I am noticing several QEMU machines hang while shutting down after this
change as commit 8064952c6504 ("driver core: shut down devices
asynchronously") in -next. An easy test case due to the size of the
configuration:
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- mrproper virtconfig Image.gz
$ curl -LSs https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/boot-utils/releases/download/20230707-182910/arm64-rootfs.cpio.zst | zstd -d >rootfs.cpio
$ timeout --foreground 3m \
qemu-system-aarch64 \
-display none \
-nodefaults \
-cpu max,pauth-impdef=true \
-machine virt,gic-version=max,virtualization=true \
-append 'console=ttyAMA0 earlycon' \
-kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz \
-initrd rootfs.cpio \
-m 512m \
-serial mon:stdio

The system is going down NOW!
Sent SIGTERM to all processes
Sent SIGKILL to all processes
Requesting system poweroff
qemu-system-aarch64: terminating on signal 15 from pid 2753792 (timeout)
At the parent commit, there are the following two prints after
"Requesting system poweroff" then the machine properly shuts down:
[ 3.411387] kvm: exiting hardware virtualization
[ 3.411741] reboot: Power down
If there is any other information I can provide or patches that I can
test, I am more than happy to do so.
Cheers,
Nathan
