Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] Timeout QEMU monitor replies after 30 seconds

If the QEMU process has been stopped (kill -STOP/gdb), or the QEMU process has live-locked itself, then we will never get a reply from the monitor. We should not wait forever in this case, but instead timeout after a reasonable amount of time. NB if the host has high CPU load, or a single monitor command intentionally takes a long time, then this will cause bogus failures. In the case of high CPU load, arguably the guest should have been migrated elsewhere, since you can't effectively manage guests on a host if QEMU is taking > 30 seconds to reply to simply commands. Since we use background migration, there should not be any commands which take significant time to execute any more * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Timeout waiting for reply after 30 seconds --- src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
