Taylor Blau 9ca7c2c13b finalize_object_file(): refactor unlink_or_warn() placement
As soon as we've tried to link() a temporary object into place, we then
unlink() the tempfile immediately, whether we were successful or not.

For the success case, this is because we no longer need the old file
(it's now linked into place).

For the error case, there are two outcomes. Either we got EEXIST, in
which case we consider the collision to be a noop. Or we got a system
error, in which we case we are just cleaning up after ourselves.

Using a single line for all of these cases has some problems:

  - in the error case, our unlink() may clobber errno, which we use in
    the error message

  - for the collision case, there's a FIXME that indicates we should do
    a collision check. In preparation for implementing that, we'll need
    to actually hold on to the file.

Split these three cases into their own calls to unlink_or_warn(). This
is more verbose, but lets us do the right thing in each case.

Taylor Blau d1b44bb764 finalize_object_file(): check for name collision before renaming
We prefer link()/unlink() to rename() for object files, with the idea
that we should prefer the data that is already on disk to what is
incoming. But we may fall back to rename() if the user has configured us
to do so, or if the filesystem seems not to support cross-directory
links. This loses the "prefer what is on disk" property.

We can mitigate this somewhat by trying to stat() the destination
filename before doing the rename. This is racy, since the object could
be created between the stat() and rename() calls. But in practice it is
expanding the definition of "what is already on disk" to be the point
that the function is called. That is enough to deal with any potential
attacks where an attacker is trying to collide hashes with what's
already in the repository.

Patrick Steinhardt 12dfc2475c diffcore-break: fix leaking filespecs when merging broken pairs
When merging file pairs after they have been broken up we queue a new
file pair and discard the broken-up ones. The newly-queued file pair
reuses one filespec of the broken up pairs each, where the respective
other filespec gets discarded. But we only end up freeing the filespec's
data, not the filespec itself, and thus leak memory.

Fix these leaks by using `free_filespec()` instead.

Patrick Steinhardt b6c3f8e12c builtin/maintenance: fix leak in `get_schedule_cmd()`
The `get_schedule_cmd()` function allows us to override the schedule
command with a specific test command such that we can verify the
underlying logic in a platform-independent way. Its memory management is
somewhat wild though, because it basically gives up and assigns an
allocated string to the string constant output pointer. While this part
is marked with `UNLEAK()` to mask this, we also leak the local string
lists.

Rework the function such that it has a separate out parameter. If set,
we will assign it the final allocated command. Plug the other memory
leaks and create a common exit path.

Patrick Steinhardt f8d2ca7246 submodule: fix leaking submodule ODB paths
In `add_submodule_odb_by_path()` we add a path into a global string
list. The list is initialized with `NODUP`, which means that we do not
pass ownership of strings to the list. But we use `xstrdup()` when we
insert a path, with the consequence that the string will never get

Plug the leak by marking the list as `DUP`. There is only a single

callsite was mishandling the allocation.

Patrick Steinhardt 6932ec8183 diffcore-order: fix leaking buffer when parsing orderfiles
In `prepare_order()` we parse an orderfile and assign it to a global
array. In order to save on some allocations, we replace newlines with
NUL characters and then assign pointers into the allocated buffer to
that array. This can cause the buffer to be completely unreferenced
though in some cases, e.g. because the order file is empty or because we
had to use `xmemdupz()` to copy the lines instead of NUL-terminating
them.

Refactor the code to always `xmemdupz()` the strings. This is a bit
simpler, and it is rather unlikely that saving a handful of allocations
really matters. This allows us to release the string buffer and thus
plug the memory leak.

Patrick Steinhardt cf8c4237eb parse-options: free previous value of `OPTION_FILENAME`
The `OPTION_FILENAME` option always assigns either an allocated string
or `NULL` to the value. In case it is passed multiple times it does not
know to free the previous value though, which causes a memory leak.

Refactor the function to always free the previous value. None of the
sites where this option is used pass a string constant, so this change
is safe.

While at it, fix the argument of `fix_filename()` to be a string
constant. The only reason why it's not is because we use it as an
in-out-parameter, where the input is a constant and the output is not.
This is weird and unnecessary, as we can just return the result instead
of using the parameter for this.

In `treat_directory()` we perform some logic to handle ignored and
untracked entries. When populating a directory with entries we first
save the current number of ignored/untracked entries and then populate
new entries at the end of our arrays that keep track of those entries.
When we figure out that all entries have been ignored/are untracked we
then remove this tail of entries from those vectors again. But there is
an off by one error in both paths that causes us to not free the first
ignored and untracked entries, respectively.

Junio C Hamano 9c4c840901 howto-maintain-git: discarding inactive topics
When a patch series happened to look interesting to the maintainer
but is not ready for 'next', it is applied on a topic branch and
merged to the 'seen' branch to keep an eye on it.  In an ideal
world, the participants give reviews and the original author
responds to the reviews, and such iterations may produce newer
versions of the patch series, and at some point, a concensus is
formed that the latest round is good enough for 'next'.  Then the
topic is merged to 'next' for inclusion in a future release.

In a much less ideal world we live in, however, a topic sometimes
get stalled.  The original author may not respond to hanging review
comments, may promise an update will be sent but does not manage to
do so, nobody talks about the topic on the list and nobody builds
upon it, etc.

Following the recent trend to document and give more transparency to
the decision making process, let's set a deadline to keep a topic
still alive, and actively discard those that are inactive for a long
period of time.

Jeff King f4c768c639 http-push: clean up local_refs at exit
We allocate a list of ref structs from get_local_heads() but never clean
it up. We should do so before exiting to avoid complaints from the
leak-checker. Note that we have to initialize it to NULL, because
there's one code path that can jump to the cleanup label before we
assign to it.

