memory free on nginx reload

[Donatas Abraitis]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to change behavior of one of the modules like ModSecurity. It
doesn't free memory after reload, only after restart.

static void ngx_http_modsecurity_terminate(ngx_cycle_t *cycle);

    ngx_http_modsecurity_terminate, /* exit process */
    ngx_http_modsecurity_terminate, /* exit master */

static void ngx_http_modsecurity_terminate(ngx_cycle_t *cycle)
{
    if (modsec_server) {
        modsecTerminate();
        modsec_server = NULL;
    }
}

Backtrace is quite good, but I don't understand why it repeats two times
(it's after nginx's reload):

Any help would be appreciated! Or just any hints as well!
