fix bogus stalls in the lock tree for low concurrency applications
Merge into the MariaDB tree the pull request from Rich Prohaska for PerconaFT. These changes are needed to get parallel replication to work with TokuDB. Once the pull request is accepted by Percona and the new upstream version enters MariaDB, this commit can be superseded. Original commit message from Rich Prohaska: 1. Fix the release before wait race The release before wait race occurs when a lock is released by transaction A after transaction B tried to acquire it but before transaction B has a chance to register it's pending lock request. There are several ways to fix this problem, but we want to optimize for the common situation of minimal lock conflicts, which is what the lock acquisition algorithm currently does. Our solution to the release before wait race is for transaction B to retry its lock request after its lock request has been added to the pending lock set. 2. Fix the retry race The retry race occurs in the current lock retry algorithm which assumes that if some transaction is running lock retry, then my transaction does not also need to run it. There is a chance that some pending lock requests will be skipped, but these lock requests will eventually time out. For applications with small numbers of concurrent transactions, timeouts will frequently occur, and the application throughput will be very small. The solution to the retry race is to use a group retry algorithm. All threads run through the retry logic. Sequence numbers are used to group retries into batches such that one transaction can run the retry logic on behalf of several transactions. This amortizes the retry cost. The sequence numbers also ensure that when a transaction releases its locks, all of the pending lock requests that it is blocking are retried. 3. Implement a mechanism to find and kill a pending lock request Tags lock requests with a client id, use the client id as a key into the pending lock requests sets to find a lock request, complete the lock request with a lock timeout error.
