    Description

      We run rather large production servers with over hundreds of databases with varying sizes between a few MB and many GB.

      Over the past few days we noticed that sometimes MariaDB seems to quit responding on our production servers.

      We found out that this behaviour can be triggered if someone updates their WordPress website. When WordPress is updated it also performs some database queries to convert tables to utf8mb4.

      E.g. the following query is done:

      ALTER TABLE wp_usermeta CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci
      

      This causes MariaDB to complete stop responding for about 15 seconds and than recovers.

      This is very unwanted behaviour because customers keep trying to update their website causing MariaDB to not respond multiple times over a short duration.

      The following is logged during the crash:

      2021-06-16 14:46:11 0x7fcc332b3700  InnoDB: Assertion failure in file /builddir/build/BUILD/mariadb-10.4.19/storage/innobase/data/data0type.cc line 67
      InnoDB: Failing assertion: !(prefix_len % mbmaxlen)
      InnoDB: We intentionally generate a memory trap.
      InnoDB: Submit a detailed bug report to https://jira.mariadb.org/
      InnoDB: If you get repeated assertion failures or crashes, even
      InnoDB: immediately after the mysqld startup, there may be
      InnoDB: corruption in the InnoDB tablespace. Please refer to
      InnoDB: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/innodb-recovery-modes/
      InnoDB: about forcing recovery.

      This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
      or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
      or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
       
      To report this bug, see https://mariadb.com/kb/en/reporting-bugs
       
      We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
      diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, 
      something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

      It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
      key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 1106098 K  bytes of memory
      Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
