Description
Occasionally, the test innodb.alter_copy would fail, reporting DB_MISSING_HISTORY in CHECK TABLE. It first caught my attention during the development of MDEV-25180. That change introduced delays to the purge tasks, in the form of purge_sys.stop_SYS(). If we delay purge more during DDL operations, then the test would almost always fail. Here is the first occurrence of this kind in a main branch:

CURRENT_TEST: innodb.alter_copy

|

I was able to repeat this, and this actually affects older versions as well. In 10.2, the transaction isolation level is supposed to be effectively hard-wired as READ UNCOMMITTED when innodb_read_only is set or the setting innodb_force_recovery has the value 4, 5, or 6. But, we actually would use some other isolation level in trx_undo_prev_version_build():
if (trx_undo_get_undo_rec( |
roll_ptr, heap, rec_trx_id, index->table->name,
|
&undo_rec)) {
|
if (v_status & TRX_UNDO_PREV_IN_PURGE) { |
/* We are fetching the record being purged */ |
undo_rec = trx_undo_get_undo_rec_low(roll_ptr, heap);
|
} else { |
/* The undo record may already have been purged, |
during purge or semi-consistent read. */
|
return(false); |
}
|
}
|
The fix is to avoid creating a purge view if purge is not going to be executed, so that the READ UNCOMMITTED mode will be used. There are two possible fixes: Either make CHECK TABLE explicitly use the READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level, or do not create the purge sys view (the below is for MariaDB 10.2):

We could also explicitly use READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level in CHECK TABLE also in this case (see MDEV-15418 and MDEV-18952).
MDEV-15418 claims the following:
Since MariaDB 10.2 (along with upstream MySQL 5.7), InnoDB already does this [READ UNCOMMITTED] for innodb_read_only=1
That hard-wiring occurs at a rather low level, for example, lock_clust_rec_cons_read_sees() is checking srv_read_only_mode.
The fix with the least impact and risk would seem to be to only touch CHECK TABLE, starting with 10.3, where MDEV-15418 first touched this code:
