Just remove the check whether the file is "too big".
A similar code exists in ha_innobase::update_table_comment() but that
method does not seem to be used.

Bug#56632 - The warning code related to KEY_BLOCK_SIZE and ROW_FORMAT  when innodb_strict_mode=OFF  is improved in order to take into account whether the KEY_BLOCK_SIZE is specified on the current ALTER statement or the previous CREATE statement.
    
The testcase shows the expected results of 12 different combinations of these settings.

This is a simple optimization issue. All stats are related to only indexed
columns, index size or number of rows in the whole table. UPDATEs that touch
only non-indexed columns cannot affect stats and we can avoid calling the
function row_update_statistics_if_needed() which may result in unnecessary I/O.

TYPE __sync_lock_test_and_set (TYPE *ptr, TYPE value, ...)

it is not documented what happens if the two arguments are of different
type like it was before: the first one was lock_word_t (byte) and the
second one was 1 or 0 (int).

InnoDB Plugin 1.0.12 has been released with MySQL 5.1.51.

Use UNINIT_VAR workaround instead of LINT_INIT. The former can
also be used to silence false-positives in non-debug builds as
it actually does not cause new code to be generated.

Temporarily disable strict aliasing warnings in order to get
wider coverage for optimized builds. Once the violations are
fixed and false-positives silenced, this flag should be removed.

Subselect executes twice, at JOIN::optimize stage
and at JOIN::execute stage. At optimize stage
Innodb prebuilt struct which is used for the
retrieval of column values is initialized in.
ha_innobase::index_read(), prebuilt->sql_stat_start is true.
After QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT finished his job it
restores read_set/write_set bitmaps with initial values
and deactivates one of the handlers used by
QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT in JOIN::cleanup
(it's the case when we reuse original handler as one of
 handlers required by QUICK_ROR_INTERSECT_SELECT object).
On second subselect execution inactive handler is activated
in  QUICK_RANGE_SELECT::reset, file->ha_index_init().
In ha_index_init Innodb prebuilt struct is reinitialized
with inappropriate read_set/write_set bitmaps. Further
reinitialization in ha_innobase::index_read() does not
happen as prebuilt->sql_stat_start is false.
It leads to partial retrieval of required field values
and we get a mix of field values from different records
in the record buffer.
The fix is to reset
read_set/write_set bitmaps as these values
are required for proper intialization of
internal InnoDB struct which is used for
the retrieval of column values
(see build_template(), ha_innodb.cc)

           adding new indexes

A fast alter table requires that the existing (old) table
and indices are unchanged (i.e only new indices can be
added).  To verify this, the layout and flags of the old
table/indices are compared for equality with the new.

The PACK_KEYS option is a no-op in InnoDB, but the flag
exists, and is used in the table compare.  We need to
check this (table) option flag before deciding whether an 
index should be packed or not.  If the table has
explicitly set PACK_KEYS to 0, the created indices should
not be marked as packed/packable. 

compression protocol.

The loss of connection was caused by a malformed packet
sent by the server in case when query cache was in use.
When storing data in the query cache, the query  cache
memory allocation algorithm had a tendency to reduce
the amount of memory block necessary to store a result
set, up to finally storing the entire result set in a single
block. With a significant result set, this memory block
could turn out to be quite large - 30, 40 MB and on.
When such a result set was sent to the client, the entire
memory block was compressed and written to network as a
single network packet. However, the length of the
network packet is limited by 0xFFFFFF (16MB), since
the packet format only allows 3 bytes for packet length.
As a result, a malformed, overly large packet
with truncated length would be sent to the client
and break the client/server protocol.

The solution is, when sending result sets from the query
cache, to ensure that the data is chopped into
network packets of size <= 16MB, so that there
is no corruption of packet length. This solution,
however, has a shortcoming: since the result set
is still stored in the query cache as a single block,
at the time of sending, we've lost boundaries of individual
logical packets (one logical packet = one row of the result
set) and thus can end up sending a truncated logical
packet in a compressed network packet.

As a result, on the client we may require more memory than 
max_allowed_packet to keep, both, the truncated
last logical packet, and the compressed next packet.
This never (or in practice never) happens without compression,
since without compression it's very unlikely that
a) a truncated logical packet would remain on the client
when it's time to read the next packet
b) a subsequent logical packet that is being read would be
so large that size-of-new-packet + size-of-old-packet-tail >
max_allowed_packet.
To remedy this issue, we send data in 1MB sized packets,
that's below the current client default of 16MB for
max_allowed_packet, but large enough to ensure there is no
unnecessary overhead from too many syscalls per result set.
