Hi, > I think that the question we have to answer is: apart from the keyboard > and mouse, is there any device that wants to run while qemu is suspended?
pretty much anything which may wake up the guest. The nics for example for wake-on-lan. I'm not sure whenever they care about the runstate at all though. Mouse and keyboard ignore events when the guest is stopped so if you type into a vnc client for a stopped guest the events wouldn't get queued up and cause unwanted effects when unpausing the guest. When suspended we want forward the events though so wakeup-by-keyboard works. Not sure whenever we have simliar logic elsewhere (like stop queuing network packets when the guest doesn't run). cheers, Gerd
