[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Prevent disk corruption on domain shutdown
Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.
By sending SIGQUIT instead of SIGTERM followed by SIGKILL we tell qemu
to flush all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on
monitor connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores
SIGQUIT or just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not
any different from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process
so I think it's just fine.
