[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Ensure an error is reported to user if 9pfs mount tag is too long

[Daniel P. Berrange]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <address@hidden>

If the 9pfs mount tag is longer than MAX_TAG_LEN bytes, rather than
silently truncating the tag which will likely break the guest OS,
report an immediate error and exit QEMU

* hw/9pfs/virtio-9p-device.c: Report error & exit if mount tag is
  too long
