Description:
I did some benchmarks and Falcon crashed under load with 64 threads:

Version: '6.0.6-alpha'  socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'  port: 3306  Source distribution                                                  
080429 12:03:57 - mysqld got signal 6 ;                                                                                             
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary                                                           
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,                                                         
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.                                                         
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose                                                       
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong

How to repeat:

Table structure is 
CREATE TABLE `sbtest` (

  `name` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `email` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `password` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `dob` date DEFAULT NULL,
  `address` varchar(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `city` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `state_id` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `zip` varchar(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `country_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `email_idx` (`email`),
  KEY `country_id_idx` (`country_id`,`state_id`,`city`)
) ENGINE=Falcon AUTO_INCREMENT=1000001 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 MAX_ROWS=1000000

Queries are 
SELECT name FROM sbtest WHERE country_id = ? limit 5                          

where ? is random

This problem was found in Transaction::commitNoUpdates and were tracked by three different bugs;
Bug#34602 and Bug#35932 are identical this bug.
Bug#36296 is a performance problem related it.

All were fixed with this changeset.

ChangeSet@1.2639.1.1, 2008-04-24 13:26:34-04:00, jas@rowvwade. +4 -0
  Changed the way dependencies are handled when committed a transaction 
  without updates.  Rather than trying to resolve unavoidable races
  conditions releasing other transaction's

Vadim, yes the main tree is from 20th April. Until we merge with main tree, can you please try mysql-6.0-falcon tree? It should be available via bkbits as well.

http://mysql.bkbits.net:8080/mysql-6.0-falcon
[30 Apr 2008 6:44] Vadim TKACHENKO
Hakan,

Perfect, I will try
[30 Apr 2008 7:24] Vadim TKACHENKO
I tried latest CS from mysql-6.0-falcon tree.

Actually now it crashes even much faster and with 4 threads

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=8388600
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=4
max_threads=3000
thread_count=4
connection_count=4
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 614801 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

I've run this query for server built from the latest sources of mysql-6.0-falcon-team tree ('6.0.6-alpha-pb295') and in my case server crashes with 256 threads but backtrace looks differently. Unfortunately there is no debug binary in pushbuild package so I am going to rebuild from sources with debug and will update issue with my findings.

[5 May 2008 14:18] Kevin Lewis
This crash is a duplicate of Bug#34602 The assertion is ASSERT(dependencies == 0);
It occurs right after a loop of 10 tries to release these dependencies.
This loop was fixed and pushed by Jim into mysql-6.0-falcon-team but not pushed to 6.0.5 release clone-off.
[5 May 2008 19:43] Alexey Stroganov
Just rechecked with the latest changes in mysql-6.0-falcon-team tree. Issue still exists.

And actually assert is not the same that was mentioned in the previous comment:

#4  0x00000000009f64b8 in Record::getEncodedValue (this=0x2aaae4b32f48, fieldId=9, value=0x45849b90) at Record.cpp:653
653                             ASSERT(vector[index] < size);

So I changed state of the bug back to Verified.
[7 May 2008 16:15] Philip Stoev
Alexey: you are getting a crash in getEncodedValue , whereas Kevin appears to be talking about the crash in commitNoUpdates(). Maybe the getEncodedValue() should be split into a separate bug?
[7 May 2008 16:26] Vadim TKACHENKO
Please note this crash happens not in commitNoUpdates like in Bug#34602, but
in releaseDependencies.
I assume 34602 and this bug are different.
[7 May 2008 17:01] Kevin Lewis
This bug was originally opened by Vadim about an assert in commitNoUpdates.  That assert is no longer there, due to the fix for Bug#34602 .  But Vadim indicates that he now sees an assert in Transaction::releaseDependencies(). This may be a related to that fix, and is appropriate to keep associated with this Bug.

The assert in Record::getEncodedValue() that Ranger has reported is different.  It should be put into a new bug.  This is however similar to the fix for Bug#36097.  That fix is in mysql-6.0-falcon-team, but not iun the 6.0.5 release binaries.  Ranger, can you confirm that your crash in getEncodedValue() still exists in falcon-team?  If so, please open a new bug.

Vadim, Due to the confusion, it would be good to re-submit the steps to reproduce the bug in Transaction::releaseDependencies(). If you can provide another call stack with line numbers, that would help since releaseDependencies() has more than one assert.  Also, please provide the value of the variables involved in the assert.
[7 May 2008 19:52] Vadim TKACHENKO
Kevin,

The steps are exactly the same I described originally in this bug.
I am not sure how to get another stack than I posted here - what are steps for ?

