Bug Description

It looks very similar to bug #951588, except that it's marked as fixed a few versions ago.

RQG grammar percona-is.yy (the grammar queries any tables in I_S, but it really boils down to concurrent ALTER TABLE and SELECT I_S. GLOBAL_TEMPORARY_TABLES or such):

query:
        SELECT * FROM { $last_database = 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA' } . _table LIMIT 1 ;

thread1:
        ALTER TABLE _table ADD COLUMN _letter INTEGER |
        ALTER TABLE _table DROP COLUMN _letter ;

# End of RQG grammar

RQG command line:

perl ./runall.pl --threads=2 --duration=600 --queries=100M --grammar=percona-is.yy --engine=InnoDB --gendata --basedir=<your basedir>

The test crashes for me within seconds after start.

Elena -

Thanks for your bug report. What was the table definition for "E" before the crashing ALTER TABLE?

Indeed it's very similar to bug 951588. There is a difference though that 951588 testcase does not exercise auto_increment, and this crash is in the auto_increment code path. Extending the 951588 testcase to exercise auto_increment goes through this code path, but does not assert.

                        KEY (col_datetime_key),
                        KEY (col_varchar_key, col_int_key)
                ) ENGINE=InnoDB

I don't have logs from the exact reported crash, but in a very similar one the crash happened on the very first ALTER TABLE E ADD COLUMN, so the table definition hadn't yet changed by then.

Same was the case with my intermediate (non-deterministic) MTR test. All it did was

- create table as described above;
- populate with 1000 rows;
- run ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN;
- in parallel with alter, run I_S queries
        SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA . `INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE` LIMIT 1;
        SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA . `GLOBAL_TEMPORARY_TABLES` LIMIT 1;

I don't know if the first query is anyhow important or it's there just for the right timing, I suspect the latter.

Anyway, it happens easily with the provided grammar, I expect you shouldn't have a problem reproducing it.

Further to comment #12 (I assume that was an important thread in this story), I now have a crash with a backtrace that looks very similar to the non-crashing stack posted in #12). Logged this as bug 1205200 - but it may be closely related, or even a duplicate.

MTR testcase for 5.6. Does not fail at exact same place, but the assert is the same, I believe it's the same root cause (THD::in_use reset in I_S query)

The temporary table->in_use patching with the THD of the I_S query is causing this. It's been present since day one and it has been made redundant by cloning the temp table handler instead of calling info on it directly.

5.1 does not include such temp tables in the temp table list, making them invisible to GLOBAL_TEMPORARY_TABLES queries. Fixing the code anyway in case the is some other code path that triggers it.
