I run sysbench frequently with MySQL (not MariaDB yet) and don't recall ever seeing this error. But I use much larger values for --oltp-table-size. You used 85937 and I use 1M or larger. Maybe there is too much data contention with smaller tables, even if a large number of tables is used (128 in your case). I use a smaller number of tables - between 4 and 20.

Hello all,

have used Sysbench extensively to test MariaDB CPU load factors between various architectures.

I am noticing massive amounts of "[ERROR] mysqld: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction" in the MariaDB error log during the R/W phase. The Sysbench R/W TPS rates are still respectable for my purposes, but how do I
correct this condition?? Can I ignore this / must live with it?
I have tried three different MariaDB releases (10.0.19, 10.1.12, 10.1.24) to narrow things down, but this message (x 1000's) is happening across all releases in the Sysbench R/W phase.

Here is the Sysbench command that drives the workload against MariaDB -

sysbench --test=lua/oltp.lua --oltp_tables_count=128 --oltp-table-size=85937 --rand-seed=42 --rand-type=uniform --num-threads=128 --oltp-read-only=off --report-interval=2 --mysql-socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --max-time=201 --max-requests=0 --mysql-user=root --percentile=99 run

Would anyone have a tip / idea /pointer?

Regards,

JC
