[PATCH v3 10/11] read-cache.c: fix memory leaks caused by removed cache entries

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

 



When cache_entry structs are removed from index_state.cache, they are not
properly freed. Freeing those entries wasn't possible before because we
couldn't remove them from index_state.name_hash.

Now that we _do_ remove the entries from name_hash, we can also free them.
Add free(cache_entry) to all call sites of name-hash.c::remove_name_hash in
read-cache.c, as name-hash.c isn't concerned with cache_entry allocation.

cmd_rm and unmerge_index_entry_at use cache_entry.name after removing the
entry. Copy the name so that we don't access memory that has been freed.
