Description:
MySQL server crashes daily to every 3 days due to a semaphore wait.  We've tuned memory as much as possible, lightened the load on the server by forcing reads against a replicant and still are encountering these issues.

The error log is showing the following:
InnoDB: ###### Diagnostic info printed to the standard error stream
InnoDB: Error: semaphore wait has lasted > 600 seconds
InnoDB: We intentionally crash the server, because it appears to be hung.
140911  8:32:01  InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 3196 in file srv0srv.c line 2502

stack traces from the minidump, mysqld.dmp

[9 Feb 2015 18:16] MySQL Verification Team
Stack trace looks like the destructor of THD object locks LOCK_thread_count while it goes on to do a bunch of innodb things like removing the temporary tables which in turn waits for btr_search_latch.  
Not sure who owns that without reading more code.

Stored procedure and new any connections wait for LOCK_thread_count.

LOCK_Open is locked by the background thread who flushes tables due to "flush_time" variable.

I guess a temporary remedy to try could involve:
o) drop all temporary tables explicitly instead of rely on disconnect to cleanup
o) set flush_time=0 to disable background flushing of tables
o) set innodb_adaptive_hash_index=0
[9 Feb 2015 18:52] MySQL Verification Team
Looks like deadlock is simple as this:

thread (0x1224) waits for btr_search_latch;
thread (0x1224) owns LOCK_thread_count
thread (0xc88)  waits for LOCK_thread_count;  
thread (0xc88)  owns btr_search_latch

thread (0x1224) was some code in the Event Scheduler
that created an innodb temporary table but didn't explicitly drop it.
That dropping happens in the event scheduler cleanup:

---TRANSACTION A5BE9197C, ACTIVE 942 sec dropping table
11 lock struct(s), heap size 3112, 6 row lock(s)
MySQL thread id 94304, OS thread handle 0x1224, query id 0 event_scheduler Clearing

thread (0xc88) is some query with many joins and involving a stored function,
and apparently also holds the btr_search_latch according to innodb status, 
but I'm not seeing where it acquired this lock from the stack traces?

---TRANSACTION A5BE9196F, ACTIVE 943 sec, thread declared inside InnoDB 69
mysql tables in use 80, locked 0
, holds adaptive hash latch

I followed a trace of bugs all pointing as duplicates of this one.  Not sure that this is *exactly* the same.  We recently upgraded to 5.6 and are now experiencing this on RHEL6.  Begnning of INNODB MONITOR OUTPUT shows this:

--Thread 140251174065920 has waited at dict0stats.cc line 2385 for 241.00 seconds the semaphore:

InnoDB: ###### Starts InnoDB Monitor for 30 secs to print diagnostic info:
InnoDB: Pending preads 1, pwrites 0

If you look, the same thread id 140251174065920 is trying to aquire a lock it already has...

Can attach a 10 minute INNODB MONITOR output trace if you want it...

[23 Dec 2016 10:49] Stefan Ring
After having scratched my head quite a lot how it is possible that a thread is waiting on an X-lock with lock_word 0 (and even appearing to wait on itself), like in #74684, and like it happened to me recently, I think I have found a possibility:

thread 1 holds x lock
thread 1 recurses 2048 times and overflows it
thread 2 tries to x lock
  because lock_word is positive, rw_lock_lock_word_decr reports success, the thread sets itself as writer and goes on to wait
thread 1 exits overflowing recursion, returning lock_word to negative
thread 2 sees negative lock_word and waits on event
thread 1 exits all the way, returning lock_word to 0
  x unlocking only wakes other threads when the lock_word goes back to X_LOCK_DECR (the initial value), which it does not do because thread 2 has decreased it by one decrement

This train of thought was inspired by <https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/b79efeda435d8af3707f7002506819866eae199f>. There does not seem to be any more information on this, but it hints at a high degree of recursion being possible/expected, and it changes the mechanism so that overflow cannot realistically happen with a sane stack size.
[24 Dec 2016 23:31] Stefan Ring
Damn, lock_word is 64 bits on Linux where I have seen this, so the overflow cannot happen. It’s still possible on Windows, though, I guess.

I the same bug on Windows 10 Pro 1703 for mysql-5.6.37-winx64.
[12 Apr 2018 15:50] TheaterMania Company
This occurs on my system. It doesn't crash, but it hangs the database for about 10 minutes (600 seconds). The database where this occurs is a slave with read-only=1. So, the only writes occurring are from replication.

My configuration is MySQL 5.6 and CentOS 6.9.

This bug is 3 1/2 years old. Are there any updates on when this may be addressed?

Thank you!
[17 Apr 2018 5:02] MySQL Verification Team
Hi all,

We do have some info from the crashes but I can't reproduce this at all. Any chance that someone who can reproduce this often can run a -dev build of mysqld so we can get bit more data out of it?

thanks

Hi. I experience this issue very often. I use mysql server 5.7.28 docker image.
I saw a comment  'We do have some info from the crashes but I can't reproduce this at all. Any chance that someone who can reproduce this often can run a -dev build of mysqld so we can get bit more data out of it?'

How can I make dev build of mysqld? Is there any instruction? Or maybe you can give me a link for already built binaries or docker image?

From the Manual you could get instructions to build a server from source:

I see many options on this page:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-sourcebuild-excerpt/5.7/en/source-configuration-options.ht...
Which of them I have to set and with which values to make dev build in order to get more information when error occurs?
[25 Mar 2021 5:34] MySQL Verification Team
Hi,

As far as I know we do not have produce dev build in docker images, can't confirm no one else produces them.

As for creating a debug build look at here:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/cmake-howto-quick-debug-configuration.html

So basically you just set a build type to debug

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

you can see other build options:

[30 Mar 2021 15:46] sviatoslav apanasyonok
Hi!
Eventually I was able to build debug version of mysql server and make docker image.

Now I run it with --debug option. Full cmd:

mysqld --character-set-server=utf8 --collation-server=utf8_general_ci --max_connections=150 --debug

But it produces to much log output (about 1GB/minute) and work too slow. I'm not sure that I can reproduce error with such configuration. And even if I can reproduce the error, it still will be hard to find useful information in such big log file.

On page https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/making-trace-files.html I see
that it possible to configure what should be debugged. There is example of debug option with parameters:

mysqld --debug=d,info,error,query,general,where:O,/tmp/mysqld.trace

Questions:
What is proper options for debug option regarding this issue?
Do I need to start mysqld with extra options (except debug)?

It would be nice if someone could give me full cmd for mysqld.
[30 Mar 2021 18:18] MySQL Verification Team
Hi,

Thanks for testing. Can you run this debug build but run the mysqld without --debug we should still get more data if you manage to reproduce the problem.

Thanks
