Fix for bug#39395 Maria: ma_extra.c:286: maria_extra: 
Assertion `share->reopen == 1' failed

                  
An error occuring in the execution of a stored procedure, called
from do_select is masked, since the error condition is not
propagated back to the caller (join->conds->val_int() returns
a result value, and not an error code)
                  
An explicit check was added to see if the thd error code has been
set, and if so, the loop status is set to the error state.

Backport from 6.0-codebase (revid: 2617.68.31)

          (diagnostics_area)
      
Execution of CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statement was not atomic in
the sense that concurrent statements trying to affect its target
table might have sneaked in between the moment when the table was
created and moment when it was filled according to SELECT clause.
This resulted in inconsistent binary log, unexpected target table
contents. In cases when concurrent statement was a DDL statement
CREATE TABLE ... SELECT might have failed with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
      
In more detail:
Due to premature metadata lock downgrade which occured after CREATE
TABLE SELECT statement created table but before it managed to obtain
table-level lock on it other statements were allowed to open, lock
and change target table in the middle of CREATE TABLE SELECT
execution. This also meant that it was possible that CREATE TABLE
SELECT would wait in mysql_lock_tables() when it was called for newly
created table and that this wait could have been aborted by concurrent
DDL. The latter led to execution of unexpected branch of code and
CREATE TABLE SELECT ending with ER_CANT_LOCK error.
      
The premature downgrade occured because open_table(), which was called
for newly created table, decided that it is OK to downgrade metadata
lock from exclusive to shared since table exists, even although it
was not acquired within this call.
      
This fix ensures that open_table() does not downgrade metadata lock
if it is not acquired during its current invocation.
      
Testing:
The bug is exposed in a race condition, and is thus difficult to
expose in a standard mysql-test-run test case.  Instead, a stress
test using the Random Query Generator (https://launchpad.net/randgen)
will trip the problem occasionally.
      
   % perl  runall.pl \
            --basedir=<build dir> \
             --mysqld=--table-lock-wait-timeout=5 \

Postfix for Bug#48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks
                      against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE

Rewrote the second test to use DROP PROCEDURE instead of 
CREATE USER as CREATE USER does not work with embedded server.

Bug #48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks
           against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE

This deadlock occured between
a) CREATE PROCEDURE (or other commands listed below)
b) FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK

If the execution of them happened in the following order:
- a) opens a table (e.g. mysql.proc)
- b) locks the global read lock (or GRL)
- a) sleeps inside wait_if_global_read_lock()
- b) increases refresh_version and sleeps waiting 
     for old tables to go away

Note that a) must start waiting on the GRL before FLUSH increases
refresh_version. Otherwise a) won't wait on the GRL and instead
close its tables for reopen, allowing FLUSH to complete and thus
avoid the deadlock.

With this patch the deadlock is avoided by making CREATE PROCEDURE
acquire a protection against global read locks before it starts
executing. This means that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will have
to wait until CREATE PROCEDURE completes before acquiring the global
read lock, thereby avoiding the deadlock.

This is implemented by introducing a new SQL command flag called
CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL. Commands marked with this flag will
acquire a GRL protection in the beginning of mysql_execute_command().
This patch adds the flag to CREATE, ALTER and DROP for PROCEDURE
and FUNCTION, as well as CREATE USER, DROP USER, RENAME USER and 
REVOKE ALL. All these commands either call open_grant_tables() or
open_system_table_for_updated() which make them susceptible for
this deadlock.

The patch also adds the CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL flag to a number
of commands that previously acquired GRL protection in their
respective SQLCOM case in mysql_execute_command().

Test case that checks for GRL protection for CREATE PROCEDURE
and CREATE USER added to mdl_sync.test.

 fixed a crash in partition tests
 introduced by HA_EXTRA_PREPARE_FOR_DROP patch

Also re-enables the test for Bug #43867

Followup to Bug#46654 False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions, 
                      inconsistent behavior

Partition_sync.test uses features only available in debug builds.
Disabling the test for non-debug builds.

"ha_maria.cc:2415: assertion in ha_maria::store_lock()".

