    Description

      The following test case reproduces the bug:

      $ cat /tmp/test_load_file
      100
      200
      300
       
      $ cat mysql-test/main/ps_load.test
      CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT);
      LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/test_load_file' INTO TABLE t1;
      SELECT * FROM t1;
      DROP TABLE t1;
      

      If this test case is run by mtr with the --ps-protocol option it fails

      main.ps_load                             [ fail ]
              Test ended at 2021-02-07 22:18:19
       
      CURRENT_TEST: main.ps_load
      mysqltest: At line 2: query 'LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/tmp/test_load_file' INTO TABLE t1' failed: 2000: Load data local infile forbidden
      

      The above listed error message is produced by libmariadb, specifically by the function mysql_handle_local_infile() that is called by mthd_my_read_query_result. Calling trace to invocation point is below:

      main()
        run_query()
          run_query_stmt()
            wrap_mysql_stmt_execute()
              mysql_stmt_execute()
                stmt_read_execute_response()
                  mthd_my_read_query_result()
                    mysql_handle_local_infile()
      

      At the place of calling the function my_set_error(conn, CR_UNKNOWN_ERROR, SQLSTATE_UNKNOWN, "Load data local infile forbidden") in the function mysql_handle_local_infile(), the data member conn->options.client_flag == CLIENT_LOCAL_FILES and the parameter can_local_file has the value false.

      One level higher in the call stack the data member mysql->extension->auto_local_infile
      has the value WAIT_FOR_QUERY, the expression

      my_bool can_local_infile= (mysql->options.extension) &&(mysql->extension->auto_local_infile != WAIT_FOR_QUERY);
      

      has the value false, as a consequences the argument value for the parameter can_local_file of the function mysql_handle_local_infile() also has the value false.

      In case the original test case is run by mtr WITHOUT the option --ps-protocol, the parameter can_local_file of the function mysql_handle_local_infile() has the value true since the data member mysql->extension->auto_local_infile has the value ACCEPT_FILE_REQUEST.

      The value ACCEPT_FILE_REQUEST is assigned to the the data member mysql->extension->auto_local_infile inside the function ma_simple_command:

      int
      ma_simple_command(MYSQL *mysql,enum enum_server_command command, const char *arg,
                 size_t length, my_bool skipp_check, void *opt_arg)
      {
        if ((mysql->options.client_flag & CLIENT_LOCAL_FILES) &&
             mysql->options.extension && mysql->extension->auto_local_infile == WAIT_FOR_QUERY &&
             arg && (*arg == 'l' || *arg == 'L') &&
             command == COM_QUERY)
        {
          if (strncasecmp(arg, "load", 4) == 0)
            mysql->extension->auto_local_infile= ACCEPT_FILE_REQUEST; <<===== This is that place
        }
        return mysql->methods->db_command(mysql, command, arg, length, skipp_check, opt_arg);
      }
      

      If the following modification be applied to the source code of the library libmariadb

      --- a/libmariadb/mariadb_stmt.c
      +++ b/libmariadb/mariadb_stmt.c
      @@ -1713,6 +1713,17 @@ int STDCALL mysql_stmt_prepare(MYSQL_STMT *stmt, const char *query, unsigned lon
           }
           memset(stmt->bind, 0, sizeof(MYSQL_BIND) * stmt->field_count);
         }
      +  if ((mysql->options.client_flag & CLIENT_LOCAL_FILES) &&
      +      mysql->options.extension && mysql->extension->auto_local_infile == WAIT_FOR_QUERY &&

      +      mysql->extension->auto_local_infile= ACCEPT_FILE_REQUEST;
      +  }
      

      then the original failure of the test main.ps_load when it is run with the option --ps-protocol be fixed.
      The proposed changes in the source code of the function mysql_stmt_prepare() is obviously just a hack to temporarily fix the issue.

      So, the major question is what was the reason to write so non-obvious and pretty hacked implementation for handling of statement LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE on client side?
