<markdown> # Patcher du debian ! how to ? Avec des vrais morceaux de LXD dedans ## 1. Contexte : du LXD & du qemu-system - pour une machine toute neuve debian sous Bookworm (testing à l'époque), qui nécessite de faire fonctionner des machines virtuelles (dites « vm/VM ») grâce au logiciel de Canonical « LXD » (sorte de remplacant de lxc), il fallait patcher le paquet qemu-system. - en passant du côté de `irc.libera.chat#qemu` et `irc.libera.chat#lxc` j'ai été redirigé []sur l'issue qui va bien](https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1486) mais vu que ça n'avançait pas : l'idée a été de patcher w00t ! ## 2. Reproduction du pépin (/¯◡ ‿ ◡)/¯ ~ ┻━┻ ### 2.1 Install machine de base ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install –no-install-recommends sudo vim etckeeper tig lnav screen htop borgbackup tcpstat nmap lsof iftop tcpdump tldr ncdu ripgrep unattended-upgrades gnupg debian-goodies apticron apt-listchanges ssmtp python3-pip sudo apt install lxd sudo apt install qemu-base qemu-utils qemu-system sudo apt upgrade ```

Hot-pluging a vhost-net may cause virtual machine crash in following steps: 1. Starting a vm without net devices. 2. Hot-pluging 70 memory devices. 3. Hot-pluging a vhost-net device.

The reason is : if hotplug a vhost-net failed, the nc cannot be found via function qemu_find_netdev, as it has been cleaned up through function qemu_cleanup_net_client. Which leads to the result that assert(nc) failed, then qemu crashed.

While, the root reason is that, in commit 46d4d36d0bf2 if not both has_vhostforce and vhostforce flags are true, the errp would not be set. Then net_init_tap would not return a negative value, fallowed by founding nc and assert nc.

In this patch, asserting nc is replaced with setting an error message.
