bgpd: Ensure community data is freed in some cases.
Customer has this valgrind trace: Direct leak of 2829120 byte(s) in 70728 object(s) allocated from: 0 in community_new ../bgpd/bgp_community.c:39 1 in community_uniq_sort ../bgpd/bgp_community.c:170 2 in route_set_community ../bgpd/bgp_routemap.c:2342 3 in route_map_apply_ext ../lib/routemap.c:2673 4 in subgroup_announce_check ../bgpd/bgp_route.c:2367 5 in subgroup_process_announce_selected ../bgpd/bgp_route.c:2914 6 in group_announce_route_walkcb ../bgpd/bgp_updgrp_adv.c:199 7 in hash_walk ../lib/hash.c:285 8 in update_group_af_walk ../bgpd/bgp_updgrp.c:2061 9 in group_announce_route ../bgpd/bgp_updgrp_adv.c:1059 10 in bgp_process_main_one ../bgpd/bgp_route.c:3221 11 in bgp_process_wq ../bgpd/bgp_route.c:3221 12 in work_queue_run ../lib/workqueue.c:282 The above leak detected by valgrind was from a screenshot so I copied it by hand. Any mistakes in line numbers are purely from my transcription. Additionally this is against a slightly modified 8.5.1 version of FRR. Code inspection of 8.5.1 -vs- latest master shows the same problem exists. Code should be able to be followed from there to here. What is happening: There is a route-map being applied that modifes the outgoing community to a peer. This is saved in the attr copy created in subgroup_process_announce_selected. This community pointer is not interned. So the community->refcount is still 0. Normally when a prefix is announced, the attr and the prefix are placed on a adjency out structure where the attribute is interned. This will cause the community to be saved in the community hash list as well. In a non-normal operation when the decision to send is aborted after the route-map application, the attribute is just dropped and the pointer to the community is just dropped too, leading to situations where the memory is leaked. The usage of bgp suppress-fib would would be a case where the community is caused to be leaked. Additionally the previous commit where an unsuppress-map is used to modify the outgoing attribute but since unsuppress-map was not considered part of outgoing policy the attribute would be dropped as well. This pointer drop also extends to any dynamically allocated memory saved by the attribute pointer that was not interned yet as well. So let's modify the return case where the decision is made to not send the prefix to the peer to always just flush the attribute to ensure memory is not leaked.
