By the end of this series,

Reading symbols from xen-syms...
(gdb) p sizeof(struct gzip_data)
$1 = 2120

x86 has an 8k stack and this takes 1/4 of it.  Other bits of state are
dynamically allocated, even in inflate.c, so I'd highly recommend doing
the same for this.


Also, could I nitpick the name and request:

struct gzip_state *s;

Except: Why "gzip" when it's un-zipping state?

Gzip is the name of the algo/suite for which the code is moved under,
and in typical fashion its structures are named after the feature they
belong. Still, I went and looked at the other algos. I found two that
have state tracking and yes, they do use the operation for the struct
name and not the algo/feature under which they reside. If you want this
yak shaved, I have no vested interest one way or another, I just need
the decompressor to be re-entrant.

Well. Generally speaking compressor and decompressor may need different
state to track. As we have seen with tmem, there may be reasons why a
compressor may also be needed in Xen. Hence unless it is known for sure
that either no need will ever appear for gzip, or gzip's compression
and decompression states are identical, I'd prefer the struct name to
reflect the specific purpose.
