BUG#17928 testBackup fails in error handling testcases
Reproduced failure of NFMaster on my laptop, this is the fix with some added debug information to help people in the future when they trigger asserts in AsyncFile (ndbfs helper threads). storage/ndb/src/kernel/blocks/backup/Backup.cpp: In Backup::checkFile(Signal*, BackupFilePtr), only send FSCLOSEREQ if file is not already being closed. Add debug printouts if DEBUG_ABORT is defined to help in finding the problem. Only set filePtr.p->fileClosing when we are actually closing the file, not when we're anticipating a close. In Backup::closeFiles(Signal*,BackupRecordPtr), when we're closing a file, make sure we've queued everything to be written out before sending FSCLOSEREQ. This solves two problems: - in testBackup (NFMaster) on my machine (but not in autotest since the end of March for whatever reason), we were hitting an assert in the buffer for files saying we hadn't written everything out of the buffer before closing. (for the interested, it was 10 bytes of data) - once I'd fixed the above (by the checkFile before close) I'd then get really nonsensical trace dumps in NFMaster for ERROR_INSERT 10003. It turns out that any asserts in AsyncFile (the thread that NDBFS runs to do its bidding) don't cause anything to be written out anywhere and you're left scratching your head as to what on earth happenned (apart from getting "caught signal 6, aborted"). What really was happenning was we were then calling FSCLOSEREQ one too many times, hitting the assert on trying to close an fd of -1 in AsyncFile. storage/ndb/src/kernel/blocks/ndbfs/AsyncFile.cpp: It turns out that any asserts in AsyncFile (the thread that NDBFS runs to do its bidding) don't cause anything to be written out anywhere and you're left scratching your head as to what on earth happenned (apart from getting "caught signal 6, aborted").
