This will not be silent - virDirOpenIfExists already logged an error.
Right, let's drop the comment.
You can call virFileExists upfront - which is just a wrapper to access
and then take virDirOpenIfExists errors seriously - if someone changes
the permissions in the meantime, they deserve the error.
That won't work the desired way, since virFileExists() is true even
when you don't have permissions to read it.

With that fixed:

I see several ways forward, if any of the directory doesn't have
readable permissions :
1. keep behaviour before this patch: fail entirely. This is
unnecessarily strict imho
2. use this patch (remove the comment): log an error, but browse other
directories
3. change the code further so that no error is logged
To me, 2 is a good compromise.
Does your r-b tag holds with the comment removed only?
thanks
