cache: fix race condition
Example: a cached node is owned only by the cache (refcount == 1).
Thread A holds the lock and determines that the entry which should get
cached equals the node (git_oid_cmp(&node->oid, &entry->oid) == 0).
It frees the given entry to instead return the cached node to the user
(entry = node). Now, before Thread A happens to increment the refcount
of the node *outside* the cache lock, Thread B tries to store another
entry and hits the slot of the node before, decrements its refcount and
frees it *before* Thread A gets a chance to increment for the user.
git_cached_obj_incref(entry);
git_mutex_lock(&cache->lock);
{
git_cached_obj *node = cache->nodes[hash & cache->size_mask];
if (node == NULL) {
cache->nodes[hash & cache->size_mask] = entry;
} else if (git_oid_cmp(&node->oid, &entry->oid) == 0) {
git_cached_obj_decref(entry, cache->free_obj);
entry = node;
} else {
git_cached_obj_decref(node, cache->free_obj);
// Thread B is here
cache->nodes[hash & cache->size_mask] = entry;
}
}
git_mutex_unlock(&cache->lock);
// Thread A is here
/* increase the refcount again, because we are
* returning it to the user */
git_cached_obj_incref(entry);
