Commit Message

Priyankar Jain Nov. 26, 2021, 6:28 a.m. UTC
The purpose of dbus_get_proxies to construct the proxies corresponding to the
IDs registered to dbus-vmstate.

Currenty, this function returns an error in case there is any failure
while instantiating proxy for "all" the names on dbus.

Ideally this function should error out only if it is not able to find and
validate the proxies registered to the backend otherwise any offending
process(for eg: the process purposefully may not export its Id property on
the dbus) may connect to the dbus and can lead to migration failures.

This commit ensures that dbus_get_proxies returns an error if it is not
able to find and validate the proxies of interest(the IDs registered
during the dbus-vmstate instantiation).

This would leak "err", you would need to pass NULL instead. Imho we need to
report a warning anyway with "err".

Similarly, report a warning.
