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(). Since I'm touching qemu_opts_do_parse() anyway, write a function comment for it. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
