Bug#25422 (Hang with log tables) Bug 17876 (Truncating mysql.slow_log in a SP after using cursor locks the thread) Bug 23044 (Warnings on flush of a log table) Bug 29129 (Resetting general_log while the GLOBAL READ LOCK is set causes a deadlock) Prior to this fix, the server would hang when performing concurrent ALTER TABLE or TRUNCATE TABLE statements against the LOG TABLES, which are mysql.general_log and mysql.slow_log. The root cause traces to the following code: in sql_base.cc, open_table() if (table->in_use != thd) { /* wait_for_condition will unlock LOCK_open for us */ wait_for_condition(thd, &LOCK_open, &COND_refresh); } The problem with this code is that the current implementation of the LOGGER creates 'fake' THD objects, like - Log_to_csv_event_handler::general_log_thd - Log_to_csv_event_handler::slow_log_thd which are not associated to a real thread running in the server, so that waiting for these non-existing threads to release table locks cause the dead lock. In general, the design of Log_to_csv_event_handler does not fit into the general architecture of the server, so that the concept of general_log_thd and slow_log_thd has to be abandoned: - this implementation does not work with table locking - it will not work with commands like SHOW PROCESSLIST - having the log tables always opened does not integrate well with DDL operations / FLUSH TABLES / SET GLOBAL READ_ONLY With this patch, the fundamental design of the LOGGER has been changed to: - always open and close a log table when writing a log - remove totally the usage of fake THD objects - clarify how locking of log tables is implemented in general. See WL#3984 for details related to the new locking design. Additional changes (misc bugs exposed and fixed): 1) mysqldump which would ignore some tables in dump_all_tables_in_db(), but forget to ignore the same in dump_all_views_in_db(). 2) mysqldump would also issue an empty "LOCK TABLE" command when all the tables to lock are to be ignored (numrows == 0), instead of not issuing the query. 3) Internal errors handlers could intercept errors but not warnings (see sql_error.cc). 4) Implementing a nested call to open tables, for the performance schema tables, exposed an existing bug in remove_table_from_cache(), which would perform: in_use->some_tables_deleted=1; against another thread, without any consideration about thread locking. This call inside remove_table_from_cache() was not required anyway, since calling mysql_lock_abort() takes care of aborting -- cleanly -- threads that might hold a lock on a table. This line (in_use->some_tables_deleted=1) has been removed.
