PROBLEM
--------
When we drop a partitoned table , we first gather the
information about partitions in the table from the 
table_name.par file and store it in an internal data 
structure.Then we delete this file and the data in 
the table. If the server crashes  after deleting the
file,then after recovering we cannot access the table
.Even we cannot drop the table ,because drop algorithm
requires par file to read the partition information.


FIX
---
1. We move the part of deleting par file after deleting 
   all the table data from the storage egine.
2. During drop operation if we detect that the par 
   file is missing then we delete the .frm file,since 
   there is no way of recovering without par file.

'mysqbinlog' tool creates a temporary file while 
preparing LOAD DATA QUERY. These files needs to be deleted
at the end of the test script otherwise these files are
left out in the daily-run machines, causing
"no space on device issues"
      
Fix: 
Delete them at the end of these test scripts
1) execute mysqlbinlog with --local-load option to
create these files in a specified tmpdir
2) delete the tmpdir at the end of the test script

                                 STRING CONVERSION FUNCTIONS
            
Problem:
While executing the prepared statement, user variable is
set to memory which would be freed at the end of
execution.
If the statement is executed again, valgrind throws
error when accessing this pointer.
                  
Analysis:
                
1. First time when Item_func_set_user_var::check is called,
   memory is allocated for "value" to store the result.
   (In the call to copy_if_not_alloced).
2. While sending the result, Item_func_set_user_var::check
   is called again. But, this time, its called with
   "use_result_field" set to true. 
   As a result, we call result_field->val_str(&value).
3. Here memory allocated for "value" gets freed. And "value"
   gets set to "result_field", with "str_length" being that of
   result_field's.
4. In the call to JOIN::cleanup, result_field's memory gets
   freed as this is allocated in a chunk as part of the
   temporary table which is needed to execute the query.
5. Next time, when execute of the same statement is called,
   "value" will be set to memory which is already freed.
   Valgrind error occurs as "str_length" is positive 
   (set at Step 3)
                  
Note that user variables list is stored as part of the Lex object
in set_var_list. Hence the persistance across executions.
            
Solution:
Patch for Bug#11764371 fixed in mysql-5.6+ fixes this problem 
as well.So backporting the same.
            
In the solution for Bug#11764371, we create another object of 
user_var and repoint it to temp_table's field. As a result while 
deleting the alloced buffer in Step 3, since the cloned object 
does not own the buffer, deletion will not happen.
So at step 5 when we execute the statement second time, the 
original object will be used and since deletion did not happen 
valgrind will not complain about dangling pointer.

INSERT BUFFER MERGE

Problem:

When the record is merged from the change buffer to the actual page,
in a particular condition, it is assumed that the deleted rec will
be re-used by the inserted rec.  With this assumption the lock is
restored on the pointer to the deleted rec itself, thinking that
it is pointing to the newly inserted rec.

Solution:

Just before restoring the lock, update the rec pointer to point
to the newly inserted record.  An assert has been added to verify
this.  This assert will fail without the fix and will pass with
the fix.

rb#2449 in review by Marko and Jimmy

In order to keep error message numbers stable between GA releases, we
can not now add a new error message to 5.1/5.5 as this message would get 
a number now used in 5.6.

This patch enforces this by adding a 5.1/5.5 specific check when processing
the error message file. If a new error message is added, building will
abort and report an error.

When a record contains no user data bytes (such as when the PRIMARY
KEY is an empty string and all secondary index fields are NULL or the
empty string), page_zip_decompress() could fail to set the record
heap_no correctly.

page_zip_decompress_node_ptrs(), page_zip_decompress_sec(),
page_zip_decompress_clust(): Set heap_no also at the end of the
compressed data stream.

innobase_convert_to_filename_charset() was by mistake kept within
the conditional compilation of UNIV_COMPILE_TEST_FUNCS.  Now placing
the function out of UNIV_COMPILE_TEST_FUNCS.  Also, removed the
unnecessary log message (as in 5.6+).

Reverting fix for Bug#16119355 in 5.1 as this needs two patches 
from 5.5+ to work for a certain case

Description:
 Fixing a build issue.  The function innobase_convert_to_system_charset()
 is included only in the builtin InnoDB, and it is missed in InnoDB
 plugin.  Adding this function in InnoDB plugin as well.

