Does the memory cache require a parent context for some reason (do you
manipulate with the parent within the cache)?
If not I think you should not take care whether is has a parent or not.
For what we know, it may be intentional by the caller. Otherwise you
should check if mem_ctx != NULL in init().
Looking into the init() function I found out that you are using wrong
context:
mc_ctx->name = talloc_strdup(mem_ctx, name);
if (!mc_ctx->name) {
ret = ENOMEM;
goto done;
}
It should say mc_ctx not mem_ctx.
