And than pc_dimm_get_memory_region

Hmm, because 'here' is not the only place calling 
->get_memory_region, this method has

multiple callers:

$ git grep "\->get_memory_region"
hw/i386/pc.c:MemoryRegion *mr = ddc->get_memory_region(dimm);
hw/i386/pc.c:MemoryRegion *mr = ddc->get_memory_region(dimm);
hw/mem/dimm.c:mr = ddc->get_memory_region(dimm);
hw/mem/nvdimm.c:ddc->get_memory_region = nvdimm_get_memory_region;
hw/mem/pc-dimm.c:ddc->get_memory_region = 
pc_dimm_get_memory_region;

hw/ppc/spapr.c:MemoryRegion *mr = ddc->get_memory_region(dimm);

memory region validation is also done for NVDIMM in nvdimm device.

Ok, then it should be documented by a comment in dimm.h, where 
DIMMDeviceClass is defined, that this

function should not fail



Okay, how about this comment:

/*
 * get the memory region which will be mapped into guest's address
 * space. It is called after dimm device realized so it is never
 * failed.
 */
MemoryRegion *(*get_memory_region)(DIMMDevice *dimm);


if you don't mind:
s/it is never failed/it should never fail and assumed to return valid 
not-NULL address


I'll ok with this if others don't mind, but personally I prefer explicit 
error handling for such functions.

I don't know if you are going to remove the errp parameter in the next
version, but if you want to simply abort in case an error is reported by
a function, you can use _abort.

Thank you, Eduardo! let's happily drop the unused errp parameter in
host_memory_backend_get_memory in the next version. :)

You mean merger this patch with 19/35 (dimm: abstract dimm device from 
pc-dimm)?
The 19/35 mostly ‘moves’ the things, this one changes the core logic, 
it is not

a big deal. :D


stupid me, you are right)






  static void pc_dimm_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data)


I've discovered suddenly, that

MemoryRegion *
host_memory_backend_get_memory(HostMemoryBackend *backend, Error **errp)
{
 return memory_region_size(>mr) ? >mr : NULL;
}

- it doesn't use errp at all. In my opinion, this should be fixed 
globally, by deleting useless
parameter in separate patch. Or just squash your function into 
previous patch.




Yup, this is a globally interface so i prefer to make a separate patch 
to do the

cleanup after this patchset.
