From: Zhao Liu <zhao1....@intel.com> As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires ERRP_GUARD():
* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() = * * Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted: ... * - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or * error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal. * ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions. * * To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function. * @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being * NULL or &error_fatal. ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1]. The set_chr() passes @errp to error_prepend() without ERRP_GUARD(). As a PropertyInfo.set method, there are too many possible callers to check the impact of this defect; it may or may not be harmless. Thus it is necessary to protect @errp with ERRP_GUARD(). To avoid the issue like [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the beginning of this function. [1]: Issue description in the commit message of commit ae7c80a7bd73 ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
