When a client connects to a MySQL server, first a THD object is created. If there are any idle server threads waiting, the THD object is then added to a list and a server thread is woken up. This thread then retrieves the THD object from the list and starts executing. The problem was that this list of THD objects waiting for a server thread, was not working in a FIFO fashion, but rather LIFO. This is unfair, as it means that the last THD added (=last client connected) will be assigned a server thread first. Note however that for this to be a problem, several clients must be able to connect and have THD objects constructed before any server threads manages to be woken up. This is not a very likely scenario. This patch fixes the problem by changing the THD list to work FIFO rather than LIFO. This is the 5.1/5.5 version of the patch.
