The crash doesn't occur on 6.0.6 if I turn off DS-MRR and Index Condition Pushdown using

[8 Jul 2009 7:59] Timour Katchaounov
Nidhi,

First, you should not close duplicate bugs, a duplicate is a duplicate, it is
not resolved until the main bug is fixed. When the main bug is fixed, that
fix needs to be tested against all duplicates, and only if the duplicates
are fixed, one can close them.

Second, I don't see any reasoning why this is a duplicate. Have you debugged
this case, have you seen some other bug with exactly the same failure? If
there are bugs with exactly the same stack traces, and similar queries, then
one may assume they are duplicates, otherwise no.

Just determining that a bug is in a certain area, and that some other bug
is in the same area of functionality, doesn't make the first a duplicate.

I am setting this back to Verified, so that you re-evaluate this bug.

In general, if I see other bugs being dealt with in such a formal way, I
will request a reevaluation of all bugs you closed. Finally, what is your
role with this bug? If you were assigned to fix, why you are not set in the
"Assign to" field?

By doing a "quick fix" of the first memory issue by just doubling the size of the array (as described in Bug#43360) fixes the previous memory issue.

The test case still fails and a new valgrind run reveals a second memory issue where uninitialized memory is read;

The approach suggested in Igor's blog is very similar to the first solution I arrived at when working on Bug#41996. Both solutions disables support for ICP for the query in InnoDB when InnoDB has decided to use the clustered index instead of the scanning index. 

Both these solutions "fixes" the crash seen in this bug and several related bugs (Bug#35080, Bug#40992, Bug#41996). Unfortunately this solution seem not to be correct. It is too late to disable the ICP at this stage of execution of the query. At this point the pushed index condition has been accepted by InnoDB and the server expect it to be used. There seems to be no "second evaluation" done by the MySQL server on what is returned from InnoDB as the pushed index condition is "removed" from the server's condition evaluation when it has been accepted by InnoDB.

I will attach a test case illustrating this to this bug report. This test case contains a "normal" select query that is using ICP:

  select a,filler from t3 where a >= 'c-1994=w' and a != 'c-1996=w';

This query returns the correct rows. The second version of this query contains a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE:

  select a,filler from t3 where a >= 'c-1994=w' and a != 'c-1996=w' for update;

This will trigger disabling of ICP if Igor's or mine proposed solution is used. And as a result the select condition will not be evaluated neither by InnoDB or by the server - and as a result too many rows are returned.

I have not tried it out yet but for this to work we need to be able to determine that we should disable ICP for a given query before the pushed down condition has been accepted by InnoDB (in ha_innobase::idx_cond_push()). Alternatives would be to extend the ICP support in InnoDB to handle that the clustered index is used instead of the scanning index or to have the server always evaluate the full select condition (do a "second evaluation").

      Fix for Bug#36981 innodb crash when selecting for update
      
      This crash occurred due to a mismatch between what the ICP code in
      InnoDB expected to be in the InnoDB record and what actually was there. 
      The ICP code expected the record to contain an index entry for the 
      index for the ICP condition while the record contained an entry from
      the clustered index. This happened due to InnoDB changing from using
      the ICP index to using the clustered index if the statement should use
      LOCK_X type locks (which happens when doing SELECT...FOR UPDATE or
      DELETE operations).
      
      The ICP implementation in InnoDB does not support ICP if the index is
      the primary key (using the clustered index). This change fixes the
      crash by extending the check for whether or not to accept the pushed
      index to also not support the case where InnoDB will change from using
      the ICP index to the clustered index when the lock type is LOCK_X.
      
      The attached test case contains two tests. The first is based on the
      original reproduction case from the bug. The second test case is added
      to have a test to verify that the condition is evaluated even if it
      is refused by InnoDB.  
      
      Note that the included test case should be included in the
      include/icp_tests.inc file when this have been pushed as part of the
      fix for Bug #43360. This will ensure it is run for both InnoDB and MyISAM.

With index condition pushdown enabled, InnoDB could crash due to a
mismatch between what pushdown code expected to be in a record versus
was was actually there.

      Fix for Bug#36981 innodb crash when selecting for update.
      
      (Backporting of revid:olav@sun.com-20100225125531-9249z4xxvxqya96u)
                        
      This crash occurred due to a mismatch between what the ICP code in
      InnoDB expected to be in the InnoDB record and what actually was there. 
      The ICP code expected the record to contain an index entry for the 
      index for the ICP condition while the record contained an entry from
      the clustered index. This happened due to InnoDB changing from using
      the ICP index to using the clustered index if the statement should use
      LOCK_X type locks (which happens when doing SELECT...FOR UPDATE or
      DELETE operations).
          
      The ICP implementation in InnoDB does not support ICP if the index is
      the primary key (using the clustered index). This change fixes the
      crash by extending the check for whether or not to accept the pushed
      index to also not support the case where InnoDB will change from using
      the ICP index to the clustered index when the lock type is LOCK_X.
                        
      The attached test case contains two tests. The first is based on the
      original reproduction case from the bug. The second test case is added
      to have a test to verify that the condition is evaluated even if it
      is refused by InnoDB.  
     @ mysql-test/include/icp_tests.inc
        Test for Bug#36981 innodb crash when selecting for update.
     @ mysql-test/r/innodb_icp.result
        Result file for ICP Bug#36981 when run against InnoDB.
     @ mysql-test/r/myisam_icp.result
        Result file for ICP Bug#36981 when run against MyISAM.
     @ mysql-test/t/innodb_icp.test
        Test case for ICP code for InnoDB. Note that currently this test
        will only run for debug builds due to ICP being disabled for InnoDB
        in release builds.
     @ mysql-test/t/myisam_icp.test
        Test case for ICP code in MyISAM.
     @ storage/innobase/handler/ha_innodb.cc
        Do not accept a pushed index condition if the lock strategy is LOCK_X
        since InnoDB in this case will switch from using the ICP index to the
        clustered index (which is not supported by the ICP implementation).
     @ storage/innobase/row/row0sel.c
        Change assert in the ICP implementation to test that the mysql_template
        is generated for a request for the index record's field and not for the
        entire base record.
