eba5d30e67 Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 
Add a wait-for graph based deadlock detector to the
MDL subsystem.

Fixes bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock" and
bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and
alter table".

The first bug manifested itself as an unwarranted abort of a
transaction with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error by a concurrent ALTER
statement, when this transaction tried to repeat use of a
table, which it has already used in a similar fashion before
ALTER started.

The second bug showed up as a deadlock between table-level
locks and InnoDB row locks, which was "detected" only after
innodb_lock_wait_timeout timeout.

A transaction would start using the table and modify a few
rows.
Then ALTER TABLE would come in, and start copying rows
into a temporary table. Eventually it would stumble on
the modified records and get blocked on a row lock.
The first transaction would try to do more updates, and get
blocked on thr_lock.c lock.
This situation of circular wait would only get resolved
by a timeout.

Both these bugs stemmed from inadequate solutions to the
problem of deadlocks occurring between different
locking subsystems.

In the first case we tried to avoid deadlocks between metadata
locking and table-level locking subsystems, when upgrading shared
metadata lock to exclusive one.
Transactions holding the shared lock on the table and waiting for
some table-level lock used to be aborted too aggressively.

We also allowed ALTER TABLE to start in presence of transactions
that modify the subject table. ALTER TABLE acquires
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock at start, and that block all writes
against the table (naturally, we don't want any writes to be lost
when switching the old and the new table). TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ
lock, in turn, would block the started transaction on thr_lock.c
lock, should they do more updates. This, again, lead to the need
to abort such transactions.

The second bug occurred simply because we didn't have any
mechanism to detect deadlocks between the table-level locks
in thr_lock.c and row-level locks in InnoDB, other than
innodb_lock_wait_timeout.

This patch solves both these problems by moving lock conflicts
which are causing these deadlocks into the metadata locking
subsystem, thus making it possible to avoid or detect such
deadlocks inside MDL.

To do this we introduce new type-of-operation-aware metadata
locks, which allow MDL subsystem to know not only the fact that
transaction has used or is going to use some object but also what
kind of operation it has carried out or going to carry out on the
object.

This, along with the addition of a special kind of upgradable
metadata lock, allows ALTER TABLE to wait until all
transactions which has updated the table to go away.
This solves the second issue.
Another special type of upgradable metadata lock is acquired
by LOCK TABLE WRITE. This second lock type allows to solve the
first issue, since abortion of table-level locks in event of
DDL under LOCK TABLES becomes also unnecessary.

Below follows the list of incompatible changes introduced by
this patch:

- From now on, ALTER TABLE and CREATE/DROP TRIGGER SQL (i.e. those
  statements that acquire TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock)
  wait for all transactions which has *updated* the table to
  complete.

- From now on, LOCK TABLES ... WRITE, REPAIR/OPTIMIZE TABLE
  (i.e. all statements which acquire TL_WRITE table-level lock) wait
  for all transaction which *updated or read* from the table
  to complete.
  As a consequence, innodb_table_locks=0 option no longer applies
  to LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.

- DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE no longer abort
  statements or transactions which use tables being dropped or
  renamed, and instead wait for these transactions to complete.

- Since LOCK TABLES WRITE now takes a special metadata lock,
  not compatible with with reads or writes against the subject table
  and transaction-wide, thr_lock.c deadlock avoidance algorithm
  that used to ensure absence of deadlocks between LOCK TABLES
  WRITE and other statements is no longer sufficient, even for
  MyISAM. The wait-for graph based deadlock detector of MDL
  subsystem may sometimes be necessary and is involved. This may
  lead to ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error produced for multi-statement
  transactions even if these only use MyISAM:

  session 1:         session 2:
  begin;

  update t1 ...      lock table t2 write, t1 write;
                     -- gets a lock on t2, blocks on t1

  update t2 ...
  (ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK)

- Finally,  support of LOW_PRIORITY option for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE
  was abandoned.
  LOCK TABLE ... LOW_PRIORITY WRITE from now on has the same
  priority as the usual LOCK TABLE ... WRITE.
  SELECT HIGH PRIORITY no longer trumps LOCK TABLE ... WRITE  in
  the wait queue.

- We do not take upgradable metadata locks on implicitly
  locked tables. So if one has, say, a view v1 that uses
  table t1, and issues:
  LOCK TABLE v1 WRITE;
  FLUSH TABLE t1; -- (or just 'FLUSH TABLES'),
  an error is produced.
  In order to be able to perform DDL on a table under LOCK TABLES,
  the table must be locked explicitly in the LOCK TABLES list.

mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
  Adjusted test case to trigger an execution path on which bug 41110
  "crash with handler command when used concurrently with alter
  table" and bug 41112 "crash in mysql_ha_close_table/get_lock_data
  with alter table" were originally discovered. Left old test case
  which no longer triggers this execution path for the sake of
  coverage.
  Added test coverage for HANDLER SQL statements and type-aware
  metadata locks.
  Added a test for the global shared lock and HANDLER SQL.
  Updated tests to take into account that the old simple deadlock
  detection heuristics was replaced with a graph-based deadlock
  detector.

