[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.0] hw/i386/pc: Fix crash when hot-plugging nvdimm on older machine types

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

QEMU currently crashes when you try to hot-plug an "nvdimm" device
on older machine types:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -M pc-1.1
QEMU 3.1.92 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) device_add nvdimm,id=nvdimmn1
qemu-system-x86_64: /home/thuth/devel/qemu/util/error.c:57: error_setv:
 Assertion `*errp == ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

The call to hotplug_handler_pre_plug() in pc_memory_pre_plug() has been
added recently before the check whether nvdimm is enabled. It should
be done after the check. And while we're at it, also check the errp
after the hotplug_handler_pre_plug(), otherwise errors are silently
ignored here.
