Patch that refactors global read lock implementation and fixes
bug #57006 "Deadlock between HANDLER and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK" and bug #54673 "It takes too long to get readlock for
'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK'".
The first bug manifested itself as a deadlock which occurred
when a connection, which had some table open through HANDLER
statement, tried to update some data through DML statement
while another connection tried to execute FLUSH TABLES WITH
READ LOCK concurrently.
What happened was that FTWRL in the second connection managed
to perform first step of GRL acquisition and thus blocked all
upcoming DML. After that it started to wait for table open
through HANDLER statement to be flushed. When the first connection
tried to execute DML it has started to wait for GRL/the second
connection creating deadlock.
The second bug manifested itself as starvation of FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK statements in cases when there was a constant
stream of concurrent DML statements (in two or more
connections).
This has happened because requests for protection against GRL
which were acquired by DML statements were ignoring presence of
pending GRL and thus the latter was starved.
This patch solves both these problems by re-implementing GRL
using metadata locks.
Similar to the old implementation acquisition of GRL in new
implementation is two-step. During the first step we block
all concurrent DML and DDL statements by acquiring global S
metadata lock (each DML and DDL statement acquires global IX
lock for its duration). During the second step we block commits
by acquiring global S lock in COMMIT namespace (commit code
acquires global IX lock in this namespace).
Note that unlike in old implementation acquisition of
protection against GRL in DML and DDL is semi-automatic.
We assume that any statement which should be blocked by GRL
will either open and acquires write-lock on tables or acquires
metadata locks on objects it is going to modify. For any such
statement global IX metadata lock is automatically acquired
for its duration.
The first problem is solved because waits for GRL become
visible to deadlock detector in metadata locking subsystem
and thus deadlocks like one in the first bug become impossible.
The second problem is solved because global S locks which
are used for GRL implementation are given preference over
IX locks which are acquired by concurrent DML (and we can
switch to fair scheduling in future if needed).
Important change:
FTWRL/GRL no longer blocks DML and DDL on temporary tables.
Before this patch behavior was not consistent in this respect:
in some cases DML/DDL statements on temporary tables were
blocked while in others they were not. Since the main use cases
for FTWRL are various forms of backups and temporary tables are
not preserved during backups we have opted for consistently
allowing DML/DDL on temporary tables during FTWRL/GRL.
Important change:
This patch changes thread state names which are used when
DML/DDL of FTWRL is waiting for global read lock. It is now
either "Waiting for global read lock" or "Waiting for commit
lock" depending on the stage on which FTWRL is.
Incompatible change:
To solve deadlock in events code which was exposed by this
patch we have to replace LOCK_event_metadata mutex with
metadata locks on events. As result we have to prohibit
DDL on events under LOCK TABLES.
This patch also adds extensive test coverage for interaction
of DML/DDL and FTWRL.
Performance of new and old global read lock implementations
in sysbench tests were compared. There were no significant
difference between new and old implementations.

sql/event_data_objects.cc:
Removed Event_queue_element::status/last_executed_changed
members and Event_queue_element::update_timing_fields()
method. We no longer use this class for updating mysql.events
once event is chosen for execution. Accesses to instances of
this class in scheduler thread require protection by
Event_queue::LOCK_event_queue mutex and we try to avoid
updating table while holding this lock.
sql/event_data_objects.h:
Removed Event_queue_element::status/last_executed_changed
members and Event_queue_element::update_timing_fields()
method. We no longer use this class for updating mysql.events
once event is chosen for execution. Accesses to instances of
this class in scheduler thread require protection by
Event_queue::LOCK_event_queue mutex and we try to avoid
updating table while holding this lock.
sql/event_db_repository.cc:
- Changed Event_db_repository methods to not release all
metadata locks once they are done updating mysql.events
table. This allows to keep metadata lock protecting
against GRL and lock protecting particular event around
until corresponding DDL statement is written to the binary
log.
- Removed logic for conditional update of "status" and
"last_executed" fields from update_timing_fields_for_event()
method. In the only case when this method is called now
"last_executed" is always modified and tracking change
of "status" is too much hassle.
sql/event_db_repository.h:
Removed logic for conditional update of "status" and
"last_executed" fields from Event_db_repository::
update_timing_fields_for_event() method.
In the only case when this method is called now "last_executed"
is always modified and tracking change of "status" field is
too much hassle.
sql/event_queue.cc:
Changed event scheduler code not to update mysql.events
table while holding Event_queue::LOCK_event_queue mutex.
Doing so led to a deadlock with a new GRL implementation.
