[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] nbd: support large NBD requests

[Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>]

These patches switch from fixed-size 1 MB data buffers to dynamically sized
buffers in NBD.  This is necessary because the Linux nbd driver now allows up
to 32 MB request size.

Patch 1 gets rid of the request freelist, which becomes pointless when data
buffers are no longer reused.

Patch 2 dynamically sizes the data buffer.

Stefan Hajnoczi (2):
  nbd: use g_slice_new() instead of a freelist
  nbd: support large NBD requests
