BACKGROUND:
In certain situations DROP USER fails to remove all privileges
belonging to user being dropped from in-memory structures.
Current workaround is to do DROP USER twice in scenario below
OR doing FLUSH PRIVILEGES after doing DROP USER.

ANALYSIS:
In MySQL, When we grant some stored routines privileges to a
user they are stored in their respective hash.
When doing DROP USER all the stored routine privilege entries
associated with that user has to be deleted from its respective 
hash.
The root cause for this bug is some entries from the hash
are not getting deleted. 
The problem is that code that deletes entries from the hash tries
to do so while iterating over it, without taking enough measures
to address the fact that such deletion can reshuffle elements in 
the hash. If the user/administrator creates the same user again 
he is thrown an  error 'Error 1396 ER_CANNOT_USER' from MySQL.
This prompts the user to either do FLUSH PRIVILEGES or do DROP USER 
again. This behaviour is not desirable as it is a workaround and
does not solves the problem mentioned above.

FIX:
This bug is fixed by introducing a dynamic array to store the 
pointersto all stored routine privilege objects that either have
to be deleted or updated. This is done in 3 steps.
Step 1: Fetching the element from the hash and checking whether 
it is to be deleted or updated.
Step 2: Storing the pointer to that privilege object in dynamic array.
Step 3: Traversing the dynamic array to perform the appropriate action 
either delete or update.
This is a much cleaner way to delete or update the privilege entries 
associated with some user and solves the problem mentioned above.
Also the code has been refactored a bit by introducing an enum
instead of hard coded numbers used for respective dynamic arrays 
and hashes in handle_grant_struct() function.

QUOTING IN REPLICATION 

Problem: Misquoting or unquoted identifiers may lead to
incorrect statements to be logged to the binary log.

Fix: we use specialized functions to append quoted identifiers in
the statements generated by the server.

WHEN DBNAME CONTAINS MULTIPLE QUOTES

MySQL client's USE command might fail if the
database name contains multiple quotes (backticks).

The reason behind the failure being the method
that client uses to remove/escape the quotes
while parsing the USE command's option (dbname),
where the option parsing might terminate if a
matching quote is found.

Also, C-APIs like mysql_select_db() expect a
normalized dbname. Now, in certain cases, client
might fail to normalize dbname similar to that of
server and hence mysql_select_db() would fail.

Fixed by getting the normalized dbname (indirectly)
from the server by directly sending the "USE dbanme"
as query to the server followed by a "SELECT DATABASE()".
The above steps are only performed if number of quotes
in the dbname is greater than 2. Once the normalized
dbname is received, the original db is restored.

There is race when dropping a single table tablespace where a reader
thread can initiate a read request before the delete flag is set and
before it is finished the deleting thread can attempt to free the
fil_node.

This patch checks the status in fil_io() to make sure that the
tablespace is not being deleted. If it is being deleted then
an error is returned instead of attempting IO.

Delete-mark change buffer records when resorting to a pessimistic
delete from the change buffer B-tree. Skip delete-marked records in
the change buffer merge and when estimating whether an operation can
be buffered. Without this fix, we could try to apply the same buffered
changes multiple times if the server was killed at the right moment.

In MySQL 5.5 and later: ibuf_get_volume_buffered_count_func(): Ignore
delete-marked (already processed) records.

ibuf_delete_rec(): Add a crash point before optimistic delete. If the
optimistic delete fails, flag the record processed before
mtr_commit().

ibuf_merge_or_delete_for_page(): Ignore delete-marked (already
processed) records.

Backport to 5.1: Rename btr_cur_del_unmark_for_ibuf() to
btr_cur_set_deleted_flag_for_ibuf() and add a parameter.

              INC_HOST_ERRORS() IS CALLED.

Description : Merge from MySQL-5.1 to MySQL-5.5

              INC_HOST_ERRORS() IS CALLED.

Issue       : Sequence of calling inc_host_errors()
              and reset_host_errors() required some
              changes in order to maintain correct
              connection error count.

Solution    : Call to reset_host_errors() is shifted
              to a location after which no calls to
              inc_host_errors() are made.

page_zip_validate(), page_zip_validate_low(): Add a parameter for the
B-tree index.

page_zip_validate_low(): If the page contents does not match, check
that the record link chains match. Furthermore, if dict_index_t is
passed, check that the records match. (This reduces coverage a bit: if
index=NULL, we will ignore differences in record contents, that is,
the page payload.)

trx_data->empty() assert happens at `binlog_close_connection'

Analysis:
========

trx_data->empty() function checks for no pending events
and the transaction cache to be empty.This function returns
"true" if no pending events are present and cache is empty.
Otherwise it returns false. `binlog_close_connection' call
expects the above function to return true. But if the
return value is false then assert is raised.

This bug was reproducible in a diskfull scenario. In this
disk full scenario try to do an insert operation so that
a new pending event is created and flushing this pending
event fails. Due to this failure the server goes down
and invokes `binlog_close_connection' for clean closure.
Since the pending event still remains the assert is caused.
This assert is caused only in non transactional databases.


Fix:
===

In a disk full scenario when the insertion fails the
transaction is rolled back and `binlog_end_trans`
is called to flush the pending events. But flush operation
fails as the disk is full and the function simply returns
`1' without taking any action to delete the pending event.

This leaves the event to remain till the closure of
connection.  `delete pending' statement has been added to 
do the required clean up action.

sql/log.cc:
  Added "delete pending" statement to clean pending event

This is the 5.5 version of the patch.

An "orthographic" typo in User_var::set_deferred() was made in fixes for
bug@14275000. While editing the signature of the initial patch to remove
the only argument, the assigned value of the argument remained in the body ... 
to be successfully compiled (!) thanks to names coincidence:
the arg to User_var method and its member.

Fixed with correcting the typo.

In fill_schema_table_by_open(): free item list before restoring active arena.

  Replaced i_s_arena.free_items with DBUG_ASSERT(i_s_arena.free_list == NULL)
  (there's nothing to free in that list)

THOUGH IT IS NOT.

The following error message is misleading because it claims 
that the BLOB space is not counted.  

"ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for 
the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 8126. You have to 
change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs"

When the ROW_FORMAT=compact or ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT is used,
the BLOB prefix is stored inline along with the row.  So 
the above error message is changed as follows depending on
the row format used:

For ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED or ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC, the error
message is as follows:

"ERROR 42000: Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some
columns to TEXT or BLOB may help. In current row format, 
BLOB prefix of 0 bytes is stored inline."

For ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT or ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT, the error
message is as follows:

"ERROR 42000: Row size too large (> 8126). Changing some
columns to TEXT or BLOB or using ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC or 
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED may help. In current row
format, BLOB prefix of 768 bytes is stored inline."
