Subject: [PATCH 4/7] wt-status: use strbuf_read_cmd
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2015 06:08:29 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150322100829.GD11615@peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150322095924.GA24651@peff.net>

When we spawn "git submodule status" to read its output, we
use run_command() followed by a strbuf_read() from a pipe.
This can deadlock if the subprocess output is larger than
the system pipe buffer.

Furthermore, if start_command() fails, we'll try to read
from a bogus descriptor (probably "-1" or a descriptor we
just closed, but it is a bad idea for us to make assumptions
about how start_command implements its error handling). And
if start_command succeeds, we leak the file descriptor for
the pipe to the child.

All of these can be solved by using the strbuf_read_cmd
helper.
