async: aio_context_new(): Handle event_notifier_init failure
On a system with a low limit of open files the initialization of the event notifier could fail and QEMU exits without printing any error information to the user. The problem can be easily reproduced by enforcing a low limit of open files and start QEMU with enough I/O threads to hit this limit. The same problem raises, without the creation of I/O threads, while QEMU initializes the main event loop by enforcing an even lower limit of open files. This commit adds an error message on failure: # qemu [...] -object iothread,id=iothread0 -object iothread,id=iothread1 qemu: Failed to initialize event notifier: Too many open files in system Signed-off-by: Chrysostomos Nanakos <cnanakos@grnet.gr> Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
