MDEV-30671 InnoDB undo log truncation fails to wait for purge of history
It is not safe to invoke trx_purge_free_segment() or execute innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON before all undo log records in the rollback segment has been processed. A prominent failure that would occur due to premature freeing of undo log pages is that trx_undo_get_undo_rec() would crash when trying to copy an undo log record to fetch the previous version of a record. If trx_undo_get_undo_rec() was not invoked in the unlucky time frame, then the symptom would be that some committed transaction history is never removed. This would be detected by CHECK TABLE...EXTENDED that was impleented in commit ab019010. Such a garbage collection leak should be possible even when using innodb_undo_log_truncate=OFF, just involving trx_purge_free_segment(). trx_rseg_t::needs_purge: Change the type from Boolean to a transaction identifier, noting the most recent non-purged transaction, or 0 if everything has been purged. On transaction start, we initialize this to 1 more than the transaction start ID. On recovery, the field may be adjusted to the transaction end ID (TRX_UNDO_TRX_NO) if it is larger. The field TRX_UNDO_NEEDS_PURGE becomes write-only; only some debug assertions that would validate the value. The field reflects the old inaccurate Boolean field trx_rseg_t::needs_purge. trx_undo_mem_create_at_db_start(), trx_undo_lists_init(), trx_rseg_mem_restore(): Remove the parameter max_trx_id. Instead, store the maximum in trx_rseg_t::needs_purge, where trx_rseg_array_init() will find it. trx_purge_free_segment(): Contiguously hold a lock on trx_rseg_t to prevent any concurrent allocation of undo log. trx_purge_truncate_rseg_history(): Only invoke trx_purge_free_segment() if the rollback segment is empty and there are no pending transactions associated with it. trx_purge_truncate_history(): Only proceed with innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON if trx_rseg_t::needs_purge indicates that all history has been purged.
