[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 15/15] tap: Improve -netdev/netdev_add/-net/... tap error reporting

[Markus Armbruster]

When -netdev tap fails, it first reports a specific error, then a
generic one, like this:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev tap,id=foo
    qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,id=foo: could not configure /dev/net/tun: 
Operation not permitted
    qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,id=foo: Device 'tap' could not be 
initialized

With the command line, the messages go to stderr.  In HMP, they go to
the monitor.  In QMP, the second one becomes the error reply, and the
first one goes to stderr.

Convert net_init_tap() to Error.  This suppresses the unwanted second
message, and makes the specific error the QMP error reply.
