MDEV-7257 made a dump thread to read from binlog concurrently with
writers as long as the read bytes are below a water-mark
(MYSQL_BIN_LOG::binlog_end_pos). However it appeared to be possible a
dump thread reader reach out for bytes past the water mark through a
feature of IO_CACHE that fills in the internal buffer and while doing
so it could read what the reader is not supposed to see (the bytes
above MYSQL_BIN_LOG::binlog_end_pos).

The issue is fixed with constraining the IO_CACHE buffer fill to respect
the watermark.

An added unit test proves reading from file is bound to an external
parameter
passed to {IO_CACHE::end_of_file} cache member.

Different fix, just use NULL, not no_db,

The previous correction of the patch for mdev-16473 did not work
correctly for the databases whose names started with '*'.
Added a test case with a database named "*".

dict0dict.cc

buf_LRU_drop_page_hash_for_tablespace(): Return whether any adaptive
hash index entries existed. If yes, the caller should keep retrying to
drop the adaptive hash index.

row_import_for_mysql(), row_truncate_table_for_mysql(),
row_drop_table_for_mysql(): Ensure that the adaptive hash index was
entirely dropped for the table.

MDEV-15953 Alter InnoDB Partitioned Table Moves Files (which were originally not in the datadir) to the datadir

ha_innobase::prepare_inplace_alter_table: preserve DATA DICTIONARY for table

Before this patch if no default database was set the server threw
an error for any table name reference that was not fully qualified by
database name. In particular it happened for table names referenced
CTE tables. This was incorrect.
The error message was thrown at the parser stage when the names referencing
different tables were not resolved yet.
Now if no default database is set and  a with clause is used in the
processed statement  any table reference is just supplied with a dummy
database name "*none*" at the parser stage. Later after a call
of check_dependencies_in_with_clauses() when the names for CTE tables
can be resolved error messages are thrown only for those names that
refer to non-CTE tables. This is done in open_and_process_table().

register changes of last_gtid

Observed and described
partitioned engine execution time difference
between master and slave was caused by excessive invocation
of base_engine::rnd_init which was done also for partitions
uninvolved into Rows-event operation.
The bug's slave slowdown therefore scales with the number of partitions.

Fixed with applying an upstream patch.

Bug#25687813 REPLICATION REGRESSION WITH RBR AND PARTITIONED TABLES

it only worked if mroonga plugin wasn't installed before (normal case),
but then it didn't need to delete anything.

if, by some glitch, mroonga was already installed, it would delete
mroonga from mysql.plugin, but INSTALL would fail (as mroonga was running),
and the script aborted, leaving mroonga not in mysql.plugin at all.

Solution for Debian/Ubuntu: install a trigger to restart mysqld
automatically whenever a package changes something in /etc/mysql
or in /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d

remove manual libcurl3 dependency.
it'll be automatically added (libcurl3 or libcurl4, whatever was
actually used)

           optimizer_use_condition_selectivity = 4

It does not makes sense to try to read statistics for temporary tables
because it's not collected.

to avoid "using unique option prefix 'backup' is error-prone", there is
already --backup option there.

There is a tiny chance for race condition during MDL acquisition.

If table is renamed just prior to
SELECT 1 FROM <table_name> LIMIT 0

then this query would  fail, yet mariabackup --backup does not handle
it as fatal error and continues, only to fail later during file copy.

The fix is to die on error, of MDL lock query fails.

make it not to fail when `show engine innodb status` output
contains a double quote

don't tell users to set the root password if they're using unix_socket

there's an assert that catches it

Don't let SET PASSWORD to set the password, if auth_string is set.

Now SET PASSWORD always sets the plugin/auth_string fields and clears
the password field (on pre-plugin mysql.user table it works as before).
