[PATCH v2 1/2] net: tap: check if the file descriptor is valid before using it

[Laurent Vivier]

qemu_set_nonblock() checks that the file descriptor can be used and, if
not, crashes QEMU. An assert() is used for that. The use of assert() is
used to detect programming error and the coredump will allow to debug
the problem.

But in the case of the tap device, this assert() can be triggered by
a misconfiguration by the user. At startup, it's not a real problem, but it
can also happen during the hot-plug of a new device, and here it's a
problem because we can crash a perfectly healthy system.

For instance:
 # ip link add link virbr0 name macvtap0 type macvtap mode bridge
 # ip link set macvtap0 up
 # TAP=/dev/tap$(ip -o link show macvtap0 | cut -d: -f1)
 # qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -device pcie-root-port,id=pcie-root-port-0 
-monitor stdio 9<> $TAP
 (qemu) netdev_add type=tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,fd=9
 (qemu) device_add 
driver=virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,bus=pcie-root-port-0
 (qemu) device_del net0
 (qemu) netdev_del hostnet0
 (qemu) netdev_add type=tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,fd=9
 qemu-system-x86_64: .../util/oslib-posix.c:247: qemu_set_nonblock: Assertion 
`f != -1' failed.
 Aborted (core dumped)

To avoid that, check the file descriptor is valid before passing it to
qemu_set_non_block() for "fd=" and "fds=" parameters.
