Subject: [PATCH qemu-server v4 3/3] fix #7119: qm cleanup: wait for process exiting for up to 30 seconds
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 12:04:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515100842.1980636-4-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515100842.1980636-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com>
When qmeventd detects a vm exiting, it starts 'qm cleanup'.
Since the vm process exits is sometimes not instant, wait up to 30
seconds here to start the cleanup process instead of immediately
aborting if the pid still exits. This prevented executing the hookscript
on the 'post-stop' phase when either
* the cleanup mechanism is still the old one
* the guest was powered down from inside, not via the API
This can be reproduced by e.g. passing through a usb device, which
delays the qemu process exit for a few seconds (for most devices).

changes from v3:
* adapt to indentation change of previous patch
* use non-deprecated vm_running_locally helper
* improve warning message
