RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Actual results:
sub-daemon except virtqemdu will exit after timeout period even there are running domains or related resources. So should update the description of --timeout.


Expected results:

Comment 1 Peter Krempa 2022-01-19 17:14:43 UTC 
Per discussion upstream, adding a blanket vague description of the timeout is not desired:

Pre-verified with libvirt-9.2.0-1.el9.x86_64.

Test steps:
1.Check --timeout description for virtqemud:
#man virtqemud
...
-t, --timeout *SECONDS*

       Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are neither any client connections nor any running domains.

2.Check --timeout description for other sub-daemons except virtsecrtd:
#man virtnetworkd
..
-t, --timeout *SECONDS*

       Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are no client connections.

3.Check --timeout description for virtsecretd:
#man virtsecretd
...
-t, --timeout *SECONDS*

       Exit  after  timeout period (in seconds), provided there are neither any client con‐
       nections nor any ephemeral secrets.
