Since the mtr_t struct is marked as invalid in DEBUG_VALGRIND build
during mtr_commit, checking mtr->inside_ibuf will cause this warning.
Also since mtr->inside_ibuf cannot be set in mtr_commit (assert check)
and mtr->state is set to MTR_COMMITTED, the 'ut_ad(!ibuf_inside(&mtr))'
check is not needed if 'ut_ad(mtr.state == MTR_COMMITTED)' is also
checked.
IN STORED ROUTINE
Inside a loop in a stored procedure, we create a partitioned
table. The CREATE statement is thus treated as a prepared statement:
it is prepared once, and then executed by each iteration. Thus its Lex
is reused many times. This Lex contains a part_info member, which
describes how the partitions should be laid out, including the
partitioning function. Each execution of the CREATE does this, in
open_table_from_share ():
tmp= mysql_unpack_partition(thd, share->partition_info_str,
share->partition_info_str_len,
outparam, is_create_table,
share->default_part_db_type,
&work_part_info_used);
...
tmp= fix_partition_func(thd, outparam, is_create_table);
The first line calls init_lex_with_single_table() which creates
a TABLE_LIST, necessary for the "field fixing" which will be
done by the second line; this is how it is created:
if ((!(table_ident= new Table_ident(thd,
table->s->db,
table->s->table_name, TRUE))) ||
(!(table_list= select_lex->add_table_to_list(thd,
table_ident,
NULL,
0))))
return TRUE;
it is allocated in the execution memory root.
Then the partitioning function ("id", stored in Lex -> part_info)
is fixed, which calls Item_ident:: fix_fields (), which resolves
"id" to the table_list above, and stores in the item's
cached_table a pointer to this table_list.
The table is created, later it is dropped by another statement,
then we execute again the prepared CREATE. This reuses the Lex,
thus also its part_info, thus also the item representing the
partitioning function (part_info is cloned but it's a shallow
cloning); CREATE wants to fix the item again (which is
normal, every execution fixes items again), fix_fields ()
sees that the cached_table pointer is set and picks up the
pointed table_list. But this last object does not exist
anymore (it was allocated in the execution memory root of
the previous execution, so it has been freed), so we access
invalid memory.
The solution: when creating the table_list, mark that it
cannot be cached.
OF OLD STYLE DECIMALS
Problem: In RBR, Slave is unable to read row buffer
properly when the row event contains MYSQL_TYPE_DECIMAL
(old style decimals) data type column.
Analysis: In RBR, Slave assumes that Master sends
meta data information for all column types like
text,blob,varchar,old decimal,new decimal,float,
and few other types along with row buffer event.
But Master is not sending this meta data information
for old style decimal columns. Hence Slave is crashing
due to unknown precision value for these column types.
Master cannot send this precision value to Slave which
will break replication cross-version compatibility.
Fix: To fix the crash, Slave will now throw error if it
receives old-style decimal datatype. User should
consider changing the old-style decimal to new style
decimal data type by executing "ALTER table modify column"
query as mentioned in http://dev.mysql.com/
doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html.
Problem:
=======
It was detected an incorrect behavior of my_strtoll10 function when
converting strings with numbers in the following format:
"184467440XXXXXXXXXYY"
Where XXXXXXXXX > 737095516 and YY <= 15
Samples of problematic numbers:
"18446744073709551915"
"18446744073709552001"
Instead of returning the larger unsigned long long value and setting overflow
in the returned error code, my_strtoll10 function returns the lower 64-bits
of the evaluated number and did not set overflow in the returned error code.
Analysis:
========
Once trying to fix bug 16820156, I've found this bug in the overflow check of
my_strtoll10 function.
This function, once receiving a string with an integer number larger than
18446744073709551615 (the larger unsigned long long number) should return the
larger unsigned long long number and set overflow in the returned error code.
Because of a wrong overflow evaluation, the function didn't catch the
overflow cases where (i == cutoff) && (j > cutoff2) && (k <= cutoff3). When
the overflow evaluation fails, the function return the lower 64-bits of the
evaluated number and do not set overflow in the returned error code.
Fix:
===
Corrected the overflow evaluation in my_strtoll10.
Description:
Original fix Bug#11765744 changed mutex to read write lock
to avoid multiple recursive lock acquire operation on
LOCK_status mutex.
On Windows, locking read-write lock recursively is not safe.
Slim read-write locks, which MySQL uses if they are supported by
Windows version, do not support recursion according to their
documentation. For our own implementation of read-write lock,
which is used in cases when Windows version doesn't support SRW,
recursive locking of read-write lock can easily lead to deadlock
if there are concurrent lock requests.
Fix:
This patch reverts the previous fix for bug#11765744 that used
read-write locks. Instead problem of recursive locking for
LOCK_status mutex is solved by tracking recursion level using
counter in THD object and acquiring lock only once when we enter
fill_status() function first time.

SHUTDOWN IS IN PROGRESS
PROBLEM
-------
In the background thread srv_master_thread() we have a
a one second delay loop which will continuously monitor
server activity .If the server is inactive (with out any
user activity) or in a shutdown state we do some background
activity like flushing the changes.In the current code
we are not checking if server is in shutdown state before
sleeping for one second.
FIX
---
If server is in shutdown state ,then dont go to one second
sleep.
PARTITIONS.
ANALYSIS
--------
Whenever we query I_S.partitions,
ha_partition::get_dynamic_partition_info()
is called which resets the cardinality
according to the number of rows in last
partition.
Fix
---
When we call get_dynamic_partition_info()
avoid passing the flag HA_STATUS_CONST
to info() since HA_STATUS_CONST should
ideally not be called for per partition.

