Device types will be able to opt out from optional compat properties by simply not registering those properties, or by making the property setter report an error. Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost --- Note: the "An error is fatal for non-hotplugged devices [...]" comment that appears in the diff scope is inaccurate, but I will fix that in a separate patch because I don't want this to get into the way of fixing the crash. --- include/hw/qdev-core.h | 3 +++ qom/object.c | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/hw/qdev-core.h b/include/hw/qdev-core.h index bc014c1c9f..463e1ddb1e 100644 --- a/include/hw/qdev-core.h +++ b/include/hw/qdev-core.h @@ -250,6 +250,8 @@ struct PropertyInfo { /** * GlobalProperty: * @used: Set to true if property was used when initializing a device. + * @optional: If set to true, errors when applying the property won't be + * reported by object_apply_global_props(). * * An error is fatal for non-hotplugged devices, when the global is applie= d. */ @@ -258,6 +260,7 @@ typedef struct GlobalProperty { const char *property; const char *value; bool used; + bool optional; } GlobalProperty; =20 static inline void diff --git a/qom/object.c b/qom/object.c index 4e5226ca12..226ddf0189 100644 --- a/qom/object.c +++ b/qom/object.c @@ -387,7 +387,9 @@ void object_apply_global_props(Object *obj, const GPtrA= rray *props, Error **errp } p->used =3D true; object_property_parse(obj, p->value, p->property, &err); - if (err !=3D NULL) { + if (p->optional) { + error_free(err); + } else if (err !=3D NULL) { error_prepend(&err, "can't apply global %s.%s=3D%s: ", p->driver, p->property, p->value); /* --=20 2.18.0.rc1.1.g3f1ff2140
