The patch looks dirty. Pool reference is irrelevant to the ngx_buf_t structure in which you put it. Detecting the point where subrequest buffers are no longer needed is unreliable.

It would be enough to release proxy_buffers/proxy_buffer_size and output_buffers, but it's not clear how to do this properly. Other allocations are usually small and probably can be ignored.

PS: Patches are normally submitted via nginx-devel@… mailing list.
