[vlc-devel] [PATCH] prefetch: remove read size, always request maximum

[Thomas Guillem]

I'm afraid this commit is quite dangerous.

I'm working on the libsmb2 access now and got this error with this prefetch commit:

[00007f54d4000d90] smb2 access error: smb2_read_async failed: Read count 16777216 larger than max_read_size 8388608

It's OK, I can fix this particular access, but what about other modules ?

Should all accesses handle such huge read sizes ? It can be set to 1GB from settings. A lot of access plugins will just do a malloc of 1GB then...
