By stopping the REST API before the workers and moving the shutdown to the
same worker that handles REST API requests, we prevent the hang on
shutdown. This also makes the signal handler signal-safe.
If a worker has been stopped, tasks must not be executed on it. To prevent
this, the calling code should check whether the worker has been
stopped. This does not prevent the case where a message is successfully
posted to a worker but the worker is stopped before it processes it.
The slave connection I/O-tread stays running if replication credentials are
wrong when connecting to master. This causes a switchover/failover timeout.
When this happens, print the error in the slave connection status as this
clarifies the problem to the user.
If one slave is executing a query while another one is executing a session
command and the one that is executing the session command fails, the
ongoing query would get retried even though the server that failed was not
executing it. If the server was executing a session command, nothing needs
to be done.
RWBackend did not expect that a resultset and an unexpected ERR packet
could be stored in the same buffer. This can happen for example if a
server shuts down immediately after the resultset is sent.
If a packet with a KILL query was followed with another packet in the same
network buffer, the code wouldn't work as it expected to receive only one
packet at a time.
On RHEL8 the former may give rise to incorrect
error: 'char* strncpy(char*, const char*, size_t)' destination
unchanged after copying no bytes [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
In MaxScale, a "deprecated" parameter is not in use and can be ignored.
Leaving the parameters out of serialized configuration files avoids warning
messages.
Before the MXS-2250 fix, the following ends with an error:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t (f INT);
DESCRIBE t;
Reason is that the first is sent to the master (and the table will
not be replicated to slaves) and the latter to some slave.
When a statement like 'DESCRIBE tbl' is classified, the table
name will now be available so that a router can check whether the
table is a temporary one. In that case, the statement must be sent
to the master.
By iterating over the servers and sending the master's charset we are
guaranteed a "known good" charset. This also solves the problem where a
deactivated server reference would be used as the charset and server
version source.
If the execution of a session command fails on a master, it is retried
again. If the master is not available, the response will be returned from
one of the slaves.
The retrying of a read on a slave should only be done when the failing
server is waiting for a result and it was the last server from which a
result was expected.
If the master fails when a session command is being executed with
delayed_retry enabled, a null query would get placed into the query
queue. This change simply prevents the crash and closes the session even
though the query could be retried.
The bug appears when a session command that is executed on the master
fails. The logic in the code doesn't take this case into consideration
when it processes failed connections.
