Hi all,
More bmi questions... :-)
The BMI_testeunexpected call returns a list of BMI_unexpected_info
structs. Each of these has a buffer that's been allocated by the bmi
method internally. It looks like that buffer gets freed in
server_state_machine_complete (pvfs2-server.c) with a call to free
(also gets freed on an error). Two questions:
1. Should BMI_memfree be used instead of free, since the allocation
is done in the specific bmi method?
2. Could the free of that buffer occur in
server_state_machine_start, right after the call to PINT_decode? It
doesn't look like the buffer is used after that, and it might allow
the bmi method to reuse buffers better if it handles unexpected
messages that way. At the least, it might reduce the server's
footprint a little under heavy load.