Fixing this lets us mark t5540 as leak-free.

Curiously building with SANITIZE=leak and gcc does not seem to find this
problem, but switching to clang does. It seems like a fairly obvious
leak, though.

I was curious that the matching remote_refs did not have the same leak.
But that is because we store the list in a global variable, so it's
still reachable after we exit. Arguably we could treat it the same as
future-proofing, but I didn't bother (now that the script is marked
leak-free, anybody moving it to a stack variable will notice).

In http-push's finish_request(), if we fail a loose object request we
may fall back to trying a packed request. But if we do so, we leave the

We can fix this by always cleaning it up. Note that the obj_req pointer
here (which we'll set to NULL) is a copy of the request->userData
pointer, which will now point to freed memory. But that's OK. We'll
either release the parent request struct entirely, or we'll convert it
into a packed request, which will overwrite userData itself.

Jeff King 92e1eb491a http-push: clean up objects list
In http-push's get_delta(), we generate a list of pending objects by
recursively processing trees and blobs, adding them to a linked list.
And then we iterate over the list, adding a new request for each
element.

But since we iterate using the list head pointer, at the end it is NULL
and all of the actual list structs have been leaked.

We can fix this either by using a separate iterator and then calling
object_list_free(), or by just freeing as we go. I picked the latter,
just because it means we continue to shrink the list as we go, though
I'm not sure it matters in practice (we call add_send_request() in the
loop, but I don't think it ever looks at the global objects list
itself).

XML parse is done in remote_ls(), we should free the string to avoid a
leak.

This fixes several leaks found by running t5540.

Jeff King 94c6285780 http-push: free transfer_request strbuf
When we issue a PUT, we initialize and fill a strbuf embedded in the
transfer_request struct. But we never release this buffer, causing a
leak.

We can fix this by adding a strbuf_release() call to release_request().
If we stopped there, then non-PUT requests would try to release a
zero-initialized strbuf. This works OK in practice, but we should try to
follow the strbuf API more closely. So instead, we'll always initialize
the strbuf when we create the transfer_request struct.

That in turn means switching the strbuf_init() call in start_put() to a
simple strbuf_grow().

This leak is triggered in t5540.

Jeff King 7d3c71ddbf http-push: free transfer_request dest field
When we issue a PUT request, we store the destination in the "dest"
field by detaching from a strbuf. But we never free the result, causing
a leak.

We can address this in the release_request() function. But note that we
also need to initialize it to NULL, as most other request types do not
set it at all.

Curiously there are _two_ functions to initialize a transfer_request
struct. Adding the initialization only to add_fetch_request() seems to
be enough for t5540, but I won't pretend to understand why. Rather than
just adding "request->dest = NULL" in both spots, let's zero the whole
struct. That addresses this problem, as well as any future ones (and it
can't possibly hurt, as by definition we'd be hitting uninitialized
memory previously).

This fixes several leaks noticed by t5540.

Jeff King 747a71019c http-push: free curl header lists
To pass headers to curl, we have to allocate a curl_slist linked list
and then feed it to curl_easy_setopt(). But the header list is not
copied by curl, and must remain valid until we are finished with the
request.

A few spots in http-push get this right, freeing the list after
finishing the request, but many do not. In most cases the fix is simple:
we set up the curl slot, start it, and then use run_active_slot() to
take it to completion. After that, we don't need the headers anymore and
can call curl_slist_free_all().

But one case is trickier: when we do a MOVE request, we start the
request but don't immediately finish it. It's possible we could change
this to be more like the other requests, but I didn't want to get into
risky refactoring of this code. So we need to stick the header list into
the request struct and remember to free it later.

Curiously, the struct already has a headers field for this purpose! It
goes all the way back to 58e60dd203 (Add support for pushing to a remote
repository using HTTP/DAV, 2005-11-02), but it doesn't look like it was
ever used. We can make use of it just by assigning our headers to it,
and there is already code in finish_request() to clean it up.

This fixes several leaks triggered by t5540.

Jeff King 4324c6c0d9 http-push: free repo->url string
Our repo->url string comes from str_end_url_with_slash(), which always
allocates its output buffer. We should free it before exiting to avoid
triggering the leak-checker.

This can be seen by leak-checking t5540.

We parse the command-line arguments into a refspec struct, but we never
free them. We should do so before exiting to avoid triggering the
leak-checker.

This triggers in t5540 many times (basically every invocation of
http-push).

Jeff King 134bfedf6d http-walker: free fake packed_git list
The dumb-http walker code creates a "fake" packed_git list representing
packs we've downloaded from the remote (I call it "fake" because
generally that struct is only used and managed by the local repository
struct). But during our cleanup phase we don't touch those at all,
causing a leak.

There's no support here from the rest of the object-database API, as
these structs are not meant to be freed, except when closing the object
store completely. But we can see that raw_object_store_clear() just
calls free() on them, and that's enough here to fix the leak.

I also added a call to close_pack() before each. In the regular code
this happens via close_object_store(), which we do as part of
raw_object_store_clear(). This is necessary to prevent leaking mmap'd
data (like the pack idx) or descriptors. The leak-checker won't catch
either of these itself, but I did confirm with some hacky warning()
calls and running t5550 that it's easy to leak at least index data.

This is all much more intimate with the packed_git struct than I'd like,
but I think fixing it would be a pretty big refactor. And it's just not
worth it for dumb-http code which is rarely used these days. If we can
silence the leak-checker without creating too much hassle, we should
just do that.

This lets us mark t5550 as leak-free.
