fill_bloom_key() allocates memory into bloom_key, we need to clean that up once the key is no longer needed. This leak was found while running t0002-t0099. Although this leak is happening in code being called from a test-helper, the same code is also used in various locations around git, and can therefore happen during normal usage too. Gabor's analysis shows that peak-memory usage during 'git commit-graph write' is reduced on the order of 10% for a selection of larger repos (along with an even larger reduction if we override modified path bloom filter limits): https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210411072651.GF2947267@szeder.dev/ LSAN output: Direct leak of 308 byte(s) in 11 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x49a5e2 in calloc ../projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:154:3 #1 0x6f4032 in xcalloc wrapper.c:140:8 #2 0x4f2905 in fill_bloom_key bloom.c:137:28 #3 0x4f34c1 in get_or_compute_bloom_filter bloom.c:284:4 #4 0x4cb484 in get_bloom_filter_for_commit t/helper/test-bloom.c:43:11 #5 0x4cb072 in cmd__bloom t/helper/test-bloom.c:97:3 #6 0x4ca7ef in cmd_main t/helper/test-tool.c:121:11 #7 0x4caace in main common-main.c:52:11 #8 0x7f798af95349 in __libc_start_main (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x24349) SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 308 byte(s) leaked in 11 allocation(s).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
