    Description

      Currently, ALGORITHM=COPY, LOCK=NONE is disabled for tables with cascade foreign keys (including SET NULL/SET DEFAULT).

      The preliminary patch, 4b758fdc73, was done yet in scope of MDEV-29068 bugfix.

      As it was noted by Marko Mäkelä, the implementation would be unaffordably slow. Using table->vc_templ->mysql_table for a backward access to sql-layer table, as noted further, is broken by design. This should be fixed by MDEV-29181.

      Additionally, MDEV-30182 should provide an affordably fast (O(1)) FK-prelocked table lookup, which should be made per updated record.
