dns_transaction_maybe_restart() is supposed to return 1 if the the transaction has been restarted and 0 otherwise. dns_transaction_process_dnssec() relies on this behaviour. Before this change in case of restart we'd call dns_transaction_go() when restarting the lookup, returning its return value unmodified. This is wrong however, as that function returns 1 if the transaction is pending, and 0 if it completed immediately, which is a very different set of return values. Fix this, by always returning 1 on redirection. The wrong return value resulted in all kinds of bad memory accesses as we might continue processing a transaction that was redirected and completed immediately (and thus freed). This patch also adds comments to the two functions to clarify the return values for the future. Most likely fixes: #2942 #3475 #3484
