[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] qdev: Check for the availability of a hotplug controller before adding a device

[Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>]

The qdev_unplug() function contains a g_assert(hotplug_ctrl) statement,
so QEMU crashes when the user tries to device_add + device_del a device
that does not have a corresponding hotplug controller. This could be
provoked for a couple of devices in the past (see commit 4c93950659487c7ad
or 84ebd3e8c7d4fe955 for example). So devices clearly need a hotplug
controller when they should be usable with device_add.
The code in qdev_device_add() already checks whether the bus has a proper
hotplug controller, but for devices that do not have a corresponding bus,
there is no appropriate check available yet. In that case we should check
whether the machine itself provides a suitable hotplug controller and
refuse to plug the device if none is available.

 v2:
 - Do the check earlier in qdev_device_add
 - Use common new err_dev_del handler in case of failure
