[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] sheepdog: remove huge BSS object

Posted by Paolo Bonzini 5 years, 11 months ago

block/sheepdog.o has a 4M static variable that is 90% of QEMU's whole .bss
section.  Since it doesn't really have to be static, we can just use a
heap allocated block.  We can actually make it smaller too. :)

Patch 1 is a related cleanup since we're touching that area of the code.
