In the ON UPDATE CASCADE clause of FOREIGN KEY constraints, the
calculated update vector was not fully initialized. This bug was
introduced in the InnoDB Plugin when implementing support for
ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC.
Additionally, the data type information was not initialized, but
apparently it has never been needed in this case. Nevertheless, it is
not good programming practice to pass uninitialized values around.
calc_row_difference(): Declare the update field uninitialized in
Valgrind. Copy the data type information as well, except when the
field is SQL NULL. In the built-in InnoDB, initialize
ufield->extern_storage = FALSE (an initialization bug that had gone
unnoticed this far). The InnoDB Plugin and later have this flag to
dfield_t and have always initialized it properly.
row_ins_cascade_calc_update_vec(): Reduce the scope of some
pointers. Initialize orig_len. (This caused the bug in InnoDB Plugin
and later.)
row_ins_foreign_check_on_constraint(): Simplify a condition. Declare
the update vector uninitialized.
