If an error is generated while a COM_CHANGE_USER is being done, it would
always use the sequence number 1. To properly handle this case and send
the correct sequence number, the COM_CHANGE_USER progress needs to be
tracked at the session level.
The information needs to be shared between the backend and client
protocols as the final OK to the COM_CHANGE_USER, with the sequence number
3, is the one that the backend server returns. Only after this response
has been received and routed to the client can the COM_CHANGE_USER
processing stop.
As is explained in MDEV-19893:
Client reads from socket, gets the packet from 1. with seqno=0, which
it does not expect, since seqno is supposed to be incremented. Client
complains, throws tantrums and exceptions.
To cater for clients that do not expect out-of-bound messages
(i.e. server-initiated packets with seqno 0), all messages generated by
MaxScale should use at least sequence number 1.
Deep-copying prevents subsequent modifications done by the caller from
affecting the data that can be potentially stored in the write queue of
the backend's DCB.
mxs::Buffer::iterator is not a random-access iterator and hence will have
linear cost. This is too costly to do on every packet with even moderately
sized resultsets.
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.
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 authentication process fails due to an inability to start a
session, it should not be counted towards the number of failed
authentication attempts.
All GWBUF macros that address a single link in a chain are now
simple wrappers for equivalent gwbuf_link-functions.
Next step is to drop the macros and replace their use with calls
to the functions.
