Subject: [PATCH v2 10/15] error: Use error_setg_file_open() for simplicity and consistency
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 13:14:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121121438.1249498-11-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251121121438.1249498-1-armbru@redhat.com>
Replace
error_setg_errno(errp, errno, MSG, FNAME);
by
error_setg_file_open(errp, errno, FNAME);
where MSG is "Could not open '%s'" or similar.
Also replace equivalent uses of error_setg().
A few messages lose prefixes ("net dump: ", "SEV: ", __func__ ": ").
We could put them back with error_prepend(). Not worth the bother.
