Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2617.23.18 committer: Davi Arnaut <Davi.Arnaut@Sun.COM> branch nick: 4284-6.0 timestamp: Mon 2009-03-02 18:18:26 -0300 message: Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking This is a prerequisite patch: These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock requests, but only shared locks can be recursive. The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction. Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds a equivalent of the lock being released. These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys, requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once. This patch combines review input and significant code contributions from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).

Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2617.23.18 committer: Davi Arnaut <Davi.Arnaut@Sun.COM> branch nick: 4284-6.0 timestamp: Mon 2009-03-02 18:18:26 -0300 message: Bug#989: If DROP TABLE while there's an active transaction, wrong binlog order WL#4284: Transactional DDL locking This is a prerequisite patch: These changes are intended to split lock requests from granted locks and to allow the memory and lifetime of granted locks to be managed within the MDL subsystem. Furthermore, tickets can now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock requests, but only shared locks can be recursive. The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction. Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds a equivalent of the lock being released. These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys, requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once. This patch combines review input and significant code contributions from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

Furthermore, tickets can now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock requests, but only shared locks can be recursive. The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction. Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds a equivalent of the lock being released. These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys, requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once. This patch combines review input and significant code contributions from Konstantin Osipov (kostja) and Dmitri Lenev (dlenev).

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.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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).

Furthermore, tickets can now be shared and therefore are used to satisfy multiple lock requests, but only shared locks can be recursive. The problem is that the MDL subsystem morphs lock requests into granted locks locks but does not manage the memory and lifetime of lock requests, and hence, does not manage the memory of granted locks either. This can be problematic because it puts the burden of tracking references on the users of the subsystem and it can't be easily done in transactional contexts where the locks have to be kept around for the duration of a transaction. Another issue is that recursive locks (when the context trying to acquire a lock already holds a lock on the same object) requires that each time the lock is granted, a unique lock request/granted lock structure structure must be kept around until the lock is released. This can lead to memory leaks in transactional contexts as locks taken during the transaction should only be released at the end of the transaction. This also leads to unnecessary wake ups (broadcasts) in the MDL subsystem if the context still holds a equivalent of the lock being released. These issues are exacerbated due to the fact that WL#4284 low-level design says that the implementation should "2) Store metadata locks in transaction memory root, rather than statement memory root" but this is not possible because a memory root, as implemented in mysys, requires all objects allocated from it to be freed all at once.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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 ...

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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).

Bug #45225 Locking: hang if drop table with no timeout This patch introduces timeouts for metadata locks. The timeout is specified in seconds using the new dynamic system variable "lock_wait_timeout" which has both GLOBAL and SESSION scopes. Allowed values range from 1 to 31536000 seconds (= 1 year). The default value is 1 year. The new server parameter "lock-wait-timeout" can be used to set the default value parameter upon server startup. "lock_wait_timeout" applies to all statements that use metadata locks. These include DML and DDL operations on tables, views, stored procedures and stored functions. They also include LOCK TABLES, FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and HANDLER statements. The patch also changes thr_lock.c code (table data locks used by MyISAM and other simplistic engines) to use the same system variable. InnoDB row locks are unaffected. One exception to the handling of the "lock_wait_timeout" variable is delayed inserts. All delayed inserts are executed with a timeout of 1 year regardless of the setting for the global variable. As the connection issuing the delayed insert gets no notification of delayed insert timeouts, we want to avoid unnecessary timeouts. It's important to note that the timeout value is used for each lock acquired and that one statement can take more than one lock. A statement can therefore block for longer than the lock_wait_timeout value before reporting a timeout error. When lock timeout occurs, ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT is reported. Test case added to lock_multi.test.

A prerequisite patch for the fix for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK. The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g. if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally, see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()). MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it. ****** A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction- agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction, and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait could occur. Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection. Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is produced. The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single MDL context of the connection. Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context. All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list. However, a selected element of the list separates locks with different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel. Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement, or an implicit close. The same approach with sentinel is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES statement has never worked together, the implementation is made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

A prerequisite patch for the fix for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK. The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g. if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally, see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()). MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it. ****** A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction- agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction, and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait could occur. Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection. Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is produced. The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single MDL context of the connection. Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context. All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list. However, a selected element of the list separates locks with different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel. Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement, or an implicit close. The same approach with sentinel is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES statement has never worked together, the implementation is made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge, thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments. This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks".

A prerequisite patch for the fix for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK. The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g. if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally, see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()). MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it. ****** A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction- agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction, and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait could occur. Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection. Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is produced. The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single MDL context of the connection. Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context. All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list. However, a selected element of the list separates locks with different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel. Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement, or an implicit close. The same approach with sentinel is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES statement has never worked together, the implementation is made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

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.

A prerequisite patch for the fix for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK. The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g. if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally, see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()). MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it. ****** A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction- agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction, and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait could occur. Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection. Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is produced. The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single MDL context of the connection. Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context. All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list. However, a selected element of the list separates locks with different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel. Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement, or an implicit close. The same approach with sentinel is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES statement has never worked together, the implementation is made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

After review fixes in progress. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No significant changes in the locking protocol. The import passes the test suite with the exception of deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter are subject to a fix by WL#4144. Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge, thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments. This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks". Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change: Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that was not locked for WRITE. Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or VIEW that was not locked for WRITE. ****** Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.2 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Sat 2008-05-24 14:03:45 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".

Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one tried to kill ALTER TABLE statement on merge table while it was waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() for other connections to close this table. These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code in this case assumed that temporary table representing new version of table was open with adding to THD::temporary_tables list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't always fulfilling this. This patch changes code that opens new version of table to always do this linking in. It also streamlines cleanup process for cases when error occurs while we have new version of table open. ****** WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects" Add libmysqld/mdl.cc to .bzrignore. ****** Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.6 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Sun 2008-05-25 00:33:22 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects".

Implementation of simple deadlock detection for metadata locks. This change is supposed to reduce number of ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK errors which occur when multi-statement transaction encounters conflicting metadata lock in cases when waiting is possible. The idea is not to fail ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error immediately when we encounter conflicting metadata lock. Instead we release all metadata locks acquired by current statement and start to wait until conflicting lock go away. To avoid deadlocks we use simple empiric which aborts waiting with ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error if it turns out that somebody is waiting for metadata locks owned by this transaction. This patch also fixes bug #46273 "MySQL 5.4.4 new MDL: Bug#989 is not fully fixed in case of ALTER". The bug was that concurrent execution of UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE statement as a part of multi-statement transaction that already has used table being updated and ALTER TABLE statement might have resulted of loss of isolation between this transaction and ALTER TABLE statement, which manifested itself as changes performed by ALTER TABLE becoming visible in transaction and wrong binary log order as a consequence. This problem occurred when UPDATE or MULTI-UPDATE's wait in mysql_lock_tables() call was aborted due to metadata lock upgrade performed by concurrent ALTER TABLE. After such abort all metadata locks held by transaction were released but transaction silently continued to be executed as if nothing has happened. We solve this problem by changing our code not to release all locks in such case. Instead we release only locks which were acquired by current statement and then try to reacquire them by restarting open/lock tables process. We piggyback on simple deadlock detector implementation since this change has to be done anyway for it.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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.

A prerequisite patch for the fix for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK. The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g. if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally, see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()). MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it. ****** A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction- agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction, and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait could occur. Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection. Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is produced. The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single MDL context of the connection. Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context. All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list. However, a selected element of the list separates locks with different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel. Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement, or an implicit close. The same approach with sentinel is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES statement has never worked together, the implementation is made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

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 ...

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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).

