ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is the pointer of error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1]. The ivshmem_common_realize() passes @errp to error_prepend(), and as a DeviceClass.realize method, its @errp is so widely sourced that it is necessary to protect it with ERRP_GUARD(). To avoid the issue like [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the beginning of this function. [1]: Issue description in the commit message of commit ae7c80a7bd73 ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").

Please remove "err" and the error_propagate in here now. Thomas
