This deadlock happened if DROP DATABASE was blocked due to an open HANDLER table from a different connection. While DROP DATABASE is blocked, it holds the LOCK_mysql_create_db mutex. This results in a deadlock if the connection with the open HANDLER table tries to execute a CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statement as they all try to acquire LOCK_mysql_create_db. This patch makes this deadlock scenario very unlikely by closing and marking for re-open all HANDLER tables for which there are pending conflicing locks, before LOCK_mysql_create_db is acquired. However, there is still a very slight possibility that a connection could access one of these HANDLER tables between closing/marking for re-open and the acquisition of LOCK_mysql_create_db. This patch is for 5.1 only, a separate and complete fix will be made for 5.5+. Test case added to schema.test.