A prerequisite patch for the fix for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". Introduce a notion of a sentinel to MDL_context. A sentinel is a ticket that separates all tickets in the context into two groups: before and after it. Currently we can have (and need) only one designated sentinel -- it separates all locks taken by LOCK TABLE or HANDLER statement, which must survive COMMIT and ROLLBACK and all other locks, which must be released at COMMIT or ROLLBACK. The tricky part is maintaining the sentinel up to date when someone release its corresponding ticket. This can happen, e.g. if someone issues DROP TABLE under LOCK TABLES (generally, see all calls to release_all_locks_for_name()). MDL_context::release_ticket() is modified to take care of it. ****** A fix and a test case for Bug#46224 "HANDLER statements within a transaction might lead to deadlocks". An attempt to mix HANDLER SQL statements, which are transaction- agnostic, an open multi-statement transaction, and DDL against the involved tables (in a concurrent connection) could lead to a deadlock. The deadlock would occur when HANDLER OPEN or HANDLER READ would have to wait on a conflicting metadata lock. If the connection that issued HANDLER statement also had other metadata locks (say, acquired in scope of a transaction), a classical deadlock situation of mutual wait could occur. Incompatible change: entering LOCK TABLES mode automatically closes all open HANDLERs in the current connection. Incompatible change: previously an attempt to wait on a lock in a connection that has an open HANDLER statement could wait indefinitely/deadlock. After this patch, an error ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK is produced. The idea of the fix is to merge thd->handler_mdl_context with the main mdl_context of the connection, used for transactional locks. This makes deadlock detection possible, since all waits with locks are "visible" and available to analysis in a single MDL context of the connection. Since HANDLER locks and transactional locks have a different life cycle -- HANDLERs are explicitly open and closed, and so are HANDLER locks, explicitly acquired and released, whereas transactional locks "accumulate" till the end of a transaction and are released only with COMMIT, ROLLBACK and ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, a concept of "sentinel" was introduced to MDL_context. All locks, HANDLER and others, reside in the same linked list. However, a selected element of the list separates locks with different life cycle. HANDLER locks always reside at the end of the list, after the sentinel. Transactional locks are prepended to the beginning of the list, before the sentinel. Thus, ROLLBACK, COMMIT or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, only release those locks that reside before the sentinel. HANDLER locks must be released explicitly as part of HANDLER CLOSE statement, or an implicit close. The same approach with sentinel is also employed for LOCK TABLES locks. Since HANDLER and LOCK TABLES statement has never worked together, the implementation is made simple and only maintains one sentinel, which is used either for HANDLER locks, or for LOCK TABLES locks.

Bug #45225 Locking: hang if drop table with no timeout This patch introduces timeouts for metadata locks. The timeout is specified in seconds using the new dynamic system variable "lock_wait_timeout" which has both GLOBAL and SESSION scopes. Allowed values range from 1 to 31536000 seconds (= 1 year). The default value is 1 year. The new server parameter "lock-wait-timeout" can be used to set the default value parameter upon server startup. "lock_wait_timeout" applies to all statements that use metadata locks. These include DML and DDL operations on tables, views, stored procedures and stored functions. They also include LOCK TABLES, FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and HANDLER statements. The patch also changes thr_lock.c code (table data locks used by MyISAM and other simplistic engines) to use the same system variable. InnoDB row locks are unaffected. One exception to the handling of the "lock_wait_timeout" variable is delayed inserts. All delayed inserts are executed with a timeout of 1 year regardless of the setting for the global variable. As the connection issuing the delayed insert gets no notification of delayed insert timeouts, we want to avoid unnecessary timeouts. It's important to note that the timeout value is used for each lock acquired and that one statement can take more than one lock. A statement can therefore block for longer than the lock_wait_timeout value before reporting a timeout error. When lock timeout occurs, ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT is reported. Test case added to lock_multi.test.

Implement new type-of-operation-aware metadata locks. 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 ...

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.

Bug #45225 Locking: hang if drop table with no timeout This patch introduces timeouts for metadata locks. The timeout is specified in seconds using the new dynamic system variable "lock_wait_timeout" which has both GLOBAL and SESSION scopes. Allowed values range from 1 to 31536000 seconds (= 1 year). The default value is 1 year. The new server parameter "lock-wait-timeout" can be used to set the default value parameter upon server startup. "lock_wait_timeout" applies to all statements that use metadata locks. These include DML and DDL operations on tables, views, stored procedures and stored functions. They also include LOCK TABLES, FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK and HANDLER statements. The patch also changes thr_lock.c code (table data locks used by MyISAM and other simplistic engines) to use the same system variable. InnoDB row locks are unaffected. One exception to the handling of the "lock_wait_timeout" variable is delayed inserts. All delayed inserts are executed with a timeout of 1 year regardless of the setting for the global variable. As the connection issuing the delayed insert gets no notification of delayed insert timeouts, we want to avoid unnecessary timeouts. It's important to note that the timeout value is used for each lock acquired and that one statement can take more than one lock. A statement can therefore block for longer than the lock_wait_timeout value before reporting a timeout error. When lock timeout occurs, ER_LOCK_WAIT_TIMEOUT is reported. Test case added to lock_multi.test.

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.

