Looking closer, my suggestion was wrong too.

I think QERR_OPEN_FILE_FAILED is simply the wrong error here.  We don't
know that the error occurred when trying to open a file.

errno does not necessarily contain the error value!

Right.

> errno does not necessarily contain the error value!

There are two ways to fix it (and they're not mutually exclusive):

 1. We could review all bdrv_reopen_prepare() methods and make sure they
    set errno on failure

 2. We set errno=0 before calling the bdrv_reopen_prepare() method and if
    there's an error and if errno != 0 we use it, otherwise we set a generic
    "failed to prepare to reopen image" error

Option 1 goes a bit beyond the time I'd like to spent on this series.
Option 2 is quite reasonable.

What do you think?

errno is definitely not reliable here and won't be. You must use -ret if
you want a meaningful error message.

I think Stefan's point was more that "Could not open" might not be the
right message for a reopen, so we'd have to use error_setg_errno()
directly with a different message here, like "Could not prepare reopen
for '%s'".

The _real_ solution, of course, is to make bdrv_prepare_reopen() a void
function and always set errp when something goes wrong.

Ok, but Stefan also said that -ret is not reliable. And after quickly
checking the code I see he's right, as there are methods that return -1.

I think the safest thing to do is to have a generic error message for
for this now and in the future we should propagate errp or return -errno.

Ah, yes. I agree, let's make it error_setg() without errno for now.
