Fix: relayd: ressource leaks on viewer_stream_create error
Observed issue
==============
When facing failure to open viewer stream chunks in the context of "Fix:
relayd: failure to open chunk files concurrently with session clear",
we observe that the relay daemon triggers an assertion due to a
non-empty session hash table on cleanup.
Cause
=====
viewer_stream_create() does a stream_get(), but without any matching
stream_put() on error. This in turn holds a reference on the ctf_trace,
which holds a reference on the session.
By inspecting the code, we notice that the following ressources can be
leaked on error:
- vstream->stream_file.handle,
- vstream->index_file,
- vstream->stream.
In non-error scenarios, viewer_stream_release() is responsible for
releasing references on the composite objects.
The vstream->stream_file.trace_chunk is not an issue because it is put
in the destroy handler (as well as within the release, before having its
vstream->stream_file.trace_chunk pointer set to NULL).
Solution
========
Properly put references on all objects which are contained by the viewer
stream on error by introducing
viewer_stream_release_composite_objects(), which is used both in the
error path of viewer_stream_create() and in viewer_stream_release().
Note
====
Why not move those "put" operations in viewer_stream_destroy ?
This is done in the release to ensure we put references on composite
objects immediately when our own reference reaches 0, rather than
waiting for a grace period through call_rcu, which could then cause
chained call_rcu callbacks and require multiple invocation of
rcu_barrier on relayd exit to guarantee that all callbacks have been
executed and all ressources properly freed.
Known drawbacks
===============
None.
