Push the patch of Jan Lindstrom: better comments
ha_innodb.cc:
Partial fix for Bug #12263 : we let InnoDB always to perform a rollback on the trx object if MySQL closes a connection; but we do print a warning to the .err log if an InnoDB transaction was active; we may remove that print later, since the situation really is not a bug; MySQL just is not aware that some cursor operation started an InnoDB transaction
data files. Previously, writes were flushed until the doublewrite
buffer was created. That would be too slow on systems where
os_file_flush() [or fsync(2)] is slow. (Bug #12125)
cursors for InnoDB. The idea of the patch is that if MySQL requests
a consistent read view, we open one when open a cursor, set is as the
active view to a transaction when fetch from the cursor, and close
together with cursor close. This patch is associated to bugs #11813,
#11832, and #11833. Contains after review fixes.
Since UNLOCK TABLES will commit the transaction (and thus release
all InnoDB locks held by it), it is unnecessary to release the
user-requested table locks separately.
Fix a problem in crash recovery of .ibd files on Windows if the user used lower_case_table_names=0 or 2; the directory scan in crash recovery forgot to put all paths to lower case, so that the tablespace name would be consistent with the internal data dictionary of InnoDB; remember that InnoDB puts internally all database names and table names to lower case on Windows, regardless of the value of lower_case_table_names
most InnoDB threads are not terminated properly and the buffer pool is not flushed
to disk. Still no committed transaction is lost as we flush the logs to disk.
InnoDB does crash recovery at startup after this shutdown.
Using this shutdown in testsuite (mysql-test-run --mysqld=--innodb_fast_shutdown=2) saved 3 minutes (13% of total time).
Gluh's SESSION/GLOBAL for @variables fix in sql_yacc.yy and
Bar's well_formed_len() changes in ndb code
did not make it and should be re-applied manually
between two server instances at server shutdown/startup.
This conflict on advisory locks appears to be the result of a bug
in the operating system; these locks should be released when the
files are closed, but somehow that does not always happen
immediately in Linux. (Bug #9381)
Add diagnostic code to track assertion failure in ut_a(cursor->old_stored == BTR_PCUR_OLD_STORED); the failure happened in OPTIMIZE TABLE, and in 4.0.24 in some other context
