Description:
When a query gets aborted due to exceeding lock_wait_timeout while the query was waiting for table metadata lock, the aborted query is being written to the slow query log.

Also, the time it spent in "waiting for table metadata lock" is getting counted under query_time and lock_time is taken as 0.

The same is the case when I kill the query while it was waiting for table meta data lock after long_query_time.

According to MySQL documentation https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/slow-query-log.html , the below is mentioned 

"The time to acquire the initial locks is not counted as execution time. MySQL writes a statement to the slow query log after it has been executed and after all locks have been released" 

Ideally, MySQL shouldn't have logged this query in slow query log. 

How to repeat:
######### Scenario 1 #########

Query got aborted after lock_wait_timeout and the query was logged in the slow query log. Also, it has counted the time while it was waiting for table metadata lock in the Query_time.

After long_query_time I.e. 10 sec, I killed the query.

By checking the trace, noticed that , In the case of MDL, utime_after_lock and thd->start_utime have the same value while calling update_server_status() which is basically set by THD::set_time function and utime_after_lock value is not getting updated at all after that. Because of this, while updating the server status, the following condition is resulting to true and hence, query is getting logged.

void update_server_status()
  {
    ulonglong end_utime_of_query= current_utime();
    if (end_utime_of_query > utime_after_lock + variables.long_query_time)
      server_status|= SERVER_QUERY_WAS_SLOW;
  }

So, the condition "end_utime_of_query > utime_after_lock + variables.long_query_time" will be true.

(gdb) p this->start_utime
$22 = 1577699611659829
(gdb) p utime_after_lock
$18 = 1577699611659829
(gdb) p end_utime_of_query
$19 = 1577699635781233
1577699635781233 > 1577699611659829 + 10000000 (long_query_time) -> True

In the case of RECORD LOCKS, utime_after_lock is getting updated with the help of the following function and hence the aborted query is not getting logged in slow query log.
void thd_storage_lock_wait(THD *thd, long long value)
{
  thd->utime_after_lock+= value;
}

I have taken another scenario where the query was waiting for table metadata lock and then after some time (before lock_wait_timeout exceedes), the lock was acquired. The query executed for more than long_query_time.

In this scenairo, lock_time is getting counted as expected. Checked the stack for the same 

If the query acquires lock before lock_wait_timeout, then utime_after_lock is getting updated with the help of the below function 

void set_time_after_lock() 
{ 
utime_after_lock= my_micro_time(); 
MYSQL_SET_STATEMENT_LOCK_TIME(m_statement_psi, (utime_after_lock - start_utime)); 
} 

The above function is called in mysql_lock_tables. However, when the query gets aborted after lock_wait_timeout or got killed while waiting for MDL, the function mysql_lock_tables itself is not called. Hence, utime_after_lock is not getting updated.

Suggested fix:
May be we can call set_time_after_lock() when the query gets aborted while waiting for MDL so that utime_after_lock gets updated and accordingly the query will not be considered to get logged in slow query log.

Hello Pranay,

Thank you for the report and test case.
