[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vpc: Remove useless parameters in get_sector_offset()
Posted by Kevin Wolf 6 years, 9 months ago
All callers of get_sector_offset() pass write=false and err=NULL. Remove
the parameters.

Just to copy my remark over from the other thread:
this turns a function that could be used for writes into a function
that doesn't look like it cares whether it's used for reads or
writes but which will actually silently cause disk image
corruption if you do ever use it in a write codepath. That's
a bit of a bear trap as API design goes, which is why I opted
to add the 'err' argument to get_image_offset() rather than
just removing the 'write' argument.

Not sure if this is a problem in practice, but I'll leave it alone for
now. Once all of Eric's patches are in and make .bdrv_get_block_status
byte-based, the function should just go away anyway.
