It’s not the subsequent mutexes that I’m bothered about.
More about why the session at the head of the queue is hard parsing for minutes or hours.

Not seen that on 11.2.0.4.



What mutex and location exactly are the sessions waiting on? You can hit x$mutex_sleep from the p2 in v$session for the cursor: pin S wait on X event. Some more details on how to do thatare here:  WAITEVENT: "cursor: pin S wait on X" Reference Note (Doc ID 1298015.1)



Then I'd search MoS for bugs related to that mutex location.

Good question – sorry for missing that out.

Are you on 12.1.0.2 ?

In addition to invisible indexes not being so invisible, I hash partitioned some global PK indexes to reduce insert hot block contention.



These two things – invisible local indexes with some unusable subpartitions and hash partitioned PK indexes - are the only things which changed.





I’ve now got a few handfuls of statements which, in addition to some of them doing table expansion thanks to the not-so-invisible invisible indexes, are doing crazy long hard parsing – like 30 to 40 minutes. And that causes knock-on effects to other sessions in the same workflow for the same sql / objects with “cursor: pin S wait on X” and “library cache lock”





The likely culprit is dynamic sampling. I can see the sessions doing lots of IO against different table partitions as part of the hard parse.



Otherwise the health of the database is no less healthy than it was before and the SQL is the same SQL as it was before.







Whilst I wait for an optimizer trace file and some other dumps/traces, any wild theories as to why just hash partitioning a global PK might cause this?

Probably just covered by bug 16544878.
