Bug #80625 InnoDB: Failing assertion: table->data_dir_path while dropping table

Description:
Hi dear all,
Here is the reproduce path:

mysql> use test;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> CREATE TABLE `t2` (   `c1` int(11) NOT NULL,   PRIMARY KEY (`c1`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 data directory='/tmp/foo';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,33 sec)

mysql> insert into t2 values(1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0,06 sec)

mysql> insert into t2 values(2);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0,06 sec)

Normal shutdown:

root@shrzayev:~# service mysql stop
......
 * MySQL Community Server 5.6.29 is stopped

Moving t2.ibd file from /tmp/foo/test to /var/lib/mysql/test and removing original path:

root@shrzayev:/tmp/foo/test# mv t2.ibd /var/lib/mysql/test/
root@shrzayev:/var/lib/mysql/test# ls -l
total 224
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql    65 Mar  5 22:17 db.opt
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql  8556 Mar  5 22:50 t1.frm
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 98304 Mar  5 22:52 t1.ibd
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql  8556 Mar  6 13:09 t2.frm
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 98304 Mar  6 13:09 t2.ibd
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql    20 Mar  6 13:09 t2.isl

root@shrzayev:/var/lib/mysql/test# cat t2.isl 
/tmp/foo/test/t2.ibd

root@shrzayev:/tmp# rm -rf foo/

Starting MySQL:

2016-03-06 13:14:26 7f0698b15780  InnoDB: Operating system error number 2 in a file operation.
InnoDB: The error means the system cannot find the path specified.
InnoDB: If you are installing InnoDB, remember that you must create
InnoDB: directories yourself, InnoDB does not create them.
2016-03-06 13:14:26 8751 [ERROR] InnoDB: A link file was found named './test/t2.isl' but the linked tablespace '/tmp/foo/test/t2.ibd' could not be opened.
2016-03-06 13:14:26 8751 [Note] InnoDB: The InnoDB data dictionary table SYS_DATAFILES for tablespace ID 15 was updated to use file ./test/t2.ibd.

So it seems that, changes are reflected as shown in error log and in fact we can access table:

mysql> select * from t2;
+----+
| c1 |
+----+
|  1 |
|  2 |
+----+
2 rows in set (0,00 sec)

But if you try to drop table:

mysql> drop table t2;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

How to repeat:
See description.

Suggested fix:
Maybe such operation is not allowed. If so it should  be indicated clearly.
From error log it is clear that the new tablespace path is updated. So it is a quite true action.

Changed OS -> to ANY

Hello Shahriyar,

Thank you for the report.
