As reported in #4474 [0], a user may attempt to shutdown a VM/CT, realize that it is unresponsive, and decide to stop it instead. If the shutdown task has not timed out yet, the stop task will fail. The user needs to manually abort the shutdown task before stopping the VM, which is inconvenient.
With this patch series, a stop task can optionally overrule active shutdown tasks. Summary of changes: * Backend: ** In the LXC status API handlers, we move config locking from the API handlers into workers to avoid blocking, as suggested by Wolfgang on v1. ** We add a new optional `overrule-shutdown` parameter to VM/CT `/stop` endpoints. If it is 1, we query for active `qmshutdown`/`vzshutdown` tasks by the current user for the given VMID, and abort them before attempting to stop the VM/CT. * Frontend: Issuing a stop command shows a confirmation message box that, if an active shutdown task for that guest is detected, shows a default-on checkbox that offers to overrule active shutdown tasks. If it is checked, the API request is sent with `overrule-shutdown=1`. Tested with a hung CentOS 7 container and a SeaBIOS VM without a bootable disk. Changes v1 -> v2: * fixed patch ordering, as suggested by Wolfgang on v1 * added a pve-container patch that moves config locking from API handlers into workers for start/stop/shutdown/suspend, as suggested by Wolfgang on v1 * instead of showing a second modal dialog when stopping a guest, show a "guest stop" message box that has an optional checkbox offering to overrule shutdown tasks * split pve-manager patch in two [0]: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4474 guest-common: Friedrich Weber (1): guest helpers: add helper to overrule active tasks of a specific type src/PVE/GuestHelpers.pm | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) container: Friedrich Weber (2): api: status: move config locking from API handler into worker fix #4474: lxc api: add overrule-shutdown parameter to stop endpoint src/PVE/API2/LXC/Status.pm | 107 ++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 59 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-) qemu-server: Friedrich Weber (1): fix #4474: qemu api: add overrule-shutdown parameter to stop endpoint PVE/API2/Qemu.pm | 16 +++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) manager: Friedrich Weber (2): ui: fix typo to make pve-cluster-tasks store globally available fix #4474: ui: guest stop: offer to overrule active shutdown tasks www/manager6/Makefile | 1 + www/manager6/dc/Tasks.js | 2 +- www/manager6/lxc/CmdMenu.js | 8 +++- www/manager6/lxc/Config.js | 8 ++-- www/manager6/qemu/CmdMenu.js | 8 +++- www/manager6/qemu/Config.js | 8 ++-- www/manager6/window/GuestStop.js | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) create mode 100644 www/manager6/window/GuestStop.js Summary over all repositories: 10 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) -- Generated by git-murpp 0.5.0 _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
