[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1695169] [NEW] qga fail to start when pidfile path is missing

[wufucious]

Public bug reported:

The qga main program has two parameters: "--logfile" and "--pidfile"
which specifies the paths to the logfile and pidfile. It assumes that
the paths exit in the running OS but if not, the qga will fail to
start.I think qga should create the missing paths.

I found this bug exits in several Linux distributions including Ubuntu
14, Cent-OS 6 and 7 when the original and the latest master qga applies.
I have a patch which can fix it. Should I patch it to the QEMU master
branch?
