[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qcow2: allocate cluster_cache/cluster_data on deman


From: Stefan Hajnoczi
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qcow2: allocate cluster_cache/cluster_data on demand
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:31:18 +0100

Most qcow2 files are uncompressed so it is wasteful to allocate (32 + 1)
* cluster_size + 512 bytes upfront.  Allocate s->cluster_cache and
s->cluster_data when the first read operation is performance on a
compressed cluster.

The buffers are freed in .bdrv_close().  .bdrv_open() no longer has any
code paths that can allocate these buffers, so remove the free functions
in the error code path.

Alexey: Does this improve your memory profiling results?
