From 0ecf18fc7ea573f1283cee2d4cfac87cb5dbae49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Tarjan Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:27:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fsmonitor: fix khash memory leak in do_handle_client The `shown` kh_str_t was freed with kh_release_str() at a point in the code only reachable in the non-trivial response path. When the client receives a trivial response, the code jumps to the `cleanup` label, skipping the kh_release_str() call entirely and leaking the hash table. Fix this by initializing `shown` to NULL and moving the cleanup to the `cleanup` label using kh_destroy_str(), which is safe to call on NULL. This ensures the hash table is freed regardless of which code path is taken.
