Description:
Running the latest sysbench (I will upgrade on fluffy):

/usr/local/bin/sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-engine-trx=yes --oltp-table-name=sbtest --oltp-test-mode=nontrx --oltp-nontrx-mode=update_key --max-requests=0 --oltp-dist-type=special --max-time=600 --mysql-table-engine=falcon --mysql-user=root --num-threads=4 --max-time=180 --mysql-port=5555 --mysql-socket=/tmp/falc.sock --mysql-db=sbtest  run

This test, in the previous version of sysbench to fail and give an error of "Err1020 Record has changed since last read" while running updates.

Alexey produced a new version of sysbench which retries the failed update. It now fails with the same error, but hangs the server. If you try to run:

mysql> update sbtest set k=k+1 where id = 1;

The window hangs.

Looking at it with gdb, this is what I saw:

How to repeat:
1. Start mysqld 
2. Run sysbench prepare:

sysbench --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-engine-trx=yes --mysql-socket=/tmp/patg_falc.sock --mysql-port=5555 --mysql-user=root  --mysql-db=sbtest prepare

(note, you might not need to specify port and socket, so omit if you start on standard port/socket)

3. Run sysbench update_key test

sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-engine-trx=yes --oltp-table-name=sbtest --oltp-test-mode=nontrx --oltp-nontrx-mode=update_key --max-requests=0 --oltp-dist-type=special --max-time=600 --mysql-table-engine=falcon --mysql-user=root --num-threads=4 --max-time=180 --mysql-port=5555 --mysql-socket=/tmp/falc.sock --mysql-db=sbtest  run

I will make sure sysbench is up to date on fluffy.

One other important note:

When you start mysql, please start with --default-storage-engine=falcon.

Often when running sysbench prepare then a subsequent test, it runs great because the table was created as myisam.

It was a simple deadlock in the Serial Log when logging a rollback.  The commit code had already been fixed.

Sysbench is now running, but reporting index cleanup failures.  I'm still trying to figure what's happening there.

Ok, sorry to change the synopsis a little bit and re-open, but I get a failure at 256 threads with this test.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure to start mysqld as normal, but with --max-connections=256

2. prepare
sysbench --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-engine-trx=yes --mysql-socket=/tmp/falc.sock --mysql-port=5555 --mysql-user=root --mysql-table-engine=falcon --mysql-db=sbtest prepare

3. run
sysbench --test=oltp --mysql-engine-trx=yes --oltp-table-name=sbtest --oltp-test-mode=nontrx --oltp-nontrx-mode=update_key --max-requests=0 --oltp-dist-type=special --max-time=600 --mysql-table-engine=falcon --mysql-user=root --num-threads=256 --max-time=180 --mysql-port=5555 --mysql-socket=/tmp/falc.sock --mysql-db=sbtest run
