  Fix Bug#38185 ha_innobase::info can hold locks even when called with HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK
  
  The fix is to call fsp_get_available_space_in_free_extents() from
  ha_innobase::info() only if HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK is not present in the flag
  *AND*
  change get_schema_tables_record() in MySQL's sql/sql_show.cc to call
  ::info() *without* HA_STATUS_NO_LOCK whenever a user issues SELECT FROM
  information_schema.tables;
  
  Without the change to sql/sql_show.cc this patch would lead to Bug#32440
  resurfacing. I.e. delete_length would never be updated in ::info() and
  will remain 0 forever, resulting in the free space not being shown
  anywhere.
  
  This is the change to sql/sql_show.cc for reference, it needs to be
  committed to the MySQL repo before or at the same time with this change

buf_pool->LRU_old_len.  However, we forgot to check if buf_pool->LRU_old
happens to point to b's successor in the LRU list.  If it does, we must
assign buf_pool->LRU_old = b.  The following invariants hold:

In the LRU list, the "old" flag should grow monotonically, i.e., it is 0
for the first few items and 1 from thereafter.

If buf_pool->LRU_old != NULL, it must point to the first item with old=1
in the LRU list, and there must be buf_pool->LRU_old_len old items in the list.

This should fix Mantis issue#50 and issue#68.

The cardinality of every index (the number of different key values) is
calculated when the table is opened, at SHOW TABLE STATUS,
ANALYZE TABLE and on other circumstances (like when the table has
changed too much). Note that if the mysql client is running with the
auto-rehash setting turned on (default) this causes all tables to be
opened when it starts.

Previously InnoDB sampled 8 random pages from the index to get an
estimate of the cardinality. Now the number of sampled pages can be
changed via the global parameter innodb_stats_sample_pages which can
be tuned at runtime. The default value for this parameter is 8.

If the value of this parameter is changed, there may be serious problems:

- small values (say, 1) can cause an error in table stats;
- values much larger than 8 (say, 100), can cause a big slowdown in
  table opening time, SHOW TABLE status, etc.
- query plans may be different from the old ones.

This fix makes two basic changes in blob handling:
(The bug was introduced in r2252)

1) The blob prefixes are no longer stored in the undo if
  a) We are modifying a delete marked record and
  b) The record was delete marked by an already committed trx.

2) When building old row version to check if one of these versions
can hold an implicit lock on the record we stop our probe if
  a) The version is delete marked and
  b) The delete marking is done by a trx which is different from
     the current active trx on the record.

has been asked if this change is intended:
http://lists.mysql.com/internals/35805

Regardless of the answer we need to adjust to the new behavior to get
the test to succeed. If they switch back, then we will revert this commit.

Add a space in a warning message. No functional change to the code.
The original message is "invalid innodb_file_format_checkvalue;...".
The new one is "invalid innodb_file_format_check value;..."

Fixes issue# 51 - by removing the negative test cases that produce
warnings. The warnings cause mysql-test-run to fail.

Those negative test cases will be moved to separate test/result files.

Disable part of innodb-index test because MySQL changed its behavior and
is not calling ::add_index() anymore in the following ALTER TABLE:

CREATE TABLE t (a INT) ENGINE=INNODB;
INSERT INTO t VALUES (NULL);
ALTER TABLE t ADD PRIMARY KEY (a);  -- adding primary index on non-NULL column

Previously, in ALTER TABLE, MySQL would call ::add_index() which would
fail with a "primary key cannot contain NULL" error.

    Bug#33873: Fast ALTER TABLE doesn't work with multibyte character sets
    
    The problem was that when comparing tables for a possible
    fast alter table, the comparison was being performed using
    the parsed information and not the final definition.
          
    The solution is to use the possible final table layout to

      Bug#31210: INSERT DELAYED crashes server when used on partitioned tables
        
      Problem was an unclear error message since it could suggest that
      MyISAM did not support INSERT DELAYED.
      Changed the error message to say that DELAYED is not supported by the
      table, instead of the table's storage engine.
      The confusion is that a partitioned table is in somewhat sense using
      the partitioning storage engine, which in turn uses the ordinary
      storage engine. By saying that the table does not support DELAYED we
      do not give any extra informantion about the storage engine or if it
      is partitioned.

Rewrite the function innodb_plugin_init() to support parameters in
different order (in static and dynamic InnoDB) and to support more
parameters in the static InnoDB.
 
The previous implementation traversed both lists at the same time,
skipping parameters in the dynamic list that do not exist in the static
list. E.g. both lists were allowed to be static=(a, b, c),
dynamic=(a, b, c) or static=(a, b, c), dynamic=(a, b, x, c).
 
With the new implementation they are allowed to be
static=(a, b, c), dynamic=(b, a, c) or
static=(a, b, x, c), dynamic=(b, a, c) in addition.

The new implementation has complexity O(N^2) while the old one was O(N),
but this is acceptable sacrifice provided that innodb_plugin_init() is
called once per InnoDB lifetime and that N=39 currently, and N is not
going to increase much in the future, N=number of the InnoDB parameters.

  (18:29:05) vasil: this is the change inside drop_index(), that is supposed to "Lock the user table within prebuilt->trx"
  (18:29:26) Heikki:   trans_register_ha(user_thd, FALSE, ht);
  + prebuilt->trx->active_trans = 1;
  (18:29:34) Heikki: I think the above code should be removed
  (18:29:53) Heikki: MySQL is not interested in InnoDB's transaction in this case
  (18:30:33) Heikki: Alternatively, we should use innobase_commit() instead of trx_commit_...
  (18:31:01) vasil: but there are many places in ::add_index() where it could return before reaching the trx_commit...
  (18:31:12) vasil: leaving active_traans=1
  (18:31:56) Heikki: Does Marko handle the errors with trx_rollback()?
  (18:32:08) vasil: let me see..
  (18:32:30) Heikki: It is risky to leave error handling to MySQL :(
  (18:32:35) vasil: 
   651         if (UNIV_UNLIKELY(error)) {
   652 err_exit:
   653                 mem_heap_free(heap);
   654                 trx_general_rollback_for_mysql(trx, FALSE, NULL);
   655                 trx_free_for_mysql(trx);
   656                 trx_commit_for_mysql(prebuilt->trx);
   657                 DBUG_RETURN(error);
   658         }
  
  (18:32:43) Heikki: Ok
  (18:33:25) Heikki: Please remove the ha_register... and active_trx =1 ....
  (18:33:42) Heikki: Then check if it prints something
  (18:34:08) Heikki: I believe MySQL is not interested in how the engine does the index build
  (18:34:11) vasil: why remove ha_register?
  (18:34:28) Heikki: Because there is no transaction visible to MySQL
  (18:34:53) vasil: the ha_register call was there from before
  (18:35:09) Heikki: Registers that InnoDB takes part in an SQL statement, so that MySQL knows to
  roll back the statement if the statement results in an error. This MUST be
  called for every SQL statement that may be rolled back by MySQL. Calling this
  several times to register the same statement is allowed, too. 
  (18:36:01) Heikki: Hmm
  (18:36:17) Heikki: Obviously, MySQL does NOT call commit at the end
  (18:36:36) Heikki: Because then innobase_commit() would set active_trx=0!
  (18:37:00) Heikki: Ok, maybe MySQL thinks CREATE INDEX is NOT a transactional statement
  (18:37:21) Heikki: Then, .._register_.. should be removed
  (18:37:51) Heikki: It is logical this way. If it also passes test, even better
  (18:38:21) vasil: ha_registrer in add_index() was added in r1845 and in drop_index() in r2128, let me read the comments..
  (18:38:55) vasil:

  (smart ALTER TABLE) from ha_innodb.cc to a separate module, handler0alter.cc.
  
  (18:39:05) Heikki: One thing you must check is that MySQL does write the CREATE INDEX in the binlog, even if we remove the _register_
  (18:39:41) Heikki: I assume Marko did not know if MySQL thinks CREATE INDEX is transactional or not
  (18:39:49) Heikki: He thought it is transactional

  for dropping the index trees, and set the dictionary operation flag, similar
  to what ha_innobase::add_index() does.  This should ensure correct crash
  recovery.
  
  (18:40:10) Heikki: Ok
  (18:40:17) vasil: how do you know CREATE INDEX is not transactional?
  (18:40:33) Heikki: You cannot roll it back
  (18:40:44) vasil: ok
  (18:41:03) Heikki: MySQL devs probably thought this way
  (18:44:15) vasil: hmm
  (18:44:21) vasil: about r1845
  (18:45:00) vasil: the comments says "move the code" but it is actually "move and change the code"
  (18:45:28) Heikki: Well
  (18:45:29) vasil: the code that is deleted from ha_innodb is this:
  (18:45:32) vasil: 
  -       update_thd(ha_thd());
  -
  -       heap = mem_heap_create(1024);
  -
  -       /* In case MySQL calls this in the middle of a SELECT query, release
  -       possible adaptive hash latch to avoid deadlocks of threads. */
  -       trx_search_latch_release_if_reserved(check_trx_exists(user_thd));
  -
  -       trx = trx_allocate_for_mysql();
  -       trx_start_if_not_started(trx);
  -
  -       innobase_register_stmt(ht, user_thd);
  -
  -       trx->mysql_thd = user_thd;
  
