When the argument is non-zero, qemu_opt_foreach() stops on callback
returning non-zero, and returns that value.
When the argument is zero, it doesn't stop, and returns the callback's
value from the last iteration.
The two callers that pass zero could just as well pass one:
* qemu_spice_init()'s callback add_channel() either returns zero or
exit()s.
* config_write_opts()'s callback config_write_opt() always returns
zero.
Drop the parameter, and always stop.

img_convert() and img_amend() use qemu_opts_do_parse(), which reports
errors with qerror_report_err(). Its error messages aren't helpful
here, the caller reports one that actually makes sense. Reproducer:
$ qemu-img convert -o backing_format=raw in.img out.img
qemu-img: Invalid parameter 'backing_format'
qemu-img: Invalid options for file format 'raw'
To fix, propagate errors through qemu_opts_do_parse(). This lifts the
error reporting into callers. Drop it from img_convert() and
img_amend(), keep it in qemu_chr_parse_compat(), bdrv_img_create().

IDs have long spread beyond QemuOpts: not everything with an ID
necessarily goes through QemuOpts. Commit 9aebf3b is about such a
case: block layer names are meant to be well-formed IDs, but some of
them don't go through QemuOpts, and thus weren't checked. The commit
fixed that the straightforward way: rename the internal QemuOpts
helper id_wellformed() to qemu_opts_id_wellformed() and give it
external linkage.
Instead of using it directly in block.c, the commit adds wrapper
bdrv_is_valid_name(), probably to hide the connection to QemuOpts.
Go one logical step further: emancipate IDs from QemuOpts. Rename the
function back to id_wellformed(), and put it in another file. While
there, clean up its value to bool. Peel off the bdrv_is_valid_name()
wrapper.
[Replaced stray return 0 with return false to match bool returns used
elsewhere in id_wellformed().

The problem is apparently in the qemu_opts_append(). Well, if it
gets called twice or more. On the first call, when @dst is NULL
some initialization is done during which @dst->head list gets
initialized. The list is initialized in a way, so that the list
tail points at the list head. However, the next time
qemu_opts_append() is called for new options to be added,
g_realloc() may move @dst to a new address making the old list tail
point at an invalid address. If that's the case, we must update the
list pointers.

Add qemu_opt_get_del, qemu_opt_get_bool_del, qemu_opt_get_number_del and
qemu_opt_get_size_del to replace the same handling of QEMUOptionParameter
(get and delete).
Several drivers are coded to parse a known subset of options, then
remove them from the list before handing all remaining options to a
second driver for further option processing. get_*_del makes it easier
to retrieve a known option (or its default) and remove it from the list
all in one action.
Share common helper function:
For qemu_opt_get_bool/size/number, they and their get_*_del counterpart
could share most of the code except whether or not deleting the opt from
option list, so generate common helper functions.
For qemu_opt_get and qemu_opt_get_del, keep code duplication, since
1. qemu_opt_get_del returns malloc'd memory while qemu_opt_get returns
in-place memory
2. qemu_opt_get_del returns (char *), qemu_opt_get returns (const char *),
and could not change to (char *), since in one case, it will return
desc->def_value_str, which is (const char *).

Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether to bail out due to

It's wrong when ERRP may be null, because errors go undetected when it

argument. Else, it's unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f0).
The error_is_set(state->errp) in qemu_opts_from_qdict_1() is merely

Commit 6d4cd40 fixed qemu_opts_set_defaults() for an existing corner

I believe [opts_parse()] attempts to do the following:
If options don't yet exist, create new options
Else, if defaults, modify the existing options
Else, if list->merge_lists, modify the existing options
Else, fail
The only caller that passes true for defaults is
qemu_opts_set_defaults().
The commit message then claims:
A straightforward call of qemu_opts_create() does exactly that.
Wrong. When !list->merge_lists, and the option string doesn't contain
id=, and options without ID exist, then we don't actually modify the
existing options, we create new ones.
Not reachable, because we never pass lists with !list->merge_lists to
qemu_opts_set_defaults().

Commit 4f6dd9a changed the initialization of opts in opts_parse() to
this:
if (defaults) {
if (!id && !QTAILQ_EMPTY(&list->head)) {
opts = qemu_opts_find(list, NULL);
} else {
opts = qemu_opts_create(list, id, 0);
}
} else {
opts = qemu_opts_create(list, id, 1);
}
Same as before for !defaults.
If defaults is true, and params has no ID, and options exist, we use
the first assignment. It sets opts to null if all options have an ID.
opts_parse() then returns null. qemu_opts_set_defaults() asserts the
value is non-null. It's the only caller that passes true for
defaults.
To reproduce, try "-M xenpv -machine id=foo" (yes, "id=foo" is silly,
but it shouldn't crash).
