You're not seeing an error that's causing it to reap it immediately after the fork? > > 2. The manual method of writing to the sysfs is done synchronously. This > means that the command response will only be sent when the guest resumes Want to avoid sync blocking calls as much as possible until timeouts are sorted out, particularly in this case. Currently, with hibernate at least, QEMU will exit (or is something being done to change that behavior?), libvirt will restart the VM later via some other interface, establish a connection to a new monitor and new agent channel, then gets a spurious response from the agent for a command it issue to a different QEMU process far in the past. So the common scenario would need nasty, special handling in libvirt and they'd probably hate us for it. So probably best to stick with your previous approach for now, and look for a glib solution later. > > If you think this approach is acceptable, I'll test it more, update its doc, > etc and post it again. > > diff --git a/qapi-schema-guest.json b/qapi-schema-guest.json > index 5f8a18d..63f65a6 100644 > --- a/qapi-schema-guest.json > +++ b/qapi-schema-guest.json > @@ -219,3 +219,20 @@ > ## > { 'command': 'guest-fsfreeze-thaw', > 'returns': 'int' } > + > +## > +# @guest-suspend > +# > +# Suspend guest execution by entering ACPI power state S3 or S4. > +# > +# @mode: 'hibernate' RAM content is saved in the disk and the guest is > +# powered down (this corresponds to ACPI S4) > +# 'sleep' execution is suspended but the RAM retains its contents > +# (this corresponds to ACPI S3) > +# > +# Notes: This is an asynchronous request.
