There is a memory leak in `Workerpool` due to the intricacies of `time.Timer` stopping. Whenever a `time.Timer` is `Stop`ped its channel must be cleared using a `select` if the result of the `Stop()` is `false`. Unfortunately in `Workerpool` these were checked the wrong way round. However, there were a few other places that were not being checked. Signed-off-by: Andrew Thornton <[email protected]>

I suspect some of these drains might be able to go away to simplify things -- according to https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/golang/go/-/commit/ba3149612f62c011765876d7a437095fa50e0771 and some clarification on IRC, draining the channel isn't to prevent a leak within the channel but to attempt prevention of a false-positive on a consumer of the timer. So the two situations you'd actually be required to drain it are: 1.) If you're going to subsequently Reset() the timer, or I think the majority of these consumers fall into neither, as the timer's oftentimes only consumed by the single channel and not getting re-used. |
