Each time the server reloads privileges containing table grants, the
system will allocate too much memory than needed because of badly
chosen growth prediction in the underlying dynamic arrays.
This patch introduces a new signature to the hash container initializer
which enables a much more pessimistic approach in favour for more
efficient memory useage.
This patch was supplied by Google Inc.
The cause of the crash is an assertion failure that we do not emit
an error message (grant not found) and then return "ok". The
assertion is valid, and we were ignoring the buggy behavior prior
to the "Diagnostics" result-verification.
Use an error handler to mutate innocuous missing-grant errors, when
removing routines, into warnings.
SQL-mode PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH affected mysqld's user-table too. If
enabled, user-name and host were space-padded and no longer matched
the login-data of incoming connexions.
Patch disregards pad-flag while loading privileges so ability to log
in does not depend on SQL-mode.
for wildcard values.
The server ignored escape character before wildcards during
the calculation of priority values for sorting of a privilege
list. (Actually the server counted an escape character as an
ordinary wildcard like % or _). I.e. the table name template
with a wildcard character like 'tbl_1' had higher priority in
a privilege list than concrete table name without wildcards
like 'tbl\_1', and some privileges of 'tbl\_1' was hidden
by privileges for 'tbl_1'.
The get_sort function has been modified to ignore escaped
wildcards as usual.
When issuing a column level grant on a table which require pre-locking the
server crashed.
The reason behind the crash was that data structures used by the lock api
wasn't properly reinitialized in the case of a column level grant.
pre-locking.
The crash was caused by an implicit assumption in check_table_access() that
table_list parameter is always a part of lex->query_tables.
When iterating over the passed list of tables, check_table_access() used
to stop only when lex->query_tables_last_not_own was reached.
In case of pre-locking, lex->query_tables_last_own is not NULL and points
to some element of lex->query_tables. When the parameter
of check_table_access() was not part of lex->query_tables, loop invariant
could never be violated and a crash would happen when the current table
pointer would point beyond the end of the provided list.
The fix is to change the signature of check_table_access() to also accept
a numeric limit of loop iterations, similarly to check_grant(), and
supply this limit in all places when we want to check access of tables
that are outside lex->query_tables, or just want to check access to one table.
The problem is when create/rename/drop users, the statement was logged regardless of error, even if no data has been changed, the statement was logged.
After this patch, create/rename/drop users don't write the binlog if the statement makes no changes, if the statement does make any changes, log the statement with possible error code.
This patch is based on the patch for BUG#29749, which is not pushed
cause ROLLBACK of statement", part 1. Review fixes.
Do not send OK/EOF packets to the client until we reached the end of
the current statement.
This is a consolidation, to keep the functionality that is shared by all
SQL statements in one place in the server.
Currently this functionality includes:
- close_thread_tables()
- log_slow_statement().
After this patch and the subsequent patch for Bug#12713, it shall also include:
- ha_autocommit_or_rollback()
- net_end_statement()
- query_cache_end_of_result().
In future it may also include:
- mysql_reset_thd_for_next_command().
Loading 4.1 into 5.0 or 5.1 failed silently because procs_priv table missing.
This caused the server to crash on any attempt to store new grants because
of uninitialized structures.
This patch breaks up the grant loading function into two phases to allow
for procs_priv table to fail with an warning instead of crashing the server.
partitioned table
Trying INSERT DELAYED on a partitioned table, that has not been
used right before, crashes the server. When a table is used for
select or update, it is kept open for some time. This period I
mean with "right before".
Information about partitioning of a table is stored in form of
a string in the .frm file. Parsing of this string requires a
correctly set up lexical analyzer (lex). The partitioning code
uses a new temporary instance of a lex. But it does still refer
to the previously active lex. The delayd insert thread does not
initialize its lex though...
Added initialization for thd->lex before open table in the delayed
thread and at all other places where it is necessary to call
lex_start() if all tables would be partitioned and need to parse
the .frm file.
Dropping users causes huge increase in memory usage because field values were
allocated on the server memory root for temporary usage but never deallocated.
This patch changes the target memory root to be that of the thread handler
instead since this root is cleared between each statement.
CPUs / Intel's ICC compile
The bug is a combination of two problems:
1. IA64/ICC MySQL binaries use glibc's qsort(), not the one in mysys.
2. The order relation implemented by join_tab_cmp() is not transitive,
i.e. it is possible to choose such a, b and c that (a < b) && (b < c)
but (c < a). This implies that result of a sort using the relation
implemented by join_tab_cmp() depends on the order in which
elements are compared, i.e. the result is implementation-specific. Since
choose_plan() uses qsort() to pre-sort the
join tables using join_tab_cmp() as a compare function, the results of
the sorting may vary depending on qsort() implementation.
It is neither possible nor important to implement a better ordering
algorithm in join_tab_cmp(). Therefore the only way to fix it is to
force our own qsort() to be used by renaming it to my_qsort(), so we don't depend
on linker to decide that.
This patch also "fixes" bug #20530: qsort redefinition violates the
standard.
When expanding a * in a USING/NATURAL join the check for table access
for both tables in the join was done using the grant information of the
first one.
Fixed by getting the grant information for the current table while
iterating through the columns of the join.
clean up SHOW GRANTS so it will show host-names with case as entered.
make REVOKE and friends case-sensitive to make things more intuitive.
