Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 1/1] fix #7590: qemu-server: apply timeout to QEMU start fork
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 13:45:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625114500.159384-2-s.rufinatscha@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625114500.159384-1-s.rufinatscha@proxmox.com>
Apply the existing start timeout to the forked QEMU startup path and
clean up the VM scope on timeout. This prevents stuck qmstart tasks
from holding the config lock indefinitely or leaving a partially
started QEMU process running.
