[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] tap: setting error appropriately when calling net_init_tap_one()

[Jay Zhou]

If netdev_add tap,id=net0,...,vhost=on failed in net_init_tap_one(),
the followed up device_add virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 will fail
too, prints:

   TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor TUNSETOFFLOAD
   ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor

The reason is that the fd of tap is closed when error occured after
calling net_init_tap_one().

The fd should be closed when calling net_init_tap_one failed:
   - if tap_set_sndbuf() failed
   - if tap_set_sndbuf() succeeded but vhost failed to open or
     initialize with vhostforce flag on
The fd should not be closed just because vhost failed to open or
initialize but without vhostforce flag. So the followed up
device_add can fall back to userspace virtio successfully.

v4: - reduce duplication
    - close the fd by caller
    - tweak the title

v3: - set errp appropriately
