I think this one is fine. I see you moved the callsite to free this
thing from entry.c down to streaming (stream_blob_to_fd()), which
means you would need to adjust the title of the change, too.
It somewhat feels dirty that we free what the caller gave us, but
given that closing a filtered stream frees the filter at the end,
I think this is the right place to discard the filter. In essence,
the overall use of the API in this code is equivalent to
filter = ... prepare a filter ...
if (open_istream(... filter) == OK) {
... use filter ...
close_istream(); /* which frees the filter */
} else {
/* we failed to free filter here without the patch */
free_stream_filter(filter);
}
so the patch makes sense.
We may want to teach free_stream_filter() that a request to free a
NULL filter is OK, though. That would be a separate clean-up topic.