I am not able to make more experiments this week, maybe next one.
[7 May 2008 20:53] Kevin Lewis
Vadim,  We can try to reproduce it, but you have only provided a create table and a select statement.  We need some raw data to import into the table or some code to generate that table.  Also, how many of these select statements were you running concurrently?
[7 May 2008 22:58] Vadim TKACHENKO
Kevin,

The schema is
   1.
      CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `$tableName` (
   2.
          `id` int(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   3.
          `name` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
   4.
          `email` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
   5.
          `password` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
   6.
          `dob` date DEFAULT NULL,
   7.
          `address` varchar(128) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
   8.
          `city` varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
   9.
          `state_id` tinyint(3) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  10.
          `zip` varchar(8) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  11.
          `country_id` smallint(5) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  12.
          PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  13.
          UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`),
  14.
          KEY `country_id` (`country_id`,`state_id`,`city`)
  15.
          )

Queries just  SELECT name FROM sbtest WHERE id = ?

so it just access by primary key, which is autoincrement, I think you can use just random data for other fields.

I got crash with 4 concurrent threads on my 8-core box.

I reported crash in Record::getEncodedValue as BUG#36734

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=8388600
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=64
max_threads=3000
thread_count=16
connection_count=16
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 615059 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Olav,  Probably the same as Bug #35932 - Falcon crashes in Transaction::commitNoUpdates for simple SELECT queries
[13 Aug 2008 12:30] Olav Sandstå
As an initial fix to bug Bug #35932 "Falcon crashes in Transaction::commitNoUpdates for simple SELECT queries" I have committed the following patch:

http://lists.mysql.com/commits/51417
  
   "Changed the failing assert so that it handles that the transition of the Transaction object from Active to Available is not "atomic" when seen from a thread not having locked the transaction object."

This fix should also help on this issue.

Note that during work on #35932 I have also seen two different crash and hang scenarios:

Bug #38739 Assert in Transaction::initialize during simple SELECT quries
Bug #38748 Deadlock in Falcon when running simple SELECT queries

These two bugs are likely to occur also for the load used for producing this bug report.

An updated patch for fixing the assert error in bug #35932 has been committed. The patch is available here:

  http://lists.mysql.com/commits/51622

      Follow-up fix to Bug#35932 Falcon crashes in Transaction::commitNoUpdates for simple SELECT queries
            
      The initial assert added in commit http://lists.mysql.com/commits/51491 was too strict. Change this to only assert if the state of the transaction the dependency is pointing to is Initializing.

I met the same call stack with sysbench oltp simple test with older mysql 6.0 version. Now I tested again at mysql-6.0-faclon (revno 2779) version on three different machines (all are quad-core 2-socket system).  The crash seems like to be disappeared, but a new scene is happened. On one machine, sysbench oltp simple test works fine, whatever with low or high concurrent threads runnings. However on other two machines, with higher concurrent threads, mysql will restart automaticly, without any error messages, no call stack. You can only see the below message on the screen. 

"./bin/mysqld_safe: line 133:  6866 Aborted                 nohup /home/mysql/mysql/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/home/mysql/mysql/ --datadir=/home/mysql/database/var --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --max_connections=3000 --table_cache=10240 --log-error=/home/mysql/database/var/perf-alcolu.err --pid-file=/home/mysql/database/var/perf-alcolu.pid --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock --port=3306 </dev/null >>/home/mysql/database/var/perf-alcolu.err 2>&1 >>/home/mysql/database/var/perf-alcolu.err 2>&1"

This bug is 'fixed' by changing the assert so that it accounts for known concurrency issues in commitNoUpdates.  This patch also fixes Bug#35932.

There is a follow-on assert tracked by Bug#38739 that can still happen.  The concurrency problems with releasing dependencies will be fixed by a re-implementation of transaction dependencies, which will be done under Bug#38739.

Olav wrote;  I agree that the bug should be moved away from "patch pending" since it there is no patch waiting for review. The patch I made for this problem was committed as part of bug 35932. So given that that patch have been pushed and is in 6.0.7 I think we should move this bug to the same state. I think we should consider this problem hopefully solved. New bug reports in this area will hopefully be bug 38739.

Hi Vadim,

Thanks for the feedback about that you still saw this crash in 6.0.9. I have made a total new implementation of how Falcon handles transaction dependencies. This is implemented as part of WL#4654 (http://forge.mysql.com/worklog/task.php?id=4654). This code will be included in 6.0.10-alpha. 

If you want to try out the latest version you should be able to get it by downloading the latest source from either the mysql-6.0 or mysql-6.0-falcon trees on launchpad.

Since I believe this crash should not happen any more with the new dependency manager I will set the status of the bug back to as fixed in 6.0.10. Please let us know if you see it or any related problems again.

A note has been added to the 6.0.10 changelog: 

The internal dependency mechanism for handling records and transactions within Falcon has been updated. This fixes a number of issues with transactions and concurrent workloads within Falcon tables.