This deadlock didn't occur with old implementation due to
fact that code acquiring protection against GRL ignored
pending GRL requests (which lead to GRL starvation).
One of goals of new implementation is to disallow GRL
starvation and so we have to solve problem with this
deadlock in a different way.
sql/events.cc:
Changed methods of Events class to acquire protection
against GRL while perfoming DDL statement and keep it
until statement is written to the binary log.
Unfortunately this step together with new GRL implementation
exposed deadlock involving Events::LOCK_event_metadata
and GRL. To solve it Events::LOCK_event_metadata mutex was
replaced with a metadata lock on event. As a side-effect
events DDL has to be prohibited under LOCK TABLES even in
cases when mysql.events table was explicitly locked for
write.
sql/events.h:
Replaced Events::LOCK_event_metadata mutex with a metadata
lock on event.
sql/ha_ndbcluster.cc:
Updated code after replacing custom global read lock
implementation with one based on MDL. Since MDL subsystem
should now be able to detect deadlocks involving metadata
locks and GRL there is no need for special handling of
active GRL.
sql/handler.cc:
Replaced custom implementation of global read lock with
one based on metadata locks. Consequently when doing
commit instead of calling method of Global_read_lock
class to acquire protection against GRL we simply acquire
IX in COMMIT namespace.
sql/lock.cc:
Replaced custom implementation of global read lock with
one based on metadata locks. This step allows to expose
wait for GRL to deadlock detector of MDL subsystem and
thus succesfully resolve deadlocks similar to one behind
bug #57006 "Deadlock between HANDLER and FLUSH TABLES
WITH READ LOCK". It also solves problem with GRL starvation
described in bug #54673 "It takes too long to get readlock
for 'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK'" since metadata locks used
by GRL give preference to FTWRL statement instead of DML
statements (if needed in future this can be changed to
fair scheduling).
Similar to old implementation of acquisition of GRL is
two-step. During the first step we block all concurrent
DML and DDL statements by acquiring global S metadata lock
(each DML and DDL statement acquires global IX lock for
its duration). During the second step we block commits by
acquiring global S lock in COMMIT namespace (commit code
acquires global IX lock in this namespace).
Note that unlike in old implementation acquisition of
protection against GRL in DML and DDL is semi-automatic.
We assume that any statement which should be blocked by GRL
will either open and acquires write-lock on tables or acquires
metadata locks on objects it is going to modify. For any such
statement global IX metadata lock is automatically acquired
for its duration.
To support this change:
- Global_read_lock::lock/unlock_global_read_lock and
make_global_read_lock_block_commit methods were changed
accordingly.
- Global_read_lock::wait_if_global_read_lock() and
start_waiting_global_read_lock() methods were dropped.
It is now responsibility of code acquiring metadata locks
opening tables to acquire protection against GRL by
explicitly taking global IX lock with statement duration.
- Global variables, mutex and condition variable used by
old implementation was removed.
- lock_routine_name() was changed to use statement duration for
its global IX lock. It was also renamed to lock_object_name()
as it now also used to take metadata locks on events.
- Global_read_lock::set_explicit_lock_duration() was added which
allows not to release locks used for GRL when leaving prelocked
mode.
sql/lock.h:
- Renamed lock_routine_name() to lock_object_name() and changed
its signature to allow its usage for events.
- Removed broadcast_refresh() function. It is no longer needed
with new GRL implementation.
sql/log_event.cc:
Release metadata locks with statement duration at the end
of processing legacy event for LOAD DATA. This ensures that
replication thread processing such event properly releases
its protection against global read lock.
sql/mdl.cc:
Changed MDL subsystem to support new MDL-based implementation
of global read lock.
Added COMMIT and EVENTS namespaces for metadata locks. Changed
thread state name for GLOBAL namespace to "Waiting for global
read lock".
Optimized MDL_map::find_or_insert() method to avoid taking
m_mutex mutex when looking up MDL_lock objects for GLOBAL
or COMMIT namespaces. We keep pre-created MDL_lock objects
for these namespaces around and simply return pointers to
these global objects when needed.
Changed MDL_lock/MDL_scoped_lock to properly handle
notification of insert delayed handler threads when FTWRL
takes global S lock.
Introduced concept of lock duration. In addition to locks with
transaction duration which work in the way which is similar to
how locks worked before (i.e. they are released at the end of
transaction), locks with statement and explicit duration were
introduced.
Locks with statement duration are automatically released at the
end of statement. Locks with explicit duration require explicit
release and obsolete concept of transactional sentinel.