  Updated results (see lock_sync.test).
mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:
  Updated results (see mdl_sync.test).
mysql-test/r/sp-threads.result:
  SHOW PROCESSLIST output has changed due to the fact that waiting
  for LOCK TABLES WRITE now happens within metadata locking
  subsystem.
mysql-test/r/truncate_coverage.result:
  Updated results (see truncate_coverage.test).
mysql-test/suite/funcs_1/datadict/processlist_val.inc:
  SELECT FROM I_S.PROCESSLIST output has changed due to fact that
  waiting for LOCK TABLES WRITE now happens within metadata locking
  subsystem.
mysql-test/suite/funcs_1/r/processlist_val_no_prot.result:
  SELECT FROM I_S.PROCESSLIST output has changed due to fact that
  waiting for LOCK TABLES WRITE now happens within metadata locking
  subsystem.
mysql-test/suite/rpl/t/rpl_sp.test:
  Updated to a new SHOW PROCESSLIST state name.
mysql-test/t/debug_sync.test:
  Use LOCK TABLES READ instead of LOCK TABLES WRITE as the latter
  no longer allows to trigger execution path involving waiting on
  thr_lock.c lock and therefore reaching debug sync-point covered
  by this test.
mysql-test/t/innodb-lock.test:
  Adjusted test case to the fact that innodb_table_locks=0 option is
  no longer supported, since LOCK TABLES WRITE handles all its
  conflicts within MDL subsystem.
mysql-test/t/innodb_mysql_lock.test:
  Added test for bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between
  update and alter table".
mysql-test/t/lock.test:
  Added test coverage which checks the fact that we no longer support
  DDL under LOCK TABLES on tables which were locked implicitly.
  Adjusted existing test cases accordingly.
mysql-test/t/lock_multi.test:
  Added test for bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary
  deadlock".  Adjusted other test cases to take into account the
  fact that waiting for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE now happens within MDL
  subsystem.
mysql-test/t/lock_sync.test:
  Since LOCK TABLES ... WRITE now takes SNRW metadata lock for
  tables locked explicitly we have to implicitly lock InnoDB tables
  (through view) to trigger the table-level lock conflict between
  TL_WRITE and TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE.
mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test:
  Added basic test coverage for type-of-operation-aware metadata
  locks. Also covered with tests some use cases involving HANDLER
  statements in which a deadlock could arise.

