Hi!
Just a fun case of (invalid) usage of qemu-system command line.
Someone tried -nic model=rocker, and qemu does this:
Unexpected error in object_property_find() at
/build/qemu/git/qom/object.c:1029:
qemu-system-x86_64: Property '.mac' not found
Aborted
This happens after this commit:
commit 52310c3fa7dc854dd2376ae8a518141abcdb78f3
Author: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Mar 2 10:30:50 2018 +0100
net: allow using any PCI NICs in -net or -nic
Previously rocker rightly wasn't usable as a nic model,
and after this commit it is now possible.
While I agree this is invalid usage, perhaps qemu should not
abort like this? Maybe it should check the required property
too, before allowing this device to be a nic model?
Thanks,
/mjt
