      Bug#30632 HANDLER read failure causes hang · 77d78a88
      davi@moksha.local authored
      If, after the tables are locked, one of the conditions to read from a
      HANDLER table is not met, the handler code wrongly jumps to a error path
      that won't unlock the tables.
      
      The user-visible effect is that after a error in a handler read command,
      all subsequent handler operations on the same table will hang.
      
      The fix is simply to correct the code to jump to the (same) error path that
      unlocks the tables.

      Bug#25164 create table `a` as select * from `A` hangs · 91e1cc21
      davi@moksha.local authored
      The problem from a user's perspective: user creates table A, and then tries
      to CREATE TABLE a SELECT from A - and this causes a deadlock error, a hang,
      or fails with a debug assert, but only if the storage engine is InnoDB.
      
      The origin of the problem: InnoDB uses case-insensitive collation
      (system_charset_info) when looking up the internal table share, thus returning
      the same share for 'a' and 'A'.
      
      Cause of the user-visible behavior: since the same share is returned to SQL
      locking subsystem, it assumes that the same table is first locked (within the
      same session) for WRITE, and then for READ, and returns a deadlock error.
      However, the code is wrong in not properly cleaning up upon an error, leaving
      external locks in place, which leads to assertion failures and hangs.
      
      Fix that has been implemented: the SQL layer should properly propagate the
      deadlock error, cleaning up and freeing all resources.
      
      Further work towards a more complete solution: InnoDB should not use case
      insensitive collation for table share hash if table names on disk honor the case.

      Bug#30333 (Performance, expressions lists in the parser) · 81114a72
      malff/marcsql@weblab.(none) authored
      Before this patch, the parser would execute:
      - Select->expr_list.push_front()
      - Select->expr_list.pop()
      when parsing expressions lists, in the following rules:
      - udf_expr_list
      - expr_list
      - ident_list
      
      This is unnecessary, and introduces overhead due to the memory allocations
      performed with Select->expr_list
      
      With this patch, this code has been removed.
      The list being parsed is maintained in the parser stack instead.
      
      Also, 'udf_expr_list' has been renamed 'opt_udf_expr_list', since this
      production can be empty.

      Bug#30237 (Performance regression in boolean expressions) · 82f99c93
      malff/marcsql@weblab.(none) authored
      This is a performance bug, related to the parsing or 'OR' and 'AND' boolean
      expressions.
      
      Let N be the number of expressions involved in a OR (respectively AND).
      
      When N=1
      
      For example, "select 1" involve only 1 term: there is no OR operator.
      
      In 4.0 and 4.1, parsing expressions not involving OR had no overhead.
      In 5.0, parsing adds some overhead, with Select->expr_list.
      
      With this patch, the overhead introduced in 5.0 has been removed,
      so that performances for N=1 should be identical to the 4.0 performances,
      which are optimal (there is no code executed at all)
      
      The overhead in 5.0 was in fact affecting significantly some operations.
      For example, loading 1 Million rows into a table with INSERTs,
      for a table that has 100 columns, leads to parsing 100 Millions of
      expressions, which means that the overhead related to Select->expr_list
      is executed 100 Million times ...
      
      Considering that N=1 is by far the most probable expression,
      this case should be optimal.
      
      When N=2
      
      For example, "select a OR b" involves 2 terms in the OR operator.
      
      In 4.0 and 4.1, parsing expressions involving 2 terms created 1 Item_cond_or
      node, which is the expected result.
      In 5.0, parsing these expression also produced 1 node, but with some extra
      overhead related to Select->expr_list : creating 1 list in Select->expr_list
      and another in Item_cond::list is inefficient.
      
      With this patch, the overhead introduced in 5.0 has been removed
      so that performances for N=2 should be identical to the 4.0 performances.
      Note that the memory allocation uses the new (thd->mem_root) syntax
      directly.
      The cost of "is_cond_or" is estimated to be neglectable: the real problem
      of the performance degradation comes from unneeded memory allocations.
      
      When N>=3
      
      For example, "select a OR b OR c ...", which involves 3 or more terms.
      
      In 4.0 and 4.1, the parser had no significant cost overhead, but produced
      an Item tree which is difficult to evaluate / optimize during runtime.
      In 5.0, the parser produces a better Item tree, using the Item_cond
      constructor that accepts a list of children directly, but at an extra cost
      related to Select->expr_list.
      
      With this patch, the code is implemented to take the best of the two
      implementations:
      - there is no overhead with Select->expr_list
      - the Item tree generated is optimized and flattened.
      
      This is achieved by adding children nodes into the Item tree directly,
      with Item_cond::add(), which avoids the need for temporary lists and memory
      allocation
      
      Note that this patch also provide an extra optimization, that the previous
      code in 5.0 did not provide: expressions are flattened in the Item tree,
      based on what the expression already parsed is, and not based on the order
      in which rules are reduced.
      
      For example : "(a OR b) OR c", "a OR (b OR c)" would both be represented
      with 2 Item_cond_or nodes before this patch, and with 1 node only with this
      patch. The logic used is based on the mathematical properties of the OR
      operator (it's associative), and produces a simpler tree.