  account.
mysql-test/t/multi_update.test:
  Update to a new SHOW PROCESSLIST state name.
mysql-test/t/truncate_coverage.test:
  Adjusted test case after making LOCK TABLES WRITE to wait until
  transactions that use the table to be locked are completed.
  Updated to the changed name of DEBUG_SYNC point.
sql/handler.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been
  moved into a class.
sql/lock.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been
  moved into a class.
  Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Introduced new type-of-operation aware metadata locks.
  To do this:
  - Changed MDL_lock to use one list for waiting requests and one
    list for granted requests. For each list, added a bitmap
    that holds information what lock types a list contains.
    Added a helper class MDL_lock::List to manipulate with granted
    and waited lists while keeping the bitmaps in sync
    with list contents.
  - Changed lock-compatibility functions to use bitmaps that
    define compatibility.
  - Introduced a graph based deadlock detector inspired by
    waiting_threads.c from Maria implementation.
  - Now that we have a deadlock detector, and no longer have
    a global lock to protect individual lock objects, but rather
    use an rw lock per object, removed redundant code for upgrade,
    and the global read lock. Changed the MDL API to
    no longer require the caller to acquire the global
    intention exclusive lock by means of a separate method.
    Removed a few more methods that became redundant.
  - Removed deadlock detection heuristic, it has been made
    obsolete by the deadlock detector.
  - With operation-type-aware metadata locks, MDL subsystem has
    become aware of potential conflicts between DDL and open
    transactions. This made it possible to remove calls to
    mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() from acquisition
    paths for exclusive lock and lock upgrade. Now we can simply
    wait for these transactions to complete without fear of
    deadlock. Function mysql_lock_abort() has also become
    unnecessary for all conflicting cases except when a DDL
    conflicts with a connection that has an open HANDLER.
sql/mdl.h:
  Introduced new type-of-operation aware metadata locks.
  Introduced a graph based deadlock detector and supporting
  methods.
  Added comments.
  God rid of redundant API calls.
  Renamed m_lt_or_ha_sentinel to m_trans_sentinel,
  since now it guards the global read lock as well as
  LOCK TABLES and HANDLER locks.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Moved the global read lock functionality into a
  class.
  Added MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED_MDL flag which forces
  open_tables() to take MDL_SHARED on tables instead of
  metadata locks specified in the parser. We use this to
  allow PREPARE run concurrently in presence of
  LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
  Added signature for find_table_for_mdl_ugprade().
sql/set_var.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been
  moved into a class.
sql/sp_head.cc:
  When creating TABLE_LIST elements for prelocking or
  system tables set the type of request for metadata
  lock according to the operation that will be performed
  on the table.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  - Updated code to use the new MDL API.
  - In order to avoid locks starvation we take upgradable
    locks all at once. As result implicitly locked tables no
    longer get an upgradable lock. Consequently DDL and FLUSH
    TABLES for such tables is prohibited.
    find_write_locked_table() was replaced by
    find_table_for_mdl_upgrade() function.
    open_table() was adjusted to return TABLE instance with
    upgradable ticket when necessary.
  - We no longer wait for all locks on OT_WAIT back off
    action -- only on the lock that caused the wait
    conflict. Moreover, now we distinguish cases when we
    have to wait due to conflict in MDL and old version
    of table in TDC.
  - Upate mysql_notify_threads_having_share_locks()
    to only abort thr_lock.c waits of threads that
    have open HANDLERs, since lock conflicts with only
    these threads now can lead to deadlocks not detectable
    by the MDL deadlock detector.
  - Remove mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_locks()
    which is no longer needed.
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
  Re-arranged code in THD::cleanup() to simplify assert.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Introduced class to incapsulate global read lock
  functionality.
  Now sentinel in MDL subsystem guards the global read lock
  as well as LOCK TABLES and HANDLER locks. Adjusted code
  accordingly.
sql/sql_db.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
sql/sql_delete.cc:
  We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
  which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result
  TRUNCATE TABLE is no longer allowed for such tables.
  Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_handler.cc:
  Inform MDL_context about presence of open HANDLERs.
  Since HANLDERs break MDL protocol by acquiring table-level
  lock while holding only S metadata lock on a table MDL
  subsystem should take special care about such contexts (Now
  this is the only case when mysql_lock_abort() is used).
sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
  Do not take upgradable metadata locks when opening tables
  for CREATE TABLE SELECT as it is not necessary and limits
  concurrency.
  When initializing TABLE_LIST objects before adding them
  to the table list set the type of request for metadata lock
  according to the operation that will be performed on the
  table.
  We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
  which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result FLUSH
  TABLES is no longer allowed for such tables.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
  Use MYSQL_OPEN_FORCE_SHARED_MDL flag when opening
  tables during PREPARE. This allows PREPARE to run
  concurrently in presence of LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
sql/sql_rename.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_table.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
  We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
  which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result DROP
  TABLE is no longer allowed for such tables.
  Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
  We no longer acquire upgradable metadata locks on tables
  which are locked by LOCK TABLES implicitly. As result
  CREATE/DROP TRIGGER is no longer allowed for such tables.
  Updated code to use the new MDL API.
sql/sql_view.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.
  Fixed results of wrong merge that led to misuse of GLR API.
  CREATE VIEW statement is not a commit statement.
sql/table.cc:
  When resetting TABLE_LIST objects for PS or SP re-execution
  set the type of request for metadata lock according to the
  operation that will be performed on the table. Do the same
  in auxiliary function initializing metadata lock requests
  in a table list.
sql/table.h:
  When initializing TABLE_LIST objects set the type of request
  for metadata lock according to the operation that will be
  performed on the table.
sql/transaction.cc:
  Global read lock functionality has been moved into a class.

6ddd01c27a Patch that changes metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and 
condition variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional
variable for the whole subsystem.

This should increase concurrency in this subsystem.

It also opens the way for further changes which are necessary to solve
such bugs as bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock"
and bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
table".

Two other notable changes done by this patch:

- MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
  metadata lock when per-object metadata lock is acquired. Now this has
  to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
- Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables/tables
  for purposes of I_S we now create MDL savepoint in the main context
  before opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing
  them. This means that it is now possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
  even not inside a transaction. This might happen in unlikely case when
  one runs DDL on one of system tables while also running DDL on some
  other tables. Cases when this ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is not justified
  will be addressed by advanced deadlock detector for MDL subsystem which
  we plan to implement.

mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
  Adjusted handler_myisam.test and handler_innodb.test to the fact that
  exclusive metadata locks on tables are now acquired according to
  alphabetical order of fully qualified table names instead of order
  in which tables are mentioned in statement.
mysql-test/r/handler_innodb.result:
  Adjusted handler_myisam.test and handler_innodb.test to the fact that
  exclusive metadata locks on tables are now acquired according to
  alphabetical order of fully qualified table names instead of order
  in which tables are mentioned in statement.
mysql-test/r/handler_myisam.result:
  Adjusted handler_myisam.test and handler_innodb.test to the fact that
  exclusive metadata locks on tables are now acquired according to
  alphabetical order of fully qualified table names instead of order
  in which tables are mentioned in statement.
mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:
  Adjusted mdl_sync.test to the fact that exclusive metadata locks on
  tables are now acquired according to alphabetical order of fully
  qualified table names instead of order in which tables are mentioned
  in statement.
mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test:
  Adjusted mdl_sync.test to the fact that exclusive metadata locks on
  tables are now acquired according to alphabetical order of fully
  qualified table names instead of order in which tables are mentioned
  in statement.
sql/events.cc:
  Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
  create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
  and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
  change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
  state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
  to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
  opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
  instead of Open_table_state class as well.
sql/ha_ndbcluster.cc:
  Since manipulations with open table state no longer install proxy
  MDL_context it does not make sense to perform them in order to
  satisfy assert in mysql_rm_tables_part2(). Removed them per agreement
  with Cluster team. This has not broken test suite since scenario in
  which deadlock can occur and assertion fails is not covered by tests.
sql/lock.cc:
  MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
  metadata lock when per-object exclusive metadata lock is acquired.
  Now this has to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
sql/log.cc:
  Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
  create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
  and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
  change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
  state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
  to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
  opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
  instead of Open_table_state class as well.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Changed metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and condition
  variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional variable
  for the whole subsystem.
  Changed approach to handling of global metadata locks. Instead of
  implicitly acquiring intention exclusive locks when user requests
  per-object upgradeable or exclusive locks now we require them to be
  acquired explicitly in the same way as ordinary metadata locks.
  In fact global lock are now ordinary metadata locks in new GLOBAL
  namespace.
  
  To implement these changes:
  - Removed LOCK_mdl mutex and COND_mdl condition variable.
  - Introduced MDL_lock::m_mutex mutexes which protect individual lock
    objects.
  - Replaced mdl_locks hash with MDL_map class, which has hash for
    MDL_lock objects as a member and separate mutex which protects this
    hash. Methods of this class allow to find(), find_or_create() or
    remove() MDL_lock objects in concurrency-friendly fashion (i.e.
    for most common operation, find_or_create(), we don't acquire
    MDL_lock::m_mutex while holding MDL_map::m_mutex. Thanks to MikaelR
    for this idea and benchmarks!). Added three auxiliary members to
    MDL_lock class (m_is_destroyed, m_ref_usage, m_ref_release) to
    support this concurrency-friendly behavior.
  - Introduced MDL_context::m_ctx_wakeup_cond condition variable to be
    used for waiting until this context's pending request can be
    satisfied or its thread has to perform actions to resolve potential
    deadlock. Context which want to wait add ticket corresponding to the
    request to an appropriate queue of waiters in MDL_lock object so
    they can be noticed when other contexts change state of lock and be
    awaken by them by signalling on MDL_context::m_ctx_wakeup_cond.
    As consequence MDL_ticket objects has to be used for any waiting
    in metadata locking subsystem including one which happens in
    MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method.
    Another consequence is that MDL_context is no longer copyable and
    can't be saved/restored when working with system tables.
  - Made MDL_lock an abstract class, which delegates specifying exact
    compatibility matrix to its descendants. Added MDL_global_lock child
    class for global lock (The old is_lock_type_compatible() method
    became can_grant_lock() method of this class). Added MDL_object_lock
    class to represent per-object lock (The old MDL_lock::can_grant_lock()
    became its method). Choice between two classes happens based on MDL
    namespace in MDL_lock::create() method.
  - Got rid of MDL_lock::type member as its meaning became ambigous for
    global locks.
  - To simplify waking up of contexts waiting for lock split waiting queue
    in MDL_lock class in two queues. One for pending requests for exclusive
    (including intention exclusive) locks and another for requests for
    shared locks.
  - Added virtual wake_up_waiters() method to MDL_lock, MDL_global_lock and
    MDL_object_lock classes which allows to wake up waiting contexts after
    state of lock changes. Replaced old duplicated code with calls to this
    method.
  - Adjusted MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock()/exclusive_lock()/
    global_shared_lock(), MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive_lock()
    and MDL_context::release_ticket() methods to use MDL_map and
    MDL_lock::m_mutex instead of single LOCK_mdl mutex and wake up
    waiters according to the approach described above. The latter method
    also was renamed to MDL_context::release_lock().
  - Changed MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock()/exclusive_lock() and
    release_lock() not to handle global locks. They are now supposed to
    be taken explicitly like ordinary metadata locks.
  - Added helper MDL_context::try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()
    and acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() methods.
  - Moved common code from MDL_context::acquire_global_shared_lock() and
    acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() to new method -
    MDL_context::acquire_lock_impl().
  - Moved common code from MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock(),
    try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()/exclusive_lock()
    to MDL_context::try_acquire_lock_impl().
  - Since acquiring of several exclusive locks can no longer happen under
    single LOCK_mdl mutex the approach to it had to be changed. Now we do
    it in one by one fashion. This is done in alphabetical order to avoid
    deadlocks. Changed MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_locks() accordingly
    (as part of this change moved code responsible for acquiring single
    exclusive lock to new MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_lock_impl()
    method).
  - Since we no longer have single LOCK_mdl mutex which protects all
    MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl members using these members to
    determine if we have really awaken context holding conflicting
    shared lock became inconvinient. Got rid of this member and changed
    notify_shared_lock() helper function and process of acquiring
    of/upgrading to exclusive lock not to rely on such information.
    Now in MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_lock_impl() and
    MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive_lock() we simply
    re-try to wake up threads holding conflicting shared locks after
    small time out.
  - Adjusted MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() and
    MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock() to use per-lock
    mutexes instead of LOCK_mdl. To do this introduced
    MDL_lock::has_pending_exclusive_lock() method.
sql/mdl.h:
  Changed metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and condition
  variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional variable
  for the whole subsystem. In order to implement this change:
  