Initial import of WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects". Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.1 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Fri 2008-05-23 17:54:03 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects". After review fixes in progress. ------------------------------------------------------------ This is the first patch in series. It transforms the metadata locking subsystem to use a dedicated module (mdl.h,cc). No significant changes in the locking protocol. The import passes the test suite with the exception of deprecated/removed 6.0 features, and MERGE tables. The latter are subject to a fix by WL#4144. Unfortunately, the original changeset comments got lost in a merge, thus this import has its own (largely insufficient) comments. This patch fixes Bug#25144 "replication / binlog with view breaks". Warning: this patch introduces an incompatible change: Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to FLUSH a table that was not locked for WRITE. Under LOCK TABLES, it's no longer possible to DROP a table or VIEW that was not locked for WRITE. ****** Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.2 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Sat 2008-05-24 14:03:45 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects". After review fixes in progress. ****** Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.3 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Sat 2008-05-24 14:08:51 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects" Fixed failing Windows builds by adding mdl.cc to the lists of files needed to build server/libmysqld on Windows. ****** Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.4 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Sat 2008-05-24 21:57:58 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects". Fix for assert failures in kill.test which occured when one tried to kill ALTER TABLE statement on merge table while it was waiting in wait_while_table_is_used() for other connections to close this table. These assert failures stemmed from the fact that cleanup code in this case assumed that temporary table representing new version of table was open with adding to THD::temporary_tables list while code which were opening this temporary table wasn't always fulfilling this. This patch changes code that opens new version of table to always do this linking in. It also streamlines cleanup process for cases when error occurs while we have new version of table open. ****** WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects" Add libmysqld/mdl.cc to .bzrignore. ****** Backport of: ------------------------------------------------------------ revno: 2630.4.6 committer: Dmitry Lenev <dlenev@mysql.com> branch nick: mysql-6.0-3726-w timestamp: Sun 2008-05-25 00:33:22 +0400 message: WL#3726 "DDL locking for all metadata objects". Addition to the fix of assert failures in kill.test caused by changes for this worklog. Make sure we close the new table only once.

  471. All MDL tickets acquired by this connection.
  472. The order of tickets in m_tickets list.
  473. ---------------------------------------
  474. The entire set of locks acquired by a connection
  475. can be separated in two subsets: transactional and
  476. non-transactional locks.
  477. Transactional locks are locks with automatic scope. They
  478. are accumulated in the course of a transaction, and
  479. released only on COMMIT, ROLLBACK or ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT.
  480. They must not be (and never are) released manually,
  481. i.e. with release_lock() call.
  482. Non-transactional locks are taken for locks that span
  483. multiple transactions or savepoints.
  484. These are: HANDLER SQL locks (HANDLER SQL is
  485. transaction-agnostic), LOCK TABLES locks (you can COMMIT/etc
  486. under LOCK TABLES, and the locked tables stay locked), and
  487. SET GLOBAL READ_ONLY=1 global shared lock.
  488. Transactional locks are always prepended to the beginning
  489. of the list. In other words, they are stored in reverse
  490. temporal order. Thus, when we rollback to a savepoint,
  491. we start popping and releasing tickets from the front
  492. until we reach the last ticket acquired after the
  493. savepoint.
  494. Non-transactional locks are always stored after
  495. transactional ones, and among each other can be
  496. split into three sets:
  497. [LOCK TABLES locks] [HANDLER locks] [GLOBAL READ LOCK locks]
  498. The following is known about these sets:
  499. * we can never have both HANDLER and LOCK TABLES locks
  500. together -- HANDLER statements are prohibited under LOCK
  501. TABLES, entering LOCK TABLES implicitly closes all open
  502. HANDLERs.
  503. * GLOBAL READ LOCK locks are always stored after LOCK TABLES
  504. locks and after HANDLER locks. This is because one can't say
  505. SET GLOBAL read_only=1 or FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK
  506. if one has locked tables. One can, however, LOCK TABLES
  507. after having entered the read only mode. Note, that
  508. subsequent LOCK TABLES statement will unlock the previous
  509. set of tables, but not the GRL!
  510. There are no HANDLER locks after GRL locks because
  511. SET GLOBAL read_only performs a FLUSH TABLES WITH
  512. READ LOCK internally, and FLUSH TABLES, in turn, implicitly
  513. closes all open HANDLERs.
  514. However, one can open a few HANDLERs after entering the
  515. read only mode.
