Subject: hw/char/xen_console: Fix missing ERRP_GUARD() for error_prepend()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a81424defeb1b59b8c5f7b40efb833a0867ca75;p=qemu.git

hw/char/xen_console: Fix missing ERRP_GUARD() for error_prepend()

As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():

* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
*   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is the pointer of
error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because
exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

The xen_console_connect() passes @errp to error_prepend() without
ERRP_GUARD().

There're 2 places will call xen_console_connect():
 - xen_console_realize(): the @errp is from DeviceClass.realize()'s
			  parameter.
 - xen_console_frontend_changed(): the @errp points its caller's
                                   @local_err.

To avoid the issue like [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the
beginning of xen_console_connect().

     ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