The problem happened due to broken left expression in Item_in_optimizer object.
In case of the bug left expression is runtime created Item_outer_ref item which
is deleted at the end of the statement and one of Item_in_optimizer arguments
becomes bad when re-executed. The fix is to use real_item() instead of original
left expression. Note: It feels a bit weird that after preparing, the field is
directly part of the generated Item_func_eq, whereas in execution it is replaced
with an Item_outer_ref wrapper object.

Bug #16754901 PARS_INFO_FREE NOT CALLED IN DICT_CREATE_ADD_FOREIGN_TO_DICTIONARY

Bug #16754901 PARS_INFO_FREE NOT CALLED IN DICT_CREATE_ADD_FOREIGN_TO_DICTIONARY

Problem:

There are two situations here.  The constraint name is explicitly
given by the user and the constraint name is automatically generated
by InnoDB.  In the case of generated constraint name, it is formed by
adding table name as prefix.  The table names are stored internally in
my_charset_filename.  In the case of constraint name explicitly given
by the user, it is stored in UTF8 format itself.  So, in some
situations the constraint name is in utf8 and in some situations it is
in my_charset_filename format.  Hence this problem.

Solution:

Always store the foreign key constraint name in UTF-8 even when
automatically generated.

Bug #16754901 PARS_INFO_FREE NOT CALLED IN DICT_CREATE_ADD_FOREIGN_TO_DICTIONARY

Problem:

There was a memory leak in the function dict_create_add_foreign_to_dictionary().
The allocated pars_info_t object is not freed in the error code path.

Solution:

Allocate the pars_info_t object after the error checking.

GROUP BY, MYISAM 

Problem:-
In a query, where we are using loose index scan optimization and 
we have MIN() causes segmentation fault(where table row length 
is less then key_length).

Analysis:

While using loose index scan for MIN(), we call key_copy(), to copy 
the key data from record.
This function is using temporary record buffer to store key data 
from the record buffer.But in case where the key length is greater 
then the buffer length, this will cause a segmentation fault.


Solution:
Give a proper buffer to store a key record.

OPENING MISSING PARTITION

In the ha_innobase::open() call, for normal tables, there is no retry logic.
But for partitioned tables, there is a retry logic introduced as fix for:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=33349  
https://support.mysql.com/view.php?id=21080

The Bug#33349, does not provide sufficient information to analyze the original
problem.  The original problem reported by bug#33349 is also minor (just an
annoyance and no loss of functionality).  Most importantly, the retry logic
has been introduced without any associated test case.

So we are removing the retry logic for partitioned tables.  When the original
problem occurs, a different solution will be explored.

Problem:
In query like
select 1 from .. order by match .. against ...;
causes a debug assert failue.

Analysis:
In union type query like

(select * from order by a) order by b;
or
(select * from order by a) union (select * from order by b);

We skip resolving of order by a for 1st query and order by of a and b in 
2nd query.


This means that, in case when our order by have Item_func_match class, 
we skip resolving it.
But we maintain a ft_func_list and at the time of optimization, when we 
Perform FULLTEXT search before all regular searches on the bases of the 
list we call Item_func_match::init_search() which will cause debug assert 
as the item is not resolved.


Solution:
We will skip execution if the item is not fixed and we will not 
fix index(Item_func_match::fix_index()) for which 
Item_func_match::fix_field() is not called so that on later changes 
we can check the dependency on fix field.

Problem:
The context info of select query gets corrupted when a query
with group_concat having order by is present in an order by
clause of the select query. As a result, server crashes with
an assert.
      
Analysis:
While parsing order by for group_concat, it is presumed that
it is always present before the actual order by for the
select query.
As a result, parser uses select->order_list to populate the
order by items of group_concat and creates a select->gorder_list
to which select->order_list is copied onto. Once this is done,
it empties the select->order_list.
In the case presented in the bugpage, as order by is already
parsed when group_concat's order by is encountered, parser
presumes that it is the second order by in the select query
and creates fake_lex_unit which results in the change of
context info.
      
Solution:
Make group_concat's order by parsing independent of the select
