mysql crash after upgrade from 5.1 to 5.6

MySQL & MariaDB Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.x
1

We recently upgraded from mysql 5.1 to Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6.19-67.0 Since then we have been seeing frequent crashes with the following output in the log:

15:33:14 UTC - mysqld got signal 11 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
Please help us make Percona XtraDB Cluster better by reporting any
bugs at [URL]https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtradb-cluster[/URL]

key_buffer_size=1073741824
read_buffer_size=8388608
max_used_connections=23
max_threads=1002
thread_count=9
connection_count=9
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 25688954 K bytes of memory
Hope that’s ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong…

Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort.

Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

An Update:
We were seeing mysql crash every 2-20 minutes. We were using the Percona XtraDB Cluster version 5.6.19-67.0-56 as we were planning on setting up a Galera cluster in the future. We uninstalled Percona XtraDB Cluster and installed Percona Server 5.6.17-66.0 and have not seen mysql crash since. I can’t say whether it was the Galera bits or the slightly newer version of mysql that was causing the problem.

Hi msadm,

It’s recommended when upgrading a MySQL based data set to upgrade one major version step at a time. In other words, upgrade the data from 5.1 to 5.5, then from 5.5 to 5.6. Did you follow that procedure?If not, you may need to do a mysqldump and load into a new clean table store.
