We don't set cp->initialized to true so calling cp_free
will just return and not do anything.

Makes sense; hopefully ccwchain_handle_ccw() cleans up correctly on
error :) (I think it does)


I have checked that it does as well, but wouldn't hurt if someone else
also glances over once again :)

Oh noes.  What happens once we start encountering TICs?  If we do:

ccwchain_handle_ccw()	(OK)
ccwchain_loop_tic()	(OK)
ccwchain_handle_ccw()	(FAIL)

The first _handle_ccw() will have added a ccwchain to the cp list, which
doesn't appear to get cleaned up now.  That used to be done in cp_init()
until I squashed cp_free and cp_unpin_free.  :(

Yup, you are right we are not freeing the chain correctly. Will fix it in v2.


Maybe add a comment

/* ccwchain_handle_ccw() already cleans up on error */

so we don't stumble over this in the future?

Sure.


(Also, does this want a Fixes: tag?)

This might warrant a fixes tag as well.

           cp->initialized = true;
