A rather annoying and common case is when booting a PVonHVM guest and exposing the PV KBD and PV VFB - as broken toolstacks don't always initialize the backends correctly. Normally The HVM guest is using the VGA driver and the emulated keyboard for this (though upstream version of QEMU implements PV KBD, but still uses a VGA driver). We provide a very basic two-stage wait mechanism - where we wait for 30 seconds for all devices, and then for 270 for all them except the two mentioned. That allows us to wait for the essential devices, like network or disk for the full 6 minutes. To trigger this, put this in your guest config: vfb = [ 'vnc=1, vnclisten=0.0.0.0 ,vncunused=1'] instead of this: vnc=1 vnclisten="0.0.0.0" CC: stable@kernel.org Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> [v3: Split delay in non-essential (30 seconds) and essential devices per Ian and Stefano suggestion] [v4: Added comments per Stefano suggestion] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> |
