This patch corrects a misstake in the test case for bug patch 43658.
There was a race in the test case when the thread id was retrieved from the processlist.
The result was that the same thread id was signalled twice and one thread id wasn't
signalled at all.
The affected platforms appears to be limited to linux.
Early patch submitted for discussion.
It is possible for more than one thread to enter the condition
in query_cache_insert(), but the condition predicate is to
signal one thread each time the cache status changes between
the following states: {NO_FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS,FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS,
TABLE_FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS}
Consider three threads THD1, THD2, THD3
THD2: select ... => Got a writer in ::store_query
THD3: select ... => Got a writer in ::store_query
THD1: flush tables => qc status= FLUSH_IN_PROGRESS;
new writers are blocked.
THD2: select ... => Still got a writer and enters cond in
query_cache_insert
THD3: select ... => Still got a writer and enters cond in
query_cache_insert
THD1: flush tables => finished and signal status change.
THD2: select ... => Wakes up and completes the insert.
THD3: select ... => Happily waiting for better times. Why hurry?
This patch is a refactoring of this lock system. It introduces four new methods:
Query_cache::try_lock()
Query_cache::lock()
Query_cache::lock_and_suspend()
Query_cache::unlock()
This change also deprecates wait_while_table_flush_is_in_progress(). All threads are
queued and put on a conditional wait. On each unlock the queue is signalled. This resolve
the issues with left over threads. To assure that no threads are spending unnecessary
time waiting a signal broadcast is issued every time a lock is taken before a full
cache flush.
The problem is that select queries executed concurrently with
a concurrent insert on a MyISAM table could be cached if the
select started after the query cache invalidation but before
the unlock of tables performed by the concurrent insert. This
race could happen because the concurrent insert was failing
to prevent cache of select queries happening at the same time.
The solution is to add a 'uncacheable' status flag to signal
that a concurrent insert is being performed on the table and
that queries executing at the same time shouldn't cache the
results.
