Subject: [PATCH v2 13/14] upload-pack: fix a memory leak in create_pack_file()
Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2022 23:21:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-v2-13.14-07b6572aea9-20220720T211221Z-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover-v2-00.14-00000000000-20220720T211221Z-avarab@gmail.com>

Fix a memory leak that's been reported by some versions of "gcc" since
"output_state" became malloc'd in 55a9651d26a (upload-pack.c: increase
output buffer size, 2021-12-14).

In e75d2f7f734 (revisions API: have release_revisions() release
"filter", 2022-04-13) it was correctly marked as leak-free, the only
path through this function that doesn't reach the free(output_state)
is if we "goto fail", and that will invoke "die()".

Such leaks are not included with SANITIZE=leak (but e.g. valgrind will
still report them), but under some gcc optimization (I have not been
able to reproduce it with "clang") we'll report a leak here
anyway. E.g. gcc v12 with "-O2" and above will trigger it, but not
clang v13 with any "-On".

The GitHub CI would also run into this leak if the "linux-leaks" job
was made to run with "GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true".

See [1] for a past case where gcc had similar trouble analyzing leaks
involving a die() invocation in the function.
