Problem description: | |
If a lock escalation occurs during processing to find a free block, and the block map page moves to a new memory location due to a buffer pool resize operation at the same time, then the wrong address in memory may be referenced, resulting in unpredictable results, such as reusing an already-inuse block, rows inserted into the wrong block, or duplicate block IDs. | |
