The root cause of the crash is that a TranxNode is freed before it is used.
A TranxNode is allocated and inserted into the active list each time
a log event is written and flushed into the binlog file.
The memory for TranxNode is allocated with thd_alloc and will be freed
at the end of the statement. The after_commit/after_rollback callback
was supposed to be called before the end of each statement and remove the node from
the active list. However this assumption is not correct in all cases(e.g. call
'CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myisam_t SELECT * FROM innodb_t' in a transaction
and delete all temporary tables automatically when a session closed),
and can cause the memory allocated for TranxNode be freed
before it was removed from the active list. So The TranxNode pointer in the active
list would become a wild pointer and cause the crash.
After this patch, We have a class called a TranxNodeAllocate which manages the memory
for allocating and freeing TranxNode. It uses my_malloc to allocate memory.
Before this patch, semisync assumed transactions running in parallel
can not be larger than max_connections, but this is not true when
the event scheduler is executing events, and cause semisync run out
of preallocated transaction nodes.
Fix the problem by allocating transaction nodes dynamically.
This patch also fixed a possible deadlock when running UNINSTALL
PLUGIN rpl_semi_sync_master and updating in parallel. Fixed by
releasing the internal Delegate lock before unlock the plugins.
