MDEV-7660 MySQL WL#6671 "Improve scalability by not using thr_lock.c locks for InnoDB tables"

 

Hi, Sergey,

I think it's fine. I had a few questions though, see below:

I don't understand this code in mysql_ha_read() at all :(
even before your changes

Why?

>     - UNLOCK TABLES now re-enables autocommit implicitely if it was disabled by

1. Was it possible - before your change - for OPTION_AUTOCOMMIT and
OPTION_NOT_AUTOCOMMIT to be out of sync?

2. What if someone changes @@autocommit under LOCK TABLES?
Do you have a test for that?

3. Do you need to set SERVER_STATUS_AUTOCOMMIT here?

I don't understand the original test case. But after your changes it
actually makes sense :)

why is that?

what happens for InnoDB then?
I'd expect "handler t1 read a next" to get blocked inside the InnoDB.
what does then "drop table t1" do?