* Changed MDL_request and MDL_ticket classes to support notion
of duration.
* Changed MDL_context to keep locks with different duration in
different lists. Changed code handling ticket list to take
this into account.
* Changed methods responsible for releasing locks to take into
account duration of tickets. Particularly public
MDL_context::release_lock() method now only can release
tickets with explicit duration (there is still internal
method which allows to specify duration). To release locks
with statement or transaction duration one have to use
release_statement/transactional_locks() methods.
* Concept of savepoint for MDL subsystem now has to take into
account locks with statement duration. Consequently
MDL_savepoint class was introduced and methods working with
savepoints were updated accordingly.
* Added methods which allow to set duration for one or all
locks in the context.
sql/mdl.h:
Changed MDL subsystem to support new MDL-based implementation
of global read lock.
Added COMMIT and EVENTS namespaces for metadata locks.
Introduced concept of lock duration. In addition to locks with
transaction duration which work in the way which is similar to
how locks worked before (i.e. they are released at the end of
transaction), locks with statement and explicit duration were
introduced.
Locks with statement duration are automatically released at the
end of statement. Locks with explicit duration require explicit
release and obsolete concept of transactional sentinel.
* Changed MDL_request and MDL_ticket classes to support notion
of duration.
* Changed MDL_context to keep locks with different duration in
different lists. Changed code handling ticket list to take
this into account.
* Changed methods responsible for releasing locks to take into
account duration of tickets. Particularly public
MDL_context::release_lock() method now only can release
tickets with explicit duration (there is still internal
method which allows to specify duration). To release locks
with statement or transaction duration one have to use
release_statement/transactional_locks() methods.
* Concept of savepoint for MDL subsystem now has to take into
account locks with statement duration. Consequently
MDL_savepoint class was introduced and methods working with
savepoints were updated accordingly.
* Added methods which allow to set duration for one or all
locks in the context.
sql/mysqld.cc:
Removed global mutex and condition variables which were used
by old implementation of GRL.
Also we no longer need to initialize Events::LOCK_event_metadata
mutex as it was replaced with metadata locks on events.
sql/mysqld.h:
Removed global variable, mutex and condition variables which
were used by old implementation of GRL.
sql/rpl_rli.cc:
When slave thread closes tables which were open for handling
of RBR events ensure that it releases global IX lock which
was acquired as protection against GRL.
sql/sp.cc:
Adjusted code to the new signature of lock_object/routine_name(),
to the fact that one now needs specify duration of lock when
initializing MDL_request and to the fact that savepoints for MDL
subsystem are now represented by MDL_savepoint class.
sql/sp_head.cc:
Ensure that statements in stored procedures release statement
metadata locks and thus release their protectiong against GRL
in proper moment in time.
Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request.
sql/sql_admin.cc:
Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request.
sql/sql_base.cc:
- Implemented support for new approach to acquiring protection
against global read lock. We no longer acquire such protection
explicitly on the basis of statement flags. Instead we always
rely on code which is responsible for acquiring metadata locks
on object to be changed acquiring this protection. This is
achieved by acquiring global IX metadata lock with statement
duration. Code doing this also responsible for checking that
current connection has no active GRL by calling an
Global_read_lock::can_acquire_protection() method.
Changed code in open_table() and lock_table_names()
accordingly.
Note that as result of this change DDL and DML on temporary
tables is always compatible with GRL (before it was
incompatible in some cases and compatible in other cases).
- To speed-up code acquiring protection against GRL introduced
m_has_protection_against_grl member in Open_table_context
class. It indicates that protection was already acquired
sometime during open_tables() execution and new attempts
can be skipped.
- Thanks to new GRL implementation calls to broadcast_refresh()
became unnecessary and were removed.
- Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request and to the fact that
savepoints for MDL subsystem are now represented by
MDL_savepoint class.
sql/sql_base.h:
Adjusted code to the fact that savepoints for MDL subsystem are
now represented by MDL_savepoint class.
Also introduced Open_table_context::m_has_protection_against_grl
member which allows to avoid acquiring protection against GRL
while opening tables if such protection was already acquired.
sql/sql_class.cc:
Changed THD::leave_locked_tables_mode() after transactional
sentinel for metadata locks was obsoleted by introduction of
locks with explicit duration.
sql/sql_class.h:
- Adjusted code to the fact that savepoints for MDL subsystem
are now represented by MDL_savepoint class.
