[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block/vmdk: Report failures in vmdk_read_cid()

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

The function vmdk_read_cid() can fail if the read on the underlying
block device fails, or if there's a format error in the VMDK file.
However its API doesn't provide a mechanism to report these errors,
and in some cases we were returning a CID of 0 and in some cases a
CID of 0xffffffff, either of which might potentially be valid values.

Change the function to return 0 on success or a negative errno, and
return the CID via a uint32_t* argument. Update the callsites to
handle and propagate the error appropriately.

This fixes in passing a Coverity-spotted issue (CID 1350038) where
we weren't checking the return value from sscanf().
