When "vary" is enabled, we can have multiple entries for a given primary key in the cache tree. There is a limit to how many secondary entries can be inserted for a given key. When we try to insert a new secondary entry, if the limit is already reached, we can try to find expired entries with the same primary key, and if the limit is still reached we want to abort the current insertion and to remove the node that was just inserted. In commit "a29b073: MEDIUM: cache: Add refcount on cache_entry" though, a regression was introduced. Instead of removing the entry just inserted as the comments suggested, we removed the second to last entry and returned NULL. We then reset the eb.key of the cache_entry in the caller because we assumed that the entry was already removed from the tree. This means that some entries with an empty key were wrongly kept in the tree and the last secondary entry, which keeps the number of secondary entries of a given key was removed. This ended up causing some crashes later on when we tried to iterate over the elements of this given key. The crash could occur in multiple places, either when trying to retrieve an entry or to add some new ones. This crash was raised in GitHub issue #2950. The fix should be backported up to 3.0. |
