I am seeing a deadlock with MySQL 5.6 because of what seems like trying to lock the same row/s twice.
From the snippet below, rows where id = (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) already have a lock. And when another transaction tried to acquire a lock on these, MySQL failed the transaction detecting a deadlock.
Is my reading of this correct? If so, is there anything in MySQL 5.6 to get over this? FWIW, the same code in 5.5 worked just fine (for several hundreds of iterations).
