The 'blockdev-create' QMP command was introduced as experimental
feature in commit b0292b851b, using the assert() debug call.
It got promoted to 'stable' command in 3fb588a0f2, but the
assert call was not removed.
Some block drivers are optional, and bdrv_find_format() might
return a NULL value, triggering the assertion.
Stable code is not expected to abort, so return an error instead.
This is easily reproducible when libnfs is not installed:
./configure
[...]
module support no
Block whitelist (rw)
Block whitelist (ro)
libiscsi support yes
libnfs support no
[...]
Start QEMU:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -S -qmp unix:/tmp/qemu.qmp,server,nowait
Send the 'blockdev-create' with the 'nfs' driver:
$ ( cat << 'EOF'
{'execute': 'qmp_capabilities'}
{'execute': 'blockdev-create', 'arguments': {'job-id': 'x', 'options': {'size': 0, 'driver': 'nfs', 'location': {'path': '/', 'server': {'host': '::1', 'type': 'inet'}}}}, 'id': 'x'}
EOF
) | socat STDIO UNIX:/tmp/qemu.qmp
