From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@xxxxxxxxxx> cache_entry contains an object_id, and compare_ce_content() would include that field when calling memcmp on a subset of the cache_entry. Depending on which hashing algorithm is being used, only part of object_id.hash is actually being used, therefore including it in a memcmp() is technically incorrect. Instead we choose to exclude the object_id when calling memcmp(), and call oideq() separately. This issue was found when running t1700-split-index with MSAN, see MSAN output below (on my machine, offset 76 corresponds to 4 bytes after the start of object_id.hash).
