Convert to error_report().  This adds error locations to the messages,
which is particularly important when the location is buried in a
configuration file.  Moreover, we'll need this when we create a
monitor command to add character devices, so its errors actually
appear in the monitor, not stderr.

Also clean up the messages, and get rid of some that look like errors,
but aren't.

Improves user-hostile messages like this one for "-chardev
socket,id=foo,host=blackfin,port=1,server"

    inet_listen_opts: bind(ipv4,192.168.2.9,1): Permission denied
    chardev: opening backend "socket" failed

to

    qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev socket,id=foo,host=blackfin,port=1,server: Can't bind port blackfin:1: Permission denied
    chardev: opening backend "socket" failed

and this one for "-chardev udp,id=foo,localport=1,port=1"

    inet_dgram_opts: bind(ipv4,0.0.0.0,1): OK
    inet_dgram_opts failed
    chardev: opening backend "udp" failed

to

    qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev udp,id=foo,localport=1,port=1: Can't bind port :1: Permission denied
    chardev: opening backend "udp" failed

You got to love the "OK" part.

The uninformative extra "opening backend failed" message will be
cleaned up shortly.

Let's add an Error ** argument here.

It's easy to bridge errors to error_report (qerror_report_err) so it's conducive 
to incremental refactoring.  Plus it starts getting us away from terminal errors 
and into proper erroro propagation.

Basically, same thing here and the remaining functions.  Let's not introduce 
additional uses of error_report().

That said, I imagine you don't want to introduce a bunch of error types for 
these different things and that's probably not productive anyway.

So let's compromise and introduce a generic QERR_INTERNAL_ERROR that takes a 
single human readable string as an argument.  We can have a wrapper for it that 
also records location information in the error object.

You're imagining correctly.  I've learned the hard way that replacing
nicely crafted error messages by error types frequently degrades the
error messages, which first makes me sad, and then makes me surf the web
rather than work.

You'd need somebody with a higher tolerance for bad error messages, or a
lower propensity to indulge in wasting time rather than deliver shoddy
work ;)

This series goes from stderr to error_report().  That's a relatively
simple step, which makes it relatively easy to review.  I'm afraid
moving all the way to error.h in one step wouldn't be as easy.  Kevin
suggests to do it in a follow-up series, and I agree.

Can you point to an existing conversion from error_report() to error.h,
to give us an idea how it's supposed to be done?

The trouble I have is not about doing things incrementally, but rather touching 
a lot of code incrementally.  Most of the code you touch could be done 
incrementally with error_set().

For instance, you could touch inet_listen_opts() and just add an Error ** as the 
last argument.  You can change all callers to simply do:

Error *err = NULL;

...
inet_listen_opts(..., &err);
if (err) {
    error_report_err(err);
    return -1;
}

And it's not really all that different from the series as it stands today.  I 
agree that aggressively refactoring error propagation is probably not necessary 
as a first step, but if we're going to touch a lot of code, we should do it in a 
way that we don't have to immediately touch it again next.

Sorry, I mentally responded bug neglected to actually respond.

All of the QMP work that Luiz is doing effectively does this so there are ample 
examples right now.  The change command is probably a good place to start.

Well, the series adds 47 calls of error_report() to five files out of
1850.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm out of time on this one, so if you're unwilling to
accept this admittedly incremental improvement without substantial
rework, I'll have to let it rot in peace.

We might want a QMP commands to add character devices some day.  Perhaps
the person doing it will still be able to find these patches, and get
some use out of them.

Patches 01-08,14 don't add error_report() calls.  What about committing
them?  The commit messages would need to be reworded not to promise
goodies from the other patches, though.

I'm sorry to hear that you can't continue working on this.

I'll focus on applying the patches you mentioned.

While I admit that it seems counter intuitive to not want to improve error 
messages (and I fully admit, that this is an improvement), I'm more concerned 
that this digs us deeper into the qerror_report/error_report hole that we're 
trying to dig our way out of.

If you want to add chardevs dynamically, then I assume your next patch would be 
switching error_report to qerror_report such that the errors appeared in the 
monitor.  But this is wrong.  New QMP functions are not allowed to use 
qerror_report anymore.  So all of this code would need to get changed again anyway.

We can't have async commands until qerror_report is removed from all existing 
monitor commands.  We can't plumb guest agent commands without async commands 
not to mention that many commands are more naturally expressed as async commands 
anyway.

Anthony Liguori

Can't be helped.

Suggest to reword the commit messages not to promise the parts you don't
apply.

Not a priority at this time, I'm afraid.  If it becomes one, I might be
able to work on it.

No, the next step for errors would be error_report() -> error_set(),
precisely because qerror_report() can't be used anymore.

Yes, that means the five files that report chardev open errors will need
to be touched again.  But that'll be a bog-standard error_report() ->
error_set() conversion.  Easier to code, test and review than combined
"track down all the error paths that fail to report errors, or report
non-sensical errors" + "convert from fprintf() to error_set() in one
go".

In my opinion, the "have to touch five files again" developer burden
compares quite favorably with "have to check all the error paths again"
developer burden.  And in any case it's dwarved by the "have to use a
debugger to find out what's wrong" user burden.
