When external_snapshot_abort() rejects a BlockDriverState without a medium, it creates an error like this:
error_setg(errp, "Device '%s' has no medium", device); Trouble is @device can be null. My system formats null as "(null)", but other systems might crash. Reproducer: 1. Create a block device without a medium -> {"execute": "blockdev-add", "arguments": {"driver": "host_cdrom", "node-name": "blk0", "filename": "/dev/sr0"}} <- {"return": {}} 3. Attempt to snapshot it -> {"execute":"blockdev-snapshot-sync", "arguments": { "node-name": "blk0", "snapshot-file":"/tmp/foo.qcow2","format":"qcow2"}} <- {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Device '(null)' has no medium"}} Broken when commit 0901f67ecdb made @device optional. Use bdrv_get_device_or_node_name() instead. Now it fails as it should: <- {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Device 'blk0' has no medium"}} Fixes: 0901f67ecdb7 (qmp: Allow to take external snapshots on bs graphs node.)
