Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 6/6] suspend: skip VM start after successfully saving state
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 13:00:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527110106.287916-7-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527110106.287916-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
When creating a snapshot of the VM state for hibernation, the VM must
not be started again if the snapshot operation was completed
successfully. The VM should remain stopped, so that the QMP 'quit' is
issued without further activity from the VM.
The 'skip-vm-start' parameter for 'savevm-start' is available since
QEMU version 11.0.1, so version-guard it.
