[PATCH] unpack_entry: invalidate newly added cache entry in case of error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In this particular code path, we add "base" to the delta base
cache. Then decide to free it, but we forgot about a dangling pointer
in the cache. Invalidate that entry when we free "base".

 Some of my changes triggered a double free fault at "free(base);" in
 t5303. This looks like a correct thing to do, but I may be missing
 something (I'm not even sure how it happened). Please check.
