    "content": "From: \"Dr. David Alan Gilbert\" <dgilbert@redhat.com>\n\nAt the moment the pre-save method on VMStateDescription returns void\nwhich means there's no sane way of a pre_save routine failing.  There\nare quite a few pre_save's that abort or do other nasty things, and it\nwould be better if they could fail cleanly.\n\nThis patch series doesn't fix any of those pre_save's - it just changes\npre_save to return an error value and routes that back up so the\nmigration fails.  I'll leave that up to the individual device owners.\n\nThere are a bunch of corner cases that I've not fixed yet;  these are\nmostly places that call vmstate_save_state which have been partially\nconverted to modern migration code;  often the functions they're called\nfrom return void as well - they can get fixed later.\n\nSigned-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com>\n\nDr. David Alan Gilbert (5):\n  migration: pre_save return int\n  migration: check pre_save return in vmstate_save_state\n  migration: wire vmstate_save_state errors up to\n    vmstate_subsection_save\n  migration: Route errors up through vmstate_save\n  migration: Route more error paths\n\n docs/devel/migration.txt       |  2 +-\n hw/arm/pxa2xx.c                |  4 +++-\n hw/arm/strongarm.c             |  4 +++-\n hw/audio/wm8750.c              |  4 +++-\n hw/block/fdc.c                 |  4 +++-\n hw/block/m25p80.c              |  4 +++-\n hw/block/nand.c                |  4 +++-\n hw/block/onenand.c             |  4 +++-\n hw/char/serial.c               |  4 +++-\n hw/display/qxl.c               |  4 +++-\n hw/display/virtio-gpu.c        |  4 +---\n hw/i2c/core.c                  |  4 +++-\n hw/i386/kvm/clock.c            |  4 +++-\n hw/ide/core.c                  |  4 +++-\n hw/ide/pci.c                   |  4 +++-\n hw/input/ps2.c                 |  8 ++++++--\n hw/input/tsc210x.c             |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/apic_common.c          |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/arm_gic_common.c       |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/arm_gicv3_common.c     |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/arm_gicv3_its_common.c |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/i8259_common.c         |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/ioapic_common.c        |  4 +++-\n hw/intc/s390_flic_kvm.c        |  6 ++++--\n hw/intc/xics.c                 |  8 ++++++--\n hw/net/e1000.c                 |  4 +++-\n hw/net/e1000e.c                |  4 +++-\n hw/net/rtl8139.c               |  4 +++-\n hw/net/virtio-net.c            | 16 ++++++++++++----\n hw/net/vmxnet3.c               |  4 +++-\n hw/pci-host/piix.c             |  4 +++-\n hw/ppc/ppc.c                   |  4 +++-\n hw/ppc/spapr_iommu.c           |  4 +++-\n hw/ppc/spapr_pci.c             |  6 ++++--\n hw/s390x/css.c                 | 10 +++++++---\n hw/s390x/virtio-ccw.c          |  4 +++-\n hw/scsi/lsi53c895a.c           |  4 +++-\n hw/scsi/vmw_pvscsi.c           |  4 +++-\n hw/timer/cadence_ttc.c         |  4 +++-\n hw/timer/hpet.c                |  4 +++-\n hw/timer/i8254_common.c        |  4 +++-\n hw/timer/mc146818rtc.c         |  4 +++-\n hw/timer/pl031.c               |  4 +++-\n hw/timer/twl92230.c            |  4 +++-\n hw/usb/dev-smartcard-reader.c  |  4 +++-\n hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c              |  4 +++-\n hw/usb/redirect.c              |  4 +++-\n hw/virtio/vhost-vsock.c        |  4 +++-\n hw/virtio/virtio.c             | 13 +++++++------\n include/hw/virtio/virtio.h     |  2 +-\n include/migration/vmstate.h    |  6 +++---\n migration/colo-comm.c          |  4 +++-\n migration/global_state.c       |  4 +++-\n migration/savevm.c             | 23 +++++++++++++++++------\n migration/trace-events         |  1 +\n migration/vmstate-types.c      | 11 ++++++++---\n migration/vmstate.c            | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------\n replay/replay-snapshot.c       |  4 +++-\n slirp/slirp.c                  |  8 ++++++--\n target/arm/machine.c           |  4 +++-\n target/i386/machine.c          |  7 +++++--\n target/ppc/machine.c           |  4 +++-\n target/s390x/machine.c         |  4 +++-\n target/sparc/machine.c         |  4 +++-\n tests/test-vmstate.c           | 10 ++++++----\n 65 files changed, 261 insertions(+), 102 deletions(-)"