  - Added MDL_key::cmp() method to be able to sort MDL_key objects
    alphabetically. Changed length fields in MDL_key class to uint16
    as 16-bit is enough for length of any key.
  - Changed MDL_ticket::get_ctx() to return pointer to non-const
    object in order to be able to use MDL_context::awake() method
    for such contexts.
  - Got rid of unlocked versions of can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/
    has_pending_conflicting_lock() methods in MDL_context and
    MDL_ticket. We no longer has single mutex which protects all
    locks. Thus one always has to use versions of these methods
    which acquire per-lock mutexes.
  - MDL_request_list type of list now counts its elements.
  - Added MDL_context::m_ctx_wakeup_cond condition variable to be used
    for waiting until this context's pending request can be satisfied
    or its thread has to perform actions to resolve potential deadlock.
    Added awake() method to wake up context from such wait.
    Addition of condition variable made MDL_context uncopyable.
    As result we no longer can save/restore MDL_context when working
    with system tables. Instead we create MDL savepoint before opening
    those tables and rollback to it once they are closed.
  - MDL_context::release_ticket() became release_lock() method.
  - Added auxiliary MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_lock_impl() method
    which does all necessary work to acquire exclusive lock on one object
    but should not be used directly as it does not enforce any asserts
    ensuring that no deadlocks are possible.
  - Since we no longer need to know if thread trying to acquire exclusive
    lock managed to wake up any threads having conflicting shared locks
    (as, anyway, we will try to wake up such threads again shortly)
  - MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl member became unnecessary and
    notify_shared_lock() no longer needs to be friend of MDL_context.
  
  Changed approach to handling of global metadata locks. Instead of
  implicitly acquiring intention exclusive locks when user requests
  per-object upgradeable or exclusive locks now we require them to be
  acquired explicitly in the same way as ordinary metadata locks.
  
  - Added new GLOBAL namespace for such locks.
  - Added new type of lock to be requested MDL_INTENTION_EXCLISIVE.
  - Added MDL_context::try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()
    and acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() methods.
  - Moved common code from MDL_context::acquire_global_shared_lock()
    and acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() to new method -
    MDL_context::acquire_lock_impl().
  - Moved common code from MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock(),
    try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()/exclusive_lock()

0228c98936 Implementation of simple deadlock detection for metadata locks. 
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.

mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
  After introduction of basic deadlock detector for metadata locks
  it became necessary to change parts of test for HANDLER statements
  which covered some of scenarios in which ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
  was detected in absence of real deadlock (with new deadlock detector
  this no longer happens).
  Also adjusted test to the fact that HANDLER READ for the table no
  longer will be blocked by ALTER TABLE for the same table which awaits
  for metadata lock upgrade (this is due to removal of mysql_lock_abort()
  from wait_while_table_is_used()).

sql/log_event_old.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/mdl.cc:
  Changed metadata locking subsystem to support basic deadlock detection
  with a help of the following simple empiric -- we assume that there is
  a deadlock if there is a connection which has to wait for a metadata
  lock which is currently acquired by some connection which is itself
  waiting to be able to acquire some shared metadata lock.
  
