[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] sd: Fix "info qtree" on boards with SD cards

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] sd: Fix "info qtree" on boards with SD cards

[Peter Maydell]

The SD card object is not a SysBusDevice, so don't create it with
qdev_create() if we're not assigning it to a specific bus; use
object_new() instead.

This was causing 'info qtree' to segfault on boards with SD cards,
because qdev_create(NULL, TYPE_FOO) puts the created object on the
system bus, and then we may try to run functions like sysbus_dev_print()
on it, which fail when casting the object to SysBusDevice.

(This is the same mistake that we made with the NAND device
and fixed in commit 6749695eaaf346c1.)

I assume that using qdev_create() for non-SysBus devices is
OK if we are passing in a specific bus pointer, because we do
this already for various things including PCI devices. The
various "properly QOMified" uses of TYPE_SD_CARD do that; only
this sd_init() function for the legacy uses doesn't.

The patch looks good.

Would it also be good to update bus_add_child() so that it NULL-checks
its "bus" parameter before dereferencing it?

No, I think it's just a programming error to call qdev_set_parent_bus()
with a NULL bus parameter, so crashing is fine.

(The problem fixed by this patch doesn't involve calling bus_add_child()
with a NULL pointer, in any case -- qdev_try_create() will handle
a NULL bus pointer as "use the default system bus", so by the time
it gets to bus_add_child() the bus pointer is never NULL. It's
using the default bus at all that causes things to go wrong much
later on down the line.)

...but it might be helpful to assert in qdev_try_create() that
if we're using the default bus then the object is a sysbus
device object. At least then the problem will be immediately
clear rather than only showing up if you run a monitor command
later.

[Thomas Hanson]

Sounds like a good idea.  Much easier to fix a problem with an
explicit error than to chase a seg fault.
