Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/7] Warn if value of qdev_init() isn't checked
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2009 01:16:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b05adb9005c33b4aeb084121c077d90486011fc2.1254867902.git.armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1254867902.git.armbru@redhat.com>

After qdev_init() fails, the device is gone.  Failure to check runs a
high risk of use-after-free.