- Changed Global_read_lock class according to changes in
global read lock implementation:
* wait_if_global_read_lock and start_waiting_global_read_lock
are now gone. Instead code needing protection against GRL
has to acquire global IX metadata lock with statement
duration itself. To help it new can_acquire_protection()
was introduced. Also as result of the above change
m_protection_count member is gone too.
* Added m_mdl_blocks_commits_lock member to store metadata
lock blocking commits.
* Adjusted code to the fact that concept of transactional
sentinel was obsoleted by concept of lock duration.
- Removed CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL flag as it is no longer
necessary. New GRL implementation acquires protection
against global read lock automagically when statement
acquires metadata locks on tables or other objects it
is going to change.
sql/sql_db.cc:
Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request.
sql/sql_handler.cc:
Removed call to broadcast_refresh() function. It is no longer
needed with new GRL implementation.
Adjusted code after introducing duration concept for metadata
locks. Particularly to the fact transactional sentinel was
replaced with explicit duration.
sql/sql_handler.h:
Renamed mysql_ha_move_tickets_after_trans_sentinel() to
mysql_ha_set_explicit_lock_duration() after transactional
sentinel was obsoleted by locks with explicit duration.
sql/sql_insert.cc:
Adjusted code handling delaying inserts after switching to
new GRL implementation. Now connection thread initiating
delayed insert has to acquire global IX lock in addition
to metadata lock on table being inserted into. This IX lock
protects against GRL and similarly to SW lock on table being
inserted into has to be passed to handler thread in order to
avoid deadlocks.
sql/sql_lex.cc:
LEX::protect_against_global_read_lock member is no longer
necessary since protection against GRL is automatically
taken by code acquiring metadata locks/opening tables.
sql/sql_lex.h:
LEX::protect_against_global_read_lock member is no longer
necessary since protection against GRL is automatically
taken by code acquiring metadata locks/opening tables.
sql/sql_parse.cc:
- Implemented support for new approach to acquiring protection
against global read lock. We no longer acquire such protection
explicitly on the basis of statement flags. Instead we always
rely on code which is responsible for acquiring metadata locks
on object to be changed acquiring this protection. This is
achieved by acquiring global IX metadata lock with statement
duration. This lock is automatically released at the end of
statement execution.
- Changed implementation of CREATE/DROP PROCEDURE/FUNCTION not
to release metadata locks and thus protection against of GRL
in the middle of statement execution.
- Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request and to the fact that
savepoints for MDL subsystem are now represented by
MDL_savepoint class.
sql/sql_prepare.cc:
Adjusted code to the to the fact that savepoints for MDL
subsystem are now represented by MDL_savepoint class.
sql/sql_rename.cc:
With new GRL implementation there is no need to explicitly
acquire protection against GRL before renaming tables.
This happens automatically in code which acquires metadata
locks on tables being renamed.
sql/sql_show.cc:
Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request and to the fact that
savepoints for MDL subsystem are now represented by
MDL_savepoint class.
sql/sql_table.cc:
- With new GRL implementation there is no need to explicitly
acquire protection against GRL before dropping tables.
This happens automatically in code which acquires metadata
locks on tables being dropped.
- Changed mysql_alter_table() not to release lock on new table
name explicitly and to rely on automatic release of locks
at the end of statement instead. This was necessary since
now MDL_context::release_lock() is supported only for locks
for explicit duration.
sql/sql_trigger.cc:
With new GRL implementation there is no need to explicitly
acquire protection against GRL before changing table triggers.
This happens automatically in code which acquires metadata
locks on tables which triggers are to be changed.
sql/sql_update.cc:
Fix bug exposed by GRL testing. During prepare phase acquire
only S metadata locks instead of SW locks to keep prepare of
multi-UPDATE compatible with concurrent LOCK TABLES WRITE
and global read lock.
sql/sql_view.cc:
With new GRL implementation there is no need to explicitly
acquire protection against GRL before creating view.
This happens automatically in code which acquires metadata
lock on view to be created.
sql/sql_yacc.yy:
LEX::protect_against_global_read_lock member is no longer
necessary since protection against GRL is automatically
taken by code acquiring metadata locks/opening tables.
sql/table.cc:
Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request.
sql/table.h:
Adjusted code to the fact that one now needs specify duration
of lock when initializing MDL_request.
sql/transaction.cc:
Replaced custom implementation of global read lock with
one based on metadata locks. Consequently when doing
commit instead of calling method of Global_read_lock
class to acquire protection against GRL we simply acquire
IX in COMMIT namespace.
Also adjusted code to the fact that MDL savepoint is now
represented by MDL_savepoint class.
