[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] object_del: Prevent removing an in-use memory backend object

[Lin Ma]

showing a memory device whose memdev is removed leads an assert:

(qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=ram0,size=128M
(qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=d0,memdev=ram0
(qemu) object_del ram0
(qemu) info memory-devices
**
ERROR:qom/object.c:1274:object_get_canonical_path_component:\
                            assertion failed: (obj->parent != NULL)
Aborted

The patch prevents removing an in-use mem backend and outputs an error msg.
