RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description sdarade 2019-02-19 10:47:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

MariaDB TABLE CHECKSUM calculation sometimes ignore columns

The fix was implemented for MariaDB 5.5 in commit https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/1ecccb509c9dfa57976a2e2c3af07753a5356188. It was released in MariaDB 5.5.63 release.

Would it be possible to include this fix in RHEL 7.6?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mariadb-5.5.60-1.el7_5.x86_64.rpm 

How reproducible:

I have expanded the src.rpm package "mariadb-5.5.60-1.el7_5.src.rpm"

1) download mariadb-5.5.60-1.el7_5.src.rpm
2) install it with yum install mariadb-5.5.60-1.el7_5.src.rpm
3) cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
4) run rpmbuild -bp --nodeps mariadb.spec
5) go to ../BUILD
6) find the file "sql_table.cc" under the directory.
7) check if the patch of https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/1ecccb509c9dfa57976a2e2c3af07753a5356188 is applied into the function "mysql_checksum_table".

I have checked the line "uchar null_mask=256 -  (1 << t->s->last_null_bit_pos);" exists in the file "sql_table.cc", so it's not applied.

so, filing a Bugzilla to request the backport.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

MariaDB TABLE CHECKSUM calculation sometimes ignore columns.


Expected results:

Filing a Bugzilla to request the backport.


Additional info:

The ticket https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-17085 and https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-17372 deal with a problem that the TABLE CHECKSUM command in MariaDB (server) sometimes ignores/skips columns. Thus the checksum calculation sometimes is wrong.
