[Bug 1915431] Re: QEMU processes started by Acceptance Tests are left running

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.

If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
then please close this ticket as "Fix released".

If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
valid, then you have two options:

1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
for this problem in our new tracker here:

    https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues

and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.

2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
anymore).

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  QEMU processes started by Acceptance Tests are left running

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Every now and then, QEMU processes started by the Acceptance Tests
  (thus by Avocado) will be left running.

  From Avocado's perspective, when everything "goes well" and a test
  reaches completion, there's no attempt to terminate any processes it
  indirectly started.  Some frameworks and tests built on top of
  Avocado, for instance Avocado-VT, will keep processes running between
  various tests.

  When a job (and consequently a test) is manually interrupted, then
  Avocado tries to terminate the entire process tree.

  It may be possible to improve the situation in which, at the very least, the 
user is:
   * notified of left over processes
   * have a configuration option that will attempt to kill all processes at the 
end of the test execution
