[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu 1/2] fix #4476: savevm-async: avoid looping without progress

[Fiona Ebner]

Should we include this before rolling out QEMU 7.2 to public
repositories? Will always trigger with large disk(s), when doing a PBS
backup and at any later time a snapshot/hibernation. It's not a new
problem, but there were a few reports recently, and 7.2-rollout seems
like a good time.
