[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vnc: fix a memory leak in threaded vnc server

[Corentin Chary]

VncJobQueue's buffer is intended to be used for
as the output buffer for all operations in this queue,
but unfortunatly.

vnc_async_encoding_start() is in charge of setting this
buffer as the current output buffer, but
vnc_async_encoding_end() was not writting the changes back
to VncJobQueue, resulting in a big and ugly memleak.

I believe this is a (slightly) better patch than Bruce's one, because
it reduce memory allocations by using always the same buffer.
