This deadlock occurs when a client issues a HANDLER ... OPEN statement that tries to open a table that has a pending name-lock on it by another client that also needs a name-lock on some other table which is already open and associated to a HANDLER instance owned by the first client. The deadlock happens because the open_table() function will back-off and wait until the name-lock goes away, causing a circular wait if some other name-lock is also pending for one of the open HANDLER tables. Such situation, for example, can be easily repeated by issuing a RENAME TABLE command in such a way that the existing table is already open as a HANDLER table by another client and this client tries to open a HANDLER to the new table name. The solution is to allow handler tables with older versions (marked for flush) to be closed before waiting for the name-lock completion. This is safe because no other name-lock can be issued between the flush and the check for pending name-locks. The test case for this bug is going to be committed into 5.1 because it requires a test feature only avaiable in 5.1 (wait_condition).
