Subject: [PATCH v3 03/18] migration: make .post_save() a void function
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 00:22:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304212303.667141-4-vsementsov@yandex-team.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304212303.667141-1-vsementsov@yandex-team.ru>
All other handlers now have _errp() variants. Should we go this way
for .post_save()? Actually it's rather strange, when the vmstate do
successful preparations in .pre_save(), then successfully save all
sections and subsections, end then fail when all the state is
successfully transferred to the target.
Happily, we have only three .post_save() realizations, all always
successful. Let's make this a rule.
Also note, that we call .post_save() in two places, and handle
its (theoretical) failure inconsistently. Fix that too.
