Is such overloaded semantics what we want in new interfaces?

Hmm, looks like there's ample precedence for it.  Escaped my grep at
first because its commonly documented as "The name or QOM path of the
guest device".  Suggest to stick to that for consistency.

Interesting, that in cases you mean, documentation seems wrong:
it goes through qmp_get_blk, which works like @id may be only QOM path, not name,
so for the it should be @id: The QOM path.

And I'm afraid that only my case merges both into one field. And it is more correct
to put QOM path in first place, as it is checked first, and if it fails, searches by
name. So, I think we should keep it as is, and fix other command documentation (but
not in these series, of course)

It's really a QOM path relative to /machine/peripheral (see
find_device_state()), which is where named devices live, accessible
through their id. So relative paths are both QOM paths and names of
guest devices. (Relative paths aren't a QOM concept, though, which
provides only absolute and partial paths. The relative paths have a
one-off implementation here.)

So in the end, I think the description is actually correct, just with a
higher level perspective, ignoring all the low-level details.

Hmm I thought, that name is an argument of blk_by_name() and path is an
argument of blk_by_qdev_id.. But you say that argument of blk_by_qdev_id
may be considered as "name" too, at least for user. If so, that is ok..

Consider more context:

   # @device: Block device name (deprecated, use @id instead)
   #
   # @id:     The name or QOM path of the guest device (since: 2.8)


so, "name" in first line and "name" in second are different kinds of name?

Why don't you use qmp_get_blk() here?

qmp_get_blk is used for cases when we have both @device and @id parameters, where @device is deprecated.

And one of previous iteration was a try to do it in this way (have both @id and @device). But it was
considered to be bad idea for a new command, which don't need any backward compatibility. And we decided
to merge two variants in @id.

So, do you suggest to drop blk_by_name() variant at all, and go through qmp_get_blk(NULL, id), which
will call blk_by_qdev_id() and fail if not found?

Ah, right I missed that you dropped @device and just noticed that this
looks different from other commands. Calling blk_by_qdev_id() directly
makes sense then.

Yes, we don't need the blk_by_name() path, it's only for the legacy
@device options.

In any case, you can't use the same option for blk_by_name() and
blk_by_qdev_id(). They are separate namespaces and the name could exist
in both of them. This is why the other commands have both @id and
@device instead of just a single option.
