The internal memory allocation and history object counters of the
reputation code can be used to verify the correctness of (part of) the
code. Using these counters revealed an issue where the memory allocation
counter is not decreased when the bandwidth arrays are freed.
A new function ensures the memory allocation counter is decreased when a
bandwidth array is freed.
This commit also removes an unnecessary cast which was found while
working on the code.
* Since the variable is no longer modified, it should be called
'policy' instead of 'dest'. ("Dest" is short for
"destination".)
* Fixed the space issue that dgoulet found on the ticket.
* Fixed the comment a little. (We use the imperative for function
documentation.)
Some functions that use digest maps did not mention that the digests are
expected to have DIGEST_LEN bytes. This lead to buffer over-reads in the
past.
The hidden service descriptor cache (rendcache) tests use digest maps
which expect keys to have a length of DIGEST_LEN.
Because the tests use key strings with a length lower than DIGEST_LEN,
the internal copy operation reads outside the key strings which leads to
buffer over-reads.
The issue is resolved by using character arrays with a size of
DIGEST_LEN.
Patch on ade5005853.
The tests pass empty digest strings to the dir_server_new function which
copies it into a directory server structure. The copy operation expects
the digest strings to be DIGEST_LEN characters long.
Because the length of the empty digest strings are lower than
DIGEST_LEN, the copy operation reads outside the digest strings which
leads to buffer over-reads.
The issue is resolved by using character arrays with a size of
DIGEST_LEN.

There was a dead check when we made sure that an array member of a
struct was non-NULL. Tor has been doing this check since at least
0.2.3, maybe earlier.
Fixes bug 17781.
Previously we'd suppressed the mask-bits field in the output when
formatting a policy if it was >=32. But that should be a >=128 if
we're talking about IPv6.
Since we didn't put these in descriptors, this bug affects only log
messages and controller outputs.
Fix for bug 16056. The code in question was new in 0.2.0, but the
bug was introduced in 0.2.4 when we started supporting IPv6 exits.