  To implement this change:
  - Added MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/_impl() methods
    which allow to find out if there is someone waiting for metadata
    lock which is held by the connection and therefore deadlocks are
    possible if this connection is going to wait for some metadata lock.
    To do this added version of MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock()
    method which assumes that its caller already owns LOCK_mdl mutex.
  - Changed MDL_context::wait_for_locks() to use one of the above methods
    to check if somebody is waiting for metadata lock owned by this
    context (and therefore deadlock is possible) and emit ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
    error in this case. Also now we mark context of connections waiting
    inside of this method by setting MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl
    member. Thanks to this such connection could be waken up if some
    other connection starts waiting for one of its metadata locks and
    so a deadlock can occur.
  - Adjusted notify_shared_lock() to wake up connections which wait inside
    MDL_context::wait_for_locks() while holding shared metadata lock.
  - Changed MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() to add
    temporary ticket for exclusive lock to MDL_lock::waiting queue, so
    request for metadata lock upgrade can be properly detected by our
    empiric.
    Also now this method invokes a callback which forces transactions
    holding shared metadata lock on the table to call MDL_context::
    can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() method even if they don't need any new
    metadata locks. Thanks to this such transactions can detect deadlocks/
    livelocks between MDL and table-level locks.
  
  Also reduced timeouts between calls to notify_shared_lock()
  in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() and
  MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_locks(). This was necessary
  to get rid of call to mysql_lock_abort() in wait_while_table_is_used().
  (Now we instead rely on notify_shared_lock() timely calling
  mysql_lock_abort_for_thread() for the table on which lock
  is being upgraded/acquired).
sql/mdl.h:
  - Added a version of MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock() method
    to be used in situations when caller already has acquired LOCK_mdl
    mutex.
  - Added MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/_impl() methods
    which allow to find out if there is someone waiting for metadata lock
    which is held by this connection and thus deadlocks are possible if
    this connections will start waiting for some metadata lock.
  - Added MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl member to mark connections
    waiting in MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method of metadata locking
    subsystem. Added getter method for this private member to make it
    accessible in notify_shared_lock() auxiliary so we can wake-up such
    connections if they hold shared metadata locks.
  - Finally, added mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() callback
    to be able force transactions which don't need any new metadata
    locks still call MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() and detect
    some of deadlocks between metadata locks and table-level locks.
sql/mysql_priv.h:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_base.cc:
  Changed approach to metadata locking for multi-statement transactions.
  We no longer 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
  locks to go away by calling MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method.
  To avoid deadlocks the latter implements 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.
  
  To implement the change described above:
  - Introduced Open_table_context::m_start_of_statement_svp member to
    store state of metadata locks at the start of the statement.
  - Changed Open_table_context::request_backoff_action() not to
    fail with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK immediately if back-off is requested
    due to conflicting metadata lock.
  - Added new argument for close_tables_for_reopen() procedure which
    allows to specify subset of metadata locks to be released.
  - Changed open_tables() not to release all metadata locks acquired
    by current transaction when metadata lock conflict is discovered.
    Instead we release only locks acquired by current statement.
  - Changed open_ltable() and open_and_lock_tables_derived() not to emit
    ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error when mysql_lock_tables() is aborted in
    multi-statement transaction when somebody tries to acquire exclusive
    metadata lock on the table. Instead we release metadata locks acquired
    by current statement and try to wait until they can be re-acquired.
  - Adjusted tdc_wait_for_old_versions() to check if there is someone
    waiting for one of metadata locks held by this connection and run
    deadlock detection in order to avoid deadlocks in some
    situations.
  - Added mysql_abort_transactions_with_shared_lock() callback which
    allows to force transactions holding shared metadata lock on the
    table to call MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() even if they
    don't need any new metadata locks so they can detect potential
    deadlocks between metadata locking subsystem and table-level locks.
  - Adjusted wait_while_table_is_used() not to set TABLE::version to
    0 as it is now done only when necessary by the above-mentioned
    callback. Also removed unnecessary call to mysql_lock_abort().
    Instead we rely on code performing metadata lock upgrade aborting
    waits on the table-level lock for this table by calling
    mysql_lock_abort_for_thread() (invoked by
    mysql_notify_thread_having_shared_lock()). In future this should
    allow to reduce number of scenarios in which we produce
    ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error even though no real deadlock exists.
sql/sql_class.h:
  Introduced Open_table_context::m_start_of_statement_svp member to
  store state of metadata locks at the start of the statement.
  Replaced Open_table_context::m_can_deadlock member with m_has_locks
  member to reflect the fact that we no longer unconditionally emit
  ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error for transaction having some metadata locks
  when conflicting metadata lock is discovered.
sql/sql_insert.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_plist.h:
  Made I_P_List_iterator<T, B> usable with const lists.
sql/sql_show.cc:
  close_tables_for_reopen() now takes one more argument which
  specifies at which point it should stop releasing metadata
  locks acquired by this connection.
sql/sql_update.cc:
  Changed UPDATE and MULTI-UPDATE code not to release all metadata
  locks when calls to mysql_lock_tables() are aborted. Instead we
  release only locks which are acquired by this statement and then
  try to reacquire them by calling open_tables(). This solves
  bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989 is not fully fixed in
  case of ALTER".

