[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-char: avoid segfault if user lacks of permisson of a given logfile

[Lin Ma]

Function qemu_chr_alloc returns NULL if it failed to open logfile by any reason,
says no write permission. For backends tty, stdio and msmouse, They need to
check this return value to avoid segfault in this case.
