This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tools/kvm_stat: Add restart delay to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tools-kvm_stat-add-restart-delay.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a93d6581a1490a1b58d09fc51a12f8987e1d5a19 Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 25 13:29:49 2021 +0100 tools/kvm_stat: Add restart delay [ Upstream commit 75f94ecbd0dfd2ac4e671f165f5ae864b7301422 ] If this service is enabled and the system rebooted, Systemd's initial attempt to start this unit file may fail in case the kvm module is not loaded. Since we did not specify a delay for the retries, Systemd restarts with a minimum delay a number of times before giving up and disabling the service. Which means a subsequent kvm module load will have kvm running without monitoring. Adding a delay to fix this.
