MDEV-29744 fix required when merging to 11.4
by Kristian Nielsen 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Hi Sanja, others who might need to merge 10.6->10.11->11.4: The patch for MDEV-29744 in 10.6 needs a fix when merged to 11.4, otherwise test binlog.max_binlog_total_size (at least) will fail. I have attached the required fix. I could not push this fix to 11.4 myself, as branch protection is broken and rejected my push on a false positive. - Kristian.

Re: 87188cd3309: MDEV-29744: Fix incorrect locking order of LOCK_log/LOCK_commit_ordered and LOCK_global_system_variables
by Sergei Golubchik 08 Jan '25

Hi, Kristian, Mostly ok, but I'd prefer not to access max_binlog_size without any protection, so suggest to do something like ulong saved= max_binlog_size; mysql_mutex_unlock(&LOCK_global_system_variables); mysql_bin_log.set_max_size(saved); mysql_mutex_lock(&LOCK_global_system_variables); On Jan 08, Kristian Nielsen wrote: > revision-id: 87188cd3309 (mariadb-10.6.20-47-g87188cd3309) > parent(s): 7372ecc3965 > author: Kristian Nielsen > committer: Kristian Nielsen > timestamp: 2024-12-05 09:51:17 +0100 > message: > > MDEV-29744: Fix incorrect locking order of LOCK_log/LOCK_commit_ordered and LOCK_global_system_variables > > --- a/sql/sys_vars.cc > +++ b/sql/sys_vars.cc > @@ -1660,7 +1660,9 @@ Sys_max_binlog_stmt_cache_size( > > static bool fix_max_binlog_size(sys_var *self, THD *thd, enum_var_type type) > { > + mysql_mutex_unlock(&LOCK_global_system_variables); > mysql_bin_log.set_max_size(max_binlog_size); > + mysql_mutex_lock(&LOCK_global_system_variables); > return false; > } > static Sys_var_on_access_global<Sys_var_ulong, Regards, Sergei Chief Architect, MariaDB Server and security(a)mariadb.org

Why is innodb-log-file-mmap is available only on amd64/arm64/ppc64el but not other Linux architectures?
by Otto Kekäläinen 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

Hi, The documentation at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/innodb-system-variables/#innodb_log_file_mmap says this is supposed to be enabled by default on Linux, regardless of the architecture. However, in my testing it is not available on all architectures. Can somebody help me read the code path of innodb-log-file-mmap to figure out why the visibility/availability of this option it is currently architecture-dependent? ## Context In Debian I maintain an extra test called "configuration-trace" which basically dumps the output of these four commands into a file: /usr/bin/mariadb --print-defaults /usr/bin/mariadb --verbose --help /usr/sbin/mariadbd --print-defaults /usr/sbin/mariadbd --verbose --help Then, using the static file containing the text output of these files, it compares to the output of these commands on a running system to detect if the MariaDB defaults or features randomly changed (for example due to changes in dependencies or platform). This "configuration-trace" is also a handy way to detect what changed upstream in minor MariaDB releases, which aren't supposed to have much changes. The update of the static text output files for MariaDB 11.4.4 were done in https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/commit/e2851fcfca9e8… and they show among others a new variable innodb-log-file-mmap ## Problem The issues I am running into is that this new innodb-log-file-mmap only seems to exist on amd64 and arm64? I discovered this in the Debian CI system (autpkgtests) at https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mariadb/ which is passing for amd64/arm64/ppc64el, but failing on other platforms: https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mariadb/unstable/armel/55869348/ https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mariadb/unstable/armhf/55869349/ https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mariadb/unstable/i386/55869350/ https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mariadb/unstable/loong64/55869351/ https://ci.debian.net/packages/m/mariadb/unstable/s390x/55869354/ (The output also shows that mariadbd --verbose --help prints out wsrep-provider twice, once wsrep-provider=ON and once wsrep-provider=none, but that is a different issue.) On systems where it isn't available, shouldn't the option still show up (but as permanently disabled)? It seems odd to have system variables appear or disappear depending on the Linux architecture.

Re: dfc1632da73: Change default MEM_ROOT allocations to decrease calls to malloc
by Sergei Golubchik 27 Dec '24

Hi, Monty, Please, cherry-pick it into 10.11 and push as bb-10.11-merge. There will be *a lot* of conflicts in memroot code because of your "Added support to MEM_ROOT for write protected memory" change, it'd be best if you resolve your conflicts yourself.

The test still has its original purpose. This is very questionable. The test would still serve its original purpose indeed if it'll hit OOM at least somewhere. But with your change it's not clear that it'll ever do. The query might as well succeed everywhere and we'll never know. Or it might start succeeding in the future. That is, technically you are right, the test still does its job (presuming you've verified that it hits OOM at least on some builders). But your change basically guarantees that it'll become meaningless in the future. Regards, Sergei Chief Architect, MariaDB Server and security(a)mariadb.org
