[PATCH v2] hw/virtio/vdpa-dev: Check returned value instead of dereferencing @errp
Posted by Zhao Liu 1 month, 3 weeks ago
As the comment in qapi/error, dereferencing @errp requires
ERRP_GUARD():

* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
* - It must not be dereferenced, because it may be null.
...
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.
*
* Using it when it's not needed is safe, but please avoid cluttering
* the source with useless code.

Though vhost_vdpa_device_realize() is called at DeviceClass.realize()
context and won't get NULL @errp, it's still better to follow the
requirement to add the ERRP_GUARD().

But qemu_open() and vhost_vdpa_device_get_u32()'s return values can
distinguish between successful and unsuccessful calls, so check the
return values directly without dereferencing @errp, which eliminates
the need of ERRP_GUARD().

vdev_id is unsigned, no idea how is this supposed to work.

max_queue_size is unsigned, too.

Oops, yes. The correct way is to check whether vhost_vdpa_device_get_u32
returns "(uint32_t)-1".

I can add a new macro like this:

#define VDPA_DEVICE_U32_VALUE_NONE ((uint32_t)-1)

Is this okay with you?

Thanks,
Zhao
