CHANGELOG:
v2 -> v3:
* take the file existence check outside of module_load_file,
rename module_load_file to module_load_dso, will be called only on
an existing file. This will simplify the return value. (Richard)
v1 -> v2:
* do not treat the display help text any differently and do report
module load _errors_. If the module does not exist (ENOENT, ENOTDIR),
no error will be produced.
DESCRIPTION:
while investigating a permission issue in accel, where accel-tcg-x86_64.so
was not accessible, I noticed that no errors were produced regarding the
module load failure.
This series attempts to improve module_load_one and module_load_qom_one
to handle the error cases better and produce some errors.
Patch 1 is already reviewed and is about removing an unused existing
argument "mayfail" from the call stack.
Patch 2 is the real meat, and that one I would say is RFC.
Will follow up with comments on the specific questions I have.
Patch 3 finally adds a simple check in accel/, aborting if a module
is not found, but relying on the existing error report from
module_load_qom_one.
Claudio Fontana (3):
module: removed unused function argument "mayfail"
module: add Error arguments to module_load_one and module_load_qom_one
accel: abort if we fail to load the accelerator plugin
