[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio-9p: Avoid SEGV when log file couldn't be opened

[Sripathi Kodi]

While running in debug mode if 9P server is unable to open the log file
it results in a SEGV deep down in glibc:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

This is ugly and misleading. The following patch adds a BUG_ON to catch this
error. With this patch we get an abort message like the following, which makes
it easier to analyze:

f12-kvm login: qemu: 
/data/sripathi/code/qemu/new/qemu-next-upstream/hw/virtio-9p-debug.c:353: 
pprint_pdu: Assertion `!(!llogfile)' failed.
