I found a bug: Thou shalt not free(3) memory dirname(3) returned On Linux basename() and dirname() return a pointer with the string passed as argument. On BSD flavors, basename() and dirname() return static storage, or pthread specific storage. Both behaviour are compliant, but calling free on the result in the second case is a bug. --- xlators/cluster/afr/src/afr-dir-write.c.orig 2012-05-19 16:45:30.000000000 +0200 +++ xlators/cluster/afr/src/afr-dir-write.c 2012-05-19 17:03:17.000000000 +0200 @@ -55,14 +55,22 @@ if (op_errno) *op_errno = ENOMEM; goto out; } - parent->path = dirname (child_path); + parent->path = gf_strdup( dirname (child_path) ); + if (!parent->path) { + if (op_errno) + *op_errno = ENOMEM; + goto out; + } parent->inode = inode_ref (child->parent); uuid_copy (parent->gfid, child->pargfid); ret = 0; out: + if (child_path) + GF_FREE(child_path); + return ret; } /* {{{ create */-- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx
