MDL deadlock detector". Deadlock could have occurred when workload containing mix of DML, DDL and FLUSH TABLES statements affecting same set of tables was executed in heavily concurrent environment. This deadlock occurred when several connections tried to perform deadlock detection in metadata locking subsystem. The first connection started traversing wait-for graph, encountered sub-graph representing wait for flush, acquired LOCK_open and dived into sub-graph inspection. When it has encounterd sub-graph corresponding to wait for metadata lock and blocked while trying to acquire rd-lock on MDL_lock::m_rwlock (*) protecting this subgraph, since some other thread had wr-lock on it. When this wr-lock was released it could have happened (if there was other pending wr-lock against this rwlock) that rd-lock from the first connection was left unsatisfied but at the same time new rd-lock request from the second connection sneaked in and was satisfied (for this to be possible second rd- request should come exactly after wr-lock is released but before pending wr-lock manages to grab rwlock, which is possible both on Linux and in our own rwlock implementation). If this second connection continued traversing wait-for graph and encountered sub-graph representing wait for flush it tried to acquire LOCK_open and thus deadlock was created. This patch tries to workaround this problem but not allowing deadlock detector to lock LOCK_open mutex if some other thread doing deadlock detection already owns it and current search depth is greater than 0. Instead deadlock is reported. Other possible solutions are either known to have negative effects on performance or require much more time for proper implementation and testing. No test case is provided as this bug is very hard to repeat in MTR environment but is repeatable with the help of RQG tests.
