[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/5] pseries: Check we have a chardev in spapr_vty_init()

[David Gibson]

From: Michael Ellerman <address@hidden>

If qemu is run like:

 qemu-system-ppc64 -nodefaults -device spapr-vty

We end up in spapr_vty_init() with dev->chardev == NULL. Currently
that leads to a segfault because we unconditionally call
qemu_chr_add_handlers().

Although we could make that call conditional, I think a spapr-vty
without a chardev is basically useless so fail the init. This is
similar to what the serial code does for example.
