[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 09/10] vmdk: use heap allocation for whole_grain

[Fam Zheng]

We should never grow the stack beyond 1 MB, otherwise we'll fall off the
end.  Thread stacks and coroutine stacks (1 MB) do not grow.
get_cluster_offset() allocates a big stack offset, it will fail for big
cluster images, change to heap allocated buffer.
