    qdev: Unrealize must not fail · b69c3c21
    Markus Armbruster 提交于
    Devices may have component devices and buses.
    
    Device realization may fail.  Realization is recursive: a device's
    realize() method realizes its components, and device_set_realized()
    realizes its buses (which should in turn realize the devices on that
    bus, except bus_set_realized() doesn't implement that, yet).
    
    When realization of a component or bus fails, we need to roll back:
    unrealize everything we realized so far.  If any of these unrealizes
    failed, the device would be left in an inconsistent state.  Must not
    happen.
    
    device_set_realized() lets it happen: it ignores errors in the roll
    back code starting at label child_realize_fail.
    
    Since realization is recursive, unrealization must be recursive, too.
    But how could a partly failed unrealize be rolled back?  We'd have to
    re-realize, which can fail.  This design is fundamentally broken.
    
    device_set_realized() does not roll back at all.  Instead, it keeps
    unrealizing, ignoring further errors.
    
    It can screw up even for a device with no buses: if the lone
    dc->unrealize() fails, it still unregisters vmstate, and calls
    listeners' unrealize() callback.
    
    bus_set_realized() does not roll back either.  Instead, it stops
    unrealizing.
    
    Fortunately, no unrealize method can fail, as we'll see below.
    
    To fix the design error, drop parameter @errp from all the unrealize
    methods.
    
    Any unrealize method that uses @errp now needs an update.  This leads
    us to unrealize() methods that can fail.  Merely passing it to another
    unrealize method cannot cause failure, though.  Here are the ones that
    do other things with @errp:
    
    * virtio_serial_device_unrealize()
    
      Fails when qbus_set_hotplug_handler() fails, but still does all the
      other work.  On failure, the device would stay realized with its
      resources completely gone.  Oops.  Can't happen, because
      qbus_set_hotplug_handler() can't actually fail here.  Pass
      &error_abort to qbus_set_hotplug_handler() instead.
    
    * hw/ppc/spapr_drc.c's unrealize()
    
      Fails when object_property_del() fails, but all the other work is
      already done.  On failure, the device would stay realized with its
      vmstate registration gone.  Oops.  Can't happen, because
      object_property_del() can't actually fail here.  Pass &error_abort
      to object_property_del() instead.
    
    * spapr_phb_unrealize()
    
      Fails and bails out when remove_drcs() fails, but other work is
      already done.  On failure, the device would stay realized with some
      of its resources gone.  Oops.  remove_drcs() fails only when
      chassis_from_bus()'s object_property_get_uint() fails, and it can't
      here.  Pass &error_abort to remove_drcs() instead.
    
    Therefore, no unrealize method can fail before this patch.
    
    device_set_realized()'s recursive unrealization via bus uses
    object_property_set_bool().  Can't drop @errp there, so pass
    &error_abort.
    
    We similarly unrealize with object_property_set_bool() elsewhere,
    always ignoring errors.  Pass &error_abort instead.
    
    Several unrealize methods no longer handle errors from other unrealize
    methods: virtio_9p_device_unrealize(),
    virtio_input_device_unrealize(), scsi_qdev_unrealize(), ...
    Much of the deleted error handling looks wrong anyway.
    
    One unrealize methods no longer ignore such errors:
    usb_ehci_pci_exit().
    
    Several realize methods no longer ignore errors when rolling back:
    v9fs_device_realize_common(), pci_qdev_unrealize(),
    spapr_phb_realize(), usb_qdev_realize(), vfio_ccw_realize(),
    virtio_device_realize().
