    MDEV-34389 Avoid log overwrite in early recovery · ab448d4b
    Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani authored
    - InnoDB tries to write FILE_CHECKPOINT marker during
    early recovery when log file size is insufficient.
    While updating the log checkpoint at the end of the recovery,
    InnoDB must already have written out all pending changes
    to the persistent files. To complete the checkpoint, InnoDB
    has to write some log records for the checkpoint and to
    update the checkpoint header. If the server gets killed
    before updating the checkpoint header then it would lead
    the logfile to be unrecoverable.
    
    - This patch avoids FILE_CHECKPOINT marker during early
    recovery and narrows down the window of opportunity to
    make the log file unrecoverable.
