[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-sockets: Fix assertion failure

[Kevin Wolf]

inet_connect_opts() tries all possible addrinfos returned by
getaddrinfo(). If one fails with an error, the next one is tried. In
this case, the Error should be discarded because the whole operation is
successful if another addrinfo from the list succeeds; and if it
doesn't, setting an already set Error will trigger an assertion failure.
