In rte_realloc, if the old element has pad and need to allocate a new
memory, the padding size was not deducted, so more data was copied to
new data area.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")

When resize a memory with next element, the original element size grows.
If the orginal element has padding, the real inner element size didn't
grow as well and this causes trailer verification failure when malloc
debug enabled.

I did not see this when running the malloc_autotest with debug enabled.
What is missing for me to catch it?


Just a bit chilly to apply this series.
The first patch seems an optimisation.
The second one seems more interesting if we fix the debug mode, but I
suppose we can live without them in 19.11.

Yes, it happens rarely, depends on memory fragment. I only caught this in middle of a long test.

Few people enable memory debug option, they are there for years.

Had a discussion offlist with Anatoly.
Those two issues are hard to catch but the fixes are relevant and
Anatoly is confident.
I will take this in rc3.

Series applied, thanks.

To test them, i had to modify malloc to always create padded elements :)

I fix another issue in element join, as I made some local enhancement patch on memory, it's required, not sure whether it help on public code.

This looks like a good change as well - while we /mostly/ join elements 
when they're free, there is one case where we can join a free element 
with one already occupied - and /that/ element could be padded, which we 
currently don't update. So, this patch would help the public code as well.
