[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] qemu_thread_create: propagate errors to callers to check

[Fei Li <fli@suse.com>]

Hi,

This idea comes from BiteSizedTasks, and this patch series implement
the error checking of qemu_thread_create: make qemu_thread_create
return a flag to indicate if it succeeded rather than failing with an
error; make all callers check it.

The first three patches apply to those call traces whose further
callers already have the *errp to pass, thus add a new Error paramater
in the call trace to propagate the error and let the further caller
check it. The last patch modifies the qemu_thread_create() and makes
it return a bool to all direct callers to indicate if it succeeds.

v2:
- Pass errp straightly instead of using a local_err & error_propagate
- Return a bool: false/true to indicate if one function succeeds
- Merge v1's last two patches into one to avoid the compling error
- Fix one omitted error in patch1 and update some error messages

Please help to review. Thanks.
