Symptom:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 10000000
Unexpected error in ram_block_add() at /work/armbru/qemu/exec.c:1456:
upstream-qemu: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory
Aborted (core dumped)
Root cause: commit ef701d7 screwed up handling of out-of-memory
conditions. Before the commit, we report the error and exit(1), in
one place, ram_block_add(). The commit lifts the error handling up
the call chain some, to three places. Fine. Except it uses
&error_abort in these places, changing the behavior from exit(1) to
abort(), and thus undoing the work of commit 3922825 "exec: Don't
abort when we can't allocate guest memory".
The three places are:
* memory_region_init_ram()
Commit 4994653 (right after commit ef701d7) lifted the error
handling further, through memory_region_init_ram(), multiplying the
incorrect use of &error_abort. Later on, imitation of existing
(bad) code may have created more.
* memory_region_init_ram_ptr()
The &error_abort is still there.
* memory_region_init_rom_device()
Doesn't need fixing, because commit 33e0eb5 (soon after commit
ef701d7) lifted the error handling further, and in the process
changed it from &error_abort to passing it up the call chain.
Correct, because the callers are realize() methods.
Fix the error handling after memory_region_init_ram() with a
Coccinelle semantic patch:
@r@
expression mr, owner, name, size, err;
position p;
@@
memory_region_init_ram(mr, owner, name, size,
(
- &error_abort
+ &error_fatal
|
err@p
)
);
@script:python@
p << r.p;
@@
print "%s:%s:%s" % (p[0].file, p[0].line, p[0].column)
When the last argument is &error_abort, it gets replaced by
&error_fatal. This is the fix.
If the last argument is anything else, its position is reported. This
lets us check the fix is complete. Four positions get reported:
* ram_backend_memory_alloc()
Error is passed up the call chain, ultimately through
user_creatable_complete(). As far as I can tell, it's callers all
handle the error sanely.
* fsl_imx25_realize(), fsl_imx31_realize(), dp8393x_realize()
DeviceClass.realize() methods, errors handled sanely further up the
call chain.
We're good. Test case again behaves:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 10000000
qemu-system-x86_64: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory
[Exit 1 ]
The next commits will repair the rest of commit ef701d7's damage.

Device models should access their block backends only through the
block-backend.h API. Convert them, and drop direct includes of
inappropriate headers.
Just four uses of BlockDriverState are left:
* The Xen paravirtual block device backend (xen_disk.c) opens images
itself when set up via xenbus, bypassing blockdev.c. I figure it
should go through qmp_blockdev_add() instead.
* Device model "usb-storage" prompts for keys. No other device model
does, and this one probably shouldn't do it, either.
* ide_issue_trim_cb() uses bdrv_aio_discard() instead of
blk_aio_discard() because it fishes its backend out of a BlockAIOCB,
which has only the BlockDriverState.
* PC87312State has an unused BlockDriverState[] member.
The next two commits take care of the latter two.

The patch is big, but all it really does is replacing
dinfo->bdrv
by
blk_bs(blk_by_legacy_dinfo(dinfo))
The replacement is repetitive, but the conversion of device models to
BlockBackend is imminent, and will shorten it to just
blk_legacy_dinfo(dinfo).
Line wrapping muddies the waters a bit. I also omit tests whether
dinfo->bdrv is null, because it never is.

This patch allows the user to usefully specify
-drive file=img_1,if=pflash,format=raw,readonly \
-drive file=img_2,if=pflash,format=raw
on the command line. The flash images will be mapped under 4G in their
reverse unit order -- that is, with their base addresses progressing
downwards, in increasing unit order.
(The unit number increases with command line order if not explicitly
specified.)
This accommodates the following use case: suppose that OVMF is split in
two parts, a writeable host file for non-volatile variable storage, and a
read-only part for bootstrap and decompressible executable code.
The binary code part would be read-only, centrally managed on the host
system, and passed in as unit 0. The variable store would be writeable,
VM-specific, and passed in as unit 1.
00000000ffe00000-00000000ffe1ffff (prio 0, R-): system.flash1
00000000ffe20000-00000000ffffffff (prio 0, R-): system.flash0
(If the guest tries to write to the flash range that is backed by the
read-only drive, pflash_update() is never called; various flash
programming/erase errors are returned to the guest instead. See the
callers of pflash_update(), and the initialization of "pfl->ro", in
"hw/block/pflash_cfi01.c".)
