It is a bit unfortunate to introduce a new dependency on the struct type.
What about the following ?
- struct kvm_get_htab_header *buf;
+ g_autofree struct kvm_get_htab_header *buf = NULL;
size_t chunksize = sizeof(*buf) + n_valid * HASH_PTE_SIZE_64;
ssize_t rc;
- buf = alloca(chunksize);
+ buf = g_malloc(chunksize);
g_autofree struct kvm_get_htab_header *buf = NULL;
size_t chunksize = sizeof(*buf) + n_valid * HASH_PTE_SIZE_64;
