In virNetServerProgramDispatchCall, The arg is passed as a void* and used to point
to a certain struct depended on the dispatcher, so I think it's the memory of the
struct's member that leaks and this memory shuld be freed by xdr_free.

In virNetServerClientNew, client->rx is assigned by invoking virNetServerClientNew,
but isn't freed if client->privateData's initialization failed, which leads to a
memory leak. Thanks to Liang Peng's suggestion, put virNetMessageFree(client->rx)
into virNetServerClientDispose() to release the memory.

Yeah, this one is a genuine memleak. IIUC it can be reproduced by:

   client = virNetServerClientNew(...);
   virObjectUnref(client);

But here I believe we also need to free dispatcher->ret_filter:

   xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter, ret);

Hi Michal,
I'm not sure why we need to free ret here. IIRC, xdr_free is to free memory pointed by *ret instead of ret. For example, if ret is pointing to a struct which contains a string, like:
struct Test {
    char *str;
}
then I think xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter, ret) will free str instead of struct Test itself. So I think we will only need to call xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter, ret) after we call (dispatcher->func)(server, client, msg, &rerr, arg, ret).

Thanks,
Peng


and in the rest of the hunks too. But at this point, I wonder whether we
shouldn't have just two places where this free is done: one in
successful path and one under error label.

Michal
