I agree the error message is bad, but I'm afraid your patch makes it
worse :)
qemu_balloon() returns zero when balloon_event_fn has not been set with
qemu_add_balloon_handler().
Right now, the only device that calls qemu_add_balloon_handler() is
virtio-balloon-device. In theory, there could be others in the future.
virtio-balloon-device is a virtio-bus device. The bus can be provided
by virtio-balloon-pci or virtio-balloon-ccw.
Your error message is misleading when it's provided by the latter.
Moreover, you missed qmp_query_balloon().
QERR_DEVICE_NOT_ACTIVE is also used with argument "spice", and the
resulting error message is similarly bad. Perhaps something like this
would do:
#define QERR_DEVICE_NOT_ACTIVE \
ERROR_CLASS_DEVICE_NOT_ACTIVE, "No %s device has been activated"
