this adds a new helper to handle errors when allocation a bitmap and
also introduces its first user.

regular bitmap_new simply aborts if the memory allocation fails.
bitmap_try_new returns NULL on failure and allows for proper
error handling.

iscsi_open has an Error ** argument.  Please pass it to
iscsi_allocationmap_init and use error_setg instead of error_report.

Here you may have to use qerror_report_err, though I guess the failure
need not be fatal and you can leave the allocationmap set to NULL.

I could pass the Error argument and use error_report only if the pointer is null.

That was the plan. I would also not fail on iscsi_open or would you?

No, NULL means "I don't care about errors, or I don't care about precise
error messages and will use the return value to check for errors".

Hmm, good question.  If so, the patch is correct with error_report.  I
thought a failure in iscsi_open would be less surprising.  The question
then is, do we need an option to disable allocationmap queries?

We have cache=none... Otherwise if allocationmap is NULL the code
can already handle it.

Doh, right.  Then I think iscsi_open should fail if it cannot allocate
the map.

What you have works, but I personally would have reimplemented
bitmap_new as the first caller of bitmap_try_new in this patch, where
bitmap_new handles a NULL bitmap_try_new return by abort()ing, so that
it has the same behavior.  By routing the one function to use the other,
we are future-proofing: if initialization of a bitmap ever needs
modification, we only update bitmap_try_new, rather than copying the
updates to both functions.

Good point. What would be the right exit if we receive a NULL from
bitmap_try_new? abort() ?

I think that g_malloc() calls abort(), so yes, that sounds right.
