Subject: [PATCH 08/10] unpack-trees: don't leak memory in verify_clean_subdirectory()
Date: Mon,  4 Oct 2021 02:46:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-08.10-32acc5e5c9e-20211004T002226Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-00.10-00000000000-20211004T002226Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Fix two different but related memory leaks in
verify_clean_subdirectory(). We leaked both the "pathbuf" if
read_directory() returned non-zero, and we never cleaned up our own
"struct dir_struct" either.

 * "pathbuf": When the read_directory() call followed by the
   free(pathbuf) was added in c81935348be (Fix switching to a branch
   with D/F when current branch has file D., 2007-03-15) we didn't
   bother to free() before we called die().

   But when this code was later libified in 203a2fe1170 (Allow callers
   of unpack_trees() to handle failure, 2008-02-07) we started to leak
   as we returned data to the caller. This fixes that memory leak,
   which can be observed under SANITIZE=leak with e.g. the
   "t1001-read-tree-m-2way.sh" test.

 * "struct dir_struct": We've leaked the dir_struct ever since this
   code was added back in c81935348be.

   When that commit was written there wasn't an equivalent of
   dir_clear(). Since it was added in 270be816049 (dir.c: provide
   clear_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory, 2013-01-06)
   we've omitted freeing the memory allocated here.

   This memory leak could also be observed under SANITIZE=leak and the
   "t1001-read-tree-m-2way.sh" test.
