I'm sorry, first time to post a thread. mtr is short for mini-transaction.
About mtr in mysql, we can refer to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/glossary.html or
So an insert in mysql, wrapped in a user transaction, may result in multiple mini-transactions, one is responsible for writing redo for undo, the other one for writing redo for clustered index/secondary index, and so on. Each mtr may modify multiple pages, whose redo logs are guaranteed by mtr to be written into disk or none of them are written.
