for ALTER TABLE + MERGE tables The patch for Bug#56292 changed how metadata locks are taken for MERGE tables. After the patch, locking the MERGE table will also lock the children tables with the same metadata lock type. This means that LOCK TABLES on a MERGE table also will implicitly do LOCK TABLES on the children tables. A consequence of this change, is that it is possible to do LOCK TABLES on a child table both explicitly and implicitly with the same statement and that these two locks can be of different strength. For example, LOCK TABLES child READ, merge WRITE. In LOCK TABLES mode, we are not allowed to take new locks and each statement must therefore try to find an existing TABLE instance with a suitable lock. The code that searched for a suitable TABLE instance, only considered table level locks. If a child table was locked twice, it was therefore possible for this code to find a TABLE instance with suitable table level locks but without suitable metadata lock. This problem caused the assert in upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() to be triggered as it tried to upgrade a MDL_SHARED lock to EXCLUSIVE. The problem was a regression caused by the patch for Bug#56292. This patch fixes the problem by partially reverting the changes done by Bug#56292. Now, the children tables will only use the same metadata lock as the MERGE table for MDL_SHARED_NO_WRITE when not in locked tables mode. This means that LOCK TABLE on a MERGE table will not implicitly lock the children tables. This still fixes the original problem in Bug#56292 without causing a regression. Test case added to merge.test.
