten a debug assertion about null BLOB pointers.
row_upd_clust_rec(): Add DEBUG_SYNC points before and after writing
off-page columns. Do not reposition the cursor or commit the
mini-transaction before writing the off-page columns.

The problem was introduced in 5.5.20 by Bug 13116225. It tried to
protect against downgrading from a version 5.6.4 database that was
created with a page size other than 16k. Version 5.6.4 supports
page sizes 4k and 8k and stamps that page size into the header page
of each tablespace file. Version 5.5.20 attempts to read that page
size in the file header.
But it turns out that only the first system tablespace file has a
reliable flags field in the header. So only ibdata1 can be or needs
to be tested for another page size. Extra system tablespace files
like ibdata2, ibdata3, etc do not and should not be tested since the
flags field is unreliable.
OF WIDE RECORDS
row_ins_index_entry_low(), row_upd_clust_rec(): Make a redo log
checkpoint if a DEBUG flag is set. Add DEBUG_SYNC around
btr_store_big_rec_extern_fields().
