Information Schema INNODB_MUTEXES Table

The INNODB_MUTEXES table monitors mutex and rw locks waits. It has the following columns:

ColumnDescription
NAMEName of the lock, as it appears in the source code.
CREATE_FILEFile name of the mutex implementation.
CREATE_LINELine number of the mutex implementation.
OS_WAITSHow many times the mutex occurred.

The CREATE_FILE and CREATE_LINE columns depend on the InnoDB/XtraDB version.

Note that since MariaDB 10.2.2, the table has only been providing information about rw_lock_t, not any mutexes. From MariaDB 10.2.2 until MariaDB 10.2.32, MariaDB 10.3.23, MariaDB 10.4.13 and MariaDB 10.5.1, the NAME column was not populated (MDEV-21636).

The SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS statement provides similar information.
