From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@xxxxxxxxx> In load_cache_entries_threaded(), each thread allocates its own memory pool. This pool needs to be cleaned up while closing the threads down, or it will be leaked. This ce_mem_pool pointer could theoretically be converted to an inline copy of the struct, but the use of a pointer helps with existing lazy- initialization logic. Adjusting that behavior only to avoid this pointer would be a much bigger change.
