From include/qapi/error.h: * Pass an existing error to the caller with the message modified: * error_propagate(errp, err); * error_prepend(errp, "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name); Fei Li pointed out that doing error_propagate() first doesn't work well when @errp is &error_fatal or &error_abort: the error_prepend() is never reached. Since I doubt fixing the documentation will stop people from getting it wrong, introduce error_propagate_prepend(), in the hope that it lures people away from using its constituents in the wrong order. Update the instructions in error.h accordingly. Convert existing error_prepend() next to error_propagate to error_propagate_prepend(). If any of these get reached with &error_fatal or &error_abort, the error messages improve. I didn't check whether that's the case anywhere.
