Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 4/6] fix #6424: increase timeout for QMP 'quit' to 60s to avoid issue with bulk suspend
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 13:00:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527110106.287916-5-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527110106.287916-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
The 'quit' QMP command itself is fast, since it only records the
shutdown request and notifies the main loop, but getting the response
can take a while. The reason is that qmp_dispatch() yields and must be
woken after executing the command and at that stage, QEMU is already
busy with teardown too.
In practice, users can run into the default timeout of 5 seconds when
doing bulk suspend.
The 'quit' QMP command is only used as part of (potentially)
longer-running operations already:
- VM hibernation
- VM stop
- QSD quit:
- after enrolling EFI disk certs
- terminating instance for TPM
