[Qemu-devel] [PULL 09/23] qom: Wrap prop visit in visit_start_struct

[Markus Armbruster]

From: Eric Blake <address@hidden>

The qmp-input visitor was allowing callers to play rather fast
and loose: when visiting a QDict, you could grab members of the
root dictionary without first pushing into the dict; the final
such culprit was the QOM code for converting to and from object
properties.  But we are about to tighten the input visitor, at
which point user_creatable_add_type() as called with a QMP input
visitor via qmp_object_add() MUST follow the same paradigms as
everyone else, of pushing into the struct before grabbing its
keys.

The use of 'err ? NULL : &err' is temporary; a later patch will
clean that up when it splits visit_end_struct().

Furthermore, note that both callers always pass qdict, so we can
convert the conditional into an assert and reduce indentation.

The change has no impact to the testsuite now, but is required to
avoid a failure in tests/test-netfilter once qmp-input is made
stricter to detect inconsistent 'name' arguments on the root visit.

Since user_creatable_add_type() is also called with OptsVisitor
through user_creatable_add_opts(), we must also check that there
is no negative impact there; both pre- and post-patch, we see:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -nodefaults -qmp stdio -object 
secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw,foo=bar
qemu-system-x86_64: -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw,foo=bar: 
Property '.foo' not found

That is, the only new checking that the new visit_end_struct() can
perform is for excess input, but we already catch excess input
earlier in object_property_set().
