Don't get why we need this changes, could you explain more for it?
and it seem it's not exactly correct, see below.

one byte for each reading, it looks expensive

forget to release buf1.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/1] socket: Allocating Large sized arrays to heap

[Pooja Dhannawat]

net_socket_send has a huge stack usage of 69712 bytes approx.
Moving large arrays to heap to reduce stack usage.

You're allocating NET_BUFSIZE worth of uint8_t's

But only reading 1 byte which is clearly wrong. You likely wanted
NET_BUFSIZE here, not sizeof(uint8_t)

Sure, if you want to add a pointless 'multiply by 1' to the code,
which you didn't bother doing for the g_new call.

An expression of type "T[]" deteriorates to "T *" without a cast.
Therefore, your cast of buf1 to uint8_t * is redundant and clutters the
code, please drop it.

In general, try hard to avoid casts not just to reduce clutter, but also
because casts can hide mistakes from the type checker.

sizeof(uint8_t) is always one.  Multiplying by it clutters the code,
please drop it.
