From 75a9d946d252ce70460144615ca17dbdf2e80fab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 354/355] core: fix memory pool management races
Objects allocated from a per-thread memory pool keep a reference to it
to be able to return the object to the pool when not used anymore. The
object holding this reference can have a long life cycle that could
survive a glfs_fini() call.
This means that it's unsafe to destroy memory pools from glfs_fini().
Another side effect of destroying memory pools from glfs_fini() is that
the TLS variable that points to one of those pools cannot be reset for
all alive threads. This means that any attempt to allocate memory from
those threads will access already free'd memory, which is very
dangerous.
To fix these issues, mem_pools_fini() doesn't destroy pool lists
anymore. Only at process termination the pools are destroyed.
