Subject: Make xmalloc and xrealloc thread-safe
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.2-rc0~81^2~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9a746364bd26d333c7229c6f7e851b507cd284a;p=git.git

Make xmalloc and xrealloc thread-safe

By providing a hook for the routine responsible for trying to free some
memory on malloc failure, we can ensure that the  called routine is
protected by the appropriate locks when threads are in play.

The obvious offender here was pack-objects which was calling xmalloc()
within threads while release_pack_memory() is not thread safe.
