In virNetServerProgramDispatchCall, The arg is passed as a void* and
used to point
to a certain struct depended on the dispatcher, so I think it's the
memory of the
struct's member that leaks and this memory shuld be freed by xdr_free.
In virNetServerClientNew, client->rx is assigned by invoking
virNetServerClientNew,
but isn't freed if client->privateData's initialization failed, which
leads to a
memory leak. Thanks to Liang Peng's suggestion, put
virNetMessageFree(client->rx)
into virNetServerClientDispose() to release the memory.

Yeah, this one is a genuine memleak. IIUC it can be reproduced by:
client = virNetServerClientNew(...);
virObjectUnref(client);

But here I believe we also need to free dispatcher->ret_filter:
xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter, ret);
Hi Michal,
I'm not sure why we need to free ret here. IIRC, xdr_free is to free
memory pointed by *ret instead of ret. For example, if ret is pointing
to a struct which contains a string, like:
struct Test {
char *str;
}
then I think xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter, ret) will free str instead
of struct Test itself. So I think we will only need to call
xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter, ret) after we call
(dispatcher->func)(server, client, msg, &rerr, arg, ret).
Oh, you're right. We need to call it only after dispatcher->func() was
called. That is when call to virIdentitySetCurrent(NULL) fails. Because
at that point dispatcher->func() already populated ret.
But there are some `goto error` before virIdentitySetCurrent(NULL) fails
originally, e.g.,

[4]
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/blob/master/src/rpc/virnetserverprogram.c#L416
Since dispatcher is allocated already, xdr_free(dispatcher->ret_filter,
ret) will be called if we goto error from those scenarios after applying
Patch v3
(https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2022-September/234558.html).
Will this cause invalid memory access?
Thanks,
Peng
