[PULL 26/31] hw/usb/hcd-ohci: skip automatic zero-init of large array
Posted by Stefan Hajnoczi 5 months ago
From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

The 'ohci_service_iso_td' method has a 8k byte array used for copying
data between guest and host. Skip the automatic zero-init of this
array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O hot path.

The 'buf' array will be fully initialized when reading data from guest
memory.
