Details

    Description

      Upstream bug https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68079 is fixed since 5.6.16. To fix it new CMake option was introduced, INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT.

      This option is visible in the code (MariaDB 10.1, cloned today):

      [openxs@centos server]$ git branch
      * 10.1
      [openxs@centos server]$ grep -rni INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT *
      storage/innobase/include/buf0types.h:29:#if defined(INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT) && defined(HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS)
      storage/innobase/include/buf0types.h:31:#endif /* INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT && HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS */
      storage/xtradb/include/buf0types.h:29:#if defined(INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT) && defined(HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS)
      storage/xtradb/include/buf0types.h:31:#endif /* INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT && HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS */
      [openxs@centos server]$
      

      But, as you can see, it is not mentioned in CMakeLists.txt and (probably for this reason) is not used. In the error logs of 10.0.23 we see:

      160721 14:22:06 [Note] /home/openxs/10.0.23/bin/mysqld (mysqld 10.0.23-MariaDB-log) starting as process 2418 ...

      even though this version already uses InnoDB 5.6.26. For comparison, Percona Server 5.6.28 starts like this:

      In the code of current upstream MySQL 5.6 we see:

      [openxs@centos mysql-server]$ grep -rni INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT *
      CMakeLists.txt:332:OPTION(INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT "Use atomics for the page reference count"
      CMakeLists.txt:334:MARK_AS_ADVANCED(INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT)
      config.h.cmake:552:#cmakedefine INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT
      storage/innobase/include/buf0types.h:29:#if defined(INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT) && defined(HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS)
      storage/innobase/include/buf0types.h:31:#endif /* INNODB_PAGE_ATOMIC_REF_COUNT && HAVE_ATOMIC_BUILTINS */
      [openxs@centos mysql-server]$ git branch
      * 5.6
        5.7
      

      I know there were problems with this option on Windows long time ago, but is it a good reason to NOT use it and related InnoDB scalability improvements?
