Hi
I tried to add a device to guest from upstream qemu monitor using
"device_add".
Unknowingly i try to add already registered devices from qemu
monitor, my qemu monitor is aborted. I don't see a reason to kill
monitor. I think abort() is a bit rough. we need a better way to handle
it. If a user try to add a already registered device, qemu should
convey this to user saying that, this device already registered and an
error message should be fine than aborting qemu.
QLIST_FOREACH(block, &ram_list.blocks, next) {
if (!strcmp(block->idstr, new_block->idstr)) {
fprintf(stderr, "RAMBlock \"%s\" already registered,
abort!\n",
new_block->idstr);
abort();
}
If i return some other value in above code, instead of abort(), I
would need change the code for every device, which i dont want to.
Is there a way to check, if device is already enrolled or not in the very beginning of "device_add"
call.
Thanks
Pradeep
