Description:
Mysql is crashing during replication. It happend several times even without any user activity on that slave. Only with replication which was turned on. It happend on 3 servers with different hardware, so it's probaly not a hardware error.

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=67108864
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=578
max_threads=1000
thread_count=6
connection_count=6
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 460918 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went

The manual page at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/crashing.html contains

How to repeat:
master - slave replication of single database about 60Gb total size. It happend on several servers for last two days.

One more thing. Mysql 5.5.16 works fine (I have tried it from remi repo and from percona). But 5.5.20 is dying during replications. So my solution was back to 5.5.16 on all slaves.
[22 Mar 2012 7:19] Thomas Lecomte
Hello,

We got the exact same problem here. We are running a 3-node setup under CentOS 5.6 x86_64 with the AMD64 Generic Linux RPM :

MA <---> MB
 |   
 S

MA (Master A) and MB are replicating each other. MA also logs the MB requests so they are both sent to the slave S.

We upgraded from 5.1 to 5.5.21 this night, and started having malloc()-related problems :

We reinstalled 5.5.18 on the slave (only), it crashed again. We then installed 5.5.16 as suggested and it ran fine (executing queries from the relay log).
Reverting all servers to 5.5.16 enabled us to get everything work again.

Attached below is an extract from the mysqld.err logfile, and our my.cnf.

I am also experiencing similar crashes during mysql replication, between a 5.5.15 master and 5.5.20 slave.

In my case, this crash happens every day at approximately the same time.

I have the same problem here, on 3 different servers, with different hardware and Mandriva Linux 2010.2 64 bit.

I have tried this with the following installations on 64 bit machines

mysql-5.1.62-0.1mdv2010.2.x86_64 rpm -> mysql-5.1.62-0.1mdv2010.2.x86_64 rpm
mysql-5.1.62-0.1mdv2010.2.x86_64 rpm -> mysql-5.1.62.tar.gz source tar
mysql-5.1.62-0.1mdv2010.2.x86_64 rpm -> mysql-5.5.23.tar.gz source tar
mysql-5.5.22.tar.gz source tar       -> mysql-5.5.22.tar.gz source tar 
mysql-5.5.22.tar.gz source tar       -> mysql-5.5.23.tar.gz source tar 

(I am of course perfectly well aware that replication from one version to an other is not recommended)

Machines equipped with Mandriva Linux 2010.2
# uname -a
Linux tars-hs2.hobsoft.net 2.6.33.7-server-2mnb #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 19:01:10 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Same problem (On slaves only):

** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/mysqld: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00007fxxxxxxxxxx ***

...and slave servers stops replicating, but no other error is shown

/etc/init.d/mysqld stop    (or restart)

...takes forever.

If I kill the server (killall -9 mysqld_safe  mysqld) and restart, it seems to continue replicating.... (I did not check consistency of master and slave after this restart)

All tables are InnoDB tables with lots of dependencies.

All queries are resonably simple (Insert, insert on duplicate and a few Create Temporary table, but no ALTER) Replaying the relay log up to the number showed in SHOW SLAVE STATUS ( Relay_Log_Pos: 136575) gives:

Since crashing is happening so early in the call stack - does anybody see these crashes when slave's query cache is disabled?  (replication traffic does check query cache ... probably this is a bug itself :)

My best guess so far is a regression or improper fix for this: Bug 12589870
I already got this on my 5.5.22 slave:

OK, I have now had the replication running for 100 times longer than it took for the memory corruption to occur before

I am running Mandriva 2012.2 64bit
mysql-5.5.22.tar.gz source tar -> mysql-5.5.23.tar.gz source tar 

but with Row based bin log

No errors so far...

Making progress now.  Query cache is misbehaving when different or no default database is switched to.   Now seeing a write passed the end of a buffer. It would corrupt memory.

I am still replicating row based without any errors.

all the errors from an overnight run. not good. i'll think of an easy testcase today.

Attachment: bug64624_valgrind_errors_5.5.22.txt (text/plain), 5.42 KiB.

Steps to reproduce this bug are in bug #62942.
Run slave in valgrind.

I'm getting the same errors (bugs #64624 & #62942) after building a 5.5.23 system as a slave to 7.1.9a-1 Cluster.

After a lot of research between MySQL and Percona forums, I found that comments embedded in querys using mixed-replication while the 5.5.23 query cache was on caused MySQL to crash in less in than three minutes, consistently.

Setting query_cache_type = OFF fixed my problem temporarily, but this is not a good solution as I need the cache.

With query cache off, I have the box replicating since Friday night (4th May) without errors.

I am looking into whether I can safely change from MBR to RBR on the master in this environment, but this is a real show-stopper of a bug.

For what it worth, I have similar situation. Percona 5.5.22-2. Replication hangs after about an hour with memory corruption message.
Switching query cache off helps.

I have a similar problem on Ubuntu 12.04 with MySQL 5.5.22. For me, the solution was to disable log-slave-updates. Unfortunately, I need that since I am doing A -> B -> C style replication.
[31 May 2012 13:54] Greg Stewart
As an update: I have completed our transition from 7.1.9a-1 Cluster to Community 5.5.23, and I have RBR working smoothly with query cache ON for both master and slave.

I see that 5.5.25-1 is GA (although, as of 31st May, the change logs say it isn't), but I have a lot of red tape to go through before I can upgrade these production boxes (and I don't have a test box to use). 

But, since I don't see anything related to QC mentioned in the change logs for 5.5.24 and up, the only change that intrigues me at the moment is the improvement to innodb adaptive flushing, so I'll hold off on upgrading the binaries.

A note: Matt Johnson mentioned he turned off log-slave-updates, but I've had that var off all along, and the problem was unbearable for us when QC was on with SBR.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest available version, including the bug fix. More information about accessing the source trees is available at

Fixed in 5.6. Documented as follows in the 5.6.6 changelog:

      After upgrading a replication slave to MySQL 5.5.21, having the query
      cache enabled led the slave to fail.

Closed.

Is there no plan to put a fix for this bug into MySQL 5.5 or MySQL Cluster 7.2?
[12 Jun 2012 12:16] Jon Stephens
This fix was also pushed to MySQL 5.1.64 and MySQL 5.5.26; the 5.1 and 5.5 changelogs will be updated with this information shortly.

Regarding MySQL Cluster: The first set of MySQL Cluster releases to be based on these (or later) MySQL Server versions will also include the fix. The latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.0 and 7.1 are currently based on MySQL Server 5.1.63, and the latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.2 is currently based on MySQL Server 5.5.25.) It is not possible at present to say whether or not the MySQL Cluster trees will be re-based on later MySQL Server versions in time for the next set of MySQL Cluster releases--but in any case, the fix should find its way into them within a release or two.