Bug #46654 False deadlock on concurrent DML/DDL with partitions, 
           inconsistent behavior

The problem was that if one connection is running a multi-statement 
transaction which involves a single partitioned table, and another 
connection attempts to alter the table, the first connection gets 
ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK and cannot proceed anymore, even when the ALTER TABLE 
statement in another connection has timed out or failed.

The reason for this was that the prepare phase for ALTER TABLE for 
partitioned tables removed all instances of the table from the table 
definition cache before it started waiting on the lock. The transaction 
running in the first connection would notice this and report ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK. 

This patch changes the prep_alter_part_table() ALTER TABLE code so that 
tdc_remove_table() is no longer called. Instead, only the TABLE instance
changed by prep_alter_part_table() is marked as needing reopen.

The patch also removes an unnecessary call to tdc_remove_table() from 
mysql_unpack_partition() as the changed TABLE object is destroyed by the 
caller at a later point.

Test case added in partition_sync.test.

Bug#40181 Made use of tdc_remove_table instead of just 
setting share->version to 0 to make sure all unused table
instances go away as part of CREATE/ALTER TABLE.

Bug #47313 assert in check_key_in_view during CALL procedure

View definitions are inlined in a stored procedure when the procedure
is fist called. This means that if a temporary table is later added
with the same name as the view, the stored procedure will still
use the view. This happens even if temporary tables normally shadow
base tables/views.

The reason for the assert was that even if the stored procedure
referenced the view, open_table() still tried to open the
temporary table. This "half view/half temporary table" state
caused the assert.

The bug was not present in 5.1 as open_table() is not called
for the view there. This code was changed with the introduction 
of MDL in order to properly lock the view and any objects it 
refers to.

This patch fixes the problem by instructing open_table()
to open base tables/views (using OT_BASE_ONLY) when reopening
tables/views used by stored procedures. This also means that
a prepared statement is no longer invalidated if a temporary
table is created with the same name as a view used in the
prepared statement.

Test case added to sp.test. The test case also demonstrates
the effect of sp cache invalidation between CALLs.

Bug #47635 assert in start_waiting_global_read_lock during CREATE VIEW

The problem was that CREATE VIEW would trigger an assert if
a temporary table with the same name already existed.

This bug was fixed by the patch for Bug#47335. CREATE/ALTER VIEW
will now ignore temporary tables. See Bug#47335 for more information.

Test case added to view.test.

Bug #47335 assert in get_table_share

The assert would happen if ALTER VIEW was used to alter a view (existing 
or non-existing) and a temporary table with the same name already existed.

The assert is triggered if the current statement does not have a MDL lock on 
the view to be altered. This would happen because open_table() would open 
the temporary table instead and MDL locks are not taken for temporary 
tables (since they are local to one connection).

The patch changes open_type for CREATE/ALTER VIEW to OT_BASE_ONLY. This prevents 
open_table() from trying to open a temporary table with the same name should
one exist. Now the view will be altered if it exists or ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE will
be reported if it does not.

Test case added to view.test

Followup to Bug#42546 Backup: RESTORE fails, thinking it finds an existing table

This patch updates lowercase_table2.test with the changed error message
CREATE TABLE produces if it fails because it finds an matching TABLE_SHARE 
in the TDC even if the .FRM/.MYD has been removed from disk.

With the changes introduced in Bug#42546, CREATE TABLE uses open_tables()
which will find the TDC entry and fail in open_table_from_share() with
ER_FILE_NOT_FOUND. Before, CREATE TABLE would not use open_tables() and
fail with ER_TABLE_EXISTS_ERROR upon finding the TDC entry in
mysql_create_table_no_lock().

Bug#42546 Backup: RESTORE fails, thinking it finds an existing table

The problem occured when a MDL locking conflict happened for a non-existent 
table between a CREATE and a INSERT statement. The code for CREATE 
interpreted this lock conflict to mean that the table existed, 
which meant that the statement failed when it should not have.
The problem could occur for CREATE TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE and
ALTER TABLE RENAME.

