Hmm. I think this works better than the copy and paste into the description field.

Verified against 4.0.21 (1.1918). Thank you for the report. DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1; CREATE TABLE t1 ( a int primary key ) TYPE=InnoDB; INSERT INTO t1 VALUES ( 1 ); Connection 1: LOCK TABLE t1 WRITE; Connection 2: LOCK TABLE t1 WRITE; Connection 1: UPDATE t1 SET a = 2; Connection 2 status remains Locked Connection 1 status remains Searching rows for update Connection 1 blocks for innodb_lock_wait_seconds then aborts. Connection 2 waits for the lock then acquires it (after same timeout).

Hi! Since 4.0.19, InnoDB sets also its own, internal table lock when you call the MySQL's LOCK TABLES. What happens in your program in LOCK TABLES ... WRITE is that: 1) MySQL calls ha_innobase::external_lock() to set an internal InnoDB table lock; 2) MySQL sets its own table lock; 3) MySQL calls an implicit commit which releases the internal InnoDB table lock! This call of an implicit commit is rather illogical. The end result is that connection 1 does NOT have an internal InnoDB table lock when it does the UPDATE, but connection 2 does have that InnoDB table lock, because it is waiting for the MySQL table lock! Connection 1 cannot UPDATE then. Workaround: do SET AUTOCOMMIT=0; and do the COMMITs explicitly. Then MySQL does not call an implicit commit after LOCK TABLES, and InnoDB preserves its internal table locks until the next call of UNLOCK TABLES or COMMIT. Hmm... the best way to fix the bug is to remove that call of an implicit commit at the end of LOCK TABLES. The question for Marko is to find out if that breaks something in MySQL. Regards, Heikki ................ The gdb printout below shows that if you do not use BEGIN, MySQL calls innobase_commit immediately at the end of a LOCK TABLES command. (gdb) Continuing.

A possible fix is discussed in Bug#4852.

The most straightforward way of fixing this bug would be to make LOCK TABLES start a transaction. However, some applications running in AUTOCOMMIT=1 mode simply close the connection when they are finished, and rely on the server to unlock the tables. Were LOCK TABLES modified to do an implicit BEGIN, the transaction would be rolled back on abrupt connection termination, breaking such applications. In AUTOCOMMIT=1 mode, all statements would have been committed individually, and nothing would be rolled back. Unfortunately, for the sake of backward compatibility, this bug cannot be fixed in MySQL 4.0 or 4.1. The transaction system will be revised in MySQL 5.0. The work-around is to run the connection in AUTOCOMMIT=0 mode when using LOCK TABLES, or to issue a BEGIN statement before LOCK TABLES.

Perhaps it would be possible to signal the condition and print a warning in the error log as long as the bug isn't fixed. Should save somebody a lot of debugging.

Can't repeat against 6.0.8-alpha-valgrind-max-debug. I belive this was fixed in 5.1, with the fix for Bug#12713.

I couldn't repeat with 5.1/6.0.
