This series is not for 9.2, but for 10.0. It is intended to replace this previous patchset:
[PATCH 0/5] QOM: Enforce container_get() to operate on containers only https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241118221330.3480246-1-pet...@redhat.com Since it's a different patchset, the versioning starts from v1. The series is about container_get() and its removal. Meanwhile after the whole series applied, all the containers will be created explicitly. No lookup code will implicitly create container anymore. In general, container_get() is a flaky interface in a few things. Firstly, some of the users use it without getting a container object. Secondly, it can implicitly create containers on the fly. As Dan (mostly) pointed out, we don't have a super complicated container layout. It looks like this: /objects /chardevs /backend (conditional, ui/ only) /dr-connector (conditional, ppc/ only) /machine /peripheral /peripheral-anon /unattached This series create these containers explicitly. There's a side benefit of dropping container_get(), which is to avoid complicated string operations, as container_get() is never used in more than one depth. It means switching to object_resolve_path_component() should make existing code even tiny little faster. To achieve this, some test needs to be fixed first. For that, "tests: Fix test-qdev-global-props on anonymous qdev realize()". Comments welcomed, thanks.
