Patch for Bug#52356: query_cache_debug fails on Linux.
There were two problems here: 1. misleading error message 2. abusing KILL QUERY in the test case 1. The server reported "'DELETE FROM t1' failed: 1689: Wait on a lock was aborted due to a pending exclusive lock", while the proper error message should be "'DELETE FROM t1' failed: 1317: Query execution was interrupted". The problem is that the server has two different flags for signalling that a query is being killed: THD::killed and mysys_var::abort. The test case triggers a race: sometimes mysys_var::abort is set earlier than THD::killed. That leads to the following situation: - thr_lock() checks mysys_var::abort and returns error status, since mysys_var::abort is set; - the caller (mysql_lock_tables()) gets an error from thr_lock(), but THD::killed is not set, so it decides that thr_lock() couldn't get a lock due to a pending exclusive lock. This is a known issue with the server and it's not going to be fixed soon. 5.5 differs from 5.1 here as follows: when thr_lock() returns an error: - 5.1 continues trying thr_lock() until success; - 5.5 propagates the error 2. The test case uses KILL QUERY is a highly concurent environment. The fix is to wait for the dying statement to rest in peace before executing another DELETE FROM t1.
