There is no added dir_clear() in 2/2 (the equivalent patch in the
previous series you took that patch from did have one, so I think this
was just an incomplete edit-or-commenting-after-rebasing case).  More
comments on that patch.  The idea for 2/2 is probably good, but should
probably be accompanied with another tweak, and the commit message and
cover letter about it need some updating.

Patch 1/2 is a clear memory leak fix.
