Elio Maldonado Batiz 2014-08-28 22:13:35 UTC Doc Text Cause: The NSS did not check whether the NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE environment variable was set to trye before calling the sdb_measureAccess internal function.

Consequence: When using curl or libcurl, which depennds on nss, to make a HTTPS requests there were many "access" system calls to paths/directories/files that do not exist, and this bloated the dentry_cache.

Fix: NSS now avoids calls to sdb_measureAccess in lib/softoken/sdb.c s_open if NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE is "yes"

Result: The system calls to non-existent paths have gone down and curl HTTPS requests not longer cause bloats in in the directory entry cache.
