      Bug #50786 Assertion `thd->mdl_context.trans_sentinel() == __null' · e190a415
      Jon Olav Hauglid authored
                 failed in open_ltable()
      
      The problem was too restrictive asserts that enforced that 
      open_ltable() was called without any active HANDLERs, LOCK TABLES
      or global read locks. 
      
      However, this can happen in several cases when opening system
      tables. The assert would, for example, be triggered when drop
      function was called from a connection with active HANDLERs as
      this would cause open_ltable() to be called for mysql.proc.
      The assert could also be triggered when using table-based
      general log (mysql.general_log).
      
      This patch removes the asserts since they will be triggered in
      several legitimate cases and because the asserts are no longer
      relevant due to changes in how locks are released.
      
      The patch also fixes set_needs_thr_lock_abort() that before 
      ignored its parameter and always set the member variable to TRUE.
      
      Test case added to mdl_sync.test.
      Thanks to Dmitry Lenev for help with this bug!

      Post merge fixes. In sys_vars tests suite, whenever we use LOCK TABLE WRITE,
      adjust to lock the subject table indirecty via a view, to ensure that
      there the desired lock conflict in thr_lock.c is still taking place.
      If locked directly in LOCK TABLES list, thr_lock.c does not get
      involved.

      Fix for bug #50784 "MDL: Assertion `m_tickets.is_empty() || · 0ede7125
      Dmitry Lenev authored
      m_tickets.front() == m_trans_sentinel'".
      
      Debug build of server crashed due to assert failure in MDL
      subsystem when one tried to execute multi-table REPAIR or
      OPTIMIZE in autocommit=0 mode.
      
      The assert failure occured when multi-table REPAIR or OPTIMIZE
      started processing of second table from its table list and
      tried to acquire upgradable metadata lock on this table.
      The cause of the assert failure were MDL locks left over from
      processing of previous table. It turned out that in autocommit=0
      mode close_thread_tables() which happens at the end of table
      processing doesn't release metadata locks.
      
      This fix solves problem by releasing locks explicitly using
      MDL_context::release_trans_locks() call.

      Thus some other thread was able to see ticket without properly

      happened.
      
      This fix ensures that MDL_ticket::m_lock is set in all cases
      when ticket is added to granted/pending lists in MDL_lock.

      Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. · afd15c43
      Dmitry Lenev authored
      Add a wait-for graph based deadlock detector to the
      MDL subsystem.
      
      Fixes bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock" and
      bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and
      alter table".
      
      The first bug manifested itself as an unwarranted abort of a
      transaction with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error by a concurrent ALTER
      statement, when this transaction tried to repeat use of a
      table, which it has already used in a similar fashion before
      ALTER started.
      
      The second bug showed up as a deadlock between table-level
      locks and InnoDB row locks, which was "detected" only after
      innodb_lock_wait_timeout timeout.
      
      A transaction would start using the table and modify a few
      rows.
      Then ALTER TABLE would come in, and start copying rows
      into a temporary table. Eventually it would stumble on
      the modified records and get blocked on a row lock.
      The first transaction would try to do more updates, and get
      blocked on thr_lock.c lock.
      This situation of circular wait would only get resolved
      by a timeout.
      
      Both these bugs stemmed from inadequate solutions to the
      problem of deadlocks occurring between different
      locking subsystems.
      
      In the first case we tried to avoid deadlocks between metadata
      locking and table-level locking subsystems, when upgrading shared
      metadata lock to exclusive one.
      Transactions holding the shared lock on the table and waiting for
      some table-level lock used to be aborted too aggressively.
      
      We also allowed ALTER TABLE to start in presence of transactions
      that modify the subject table. ALTER TABLE acquires
      TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock at start, and that block all writes
      against the table (naturally, we don't want any writes to be lost
      when switching the old and the new table). TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ
      lock, in turn, would block the started transaction on thr_lock.c
      lock, should they do more updates. This, again, lead to the need
      to abort such transactions.
      
      The second bug occurred simply because we didn't have any
      mechanism to detect deadlocks between the table-level locks
      in thr_lock.c and row-level locks in InnoDB, other than
      innodb_lock_wait_timeout.
      
      This patch solves both these problems by moving lock conflicts
      which are causing these deadlocks into the metadata locking
      subsystem, thus making it possible to avoid or detect such
      deadlocks inside MDL.
      
      To do this we introduce new type-of-operation-aware metadata
      locks, which allow MDL subsystem to know not only the fact that
      transaction has used or is going to use some object but also what
      kind of operation it has carried out or going to carry out on the
      object.
      
      This, along with the addition of a special kind of upgradable
      metadata lock, allows ALTER TABLE to wait until all
      transactions which has updated the table to go away.
      This solves the second issue.
      Another special type of upgradable metadata lock is acquired
      by LOCK TABLE WRITE. This second lock type allows to solve the
      first issue, since abortion of table-level locks in event of
      DDL under LOCK TABLES becomes also unnecessary.
      
      Below follows the list of incompatible changes introduced by
      this patch:
      
      - From now on, ALTER TABLE and CREATE/DROP TRIGGER SQL (i.e. those
        statements that acquire TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ lock)
        wait for all transactions which has *updated* the table to
        complete.
      
      - From now on, LOCK TABLES ... WRITE, REPAIR/OPTIMIZE TABLE
        (i.e. all statements which acquire TL_WRITE table-level lock) wait
        for all transaction which *updated or read* from the table
        to complete.
        As a consequence, innodb_table_locks=0 option no longer applies
        to LOCK TABLES ... WRITE.
      
      - DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE no longer abort
        statements or transactions which use tables being dropped or
        renamed, and instead wait for these transactions to complete.
      
      - Since LOCK TABLES WRITE now takes a special metadata lock,
        not compatible with with reads or writes against the subject table
        and transaction-wide, thr_lock.c deadlock avoidance algorithm
        that used to ensure absence of deadlocks between LOCK TABLES
        WRITE and other statements is no longer sufficient, even for
        MyISAM. The wait-for graph based deadlock detector of MDL
        subsystem may sometimes be necessary and is involved. This may
        lead to ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error produced for multi-statement
        transactions even if these only use MyISAM:
      
        session 1:         session 2:
        begin;
      
        update t1 ...      lock table t2 write, t1 write;
                           -- gets a lock on t2, blocks on t1
      
        update t2 ...
        (ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK)
      
      - Finally,  support of LOW_PRIORITY option for LOCK TABLES ... WRITE
        was abandoned.
        LOCK TABLE ... LOW_PRIORITY WRITE from now on has the same
        priority as the usual LOCK TABLE ... WRITE.
        SELECT HIGH PRIORITY no longer trumps LOCK TABLE ... WRITE  in
        the wait queue.
      
      - We do not take upgradable metadata locks on implicitly
        locked tables. So if one has, say, a view v1 that uses
        table t1, and issues:
        LOCK TABLE v1 WRITE;
        FLUSH TABLE t1; -- (or just 'FLUSH TABLES'),
        an error is produced.
        In order to be able to perform DDL on a table under LOCK TABLES,
        the table must be locked explicitly in the LOCK TABLES list.

      Patch that changes metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and · a63f8480
      Dmitry Lenev authored
      condition variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional
      variable for the whole subsystem.
      
      This should increase concurrency in this subsystem.
      
      It also opens the way for further changes which are necessary to solve
      such bugs as bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock"
      and bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
      table".
      
      Two other notable changes done by this patch:
      
      - MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
        metadata lock when per-object metadata lock is acquired. Now this has
        to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
      - Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables/tables
        for purposes of I_S we now create MDL savepoint in the main context
        before opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing
        them. This means that it is now possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
        even not inside a transaction. This might happen in unlikely case when
        one runs DDL on one of system tables while also running DDL on some
        other tables. Cases when this ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is not justified
        will be addressed by advanced deadlock detector for MDL subsystem which
        we plan to implement.

      Bug #50412 Assertion `! is_set()' failed in · c0051261
      Jon Olav Hauglid authored
                 Diagnostics_area::set_ok_status at PREPARE
      
      The problem occured during processing of stored routines. 
      Routines are loaded from mysql.proc, parsed and put into the sp cache by
      sp_cache_routine().  The assert occured because the return value from
      sp_cache_routine() was not checked for top level CALLs. This meant that any
      errors during sp_cache_routine() went unoticed and triggered the assert when
      my_ok() was later called.
      
      This is a regression introduced by the patch for Bug#30977, only visible in
      source trees with MDL and using debug builds of the server.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by checking the return value from sp_cache_routine() 
      for top level CALLs and propagating any errors similar to what is done for other 
      calls to sp_cache_routine().
      
      No test case added.

      The problem was that FLUSH TABLE <table_list> would block,

      was used in combination with LOCK TABLES.
      
      With the new MDL code, this problem is no longer repeatable.

      Bug #49988 MDL deadlocks with mysql_create_db, reload_acl_and_cache · db1888b5
      Jon Olav Hauglid authored
      This was a deadlock between LOCK TABLES/CREATE DATABASE in one connection
      and DROP DATABASE in another. It only happened if the table locked by 
      LOCK TABLES was in the database to be dropped. The deadlock is similar
      to the one in Bug#48940, but with LOCK TABLES instead of an active
      transaction.
      
      The order of events needed to trigger the deadlock was:
      1) Connection 1 locks table db1.t1 using LOCK TABLES. It will now
      have a metadata lock on the table name.
      2) Connection 2 issues DROP DATABASE db1. This will wait inside
      the MDL subsystem for the lock on db1.t1 to go away. While waiting, it
      will hold the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex.
      3) Connection 1 issues CREATE DATABASE (database name irrelevant).
      This will hang trying to lock the same mutex. Since this is the connection
      holding the metadata lock blocking Connection 2, we have a deadlock.
      
      This deadlock would also happen for earlier trees without MDL, but 
      there DROP DATABASE would wait for a table to be removed from the
      table definition cache.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by prohibiting CREATE DATABASE in LOCK TABLES
      mode. In the example above, this prevents Connection 1 from hanging trying
      to get the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. Note that other commands that use
      LOCK_mysql_create_db (ALTER/DROP DATABASE) are already prohibited in 
      LOCK TABLES mode.
      
      Incompatible change: CREATE DATABASE is now disallowed in LOCK TABLES mode.
      
      Test case added to schema.test.

      Fix for bug #48538 "Assertion in thr_lock() on LOAD DATA CONCURRENT · 0bce0c90
      Jon Olav Hauglid authored
                         INFILE".
      
      Attempts to execute an INSERT statement for a MEMORY table which invoked
      a trigger or called a stored function which tried to perform LOW_PRIORITY
      update on the table being inserted into, resulted in debug servers aborting
      due to an assertion failure. On non-debug servers such INSERTs failed with
      "Can't update table t1 in stored function/trigger because it is already used
      by statement which invoked this stored function/trigger" as expected.
      
      The problem was that in the above scenario TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT
      is converted to TL_WRITE inside the thr_lock() function since the MEMORY
      engine does not support concurrent inserts. This triggered an assertion
      which assumed that for the same table, one thread always requests locks with
      higher thr_lock_type value first. When TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT is
      upgraded to TL_WRITE after the locks have been sorted, this is no longer true.
      In this case, TL_WRITE was requested after acquiring a TL_WRITE_LOW_PRIORITY
      lock on the table, triggering the assert.
      
      This fix solves the problem by adjusting this assert to take this
      scenario into account.
      
      An alternative approach to change handler::store_locks() methods for all engines
      which do not support concurrent inserts in such way that
      TL_WRITE_CONCURRENT_INSERT is upgraded to TL_WRITE there instead, 
      was considered too intrusive.
