Don't forget this one in preload-index.c:preload_index():

+	if (pd.progress)
+		stop_progress(&pd.progress);

I found this extra one by creating the following rules in a Coccinelle script:

@@
expression e;
@@
- if (e) { stop_progress(&e); }
+ stop_progress(&e);

@@
expression e;
expression i;
@@
- if (e) { display_progress(e, i); }
+ display_progress(e, i);


Not sure if we want to put these in a .cocci script or not.
