Subject: [PATCH] gsocketclient: Fix still-reachable references to cancellables
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`GSocketClient` chains its internal `GCancellable` objects to ones
provided by the caller in two places using `g_cancellable_connect()`.
However, it never calls `g_cancellable_disconnect()`, instead relying
(incorrectly) on the `GCancellable` provided by the caller being
short-lived.

In the (valid) situation where a caller reuses one `GCancellable` for
multiple socket client calls, or for calls across multiple socket
clients, this will cause the internal `GCancellable` objects from those
`GSocketClient`s to accumulate, with one reference left each (which is
the reference from the `g_cancellable_connect()` closure).

These `GCancellable` instances aren't technically leaked, as they will
all be freed when the caller's `GCancellable` is disposed, but they are
no longer useful and there is no bound on the number of them which will
hang around.

For a program doing a lot of socket operations, this still-reachable
memory usage can become significant.

Fix the problem by adding paired `g_cancellable_disconnect()` calls.
It's not possible to add a unit test as we can't measure still-reachable
memory growth before the end of a unit test when everything has to be
freed.
