Hello,

please see simple patch set fixing minor memory leaks of providers.
I'm not aware of any user hitting those currently.

Thanks!

I don't think we should do this kind of change, it's quite possible
we'll start using talloc pools soon which will make us migrate from
using NULL context.

Just make sure tmp_ctx is freed as appropriate.

I haven't reviewed the rest of the patches.

      if (!tmp_ctx) return ENOMEM;

Bump. (I think that the first patch nacked by Jakub can be ignored.)

Ack to all.

I think even the first one should be pushed. 1) I don't think we are going to
use talloc pools anytime soon. 2) When and if we are going to use them it
will be a big change and in my opinion it will be more doable to convert
consistent code.

Consistent code does not require following change in the 1st patch
-    tmp_ctx = talloc_new(mem_ctx);
+    tmp_ctx = talloc_new(NULL);

temporary context needn't be allocated on NULL context
IMHO; it can be allocated on mem_ctx without any issue.

It can. It is not our coding style though.

But it needn't :-)
So this change is not necessary.

I checked the source code and in 10% of cases we do not use
NULL context for temporary context. Moreover if we want to use talloc pools
in future then it would be better to reduce usage of NULL context.

It's fine to use NULL context for allocation in function which can be unit
tested (leak_check_setup, leak_check_teardown); but it is not this case
in the 1st patch.

As the discussion about the first patch stalled I propose to omit it and push 
the rest of the patch set to master.

Should I send updated patch set or committer can skip the first patch himself?