This patch fixes the problem for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.
It is based on code backported from the mysql-6.1-fk tree written
by Dmitry Lenev. CREATE now uses normal open_and_lock_tables() code 
to acquire exclusive locks. This means that for the test case in the bug 
description, CREATE will wait until INSERT completes so that it can 
get the exclusive lock. This resolves the reported bug.

The patch also prohibits CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE under 
LOCK TABLES. Note that this is an incompatible change and must 
be reflected in the documentation. Affected test cases have been
updated.

mdl_sync.test contains tests for CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE LIKE.

Fixing the issue for ALTER TABLE RENAME is beyond the scope of this
patch. ALTER TABLE cannot be prohibited from working under LOCK TABLES
as this could seriously impact customers and a proper fix would require
a significant rewrite.

      
An assert in reload_acl_and_cache didn't account for the
case when the function is called with a NULL thd.  A
null thd is used whenever the function is called from the
SIGHUP signal handler.

  CREATE TABLE SELECT statements take exclusive metadata lock on table

  Once metadata locks on stored routines are introduced statements like

  Fix for bug #46673 "Deadlock between FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and DML".

  Deadlocks occured when one concurrently executed transactions with
  several statements modifying data and FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
  statement or SET READ_ONLY=1 statement.

  These deadlocks were introduced by the patch for WL 4284: "Transactional
  DDL locking"/Bug 989: "If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction,
  wrong binlog order" which has changed FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/SET
  READ_ONLY=1 to wait for pending transactions.
  What happened was that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK blocked all further
  statements changing tables by setting global_read_lock global variable
  and has started waiting for all pending transactions to complete.
  Then one of those transactions tried to executed DML, detected that
  global_read_lock non-zero and tried to wait until global read lock will
  be released (i.e. global_read_lock becomes 0), indeed, this led to a
  deadlock.

  Proper solution for this problem should probably involve full integration
  of global read lock with metadata locking subsystem (which will allow to
  implement waiting for pending transactions without blocking DML in them).
  But since it requires significant changes another, short-term solution
  for the problem is implemented in this patch.

  Basically, this patch restores behavior of FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK/
  SET READ_ONLY=1 before the patch for WL 4284/bug 989. By ensuring that
  extra references to TABLE_SHARE are not stored for active metadata locks
  it changes these statements not to wait for pending transactions.
  As result deadlock is eliminated.
  Note that this does not change the fact that active FLUSH TABLES WITH
  READ LOCK lock or SET READ_ONLY=1 prevent modifications to tables as
  they also block transaction commits.

message:
  Fix for bug #46044 "MDL deadlock on LOCK TABLE + CREATE TABLE HIGH_PRIORITY
  FOR UPDATE".

  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.

Bug #42147 Concurrent DML and LOCK TABLE ... READ for InnoDB 
           table cause warnings in errlog

Concurrent execution of LOCK TABLES ... READ statement and DML statements 
affecting the same InnoDB table on debug builds of MySQL server might lead 
to "Found lock of type 6 that is write and read locked" warnings appearing 
in error log.

The problem is that the table-level locking code allows a thread to acquire
TL_READ_NO_INSERT lock on a table even if there is another thread which holds 
TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE lock on the same table. At the same time, the locking
code assumes that that such locks are incompatible (for example, see check_locks()).

This doesn't lead to any problems other than warnings in error log for
debug builds of server since for InnoDB tables TL_READ_NO_INSERT type of
lock is only used for LOCK TABLES and for this statement InnoDB also
performs its own table-level locking.

Unfortunately, the table lock compatibility matrix cannot be updated to disallow
TL_READ_NO_INSERT when another thread holds TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE without 
causing starvation of LOCK TABLE READ in InnoDB under high write load. 
This patch therefore contains no code changes.

The issue will be fixed later when LOCK TABLE READ has been updated
to not use table locks. This bug will therefore be marked as 
"To be fixed later".

Code comment in thr_lock.c expanded to clarify the issue and a 
test case based on the bug description added to innodb_mysql_lock.test.
Note that a global suppression rule has been added to both MTR v1 and v2
for the "Found lock of type 6 that is write and read locked" warning.
These suppression rules must be removed once this bug is properly fixed.

Introduce a counter for protection against global read lock on thread level.

