I'm still having this issue and I'd really like to know if there's
something about hooks I'm missing. I've seen a number of people with the
same issue on vfio-users before and it'f something I'd really like to
find a fix for.

I've been having issues with KVM lately where I sometimes put my
host
into sleep while a guest is still running, which prevents it from
waking up properly. This is somewhat expected due to my setup, but I
have mistakenly done this more than once and could use a workaround to
stop this from happening.
So I've been trying to setup a libvirt hook to fork an instance of
systemd-inhibit when the start hook is called and keep it running
until the shutdown hook is called. This seems to work well when I run
the hook script in a normal bash shell, but running it through libvirt
simply blocks the starting process until systemd-inhibit quits.
Here's the script :
LOCK_FILE="/tmp/vfio-lock-$OBJECT"
if [ "$OPERATION" == "start" ]; then
(
touch "$LOCK_FILE";
systemd-inhibit --what="sleep" \
--who="libvirt" \
--mode="block" \
inotifywait -qq -e delete "$LOCK_FILE"
) & disown $!
exit
fi
if [ "$OPERATION" == "shutdown" ]; then
rm "$LOCK_FILE"
fi
Is there some way to make it so libvirt sees the hook script exiting
and carries on with the rest of its guest startup process even after a
process fork or would that require changes in the internal hook
handling functions?
