PS-9018: Replica stalls completely when log_replica_updates=0 and a l…

executed

Problem
-------
In high concurrency scenarios, MySQL replica can enter into a deadlock due to a
race condition between the replica applier thread and the client thread
performing a binlog group commit.
Analysis
--------
It needs at least 3 threads for this deadlock to happen
1. One client thread
2. Two replica applier threads
How this deadlock happens?
--------------------------
0. Binlog is enabled on replica, but log_replica_updates is disabled.
1. Initially, both "Commit Order" and "Binlog Flush" queues are empty.
2. Replica applier thread 1 enters the group commit pipeline to register in the
"Commit Order" queue since `log-replica-updates` is disabled on the replica
node.
3. Since both "Commit Order" and "Binlog Flush" queues are empty, the applier
thread 1
3.1. Becomes leader (In Commit_stage_manager::enroll_for()).
3.2. Registers in the commit order queue.
3.3. Acquires the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log.
3.4. Commit Order queue is emptied, but the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log is
not yet released.
NOTE: SE commit for applier thread is already done by the time it reaches
here.
4. Replica applier thread 2 enters the group commit pipeline to register in the
"Commit Order" queue since `log-replica-updates` is disabled on the replica
node.
5. Since the "Commit Order" queue is empty (emptied by applier thread 1 in 3.4), the
applier thread 2
5.1. Becomes leader (In Commit_stage_manager::enroll_for())
5.2. Registers in the commit order queue.
5.3. Tries to acquire the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log. Since it is held by applier
thread 1 it will wait until the lock is released.
6. Client thread enters the group commit pipeline to register in the
"Binlog Flush" queue.
7. Since "Commit Order" queue is not empty (there is applier thread 2 in the
queue), it enters the conditional wait `m_stage_cond_leader` with an
intention to become the leader for both the "Binlog Flush" and
"Commit Order" queues.
8. Applier thread 1 releases the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log and proceeds to update
the GTID by calling gtid_state->update_commit_group() from
Commit_order_manager::flush_engine_and_signal_threads().
9. Applier thread 2 acquires the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log.
9.1. It checks if there is any thread waiting in the "Binlog Flush" queue
to become the leader. Here it finds the client thread waiting to be
the leader.
9.2. It releases the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log and signals on the
cond_var `m_stage_cond_leader` and enters a conditional wait until the
thread's `tx_commit_pending` is set to false by the client thread
(will be done in the
Commit_stage_manager::process_final_stage_for_ordered_commit_group()
called by client thread from fetch_and_process_flush_stage_queue()).
10. The client thread wakes up from the cond_var `m_stage_cond_leader`. The
thread has now become a leader and it is its responsibility to update GTID
of applier thread 2.
10.1. It acquires the lock MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_log.
10.2. Returns from `enroll_for()` and proceeds to process the
"Commit Order" and "Binlog Flush" queues.
10.3. Fetches the "Commit Order" and "Binlog Flush" queues.
10.4. Performs the storage engine flush by calling ha_flush_logs() from
fetch_and_process_flush_stage_queue().
10.5. Proceeds to update the GTID of threads in "Commit Order" queue by
calling gtid_state->update_commit_group() from
Commit_stage_manager::process_final_stage_for_ordered_commit_group().
11. At this point, we will have
- Client thread performing GTID update on behalf if applier thread 2 (from step 10.5), and
- Applier thread 1 performing GTID update for itself (from step 8).
Due to the lack of proper synchronization between the above two threads,
there exists a time window where both threads can call
gtid_state->update_commit_group() concurrently.
In subsequent steps, both threads simultaneously try to modify the contents
of the array `commit_group_sidnos` which is used to track the lock status of
sidnos. This concurrent access to `update_commit_group()` can cause a
lock-leak resulting in one thread acquiring the sidno lock and not
releasing at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Client thread Applier Thread 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
update_commit_group() => global_sid_lock->rdlock(); update_commit_group() => global_sid_lock->rdlock();
calls update_gtids_impl_lock_sidnos() calls update_gtids_impl_lock_sidnos()
set commit_group_sidno[2] = true set commit_group_sidno[2] = true
lock_sidno(2) -> successful
lock_sidno(2) -> waits
update_gtids_impl_own_gtid() -> Add the thd->owned_gtid in `executed_gtids()`
if (commit_group_sidnos[2]) {
unlock_sidno(2);
commit_group_sidnos[2] = false;
}
Applier thread continues..
lock_sidno(2) -> successful
update_gtids_impl_own_gtid() -> Add the thd->owned_gtid in `executed_gtids()`
if (commit_group_sidnos[2]) { <=== this check fails and lock is not released.
unlock_sidno(2);
commit_group_sidnos[2] = false;
}
Client thread continues without releasing the lock
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. As the above lock-leak can also happen the other way i.e, the applier
thread fails to unlock, there can be different consequences hereafter.
13. If the client thread continues without releasing the lock, then at a later
stage, it can enter into a deadlock with the applier thread performing a
GTID update with stack trace.

14. If the applier thread continues without releasing the lock, then at a later
stage, it can perform recursive locking while setting the GTID for the next
transaction (in set_gtid_next()).
In debug builds the above case hits the assertion
`safe_mutex_assert_not_owner()` meaning the lock is already acquired by the
replica applier thread when it tries to re-acquire the lock.
Solution
--------
In the above problematic example, when seen from each thread
individually, we can conclude that there is no problem in the order of lock
acquisition, thus there is no need to change the lock order.
However, the root cause for this problem is that multiple threads can
concurrently access to the array `Gtid_state::commit_group_sidnos`.
In its initial implementation, it was expected that threads should
hold the `MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_commit` before modifying its contents. But it
was not considered when upstream implemented WL#7846 (MTS:
slave-preserve-commit-order when log-slave-updates/binlog is disabled).
With this patch, we now ensure that `MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_commit` is acquired
when the client thread (binlog flush leader) when it tries to perform GTID
update on behalf of threads waiting in "Commit Order" queue, thus providing a
guarantee that `Gtid_state::commit_group_sidnos` array is never accessed
without the protection of `MYSQL_BIN_LOG::LOCK_commit`.- Loading branch information
