Potential server hang on replication with InnoDB

Details

    Description

      On an InnoDB lock conflict, the call to thd_lock_wait_timeout() could cause a server hang. In 5.5, the code appeared to be still fine in srv_suspend_mysql_thread():

      	mutex_exit(&kernel_mutex);
       
      	/* InnoDB system transactions (such as the purge, and
      	incomplete transactions that are being rolled back after crash
      	recovery) will use the global value of
      	innodb_lock_wait_timeout, because trx->mysql_thd == NULL. */
      	lock_wait_timeout = thd_lock_wait_timeout(trx->mysql_thd);
      

      In MySQL 5.6.2, this function was replaced with lock_wait_suspend_thread(), which is holding InnoDB mutexes while calling the function that may potentially acquire LOCK_global_system_variables:

      	lock_wait_timeout = thd_lock_wait_timeout(trx->mysql_thd);
      	trx_mutex_exit(trx);
      }
      

      At some later point, the code was cleaned up so that the above call appears to occur while no InnoDB mutexes are being held.

      In MySQL 5.7.3, the bug was probably fixed outside InnoDB. A claim in the commit message about InnoDB does hold as of that point of time:

      According to InnoDB team this doesn't happen in the current code, as InnoDB tries to avoid accessing session variables while holding internal locks, but this has happened in the past.

      This change was never merged to MariaDB server.

      This bug was flagged by SAFE_MUTEX in the MDEV-21452 branch. Specifically, an inconsistent ordering of lock_sys.mutex, LOCK_global_system_variables and LOCK_commit_ordered was identified.

      The warnings are avoided if we cache the value to trx_t in innobase_trx_init(), like we do for a few other session variables. There does not seem to be any other possible fix. Even though the caller of thd_lock_wait_timeout() is not holding any InnoDB mutexes, we have the problem that the caller of InnoDB transaction commit may be holding LOCK_commit_ordered.

      A deadlock with 3 threads ought to be possible, with one thread committing and another being in a lock wait, and a third thread doing something that involves at least one of the 3 mutexes.

      With a small patch to the debug build, we can see that LOCK_commit_ordered can indeed be held during a transaction commit (which would acquire trx_t::mutex or lock_sys_t::mutex):

      Because LOCK_commit_ordered is being acquired outside InnoDB, we can only fix this potential hang by avoiding the thd_lock_wait_timeout() in the lock conflict resolution. It turns out the SAFE_MUTEX warnings will be silenced if we cache the THDVAR() value in trx_t, like we do for a few other session variables in innobase_trx_init().

      This ordering violation might explain some server hangs in replication, such as MDEV-10067.
