[PATCH v4 4/4] hw/misc/pvpanic: add support for normal shutdowns
Posted by Thomas Weißschuh 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Shutdown requests are normally hardware dependent.
By extending pvpanic to also handle shutdown requests, guests can
submit such requests with an easily implementable and cross-platform
mechanism.

I would suggest that instead of directly requesting a system shutdown, we should follow the same convention/handling of the other pvpanic events and emit a QMP message signaling the specific event that took place, to help a management layer application that might be listening to determine the cause of the shutdown. It can also be a helpful signal to let us know if a guest is (ab)using the new functionality.

If you agree with my reasoning and you'd allow me to piggyback on your series, please add my complementary [PATCH 5/4] change that implements the suggestion:

Subject: [PATCH 5/4] pvpanic: Emit GUEST_PVSHUTDOWN QMP event on pvpanic
  shutdown signal

Emit a QMP event on receiving a PVPANIC_SHUTDOWN event. Even though a typical
SHUTDOWN event will be sent, it will be indistinguishable from a shutdown
originating from other cases (e.g. KVM exit due to KVM_SYSTEM_EVENT_SHUTDOWN)
that also issue the guest-shutdown cause.
A management layer application can detect the new GUEST_PVSHUTDOWN event to
determine if the guest is using the pvpanic interface to request shutdowns.

This sounds reasonable, thanks for the suggestion and patch.

I picked up the patch and will test and resend the series in a few days.

If one of the maintainers reads this:

Maybe patch 1, 2 and 3 could already be picked up as they seem not to be
controversial.
Then I can also continue to remove the UAPI header on the kernel side.

Not deeply involved with this, but looks reasonable to me.
