For the record, I completed a rework of mod_dav_svn that fixes a part
of the issue. Now, all writes within mod_dav_svn target the actual filter
list in r->output_filters, and this fixes one cause of the unbounded memory
usage:
https://svn.apache.org/r1758224
https://svn.apache.org/r1758207
https://svn.apache.org/r1758204
However, the second cause of the unbounded memory usage is still present
in mod_dav. This part of the issue is addressed by my patches from the
previous e-mail.
Does someone have the time and energy to review these two patches? Or
maybe there's something in these patches that requires improving?
Just in case, the patches are also available here:
