Is it only because there are not enough workers available? If yes,
then changing the limits in libvirtd.conf (both global and
per-connection) might be the easiest way to go.

That's very nice to receive your reply quickly.
The job pressure is just one point for time out mechnism. If something really bad
happened
just like a blocked bug which stops libvirt API returning, and it's very rare to
happen,
what can we do to assure the job not blocked by the blocked API?
It's like Process A call libvirt API b, but b never returns, A is blocked there
forever, so
what's the best for us to do?
