From 3dd5fc5316705eff45e344a16c01aee2a72ba4a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Liu Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2024 11:38:21 +0800 Subject: net/vhost-vdpa: Fix missing ERRP_GUARD() for error_prepend() As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires ERRP_GUARD(): * = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() = * * Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted: ... * - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or * error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal. * 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. ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1]. The net_init_vhost_vdpa() passes @errp to error_prepend(), and as a member of net_client_init_fun[], it's called in net_client_init1() and gets @errp from this caller. But because netdev_init_modern() passes &error_fatal to net_client_init1(), then @errp parameter of net_init_vhost_vdpa() would point to @error_fatal. This causes the error message in error_prepend() to be lost because of the above issue. To fix this, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the beginning of this function.
