Subject: [PATCH guest-common/manager/qemu-server v3 0/3] fix #5032: add guest time sync via QGA
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 12:31:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702103201.164567-1-j.klocker@proxmox.com> (raw)
This series adds a new agent option 'sync-time-on-resume' to
automatically synchronize the guest clock via the QEMU Guest Agent
after operations that can leave the guest time stale. The option is
disabled by default and only takes effect when the QEMU Guest Agent is
enabled.
When a VM resumes with a restored RAM state (waking from hibernation or
rolling back to a snapshot that includes RAM), the guest clock
continues from the point the state was saved and no longer matches
wall-clock time. Skews also appears whenever the guest is briefly
frozen and resumed - after creating a snapshot, an
ordinary pause/resume, or the resume step of a live migration.
When enabled, the option triggers a guest-set-time call:
* after resuming from hibernation (suspend-to-disk)
* after rolling back to a snapshot that includes RAM
* after a live migration
* after an ordinary pause/resume
* after taking a snapshot
The start, resume and rollback API endpoints also accept a
'sync-time-on-resume' parameter that overrides the configured value for
a single operation.
The persistent config option is exposed in the QEMU Guest Agent
configuration GUI, so it can be toggled per guest.
