2015-02-10mnesia: Check nodes after protocol negotiationJean-Sébastien Pédron
During Mnesia startup, after protocol negotiation, the list of connected nodes is written to "recover_nodes". This list is later used to merge the schema. If Mnesia was stopped on a remote node between the protocol negotiation and the moment the list is stored in "recover_nodes", the remote node is still considered running: the value of "recover_nodes" stored during mnesia_down/1 is overwritten. Therefore, this node may be used to acquire a write lock on the schema in order to perform the merge. In this case, the remote node never answers to the lock request and Mnesia hang forever (application:start(mnesia) never returns). To fix the problem, we check the list one last time and remove from it all nodes where Mnesia is stopped. And because there is still a chance for missing mnesia_down event, handle_cast({mnesia_down, ...}, ...) writes to recover_nodes again, in addition to mnesia_down/1.

2012-10-01mnesia: Use chained send_after instead of send_intervalJames Wheare
timer:send_interval behaves badly when resuming from sleep on some platforms. For example, if I sleep for 10 minutes, and have a send_interval running once per minute, when I resume, 10 messages will be sent immediately, eliminating the benefit of only running the work periodically. This is admittedly a separate bug with send_interval, but the workaround is straightforward, and also protects from messages piling up in the queue when the work takes longer than the interval. This patch fixes piled up error reports on resume from sleep: ** WARNING ** Mnesia is overloaded: {dump_log, write_threshold} You'll still be warned if mnesia is overloaded, just not repeatedly. Additionally, erlang:send_after is more efficient than using the timer module equivalent [1] [1] http://www.erlang.org/doc/efficiency_guide/commoncaveats.html#id57251
2011-09-19[mnesia] Use api to log decisions.Dan Gudmundsson
Instead of just appending decisions to the log, use mnesia_log:log(Decision), it will increment the counter which causes the log to be dumped even if no actual commits are stored on this node. This fixed a bug where the LATEST.log would grow forever on a node which had the schema on disc, but where not involved in any commits.

* uw/mnesia-overload: Enable continuous monitoring of mnesia overload status
2010-05-09Enable continuous monitoring of mnesia overload statusUlf Wiger
Mnesia currently issues an event whenever it detects an overload condition. It recognizes two different types of overload: - whenever the message queue of mnesia_tm process grows large - when a log dump interval triggers before the previous dump is done These events could be used to trigger a load regulation mechanism to reduce the load until the condition seizes. The missing piece is that there is no facility to ask mnesia whether the overload condition still exists. This patch implements a couple of functions in mnesia_lib that can be used to sample the overload status. It has been tested in a load regulator component being developed by Erlang Solutions. No mnesia test suites have been run, since they are not available. No documentation has been updated. The functions in mnesia_lib are at any rate undocumented (as are all other functions in that module). A decision would have to be made about whether to provide a documented API on top of these functions. The internal state record of mnesia_recover has been modified. For this reason, a code change hook has been provided.
