[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/3] Fix virtio-*(-non)-transitional crash on 2.6 machine-types

[Eduardo Habkost]

This is a second attempt to fix the crash reported by Thomas[1].

This keeps the compat property array simple, different from my
first attempt[2].

This also avoids extra complexity on the device code: we don't
need interface name, inheritance tricks, or devices overriding a
compat property after the fact.  The simple absence of the QOM
properties on some device types is enough to make the compat code
skip them.

While working on the fix, I stumbled upon another minor bug in
object_apply_global_props(), which I fixed in patch 1/3.

This series is based on my machine-next branch, because of
conflicts with compat property array cleanups that are already
queued.

  qom: Don't keep error value between object_property_parse() calls
  globals: Allow global properties to be optional
  virtio: Make disable-legacy/disable-modern compat properties optional
