对于build-in的innodb的架构，每次当发布IO请求时，究竟是
mysql服务的线程完成还是由innodb_read_io_threads来完成的呢？和朋友讨论
这个问题，没有结论，通过跟踪发现，是由mysql服务的线程完成的.
MYSQL:5.5.33
OS:RHEL 5.8
连接到mysql,关闭自动提交,然后发布一条sql
mysql> set autocommit=0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> insert into t2 values(34);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
查看当前事务的线程handle
mysql> show engine innodb status\G;
...............................
---TRANSACTION 57498, ACTIVE 3 sec
1 lock struct(s), heap size 376, 0 row lock(s), undo log entries 1
MySQL thread id 12, OS thread handle 0x4d67e940, query id 332 localhost root cleaning up
TABLE LOCK table `db1`.`t2` trx id 57498 lock mode IX
----------------------------
END OF INNODB MONITOR OUTPUT
============================
可以看到当前的handle是 0x4d67e940,通过pstack找到mysql的进程号，然后查看线程
通过gdb也可以实现类似的功能.

对这个线程跟踪IO调用
[[email protected] ~]# strace -e trace=open,pread -p 26297
Process 26297 attached - interrupt to quit
发布一个读表的select
mysql> select count(*) from users;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 2 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)
.....................................................
open("./zabbix/users.ibd", O_RDWR) = 60
pread(60, "sj\304=\0\0\0\4\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\0\0\0\0\3\233\202\267E\277\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 16384, 65536) = 16384
pread(60, "v\304i\227\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\233qz\0\5\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 16384, 16384) = 16384
可以看到这线程的调用输出，先打开文件，然后使用pread去读取，刚好每次的大小是innodb_page_size定的.
