The above description does not really match what the patch does, though. Yes, command.ref_name[] member held varying number of bytes in it, but the code was leaking a singly linked list of the entire command structure, not just ref_name[] member. And the patch makes sure we will release the resource held by the entire chain, not just the ref_name flex-array member.
