* malloc: Fix tcache leak after thread destruction [BZ #22111]Carlos O'Donell2017-10-061-0/+112
The malloc tcache added in 2.26 will leak all of the elements remaining in the cache and the cache structure itself when a thread exits. The defect is that we do not set tcache_shutting_down early enough, and the thread simply recreates the tcache and places the elements back onto a new tcache which is subsequently lost as the thread exits (unfreed memory). The fix is relatively simple, move the setting of tcache_shutting_down earlier in tcache_thread_freeres. We add a test case which uses mallinfo and some heuristics to look for unaccounted for memory usage between the start and end of a thread start/join loop. It is very reliable at detecting that there is a leak given the number of iterations. Without the fix the test will consume 122MiB of leaked memory.
