Jared Cantwell commented on ZOOKEEPER-897:
------------------------------------------
we are using the 3.3.2 release. i don't think the patch leaks memory because
destroy() will eventually get called (by the reentrant call to
zookeeper_close()), which calls cleanup_bufs() and frees those buffers, right?
Also, i had a test that reproduced this error, but it was easiest to reproduce
if i injected artificial sleeps into the zookeeper.c file. If that's ok, then
I can submit that. Otherwise, i'll see if i can devise a test that can
reproduce it otherwise.

> We observed a crash while closing our c client. It was in the do_io() thread
> that was processing as during the close() call.

> We tracked down the sequence of events, and the cause is that input_buffer is
> being freed from a thread other than the do_io thread that relies on it:
> 1. do_io() call check_events()
> 2. if(events&ZOOKEEPER_READ) branch executes
> 3. if (rc > 0) branch executes
> 4. if (zh->input_buffer != &zh->primer_buffer) branch executes
> .....in the meantime......
> 5. zookeeper_close() called
> 6. if (inc_ref_counter(zh,0)!=0) branch executes
> 7. cleanup_bufs() is called
> 8. input_buffer is freed at the end
> ..... back to check_events().........
> 9. queue_events() is called on a NULL buffer.
> I believe the patch is to only call free_completions() in zookeeper_close()
> and not cleanup_bufs(). The original reason cleanup_bufs() was added was to
> call any outstanding synhcronous completions, so only free_completions (which
> is guarded) is needed. I will submit a patch for review with this change.
