    Patch that changes metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and · b3f63454
    Dmitry Lenev authored
    condition variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional
    variable for the whole subsystem.
    
    This should increase concurrency in this subsystem.
    
    It also opens the way for further changes which are necessary to solve
    such bugs as bug #46272 "MySQL 5.4.4, new MDL: unnecessary deadlock"
    and bug #37346 "innodb does not detect deadlock between update and alter
    table".
    
    Two other notable changes done by this patch:
    
    - MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
      metadata lock when per-object metadata lock is acquired. Now this has
      to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
    - Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables/tables
      for purposes of I_S we now create MDL savepoint in the main context
      before opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing
      them. This means that it is now possible to get ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error
      even not inside a transaction. This might happen in unlikely case when
      one runs DDL on one of system tables while also running DDL on some
      other tables. Cases when this ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK error is not justified
      will be addressed by advanced deadlock detector for MDL subsystem which
      we plan to implement.
    
    mysql-test/include/handler.inc:
      Adjusted handler_myisam.test and handler_innodb.test to the fact that
      exclusive metadata locks on tables are now acquired according to
      alphabetical order of fully qualified table names instead of order
      in which tables are mentioned in statement.
    mysql-test/r/handler_innodb.result:
      Adjusted handler_myisam.test and handler_innodb.test to the fact that
      exclusive metadata locks on tables are now acquired according to
      alphabetical order of fully qualified table names instead of order
      in which tables are mentioned in statement.
    mysql-test/r/handler_myisam.result:
      Adjusted handler_myisam.test and handler_innodb.test to the fact that
      exclusive metadata locks on tables are now acquired according to
      alphabetical order of fully qualified table names instead of order
      in which tables are mentioned in statement.
    mysql-test/r/mdl_sync.result:
      Adjusted mdl_sync.test to the fact that exclusive metadata locks on
      tables are now acquired according to alphabetical order of fully
      qualified table names instead of order in which tables are mentioned
      in statement.
    mysql-test/t/mdl_sync.test:
      Adjusted mdl_sync.test to the fact that exclusive metadata locks on
      tables are now acquired according to alphabetical order of fully
      qualified table names instead of order in which tables are mentioned
      in statement.
    sql/events.cc:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
      change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
      state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
      to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
      opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
      instead of Open_table_state class as well.
    sql/ha_ndbcluster.cc:
      Since manipulations with open table state no longer install proxy
      MDL_context it does not make sense to perform them in order to
      satisfy assert in mysql_rm_tables_part2(). Removed them per agreement
      with Cluster team. This has not broken test suite since scenario in
      which deadlock can occur and assertion fails is not covered by tests.
    sql/lock.cc:
      MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
      metadata lock when per-object exclusive metadata lock is acquired.
      Now this has to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
    sql/log.cc:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
      change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
      state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
      to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
      opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
      instead of Open_table_state class as well.
    sql/mdl.cc:
      Changed metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and condition
      variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional variable
      for the whole subsystem.
      Changed approach to handling of global metadata locks. Instead of
      implicitly acquiring intention exclusive locks when user requests
      per-object upgradeable or exclusive locks now we require them to be
      acquired explicitly in the same way as ordinary metadata locks.
      In fact global lock are now ordinary metadata locks in new GLOBAL
      namespace.
      
      To implement these changes:
      - Removed LOCK_mdl mutex and COND_mdl condition variable.
      - Introduced MDL_lock::m_mutex mutexes which protect individual lock
        objects.
      - Replaced mdl_locks hash with MDL_map class, which has hash for
        MDL_lock objects as a member and separate mutex which protects this
        hash. Methods of this class allow to find(), find_or_create() or
        remove() MDL_lock objects in concurrency-friendly fashion (i.e.
        for most common operation, find_or_create(), we don't acquire
        MDL_lock::m_mutex while holding MDL_map::m_mutex. Thanks to MikaelR
        for this idea and benchmarks!). Added three auxiliary members to
        MDL_lock class (m_is_destroyed, m_ref_usage, m_ref_release) to
        support this concurrency-friendly behavior.
      - Introduced MDL_context::m_ctx_wakeup_cond condition variable to be
        used for waiting until this context's pending request can be
        satisfied or its thread has to perform actions to resolve potential
        deadlock. Context which want to wait add ticket corresponding to the
        request to an appropriate queue of waiters in MDL_lock object so
        they can be noticed when other contexts change state of lock and be
        awaken by them by signalling on MDL_context::m_ctx_wakeup_cond.
        As consequence MDL_ticket objects has to be used for any waiting
        in metadata locking subsystem including one which happens in
        MDL_context::wait_for_locks() method.
        Another consequence is that MDL_context is no longer copyable and
        can't be saved/restored when working with system tables.
      - Made MDL_lock an abstract class, which delegates specifying exact
        compatibility matrix to its descendants. Added MDL_global_lock child
        class for global lock (The old is_lock_type_compatible() method
        became can_grant_lock() method of this class). Added MDL_object_lock
        class to represent per-object lock (The old MDL_lock::can_grant_lock()
        became its method). Choice between two classes happens based on MDL
        namespace in MDL_lock::create() method.
      - Got rid of MDL_lock::type member as its meaning became ambigous for
        global locks.
      - To simplify waking up of contexts waiting for lock split waiting queue
        in MDL_lock class in two queues. One for pending requests for exclusive
        (including intention exclusive) locks and another for requests for
        shared locks.
      - Added virtual wake_up_waiters() method to MDL_lock, MDL_global_lock and
        MDL_object_lock classes which allows to wake up waiting contexts after
        state of lock changes. Replaced old duplicated code with calls to this
        method.
      - Adjusted MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock()/exclusive_lock()/
        global_shared_lock(), MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive_lock()
        and MDL_context::release_ticket() methods to use MDL_map and
        MDL_lock::m_mutex instead of single LOCK_mdl mutex and wake up
        waiters according to the approach described above. The latter method
        also was renamed to MDL_context::release_lock().
      - Changed MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock()/exclusive_lock() and
        release_lock() not to handle global locks. They are now supposed to
        be taken explicitly like ordinary metadata locks.
      - Added helper MDL_context::try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()
        and acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() methods.
      - Moved common code from MDL_context::acquire_global_shared_lock() and
        acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() to new method -
        MDL_context::acquire_lock_impl().
      - Moved common code from MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock(),
        try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()/exclusive_lock()
        to MDL_context::try_acquire_lock_impl().
      - Since acquiring of several exclusive locks can no longer happen under
        single LOCK_mdl mutex the approach to it had to be changed. Now we do
        it in one by one fashion. This is done in alphabetical order to avoid
        deadlocks. Changed MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_locks() accordingly
        (as part of this change moved code responsible for acquiring single
        exclusive lock to new MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_lock_impl()
        method).
      - Since we no longer have single LOCK_mdl mutex which protects all
        MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl members using these members to
        determine if we have really awaken context holding conflicting
        shared lock became inconvinient. Got rid of this member and changed
        notify_shared_lock() helper function and process of acquiring
        of/upgrading to exclusive lock not to rely on such information.
        Now in MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_lock_impl() and
        MDL_ticket::upgrade_shared_lock_to_exclusive_lock() we simply
        re-try to wake up threads holding conflicting shared locks after
        small time out.
      - Adjusted MDL_context::can_wait_lead_to_deadlock() and
        MDL_ticket::has_pending_conflicting_lock() to use per-lock
        mutexes instead of LOCK_mdl. To do this introduced
        MDL_lock::has_pending_exclusive_lock() method.
    sql/mdl.h:
      Changed metadata locking subsystem to use mutex per lock and condition
      variable per context instead of one mutex and one conditional variable
      for the whole subsystem. In order to implement this change:
      
      - Added MDL_key::cmp() method to be able to sort MDL_key objects
        alphabetically. Changed length fields in MDL_key class to uint16
        as 16-bit is enough for length of any key.
      - Changed MDL_ticket::get_ctx() to return pointer to non-const
        object in order to be able to use MDL_context::awake() method
        for such contexts.
      - Got rid of unlocked versions of can_wait_lead_to_deadlock()/
        has_pending_conflicting_lock() methods in MDL_context and
        MDL_ticket. We no longer has single mutex which protects all
        locks. Thus one always has to use versions of these methods
        which acquire per-lock mutexes.
      - MDL_request_list type of list now counts its elements.
      - Added MDL_context::m_ctx_wakeup_cond condition variable to be used
        for waiting until this context's pending request can be satisfied
        or its thread has to perform actions to resolve potential deadlock.
        Added awake() method to wake up context from such wait.
        Addition of condition variable made MDL_context uncopyable.
        As result we no longer can save/restore MDL_context when working
        with system tables. Instead we create MDL savepoint before opening
        those tables and rollback to it once they are closed.
      - MDL_context::release_ticket() became release_lock() method.
      - Added auxiliary MDL_context::acquire_exclusive_lock_impl() method
        which does all necessary work to acquire exclusive lock on one object
        but should not be used directly as it does not enforce any asserts
        ensuring that no deadlocks are possible.
      - Since we no longer need to know if thread trying to acquire exclusive
        lock managed to wake up any threads having conflicting shared locks
        (as, anyway, we will try to wake up such threads again shortly)
      - MDL_context::m_is_waiting_in_mdl member became unnecessary and
        notify_shared_lock() no longer needs to be friend of MDL_context.
      
      Changed approach to handling of global metadata locks. Instead of
      implicitly acquiring intention exclusive locks when user requests
      per-object upgradeable or exclusive locks now we require them to be
      acquired explicitly in the same way as ordinary metadata locks.
      
