Deadlock occured when during execution of query to I_S we tried to open a table or its .FRM in order to get information about it and had to wait because we have encountered exclusive metadata lock on this table held by a DDL operation from another connection which in its turn waited for some resource currently owned by connection executing this I_S query. For example, this might have happened if one under LOCK TABLES executed I_S query targeted to particular table (which was not among locked) and also concurrently tried to create this table using CREATE TABLE SELECT which had to wait for one of tables locked by the first connection. Another situation in which deadlock might have occured is when I_S query, which was executed as part of transaction, tried to get information about table which just has been dropped by concurrent DROP TABLES executed under LOCK TABLES and this DROP TABLES for its completion also had to wait transaction from the first connection. This problem stemmed from the fact that opening of tables/.FRMs for I_S filling is happening outside of connection's main MDL_context so code which tries to detect deadlocks due to conflicting metadata locks doesn't work in this case. Indeed, this led to deadlocks when during I_S filling we tried to wait for conflicting metadata lock to go away, while its owner was waiting for some resource held by connection executing I_S query. This patch solves this problem by avoiding waiting in such situation. Instead we skip this table and produce warning that information about it was omitted from I_S due to concurrent DDL operation. We still wait for conflicting metadata lock to go away when it is known that deadlock is not possible (i.e. when connection executing I_S query does not hold any metadata or table-level locks). Basically, we apply our standard deadlock avoidance technique for metadata locks to the process of filling of I_S tables but replace ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error with a warning. Note that this change is supposed to be safe for 'mysqldump' since the only its mode which is affected by this change is --single-transaction mode is not safe in the presence of concurrent DDL anyway (and this fact is documented). Other modes are unaffected because they either use SHOW TABLES/SELECT * FROM I_S.TABLE_NAMES which do not take any metadata locks in the process of I_S table filling and thus cannot skip tables or execute I_S queries for tables which were previously locked by LOCK TABLES (or in the presence of global read lock) which excludes possibility of encountering conflicting metadata lock. mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result: Added test for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE HIGH_PRIORITY FOR UPDATE". mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test: Added test for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE HIGH_PRIORITY FOR UPDATE". sql/mysql_priv.h: Added a new flag for open_table() call which allows it to fail with an error in cases when conflicting metadata lock is discovered instead of waiting until this lock goes away. sql/share/errmsg-utf8.txt: Added error/warning message to be generated in cases when information about table is omitted from I_S since there is conflicting metadata lock on the table. sql/share/errmsg.txt: Added error/warning message to be generated in cases when information about table is omitted from I_S since there is conflicting metadata lock on the table. sql/sql_base.cc: Added a new flag for open_table() call which allows it to fail with an error in cases when conflicting metadata lock is discovered instead of waiting until this lock goes away. sql/sql_show.cc: When we are opening a table (or just .FRM) in order to fill I_S with information about this table and encounter conflicting metadata lock waiting for this lock to go away can lead to a deadlock in some situations (under LOCK TABLES, within transaction, etc.). To avoid these deadlocks we detect such situations and don't do waiting. Instead, we skip table for which we have conflicting metadata lock, thus omitting information about it from I_S table, and produce an appropriate warning.
