Re-read the leaf element when atomic CAS fails due to a race with
another thread that has locked the leaf element, since
atomic_compare_exchange_strong_p() overwrites the expected value with
the actual value on failure. This regression was introduced by
0ee0e0c155 (Implement compact rtree leaf
element representation.).
This resolves #798.
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications.
