Bug #48210 FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK deadlocks against concurrent CREATE PROCEDURE This deadlock occured between a) CREATE PROCEDURE (or other commands listed below) b) FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK If the execution of them happened in the following order: - a) opens a table (e.g. mysql.proc) - b) locks the global read lock (or GRL) - a) sleeps inside wait_if_global_read_lock() - b) increases refresh_version and sleeps waiting for old tables to go away Note that a) must start waiting on the GRL before FLUSH increases refresh_version. Otherwise a) won't wait on the GRL and instead close its tables for reopen, allowing FLUSH to complete and thus avoid the deadlock. With this patch the deadlock is avoided by making CREATE PROCEDURE acquire a protection against global read locks before it starts executing. This means that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will have to wait until CREATE PROCEDURE completes before acquiring the global read lock, thereby avoiding the deadlock. This is implemented by introducing a new SQL command flag called CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL. Commands marked with this flag will acquire a GRL protection in the beginning of mysql_execute_command(). This patch adds the flag to CREATE, ALTER and DROP for PROCEDURE and FUNCTION, as well as CREATE USER, DROP USER, RENAME USER and REVOKE ALL. All these commands either call open_grant_tables() or open_system_table_for_updated() which make them susceptible for this deadlock. The patch also adds the CF_PROTECT_AGAINST_GRL flag to a number of commands that previously acquired GRL protection in their respective SQLCOM case in mysql_execute_command(). Test case that checks for GRL protection for CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE USER added to mdl_sync.test.