Bug #48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks
           against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE

This deadlock occured between
a) CREATE PROCEDURE (or other commands listed below)
b) FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK

If the execution of them happened in the following order:
- a) opens a table (e.g. mysql.proc)
- b) locks the global read lock (or GRL)
- a) sleeps inside wait_if_global_read_lock()
- b) increases refresh_version and sleeps waiting 
     for old tables to go away

Note that a) must start waiting on the GRL before FLUSH increases
refresh_version. Otherwise a) won't wait on the GRL and instead
close its tables for reopen, allowing FLUSH to complete and thus
avoid the deadlock.

With this patch the deadlock is avoided by making CREATE PROCEDURE
acquire a protection against global read locks before it starts
executing. This means that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will have
to wait until CREATE PROCEDURE completes before acquiring the global
read lock, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

This is implemented by introducing a new SQL command flag called
CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL. Commands marked with this flag will
acquire a GRL protection in the beginning of mysql_execute_command().
This patch adds the flag to CREATE, ALTER and DROP for PROCEDURE
and FUNCTION, as well as CREATE USER, DROP USER, RENAME USER and 
REVOKE ALL. All these commands either call open_grant_tables() or
open_system_table_for_updated() which make them susceptible for
this deadlock.

The patch also adds the CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL flag to a number
of commands that previously acquired GRL protection in their
respective SQLCOM case in mysql_execute_command().

Test case that checks for GRL protection for CREATE PROCEDURE
and CREATE USER added to mdl_sync.test.

Bug#42546 Backup: RESTORE fails, thinking it finds an existing table

The problem occured when a MDL locking conflict happened for a non-existent 
table between a CREATE and a INSERT statement. The code for CREATE 
interpreted this lock conflict to mean that the table existed, 
which meant that the statement failed when it should not have.
The problem could occur for CREATE TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE and
ALTER TABLE RENAME.

This patch fixes the problem for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.
It is based on code backported from the mysql-6.1-fk tree written
by Dmitry Lenev. CREATE now uses normal open_and_lock_tables() code 
to acquire exclusive locks. This means that for the test case in the bug 
description, CREATE will wait until INSERT completes so that it can 
get the exclusive lock. This resolves the reported bug.

The patch also prohibits CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE under 
LOCK TABLES. Note that this is an incompatible change and must 
be reflected in the documentation. Affected test cases have been
updated.

mdl_sync.test contains tests for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.

Fixing the issue for ALTER TABLE RENAME is beyond the scope of this
patch. ALTER TABLE cannot be prohibited from working under LOCK TABLES
as this could seriously impact customers and a proper fix would require
a significant rewrite.

  Fix for bug #46673 "Deadlock between FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and DML".

  Deadlocks occured when one concurrently executed transactions with
  several statements modifying data and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
  statement or SET READ_ONLY=1 statement.

  These deadlocks were introduced by the patch for WL 4284: "Transactional
  DDL locking"/Bug 989: "If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction,
  wrong binlog order" which has changed FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/SET
  READ_ONLY=1 to wait for pending transactions.
  What happened was that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK blocked all further
  statements changing tables by setting global_read_lock global variable
  and has started waiting for all pending transactions to complete.
  Then one of those transactions tried to executed DML, detected that
  global_read_lock non-zero and tried to wait until global read lock will
  be released (i.e. global_read_lock becomes 0), indeed, this led to a
  deadlock.

  Proper solution for this problem should probably involve full integration
  of global read lock with metadata locking subsystem (which will allow to
  implement waiting for pending transactions without blocking DML in them).
  But since it requires significant changes another, short-term solution
  for the problem is implemented in this patch.

  Basically, this patch restores behavior of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/
  SET READ_ONLY=1 before the patch for WL 4284/bug 989. By ensuring that
  extra references to TABLE_SHARE are not stored for active metadata locks
  it changes these statements not to wait for pending transactions.
  As result deadlock is eliminated.
  Note that this does not change the fact that active FLUSH TABLES WITH
  READ LOCK lock or SET READ_ONLY=1 prevent modifications to tables as
  they also block transaction commits.

  This means that transactions holding metadata lock on the table will
  no longer have extra reference to the TABLE_SHARE (due to this lock)
  and will no longer block concurrent FLUSH TABLES/FLUSH TABLES WITH
  READ LOCK. Note that this does not change the fact that FLUSH TABLES
  WITH READ LOCK prevents concurrent transactions from modifying data
  as it also blocks all commits.

message:
  Fix for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE HIGH_PRIORITY
  FOR UPDATE".

  Deadlock occured when during execution of query to I_S we tried to open
  a table or its .FRM in order to get information about it and had to wait
  because we have encountered exclusive metadata lock on this table held by
  a DDL operation from another connection which in its turn waited for some
  resource currently owned by connection executing this I_S query.
  For example, this might have happened if one under LOCK TABLES executed I_S
  query targeted to particular table (which was not among locked) and also
  concurrently tried to create this table using CREATE TABLE SELECT which
  had to wait for one of tables locked by the first connection.
  Another situation in which deadlock might have occured is when I_S query,
  which was executed as part of transaction, tried to get information about
  table which just has been dropped by concurrent DROP TABLES executed under
  LOCK TABLES and this DROP TABLES for its completion also had to wait
  transaction from the first connection.

