From 25f8dd96598042a88fdd970d5531584b589b10e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 10:04:07 +0100 Subject: qdev: Don't exit when running into bad -global -global lets you set a nice booby-trap for yourself: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none -usb -monitor stdio -global usb-mouse.usb_version=l QEMU 2.1.94 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) device_add usb-mouse Parameter 'usb_version' expects an int64 value or range $ echo $? 1 Not nice. Until commit 3196270 we even abort()ed. The same error triggers if you manage to screw up a machine type's compat_props. To demonstrate, change HW_COMPAT_2_1's entry to .driver = "usb-mouse",\ .property = "usb_version",\ .value = "1", \ Then run $ qemu-system-x86_64 -usb -M pc-i440fx-2.1 -device usb-mouse upstream-qemu: -device usb-mouse: Parameter 'usb_version' expects an int64 value or range $ echo $? 1 One of our creatively cruel error messages. Since this is actually a coding error, we *should* abort() here. Replace the error by an assertion failure in this case. But turn the fatal error into a mere warning when the faulty GlobalProperty comes from the user. Looks like this: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none -usb -monitor stdio -global usb-mouse.usb_version=l QEMU 2.1.94 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) device_add usb-mouse Warning: global usb-mouse.usb_version=l ignored (Parameter 'usb_version' expects an int64 value or range) (qemu) This is consistent with how we handle similarly unusable -global in qdev_prop_check_globals(). You could argue that the error should make device_add fail. Would be harder, because we're running within TypeInfo's instance_post_init() method device_post_init(), which can't fail.
