committer: Robert Bindar timestamp: 2019-08-27 11:38:52 +0300 message: MDEV-20257 Fix crash in Grant_table_base::init_read_record
The bug shows up when a 10.4+ server starts on a <10.4 datadir with a crashed mysql.user table. Grant_tables::open_and_lock tries to open the list of requested tables (host, db, global_priv,..) and because global_priv doesn't exist (pre-10.4 datadir), it falls back to opening mysql.user. The first open_tables call for [host, db, global_priv,..] works just fine. The second open_tables call (trying to open mysql.user alone) sees the crashed user table and performs 3 steps: - closes all the open tables - attempts a table fix for mysql.user (succeeds) - opens the tables initially passed as arguments In an ideal world, the first step should only close the tables passed as arguments (i.e. mysql.user), but for some reasons close_tables_for_reopen makes a close_thread_tables call which closes everything in THD::open_tables (nevertheless, this is probably the intended behavior). This side effect causes all the tables opened in the first open_tables call to now be closed and Grant_table_base::init_read_record tries to read from a released table.

I don't understand that. Where does it crash then? What difference does it make that you replace all tables - are they all corrupted?

why is that?

Hmm... Here you always close/reopen all tables, just to account for the case when the user table is found corrupted. I'd argue that a corrupted user table happens rarely (compared to the non-corrupted), so it makes sense to optimize for the normal use case. That is, only open the user table as before. After it's opened you check if other tables are still opened - if they aren't you can close and reopen everything. This way you only close/reopen all tables if the user table was corrupted. Makes sense?
