Bug #46654 False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions,
inconsistent behavior
The problem was that if one connection is running a multi-statement
transaction which involves a single partitioned table, and another
connection attempts to alter the table, the first connection gets
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and cannot proceed anymore, even when the ALTER TABLE
statement in another connection has timed out or failed.
The reason for this was that the prepare phase for ALTER TABLE for
partitioned tables removed all instances of the table from the table
definition cache before it started waiting on the lock. The transaction
running in the first connection would notice this and report ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK.
This patch changes the prep_alter_part_table() ALTER TABLE code so that
tdc_remove_table() is no longer called. Instead, only the TABLE instance
changed by prep_alter_part_table() is marked as needing reopen.
The patch also removes an unnecessary call to tdc_remove_table() from
mysql_unpack_partition() as the changed TABLE object is destroyed by the
caller at a later point.
Test case added in partition_sync.test.

Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order
WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking
Currently the MySQL server does not keep metadata locks on
schema objects for the duration of a transaction, thus failing
to guarantee the integrity of the schema objects being used
during the transaction and to protect then from concurrent
DDL operations. This also poses a problem for replication as
a DDL operation might be replicated even thought there are
active transactions using the object being modified.
The solution is to defer the release of metadata locks until
a active transaction is either committed or rolled back. This
prevents other statements from modifying the table for the
entire duration of the transaction. This provides commitment
ordering for guaranteeing serializability across multiple
transactions.
- Incompatible change:
If MySQL's metadata locking system encounters a lock conflict,
the usual schema is to use the try and back-off technique to
avoid deadlocks -- this schema consists in releasing all locks
and trying to acquire them all in one go.
But in a transactional context this algorithm can't be utilized
as its not possible to release locks acquired during the course
of the transaction without breaking the transaction commitments.
To avoid deadlocks in this case, the ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK will be
returned if a lock conflict is encountered during a transaction.
Let's consider an example:
A transaction has two statements that modify table t1, then table
t2, and then commits. The first statement of the transaction will
acquire a shared metadata lock on table t1, and it will be kept
utill COMMIT to ensure serializability.
At the moment when the second statement attempts to acquire a
shared metadata lock on t2, a concurrent ALTER or DROP statement
might have locked t2 exclusively. The prescription of the current
locking protocol is that the acquirer of the shared lock backs off
-- gives up all his current locks and retries. This implies that
the entire multi-statement transaction has to be rolled back.
- Incompatible change:
FLUSH commands such as FLUSH PRIVILEGES and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK won't cause locked tables to be implicitly unlocked anymore.

Backport of revno: 2617.68.35
The problem was that if one connection is running a multi-statement
transaction which involves a single partitioned table, and another
connection attempts to alter the table to drop a non-existing partition,
(which of course will fail), the first connection still gets
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and cannot proceed anymore.
This bug is no longer reproducable. This has also been tested with the
patch for Bug#46654 "False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions,
inconsistent behavior" which concerned a similar problem but where the
ALTER TABLE is semantically correct.
Test case added in partition_sync.test.
