Re: [PATCH v2 21/22] rpc: don't let systemd shutdown daemon while saving VMs

The service unit "TimeoutStopSec" setting controls how long systemd waits for a service to stop before aggressively killing it, defaulting to 30 seconds if not set. When we're processing shutdown of VMs in response to OS shutdown, we very likely need more than 30 seconds to complete this job, and can not stop the daemon during this time. To avoid being prematurely killed, setup a timer that repeatedly extends the "TimeoutStopSec" value while stop of running VMs is arranged. This does mean if libvirt hangs while stoppping VMs, systemd won't get to kill the libvirt daemon, but this is considered less harmful that forcefully killing running VMs. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
