[PATCH 2/4] backends: Improve error messages when property can no longer


From: Markus Armbruster
Subject: [PATCH 2/4] backends: Improve error messages when property can no longer be set
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 17:37:59 +0200

When you try to set virtio-rng property "filename" after the backend
has been completed with user_creatable_complete(), the error message
blames "insufficient permission":

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -S -display none -nodefaults -monitor stdio -object 
rng-random,id=rng0 -device virtio-rng,id=vrng0,rng=rng0
    QEMU 7.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) qom-set /objects/rng0 filename /dev/random
    Error: Insufficient permission to perform this operation

This implies it could work with "sufficient permission".  It can't.
Change the error message to:

    Error: Property 'filename' can no longer be set

Same for cryptodev-vhost-user property "chardev", rng-egd property
"chardev", and vhost-user-backend property "chardev".