IN TIME RECOVERY FAILURE ON SLAVES
Problem:
DROP TEMP TABLE IF EXISTS commands can cause point
in time recovery (re-applying binlog) failures.
Analyses:
In RBR, 'DROP TEMPORARY TABLE' commands are
always binlogged by adding 'IF EXISTS' clauses.
Also, the slave SQL thread will not check replicate.* filter
rules for "DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS" queries.
If log-slave-updates is enabled on slave, these queries
will be binlogged in the format of "USE `db`;
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS `t1`;" irrespective
of filtering rules and irrespective of the `db` existence.
When users try to recover slave from it's own binlog,
use `db` command might fail if `db` is not present on slave.
Fix:
At the time of writing the 'DROP TEMPORARY TABLE
IF EXISTS' query into the binlog, 'use `db`' will not be
present and the table name in the query will be a fully
qualified table name.
Eg:
'USE `db`; DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS `t1`;'
will be logged as
'DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS `db`.`t1`;'.
Problem:
When the user specified foreign key name contains "_ibfk_", InnoDB wrongly
tries to rename it.
Solution:
When a table is renamed, all its associated foreign keys will also be renamed,
only if the foreign key names are automatically generated. If the foreign key
names are given by the user, even if it has _ibfk_ in it, it must not be
renamed.

TO DUMP DATA FROM MYSQL-5.6
Analysis
--------
Dumping mysql-5.6 data using mysql-5.1/mysql-5.5 'myqldump'
utility fails with a syntax error.
Server system variable 'sql_quote_show_create' which quotes the
identifiers is set in the mysqldump utility. The mysldump utility
of mysql-5.1/mysql-5.5 uses deprecated syntax 'SET OPTION' to set
the 'sql_quote_show_create' option. The support for the syntax is
removed in mysql-5.6. Hence syntax error is reported while taking
the dump.
Fix:
---
Changed the 'mysqldump' code to use the syntax
'SET SQL_QUOTE_SHOW_CREATE' to set the 'sql_quote_show_create'
option. That syntax is supported on mysql-5.1, mysql-5.5 and
mysql-5.6.
NOTE: I have not added an mtr test case since it is difficult
to simulate the condition. Also the syntax may not be further
simplified in the future.
SERIALIZABLE
Problem:
The documentation claims that WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT will work for both
REPEATABLE READ and SERIALIZABLE isolation levels. But it will work only
for REPEATABLE READ isolation level. Also, the clause WITH CONSISTENT
SNAPSHOT is silently ignored when it is not applicable to the given isolation
level.
Solution:
Generate a warning when the clause WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT is ignored.

Note: Support team wanted to push this to 5.5+.
MULTI-FILE TABLESPACE
ANALYSIS
--------
When a tablespace has multiple data files, InnoDB fails to
open the tablespace. This is because for each ibd file,
the first page is checked.But the first page of all ibd file
need not be the first page of the tablespace. Only the first
page of the tablespace contains the tablespace header. When
we check the first page of an ibd file that is not the first
page of the tablespace, then the "tablespace flags" is not
really available.This was wrongly used to check if a page is
corrupt or not.
FIX
---
Use the tablespace flags only if the page number is 0
in a tablespace.

WITH UTF8_UNICODE_CI COLLATION
Problem Description:
When comparing datetime values with strings, the utf8_unicode_ci collation
prevents correct comparisons. Consider the below set of queries, it is not
showing any results on a table which has tuples that satisfies the query.
But for collation utf8_general_ci it shows one tuple.
set names utf8 collate utf8_unicode_ci;;
select * from lang where dt='1979-12-09';
Analysis:
The comparison function is not chosen in case of collation utf8_unicode_ci.
In agg_item_set_converter() because the collation state is having
"MY_CS_NONASCII" for collation type "utf8_unicode_ci". The conversion
of the collation is happening for the date field. And because of that
it is unable to pickup proper compare function(i.e CMP_DATE_WITH_STR).
Actually the bug is accidentally introduced by the WL#3759 in 5.5.
And in 5.6 it is been fixed by the WL#3664.
Fix:
I have backported the changes from the file strings/ctype-uca.c which
are related to "utf8" introduced by the WL#3664.
This change helps in choosing the correct comparison function for all
the collations of utf8 charset.
ALTER TABLE ... ALGORITHM= ... STATEMENT
The problem was an intermediate buffer of smaller size,
which truncated the alter statement.
Solved by providing the size of the buffer to be allocated through
the function call, instead of using an one-size-fits-all stack buffer
inside the function.
Bug16785036 - RPM REQUIRES: MISSING PACKAGES ON RHEL 6 (AND PROBABLY 5)
Bug 16878042 - CANNOT KEEP SEVERAL MAJOR VERSIONS OF MYSQL IN THE SAME YUM REPOSITORY
Problem:
The problem is that explain_filename-t is not printing a test plan as
required by the TAP protocol. The test invokes plan(NO_PLAN) but does not
invoke exit_status() at the end, where the plan would be printed.
Solution:
Invoke exit_status() at the end.
