A maybe provocatice question: Did you consider to discard MySQL 5.5 and focus on 5.6 instead for the next major MariaDB relelase?

Hi, Kristian!

About LOCK_log, LOCK_index, LOCK_thread_count and the Bug#62614:

1. In mysql-5.5.13, that we're merging with, LOCK_thread_count is called
  *after* LOCK_log and LOCK_index. Perhaps it was your merge of log.cc
  where you swapped them.

2. But in the latest 5.5 as on launchpad, LOCK_thread_count comes before
  LOCK_log and LOCK_index - they've changed it recently.

3. LOCK_thd_data should go after LOCK_thread_count, because
  LOCK_thread_count is taken around 'delete thd', and LOCK_thd_data -
  in the THD destructor.

4. LOCK_log should go after LOCK_thd_data, because LOCK_thd_data is
  taken around THD::awake(), and THD::awake() locks,
  mysys_var->current_mutex, which is LOCK_log in
  MYSQL_BIN_LOG::wait_for_update_relay_log()

5. from 3 and 4 follows that LOCK_thread_count should be locked before
  LOCK_log, not after. Incidentally, when I did that, almost all safemutex
  deadlock detector warnings dissapeared (those that I've seen in every
  rpl test; there are be few in individual tests still).

Regards,
Sergei
