The addition of error_prepend() checking makes this patch larger than in v3.

But similar to v3, I was able to come up with a matching grep query:

$ git grep -np 'error_\(append_hint\|prepend\)(errp' \
    block.c block/ include/block/ \
   | grep '\.[ch]=' | wc -l
22

and see that grep found one more instance than coccinelle.  Looking 
closer, I see where my diff found a spot you missed:

block/qcow2-bitmap.c=1448=void 
qcow2_store_persistent_dirty_bitmaps(BlockDriverState *bs, Error **errp)
block/qcow2-bitmap.c=1671=fail:

[Ouch - there's a REASON that emacs prefers indenting labels at column 
'2, 5, 9, 13, ...' rather than '1, 5, 9, 13' - that's because anything 
at column 1 messes up determination of 'grep -p' for which function owns 
the code, showing the label at 1671 instead of the function 
qcow2_can_store_new_dirty_bitmap at 1618 - but that's a side point]

Your patch is missing a patch to qcow2_store_persistent_dirty_bitmaps(), 
which calls error_prepend(errp, ...).  However, when I manually ran the 
same spatch command line, I also got the same failure to include a fix 
in that function.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the .cocci script to miss that instance; 
I've tried fiddling around with the .cocci file to see if I can spot any 
change to make (for example, using ... instead of <+...), but so far, 
with no success at getting the second function patched.
