/****************************************************************************
Handling of global read locks
+ Taking the global read lock is TWO steps (2nd step is optional; without
+ it, COMMIT of existing transactions will be allowed):
+ lock_global_read_lock() THEN make_global_read_lock_block_commit().
+
The global locks are handled through the global variables:
global_read_lock
+ count of threads which have the global read lock (i.e. have completed at
+ least the first step above)
global_read_lock_blocks_commit
- waiting_for_read_lock
+ count of threads which have the global read lock and block
+ commits (i.e. have completed the second step above)
+ waiting_for_read_lock
+ count of threads which want to take a global read lock but cannot
protect_against_global_read_lock
+ count of threads which have set protection against global read lock.
+
+ How blocking of threads by global read lock is achieved: that's
+ advisory. Any piece of code which should be blocked by global read lock must
+ be designed like this:
+ - call to wait_if_global_read_lock(). When this returns 0, no global read
+ lock is owned; if argument abort_on_refresh was 0, none can be obtained.
+ - job
+ - if abort_on_refresh was 0, call to start_waiting_global_read_lock() to
+ allow other threads to get the global read lock. I.e. removal of the
+ protection.
+ (Note: it's a bit like an implementation of rwlock).
+
+ [ I am sorry to mention some SQL syntaxes below I know I shouldn't but found
+ no better descriptive way ]
+
+ Why does FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK need to block COMMIT: because it's used
+ to read a non-moving SHOW MASTER STATUS, and a COMMIT writes to the binary
+ log.
+
+ Why getting the global read lock is two steps and not one. Because FLUSH
+ TABLES WITH READ LOCK needs to insert one other step between the two:
+ flushing tables. So the order is
+ 1) lock_global_read_lock() (prevents any new table write locks, i.e. stalls
+ all new updates)
+ 2) close_cached_tables() (the FLUSH TABLES), which will wait for tables
+ currently opened and being updated to close (so it's possible that there is
+ a moment where all new updates of server are stalled *and* FLUSH TABLES WITH
+ READ LOCK is, too).
+ 3) make_global_read_lock_block_commit().
+ If we have merged 1) and 3) into 1), we would have had this deadlock:
+ imagine thread 1 and 2, in non-autocommit mode, thread 3, and an InnoDB
+ table t.
+ thd1: SELECT * FROM t FOR UPDATE;
+ thd2: UPDATE t SET a=1; # blocked by row-level locks of thd1
+ thd3: FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; # blocked in close_cached_tables() by the
+ table instance of thd2
+ thd1: COMMIT; # blocked by thd3.
+ thd1 blocks thd2 which blocks thd3 which blocks thd1: deadlock.
+
+ Note that we need to support that one thread does
+ FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; and then COMMIT;
+ (that's what innobackup does, for some good reason).
+ So in this exceptional case the COMMIT should not be blocked by the FLUSH
+ TABLES WITH READ LOCK.
+
+ TODO in MySQL 5.x: make_global_read_lock_block_commit() should be
+ killable. Normally CPU does not spend a long time in this function (COMMITs
+ are quite fast), but it would still be nice.
- Taking the global read lock is TWO steps (2nd step is optional; without
