Subject: [PATCH] hw/net/rtl8139: skip automatic zero-init of large array
 | 
						|
MIME-Version: 1.0
 | 
						|
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The 'rtl8139_transmit_one' 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 'txbuffer' will be fully initialized when reading PCI DMA
 | 
						|
buffers.
