Subject: [PULL 3/8] hw/xen: Fix xen_bus_realize() error handling
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2025 15:51:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250321145158.3896812-4-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250321145158.3896812-1-armbru@redhat.com>

The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL.  Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call.

xen_bus_realize() is wrong that way: it passes &local_err to
xs_node_watch() in a loop.  If this fails in more than one iteration,
it can trip error_setv()'s assertion.

Fix by clearing @local_err.

Fixes: c4583c8c394e (xen-bus: reduce scope of backend watch)