  (18:45:38) vasil: (in add_index)
  (18:45:48) inaam left the room.
  (18:45:52) vasil: but the new one in handler0alter is this:
  (18:46:16) vasil: 
  +       update_thd(ha_thd());
  +
  +       heap = mem_heap_create(1024);
  +
  +       /* In case MySQL calls this in the middle of a SELECT query, release
  +       possible adaptive hash latch to avoid deadlocks of threads. */
  +       trx_search_latch_release_if_reserved(check_trx_exists(user_thd));
  +
  +       trx = trx_allocate_for_mysql();
  +       trx_start_if_not_started(trx);
  +
  +       trans_register_ha(user_thd, FALSE, ht);
  +
  +       trx->mysql_thd = user_thd;
  
  (18:46:48) vasil: innobase_register_stmt(ht, user_thd); was substituted with trans_register_ha(user_thd, FALSE, ht); during the move
  (18:46:49) Heikki: I do not see how MySQL could call it in the middle of a SELECT query!
  (18:46:59) Heikki: Yes
  (18:47:21) Heikki: Did Marko change innobase_register_stmt() code too?
  (18:48:05) vasil: not in this commit r1845
  (18:48:54) Heikki: Anyway, please test a version where you remove the register thing
  (18:49:08) vasil: and active_trans=1?
  (18:49:15) Heikki: Remove that, too
  (18:49:35) Heikki: innobase_register_stmt(
  /*===================*/
          handlerton*     hton,   /* in: Innobase hton */
          THD*    thd)    /* in: MySQL thd (connection) object */

          /* Register the statement */
          trans_register_ha(thd, FALSE, hton);
  }
  
  (18:50:23) Heikki: looks pretty much the same as what Marko has in the later version
  (18:50:43) vasil: innobase_register_stmt() was added in add_index() in r1584
  (18:50:47) vasil: 
  r1584 | marko | 2007-06-18 15:46:42 +0300 (Mon, 18 Jun 2007) | 12 lines
  
  branches/zip: ha_innobase::add_index(): Split some assertions.
  Remove the variable parent_trx.
  
  Call innobase_register_stmt() in order to work around a MySQL bug
  in mysql_alter_table(), which, as of
  
  ChangeSet@1.2482.61.2, 2007-06-07 16:37:15+02:00, joerg@trift2. +8 -0
  
  commits the transaction before calling ha_innobase::add_index().
  Without re-registering the statement, the ha_commit_stmt(thd)
  in mysql_alter_table() would not invoke innobase_commit.
  
  (18:51:56) Heikki: But it does not seem to invoke it now, because active_trans is left 1!
  (18:54:15) Heikki: Apparently, there has been confusion also among MySQL devs whether CREATE INDEX is transactional or not
  (18:54:45) vasil: :-(
  (18:54:53) Heikki: The most robust way is to handle all commits and rollbacks internally inside InnoDB and not tell MySQL anything about InnoDB's internal transactions
  (18:55:01) Heikki: That is my idea
  (18:55:20) Heikki: Then MySQL cannot spoil the logic of the code
  (18:55:59) vasil: mysql_alter_table() is ~1100 lines
  (18:56:08) vasil: and you suggest what?
  (18:56:43) Heikki: I suggest removing the ..._register_... thing and active_trans = 1
  (18:57:08) Heikki: Those things tell MySQL that there is a transaction going on
  (18:57:14) Heikki: Better not to tell
  (18:57:29) vasil: and possibly ignoring the above comment in r1584, "Call innobase_register_stmt() in order to work around a MySQL bug
  in mysql_alter_table()........."
  (18:57:32) vasil: ?
  (18:57:36) Heikki: Yes
  (18:57:38) vasil: ok
  (18:57:44) vasil: same for drop_index?
  (18:57:48) Heikki: Yes

Approved by:	Heikki

Add the patches that are needed to make autotest.sh succeed.

Fixed the issue where an unchanged blob column that is part of the
primary key as well is lost if it is externally stored.

The fix is provided by Marko.

Reviewed by: Sunny

This is to fix an unintended side effect of file_format_check changes.
We were reading the trx system page (TRX_SYS_PAGE_NO) before starting
recovery and that resulted in redo logs not being applied to the page.
The fix is to force a reread by calling buf_pool_invalidate().
This, however, made necessary that any writes to page are deferred to
until after the redo log application.