The functions for protection against global read lock sometimes need a local
variable to signal when the protection is set, and hence need to be released.
It would be better to control this behaviour via a counter on the THD struct,
telling how many times the protection has been claimed by the current thread.
A side-effect of the fix is that if protection is claimed twice for a thread,
only a simple increment is required for the second claim, instead of a
mutex-protected increment of the global variable protect_against_global_read_lock.

---------------------------------------------

This is a patch for bug#47098 assert in MDL_context::destroy on
HANDLER <damaged merge table> OPEN.
      
The assert occurs in MDL_context::destroy when the connection is terminated,
because all mdl_tickets have not been released.
MERGE tables do not support being opened using the HANDLER ... OPEN command,
and trying to do so will result in an error. In the event of an error, all
tables that are opened, should be closed again. The fix for bug#45781 made
sure that this also works for MERGE tables, which causes multiple tables to
be opened.
This fix extends the fix for bug#45781, by ensuring that also all locks are
released, when MERGE tables are involved.

Bug #21793 Missing CF_CHANGES_DATA and CF_STATUS_COMMAND for 
           handful of commands

CF_CHANGES_DATA and CF_STATUS_COMMAND flags added to the 
commands mentioned in the bug description. With the following
two exceptions: 

1) 4 commands do not exist: 
SQLCOM_RENAME_DB
SQLCOM_LOAD_MASTER_DATA
SQLCOM_LOAD_MASTER_TABLE
SQLCOM_SHOW_COLUMN_TYPES

2) All SQLCOM_SHOW_* commands already had CF_STATUS_COMMAND,
leaving only SQLCOM_BINLOG_BASE64_EVENT.

Further, check_prepared_statement() in sql_prepare.cc has been
simplified by taking advantage of the CF_STATUS_COMMAND flag.

Note that no test case has been added.

Bug #48248 assert in MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive

The assert would happen if REPAIR TABLE was used on a table already
locked by LOCK TABLES READ. REPAIR mistakenly tried to upgrade the
read-lock to exclusive, thereby triggering the assert.

The cause of the problem was that REPAIR TABLE ignored errors 
from opening and locking tables. This is by design, as REPAIR
can be used to broken tables that cannot be opened. However,
repair also ignored logical errors such as the inability to
exclusivly lock a table due to conflicting LOCK TABLES.

This patch fixes the problem by not ignoring errors from
opening and locking tables if inside LOCK TABLES mode.
In LOCK TABLES we already know that the table can be opened,
so that the failure to open must be a logical error.

Test added to repair.test.

Bug#47107

Add missing line in previous change set.

Bug #47107 assert in notify_shared_lock on incorrect CREATE TABLE , HANDLER

Attempts to create a table (using CREATE TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE or
CREATE TABLE SELECT statements) which already existed and was opened
by the same connection through HANDLER statement, led to a stalled
connection (for production builds of the server) or to the server being
aborted due to an assertion failure (for debug builds of the server).

This problem was introduced by the new implementation of a metadata
locking subsystem and didn't affect earlier versions of the server.

The cause of the problem was that the HANDLER was not closed by CREATE TABLE
before CREATE tried to open and lock the table. Acquiring an exclusive MDL
lock on the table to be created would therefore fail since HANDLER
already had a shared MDL lock. This triggered an assert as the 
HANDLER and CREATE statements came from the same thread (self-deadlock).

This patch resolves the issue by closing any open HANDLERs on tables
to be created by CREATE TABLE, similar to what is already done for 
DROP and ALTER TABLE.

Test case added to create.test.

Bug #48725 Assert !thd->is_error() in delayed_get_table()

This bug is a regression introduced by the patch for Bug #45949.

If the handler thread for INSERT DELAYED was killed by e.g.
FLUSH TABLES, the error message is copied from the handler thread
to the connection thread. But the error was not reacted on, so the
connection thread continued as normal, leading to an eventual assert.

No test case added as it would have required sync points to work
for handler threads. The plan is to add this in the scope of 
Bug #48725 / Bug #48541. The patch has been tested with the 
non-deterministic test case given in the bug description.

