[#MDEV-10441] Document the server_audit_loc

Comment by Sergei Golubchik [ 2016-07-26 ]

if this is just an internal thread-local storage for connection_info, it should be declared with PLUGIN_VAR_MEMALLOC | PLUGIN_VAR_NOSYSVAR | PLUGIN_VAR_NOCMDOPT flags.

I see "Fix Version/s: 5.5.51", but I wonder how exactly this was fixed and do we have this fix in any released 10.0.x and/or 10.1.x version?

Comment by Valerii Kravchuk [ 2016-08-29 ]

I still see the related variable defined as:

static MYSQL_THDVAR_STR(loc_info,

                        PLUGIN_VAR_READONLY | PLUGIN_VAR_MEMALLOC,

                        "Auxiliary info.", NULL, NULL,

                        locinfo_ini_value);

in recent 10.1:

[openxs@fc23 server]$ git log -1

    fix conpilation on OpenBSD

So, may I ask where is the fix in 10.0 and 10.1?

It was (supposedly) documented. I'll remove it in the course of ~~MDEV-10905~~

Comment by Valerii Kravchuk [ 2016-09-27 ]

I see nothing about server_audit_loc_info at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/server_audit-system-variables/ right now.

Even if it's going to be removed later, it would be great to have some words explaining in what version it had appeared, why, and what values had to be expected. Even "ignore it" is better than nothing.
