This makes difficult for the caller to know what happened and only a generic error message is propagated back to the user. This is an example using dump-guest-memory: (qemu) dump-guest-memory /home/yasmin/mnt/test.dump dump: failed to save memory All callers of fd_write_vmcore of dump.c does error handling via error_setg(), so at first it seems feasible to add the Error pointer as an argument of fd_write_vmcore. This proved to be more complex than it first looked. fd_write_vmcore is used by write_elf64_notes and write_elf32_notes as a WriteCoreDumpFunction prototype. WriteCoreDumpFuncti= on is declared in include/qom/cpu.h and is used all around the code. This leaves us with few alternatives: - change the WriteCoreDumpFunction prototype to include an error pointer. This would require to change all functions that implements this prototype to also receive an Error pointer; - change both write_elf64_notes and write_elf32_notes to no use the WriteCoreDumpFunction. These functions use not only fd_write_vmcore but also buf_write_note, so this would require to change buf_write_note to handle an Error pointer. Considerable easier than the alternative above, but it's still a lot of code just for the benefit of the callers of fd_write_vmcore. This patch presents an easier solution that benefits all fd_write_vmcore callers: - instead of returning -1 on error, return -errno. All existing callers already checks for ret < 0 so there is no need to change the caller's logic too much. This also allows the retrieval of the errno. - all callers were updated to use error_setg_errno instead of just errno_setg. Now that fd_write_vmcore can return an errno, let's update all callers so they can benefit from a more detailed error message. This is the same dump-guest-memory example with this patch applied: (qemu) dump-guest-memory /home/yasmin/mnt/test.dump dump: failed to save memory: No space left on device (qemu) This example illustrates an error of fd_write_vmcore when called from write_data. All other callers will benefit from better error messages as well.
