Does a deflateEnd need to be called here?

I'd like to understand more aobut the failure path - lets say we exit
through one of those return -1's, p->data is still set to point to z
which is now been free'd.  Will zlib_send_cleanup get called?
Maybe it's safer to move the 'p->data = z' to right at the bottom before
the return 0 ?

As previously asked above, could this ever get called if zlib_send_setup
has failed? If so does this need to check for !z ?

Odd double space formatting there.

inflateEnd and similar question to save?

Patch 9 added 'none' and documented it; it looks odd if 'zlib' is not 
documented.

Shouldnt matter, but I think that yes.

Just did that. Good catch.

No.
if multifd_zlib_setup() returns != 0, then multifd_save_setup() returns
!= 0, and then we just signal an error and then we cancel migration in
multifd_fd_connect.

So, if z is NULL, we are already in big trouble.

Because we never had fails O:-)
(If it is not, we have a corrupted stream or something has gone very
wrong).

You win.  I think that the correct value is:

uint32_t out_size = zs->total_out;
...

out_size += zs->total_out - out_size;

As a bonus, we can do that outside of the loop.

Thanks, Juan.
