[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/4] remove dangerous cleanup __attribute__ uses

[Benjamin Marzinski]

the cleanup __attribute__ is only run when a variable goes out of scope
normally. It is not run on pthread cancellation. This means that
multipathd could leak whatever resources were supposed to be cleaned up
if the thread was cancelled in a function using variables with the
cleanup __attribute__. This patchset removes all these uses in cases
where the code is run by multipathd and includes a cancellation point
in the variables scope (usually condlog(), which calls fprintf(), a
cancellation point, the way multipathd is usually run).

Benjamin Marzinski (4):
  libmultipath: don't print garbage keywords
  libmultipath: avoid STRBUF_ON_STACK with cancellation points
  libmultipath: use regular array for field widths
  libmultipath: avoid cleanup __attribute__ with cancellation points
