John Plevyak commented on TS-170:
---------------------------------
This does fix the crash, but it doesn't prevent the HostDB Heap from filling.
One solution for that would be to have another water mark at say 90% where
you run through and decimate (delete 1 in 10) hostdb entries which use heap
space at the start of HeapGC.
This would prevent the Heap from overfilling and returning a failure back to
the HTTP state machine which could result in a page not getting returned.
However, this patch + a much larger hostdb size will probably prevent that
in most real world situations.

> In HostDBContinuation::lookup_done() if we can't allocate memory in the cache
> we will free some space (delete_block())
> and then return a NULL. Also, the error message "out of room in hostdb for
> reverse DNS data" gets printed
> out.
> This NULL pointer will be dereferenced later when we call reply_to_cont().
