Having an Error parameter for these functions makes sense because we sometimes want a bit more information than just "Something failed". Some drivers already use error_report() and the like to emit this additional information, so it's rather obvious that we do want a real error object here.
v2: - Fix cover letter subject. - Patch 1: Added so we can let patch 2 make use of the error object returned by the blk_truncate() calls in vhdx_create_bat() [Kevin] - Patch 2: [Kevin] - Make use of those error objects as described above - Pass the error object returned by blk_truncate() to vpc_create() - Let qemu-io print blk_truncate()'s error message - Patch 3: Fixed archipelago, not sure if that is relevant any longer... - Patch 4: - Consistently always generate error messages in drivers that at least sometimes do so instead of sometimes relying on the default one [Eric] - Fix (pre-existing) coding style issue [Patchew] git-backport-diff against v2: Key: [----] : patches are identical [####] : number of functional differences between upstream/downstream patch [down] : patch is downstream-only The flags [FC] indicate (F)unctional and (C)ontextual differences, respectively 001/4:[down] 'block/vhdx: Make vhdx_create() always set errp' 002/4:[0026] [FC] 'block: Add errp to b{lk,drv}_truncate()' 003/4:[0002] [FC] 'block: Add errp to BD.bdrv_truncate()' 004/4:[0013] [FC] 'block: Add some bdrv_truncate() error messages' Max Reitz (4): block/vhdx: Make vhdx_create() always set errp block: Add errp to b{lk,drv}_truncate() block: Add errp to BD.bdrv_truncate() block: Add some bdrv_truncate() error messages include/block/block.h | 2 +- include/block/block_int.h | 2 +- include/sysemu/block-backend.h | 2 +- block.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- block/archipelago.c | 3 ++- block/blkdebug.c | 4 ++-- block/block-backend.c | 5 +++-- block/commit.c | 5 +++-- block/crypto.c | 5 +++-- block/file-posix.c | 19 +++++++++++++------ block/file-win32.c | 6 +++--- block/gluster.c | 3 ++- block/iscsi.c | 4 ++-- block/mirror.c | 2 +- block/nfs.c | 2 +- block/parallels.c | 13 ++++++++----- block/qcow.c | 6 +++--- block/qcow2-refcount.c | 5 ++++- block/qcow2.c | 23 ++++++++++++++--------- block/qed.c | 8 +++++--- block/raw-format.c | 6 ++++-- block/rbd.c | 2 +- block/sheepdog.c | 14 ++++++-------- block/vdi.c | 4 ++-- block/vhdx-log.c | 2 +- block/vhdx.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++------- block/vmdk.c | 13 +++---------- block/vpc.c | 13 +++++++------ blockdev.c | 21 +-------------------- qemu-img.c | 17 ++++------------- qemu-io-cmds.c | 5 +++-- 31 files changed, 135 insertions(+), 124 deletions(-) -- 2.12.0
