From ebf7bba090e617fd841177e6ea3de3a129c31a97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 19:59:25 +0300 Subject: qcow2: do not allocate extra memory There are no needs to allocate more than one cluster, as we set avail_out for deflate to one cluster. Zlib docs (http://www.zlib.net/manual.html) says: "deflate compresses as much data as possible, and stops when the input buffer becomes empty or the output buffer becomes full." So, deflate will not write more than avail_out to output buffer. If there is not enough space in output buffer for compressed data (it may be larger than input data) deflate just returns Z_OK. (if all data is compressed and written to output buffer deflate returns Z_STREAM_END).
