Subject: [Patch v6 0/6] hw/core/loader: capture Error from load_image_targphys
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 18:54:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022132507.1597232-2-vishalc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Currently, when QEMU fails to load images (kernel, BIOS, initrd) via
load_image_targphys(), the error messages are not descriptive enough
for users to understand why the loading failed. This series adds the
ability to add Error information through the loader functions to
provide more detailed error reporting.
v6:
- Pass error_fatal instead of errp where caller exits right after
load_image_targphys() fails
- Include filename in error messages.
v5:
- Moved the patch which replaces open() with qemu_open() earlier in the
series
- Incorporated minor changes in the error messages requested by Balaton
- Moved check for size zero in load_image_targphys_as() into it's
separate patch
v4:
- Reject empty files (`size == 0`) with an appropriate error. [1/5]
- Populate error when `rom_add_file_fixed_as()` fails. [1/5]
- Add missing check in hw/ppc/virtex_ml507.c [5/5]
- Fixed checkpatch warnings [5/5]
- Check errp for failures from load_image_targphys/load_image_targphys_as [3,5/5]
- Remove unused variables [5/5]
v3:
- Use qemu_open() instead of open() in get_image_size() (danpb)
- Remove redundant error_setg_file_open() call (danpb)
- Use error_prepend()/error_reportf_err() to preserve underlying
error details (danpb)