  This problem stemmed from the fact that opening of tables/.FRMs for I_S
  filling is happening outside of connection's main MDL_context so code
  which tries to detect deadlocks due to conflicting metadata locks doesn't
  work in this case. Indeed, this led to deadlocks when during I_S filling
  we tried to wait for conflicting metadata lock to go away, while its owner
  was waiting for some resource held by connection executing I_S query.

  This patch solves this problem by avoiding waiting in such situation.
  Instead we skip this table and produce warning that information about
  it was omitted from I_S due to concurrent DDL operation. We still wait
  for conflicting metadata lock to go away when it is known that deadlock
  is not possible (i.e. when connection executing I_S query does not hold
  any metadata or table-level locks).
  Basically, we apply our standard deadlock avoidance technique for metadata
  locks to the process of filling of I_S tables but replace ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK
  error with a warning.
  Note that this change is supposed to be safe for 'mysqldump' since the
  only its mode which is affected by this change is --single-transaction mode
  is not safe in the presence of concurrent DDL anyway (and this fact is
  documented). Other modes are unaffected because they either use
  SHOW TABLES/SELECT * FROM I_S.TABLE_NAMES which do not take any metadata
  locks in the process of I_S table filling and thus cannot skip tables or
  execute I_S queries for tables which were previously locked by LOCK TABLES
  (or in the presence of global read lock) which excludes possibility of
  encountering conflicting metadata lock.

  Added test for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE

sql/mysql_priv.h:
  Added a new flag for open_table() call which allows it to fail
  with an error in cases when conflicting metadata lock is discovered
  instead of waiting until this lock goes away.
sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt:
  Added error/warning message to be generated in cases when information
  about table is omitted from I_S since there is conflicting metadata lock
  on the table.

sql/sql_show.cc:
  When we are opening a table (or just .FRM) in order to fill I_S with
  information about this table and encounter conflicting metadata lock
  waiting for this lock to go away can lead to a deadlock in some
  situations (under LOCK TABLES, within transaction, etc.). To avoid
  these deadlocks we detect such situations and don't do waiting.
  Instead, we skip table for which we have conflicting metadata lock,
  thus omitting information about it from I_S table, and produce an
  appropriate warning.

  Fix for bug #46748 "Assertion in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
  on INSERT + CREATE TRIGGER".

  Concurrent execution of statements involving stored functions or triggers
  which were using several tables and DDL statements which affected those
  tables on debug build of server might have led to assertion failures in
  MDL_context::wait_for_locks(). Non-debug build was not affected.

  The problem was that during back-off which happens when open_tables()
  encounters conflicting metadata lock for one of the tables being open
  we didn't reset MDL_request::ticket value for requests which correspond
  to tables from extended prelocking set. Since these requests are part
  of of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context this broke
  assumption that ticket value for them is 0 in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
  and caused assertion failure.

  This fix ensures that close_tables_for_reopen(), which performs this back-off
  resets MDL_request::ticket value not only for tables directly used by the
  statement but also for tables from extended prelocking set, thus satisfying
  assumption described above.

  Since metadata lock requests for tables from extended part of prelocking
  set are also part of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context
  in close_tables_for_reopen() we have to reset MDL_request::ticket 
  values for them to assumptions in MDL_context::wait_for_locks().

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).


mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:
  Add test case result.
mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test:
  Add test case for shared lock upgrade case.
sql/event_db_repository.cc:
  Rename mdl_alloc_lock to mdl_request_alloc.
sql/ha_ndbcluster_binlog.cc:
  Use new function names to initialize MDL lock requests.
sql/lock.cc:
  Rename MDL functions.
sql/log_event.cc:
  The MDL request now holds the table and database name data (MDL_KEY).
sql/mdl.cc:
  Move the MDL key to the MDL_LOCK structure in order to make the
  object suitable for allocation from a fixed-size allocator. This
  allows the simplification of the lists in the MDL_LOCK object,
  which now are just two, one for granted tickets and other for
  waiting (upgraders) tickets.
  
  Recursive requests for a shared lock on the same object can now
  be granted using the same lock ticket. This schema is only used
  for shared locks because that the only case that matters. This
  is used to avoid waste of resources in case a context (connection)
  already holds a shared lock on a object.
sql/mdl.h:
  Introduce a metadata lock object key which is used  to uniquely
  identify lock objects.
  
  Separate the structure used to represent pending lock requests
  from the structure used to represent granted metadata locks.
  
  Rename functions used to manipulate locks requests in order to
  have a more consistent function naming schema.
