This was not a bug, this was a new change in recover_from_failed_open().
Hmm, so was it part of the bug fix or not?
The bug was it doesn't work with LTM_PRELOCKED. It was a part of the bug fix. There were no bug with lock merging -- it was a new change to satisfy that bug fix.
If you are reviewing MDEV-23639, that part is not yet finished and fully pushed. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. Please wait until I reassign that ticket to you. I'll do that along with MDEV-17554 review changes.
Also freeing was impossible for locks on thd.
Yes, this change I understand, no questions about freeing.

Please, fix the language to be proper English.
Don't you want to ask Ian now? Please look for "double semantics" collocation in Google query (quotes are important). There are quite a number of examples including scientific books and IETF drafts.
No, I don't. "double semantics" looks good, if you want to change the comment to
Note the double semantics of vers_set_hist_part() ...
this is fine.
And what's wrong with "is" construct? Note the red apple. Note the apple is red.
The second one emphasizes the apple IS red. Is "double" some special adjective that cannot be used in the second form?

Okay. Then, why a thread didn't check the number of partitions after acquiring MDL_EXCLUSIVE? Like with mutexes, if there's a mutex that protects a shared variable, you first acquire the mutex, then read the variable's value. Not the other way around.
Number of partitions is not a shared variable. part_info is kept in TABLE instance. To get new value it must reacquire share, reparse part_sql string. Then comparing with what? After releasing MDL_SHARED_WRITE everything is gone: TABLE, TABLE_SHARE. You must store somewhere old value, presumably in Open_table_context.
I thought that after acquiring MDL_EXCLUSIVE, just as the thread is trying to add a new partition, it could check the conditions if the new partition, indeed, needs to be added.
If it were so easy as it sounds I'd make it.
Then, please, help me to understand why it's not easy.
I already said, you will need to reacquire share and reparse part_sql string.
Sorry, I really don't know how to help you more until we pass these complexities. It is just irrational to do part of open_table() inside recover_from_failed_open() just to check the new value of num_parts.
