IN OS_THREAD_EQ rb://977 approved by: Marko Makela rw_lock::writer_thread field contains the thread id of current x-holder or wait-x thread. This field is un-initialized at lock creation and is written to for the first time when an attempt is made to x-lock. Current code considers ::writer_thread as valid memory region only when the lock is held in x-mode (or there is an x-waiter). This is an overkill and it generates valgrind warnings. The fix is to consider ::writer_thread as valid memory region once it has been written to. Reasoning: ========== The ::writer_thread can be safely considered valid because: * We only ever do comparison with current calling threads id. * We only ever do comparison when ::recursive flag is set * We always unset ::recursive flag in x-unlock * Same thread cannot be unlocking and attempting to lock at the same time * thread_id recycling is not an issue because before an id is recycled the thread must leave innodb meaning it must release all locks meaning it must unset ::recursive flag.
