[PATCH] hw/pci: Fix crash when running QEMU with "-nic model=rocker"
Posted by Thomas Huth 5 years, 5 months ago 
QEMU currently aborts when being started with "-nic model=rocker" or with
"-net nic,model=rocker". This happens because the "rocker" device is not
a normal NIC but a switch, which has different properties. Thus we should
only consider real NIC devices for "-nic" and "-net". These devices can
be identified by the "netdev" property, so check for this property before
adding the device to the list.

Reported-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>
Fixes: 52310c3fa7dc854d ("net: allow using any PCI NICs in -net or -nic")
Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

Not really trivial, I will not pick up this patch via trivial-branch,
unless PCI maintainers request it.
