Hi! If we suspend a LXC domain libvirt freezes all tasks in the cgroup using the process freezer. Upon destroy libvirt tries to kill all tasks using SIGTERM and later SIGKILL, but as they are frozen the tasks are unkillable. This seems to confuse libvirt, all tasks remain but libvirt forgets the domain. Here a small example: ---cut--- lxc-host1:/etc # /opt/libvirt-dev/bin/virsh domstate my3rdcontainer paused lxc-host1:/etc # /opt/libvirt-dev/bin/virsh destroy my3rdcontainer error: Failed to destroy domain my3rdcontainer error: internal error: Some processes refused to die lxc-host1:/etc # ps fax ... 2118 ?

Ds 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/sshd -D ... ---cut--- I can think of three options to deal with that. a) Refuse to destroy a suspended LXC domain b) Implicitly resume it upon destroy c) Send a SIGKILL to each task and then thaw all tasks using the process freezer. If the task is woken up the it sees immediately the pending SIGKILL and dies. I'd vote for c) because I want to destroy a LXC domain without resuming it. I.e. I want to kill it to avoid any further IO from the already suspended domain.
Yeah, I also vote for c).
What do you think? I'd volunteer for a patch. :)