Bug #45949 Assertion `!tables->table' in open_tables() on 
           ALTER + INSERT DELAYED

The assertion was caused by improperly closing tables when 
INSERT DELAYED needed to reopen tables. This patch replaces
the call to close_thread_tables with close_tables_for_reopen
which fixes the problem.

The only way I was able to trigger the reopen code path and 
thus the assertion, was if ALTER TABLE killed the delayed
insert thread and the delayed insert thread was able to enter
the reopen code path before it noticed that thd->killed had
been set. Note that in these cases reopen will always fail 
since open_table() will check thd->killed and return. This patch
therefore adds two more thd->killed checks to minimize the 
chance of entering the reopen code path without hope for success.

The patch also changes it so that if the delayed insert is killed
using KILL_CONNECTION, the error message that is copied to the
connection thread is ER_QUERY_INTERRUPTED rather than 
ER_SERVER_SHUTDOWN. This means that if INSERT DELAYED fails, 
the user will now see "Query execution was interrupted" rather
than the misleading "Server shutdown in progress".

No test case is supplied. This is for two reasons:
1) Unable to reproduce the error without having the delayed insert
thread in a killed state which means that reopen is futile and
was not supposed to be attempted.
2) Difficulty of using sync points in other threads than 
the connection thread.
The patch has been successfully tested with the RQG and the grammar
supplied in the bug description.

  Fix for bug #46748 "Assertion in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
  on INSERT + CREATE TRIGGER".

  Concurrent execution of statements involving stored functions or triggers
  which were using several tables and DDL statements which affected those
  tables on debug build of server might have led to assertion failures in
  MDL_context::wait_for_locks(). Non-debug build was not affected.

  The problem was that during back-off which happens when open_tables()
  encounters conflicting metadata lock for one of the tables being open
  we didn't reset MDL_request::ticket value for requests which correspond
  to tables from extended prelocking set. Since these requests are part
  of of list of requests to be waited for in Open_table_context this broke
  assumption that ticket value for them is 0 in MDL_context::wait_for_locks()
  and caused assertion failure.

  This fix ensures that close_tables_for_reopen(), which performs this back-off
  resets MDL_request::ticket value not only for tables directly used by the
  statement but also for tables from extended prelocking set, thus satisfying
  assumption described above.

Bug #47249 assert in MDL_global_lock::is_lock_type_compatible

This assert could be triggered if LOCK TABLES were used to lock
both a table and a view that used the same table. The table would have
to be first WRITE locked and then READ locked. So "LOCK TABLES v1
WRITE, t1 READ" would eventually trigger the assert, "LOCK TABLES
v1 READ, t1 WRITE" would not. The reason is that the ordering of locks
in the interal representation made a difference when executing 
FLUSH TABLE on the table.

During FLUSH TABLE, a lock was upgraded to exclusive. If this lock
was of type MDL_SHARED and not MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE, an internal
counter in the MDL subsystem would get out of sync. This would happen
if the *last* mention of the table in LOCK TABLES was a READ lock.

The counter in question is the number exclusive locks (active or intention). 
This is used to make sure a global metadata lock is only taken when the 
counter is zero (= no conflicts). The counter is increased when a
MDL_EXCLUSIVE or MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE lock is taken, but not when 
upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive() is used to upgrade directly
from MDL_SHARED to MDL_EXCLUSIVE. 

This patch fixes the problem by searching for a TABLE instance locked
with MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE or MDL_EXCLUSIVE before calling
upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive(). The patch also adds an assert checking
that only MDL_SHARED_UPGRADABLE locks are upgraded to exclusive.

Test case added to lock_multi.test.

message:
  A cleanup in open_tables() and lock_tables():
  change return type of these functions to bool from int,
  to follow convention in the rest of the code.
(Part of WL#4284 review fixes).

A pre-requisite patch for Bug#30977 "Concurrent statement using 
stored function and DROP FUNCTION breaks SBR".

This patch changes the MDL API by introducing a namespace for
lock keys: MDL_TABLE for tables and views and MDL_PROCEDURE
for stored procedures and functions. The latter is needed for
the fix for Bug#30977.