      - Added new GLOBAL namespace for such locks.
      - Added new type of lock to be requested MDL_INTENTION_EXCLISIVE.
      - Added MDL_context::try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()
        and acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() methods.
      - Moved common code from MDL_context::acquire_global_shared_lock()
        and acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock() to new method -
        MDL_context::acquire_lock_impl().
      - Moved common code from MDL_context::try_acquire_shared_lock(),
        try_acquire_global_intention_exclusive_lock()/exclusive_lock()
        to MDL_context::try_acquire_lock_impl().
      - Added helper MDL_context::is_global_lock_owner() method to be
        able easily to find what kind of global lock this context holds.
      - MDL_context::m_has_global_shared_lock became unnecessary as
        global read lock is now represented by ordinary ticket.
      - Removed assert in MDL_context::set_lt_or_ha_sentinel() which became
        false for cases when we execute LOCK TABLES under global read lock
        mode.
    sql/mysql_priv.h:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
      change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
      state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
      to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result calls
      opening/closing system tables were changed to use Open_tables_backup
      instead of Open_table_state class as well.
    sql/sp.cc:

      opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
      instead of Open_table_state class as well.
    sql/sql_base.cc:
      close_thread_tables():
        Since we no longer use separate MDL_context for opening system
        tables we need to avoid releasing all transaction locks when
        closing system table. Releasing metadata lock on system table
        is now responsibility of THD::restore_backup_open_tables_state().
      open_table_get_mdl_lock(),
      Open_table_context::recover_from_failed_open():
        MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
        metadata lock when per-object upgradable or exclusive metadata lock is
        acquired. So this have to be done explicitly from these calls.
        Changed Open_table_context class to store MDL_request object for
        global intention exclusive lock acquired when opening tables.
      open_table():
        Do not release metadata lock if we have failed to open table as
        this lock might have been acquired by one of previous statements
        in transaction, and therefore should not be released.
      open_system_tables_for_read()/close_system_tables()/
      open_performance_schema_table():
        Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
        create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
        and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
        change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
        state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
        to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
        opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
        instead of Open_table_state class as well.
      close_performance_schema_table():
        Got rid of duplicated code.
    sql/sql_class.cc:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
      change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
      state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
      to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. Also releasing
      metadata lock on system table is now responsibility of
      THD::restore_backup_open_tables_state().
      Adjusted assert in THD::cleanup() to take into account fact that now
      we also use MDL sentinel for global read lock.
    sql/sql_class.h:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. As result:
      - 'mdl_context' member was moved out of Open_tables_state to THD class.
        enter_locked_tables_mode()/leave_locked_tables_mode() had to follow.
      - Methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table state were
        changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition to
        Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint.
      Changed Open_table_context class to store MDL_request object for
      global intention exclusive lock acquired when opening tables.
    sql/sql_delete.cc:
      MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention exclusive
      metadata lock when per-object exclusive metadata lock is acquired.
      Now this has to be done by explicit calls outside of MDL subsystem.
    sql/sql_help.cc:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
      change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
      state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
      to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
      opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
      instead of Open_table_state class as well.
    sql/sql_parse.cc:
      Adjusted assert reload_acl_and_cache() to the fact that global read
      lock now takes full-blown metadata lock.
    sql/sql_plist.h:
      Added support for element counting to I_P_List list template.
      One can use policy classes to specify if such counting is needed
      or not needed for particular list.
    sql/sql_show.cc:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening tables for I_S
      purposes we now create MDL savepoint in the main context before
      opening tables and rollback to this savepoint after closing them.
      To support this and similar change for system tables methods of
      THD responsible for saving/restoring open table state were changed
      to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition to Open_table_state
      has a member for this savepoint. As result code opening/closing tables
      for I_S purposes was changed to use Open_tables_backup instead of
      Open_table_state class as well.
    sql/sql_table.cc:
      mysql_rm_tables_part2():
        Since now global intention exclusive metadata lock is ordinary
        metadata lock we no longer can rely that by releasing MDL locks
        on all tables we will release all locks acquired by this routine.
        So in non-LOCK-TABLES mode we have to release all locks acquired
        explicitly.
      prepare_for_repair(), mysql_alter_table():
        MDL subsystem no longer implicitly acquires global intention
        exclusive metadata lock when per-object exclusive metadata lock
        is acquired. Now this has to be done by explicit calls outside of
        MDL subsystem.
    sql/tztime.cc:
      Instead of using separate MDL_context for opening system tables we now
      create MDL savepoint in the main context before opening such tables
      and rollback to this savepoint after closing them. To support this
      change methods of THD responsible for saving/restoring open table
      state were changed to use Open_tables_backup class which in addition
      to Open_table_state has a member for this savepoint. As result code
      opening/closing system tables was changed to use Open_tables_backup
      instead of Open_table_state class as well.
      Also changed code not to use special mechanism for open system tables
      when it is not really necessary.
