Sorry for being so late.
Thankfully, Volker has already reviewed these!

I have one more comment on the additional patch
fa4a81c86b6073b2563b090aa657d8e8b63c1276
"ctdb-vacuum: If talloc_realloc fails, terminate traverse"

Originally I thought that we should try to vacuum on
as much as possible even when an error occurs, but I
guess you are right in that malloc error should terminate
the whole vacuum effort (in this run).

But there is one omission:

There are two calls of traversing the delete_list for
marshalling: the first one only indirectly calls the
delete_marshall_traverse() callback via the wrapper
delete_marshall_traverse_first().

So I think also in the first traversal we should
"goto done" upon traverse error.

According patch is attached for review/push.

Cheers - Michael
