Description:
MySQL server is frozen after issue "STOP GROUP_REPLICATION;" command on Primary (on single primary group replication).
But interesting thing is no problem with other remain members (They are elected new primary and no problem with INSERT and SELECT..)

After time goes by, increase user "mysql_router1_kg12m0n956rc"'s session and query(blocked).

How to repeat:
I am not sure this is constant case or some timing issue.
Anyway this case is happen when I tested below 3 session case.

>> Session-1
  while(true){
      insert into test values (NULL, now());  ## on "read-write" channel via mysql router
      sleep(1 millis);
  }

>> Session-2
  while(true){
      select 1 from test limit 1  ## on "read-only" channel via mysql router
      sleep(1 millis);
  }

>> Session-3
  stop group_replication  ## on current primary member

meet the same situation :

- single primary mode
- stop group replication on primary node
- schedule an event to insert row into one table
- dead lock occur

processlist:

6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

when I use "kill 5658" to kill the internal query on MGR "PLUGIN: SET GLOBAL super_read_only= 1 ", deadlock disappear...

what's worse, when kill the session of "set global super_read_only = 1", data inconsistency occur when I try to rejoin this node back to the group

Hi,

Thanks for the report. I cannot reliably reproduce this issue but I did manage to reproduce it few times. Looks like the freeze happens when doing stop replication while few sessions are doing insert and few sessions are doing select. That is a "normal" state of any db system (sessions running read/write), so I was not able to reliably find a 100% reproduction case. 

If any of you is able to offer an easy to reproduce test case I'd very much appreciate (that would for sure speed up fixing of this bug).

Thanks
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan Kecman, maybe you can use sysbench transaction write test to  reproduce this situation.
