Alfranio Correia 2d84c1553c BUG#56343 binlog_cache_use status is bigger than expected
The binlog_cache_use is incremented twice when changes to a transactional table
are committed, i.e. TC_LOG_BINLOG::log_xid calls is called. The problem happens
because log_xid calls both binlog_flush_stmt_cache and binlog_flush_trx_cache
without checking if such caches are empty thus unintentionally increasing the
binlog_cache_use value twice.

Although not explicitly mentioned in the bug, the binlog_cache_disk_use presents
the same problem.

The binlog_cache_use and binlog_cache_disk_use are status variables that are
incremented when transactional (i.e. trx-cache) or non-transactional (i.e.
stmt-cache) changes are committed. They are used to compute the ratio between
the use of disk and memory while gathering updates for a transaction.

The problem reported is fixed by avoiding incrementing the binlog_cache_use
and binlog_cache_disk_use if a cache is empty. We also have decided to increment
both variables when a cache is truncated as the cache is used although its
content is discarded and is not written to the binary log.

In this patch, we take the opportunity to re-organize the code around the
function binlog_flush_trx_cache and binlog_flush_stmt_cache.

mysql-test/extra/binlog_tests/binlog_cache_stat.test:
  Updated the test case with comments and additional tests to check both
  transactional and non-transactional changes and what happens when a 
  is transaction either committed or aborted.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_innodb.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_mixed_cache_stat.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_row_cache_stat.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/r/binlog_stm_cache_stat.result:
  Updated the result file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/t/binlog_mixed_cache_stat.test:
  Updated the test case with a new source file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/t/binlog_row_cache_stat.test:
  Updated the test case with a new source file.
mysql-test/suite/binlog/t/binlog_stm_cache_stat.test:
  Updated the test case with a new source file.
sql/log.cc:
  There are four changes in here:
  
    . Computed statistics on binlog_cache_use and binlog_cache_disk_use while
    resting the cache.
  
    . Refactored the code so binlog_flush_cache handles both the trx-cache and
    stmt-cache.
  
    . There are functions that encapsulate the calls to binlog_flush_cache and
    make easier to read the code.
  
    . binlog_commit_flush_stmt_cache is now taking into account the result:
    success or error.
sql/log_event.h:
  Guaranteed Xid_log_event is always classified as a transactional event.

This directory contains a test suite for the MySQL daemon. To run
the currently existing test cases, simply execute ./mysql-test-run in
this directory. It will fire up the newly built mysqld and test it.

Note that you do not have to have to do "make install", and you could
actually have a co-existing MySQL installation. The tests will not
conflict with it.

All tests must pass. If one or more of them fail on your system, please
read the following manual section for instructions on how to report the
problem:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-test-suite.html

If you want to use an already running MySQL server for specific tests,
use the --extern option to mysql-test-run. Please note that in this mode,
the test suite expects you to provide the names of the tests to run.
For example, here is the command to run the "alias" and "analyze" tests
with an external server:

mysql-test-run --extern alias analyze

To match your setup, you might also need to provide --socket, --user, and
other relevant options.

With no test cases named on the command line, mysql-test-run falls back
to the normal "non-extern" behavior. The reason for this is that some
tests cannot run with an external server.


You can create your own test cases. To create a test case, create a new
file in the t subdirectory using a text editor. The file should have a .test
extension. For example:

 xemacs t/test_case_name.test

 In the file, put a set of SQL statements that create some tables,
 load test data, and run some queries to manipulate it.

 We would appreciate it if you name your test tables t1, t2, t3 ... (to not
 conflict too much with existing tables).

 Your test should begin by dropping the tables you are going to create and
 end by dropping them again.  This ensures that you can run the test over
 and over again.
 
 If you are using mysqltest commands (like result file names) in your
 test case, you should create the result file as follows:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 or

 mysqltest --record < t/test_case_name.test

 If you only have a simple test cases consisting of SQL statements and
 comments, you can create the test case in one of the following ways:

 mysql-test-run --record test_case_name

 mysql test < t/test_case_name.test > r/test_case_name.result

 mysqltest --record --record-file=r/test_case_name.result < t/test_case_name.test

 When this is done, take a look at r/test_case_name.result
 - If the result is incorrect, you have found a bug. In this case, you should
   edit the test result to the correct results so that we can verify
   that the bug is corrected in future releases.

To submit your test case, put your .test file and .result file(s) into
a tar.gz archive, add a README that explains the problem, ftp the 
archive to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/ and send a mail
to bugs@lists.mysql.com
