      I am asking in the context of https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-82193 / https://github.com/ClusterLabs/fence-agents/pull/616 .
      If I have a completely uncooperative vm like

      apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1
kind: VirtualMachine
metadata:
  name: emptyvm
spec:
  runStrategy: Always
  template:
    spec:
      domain:
        devices:
          disks:
          - disk:
              bus: virtio
            name: emptydisk
          rng: {}
        features:
          acpi: {}
          smm:
            enabled: true
        firmware:
          bootloader:
            efi:
              secureBoot: true
        resources:
          requests:
            memory: 1Gi
      terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 180
      volumes:
      - emptyDisk:
          capacity: 1Gi
        name: emptydisk

      even

      virtctl stop --force --grace-period 0 emptyvm

      seems like to wait for the full 180 seconds grace period. Is this expected, or is there an alternative way of stopping the VM more quickly?

      dholler@t14:~$ virtctl start emptyvm
VM emptyvm was scheduled to start
dholler@t14:~$ oc get -o yaml vmi/emptyvm | grep terminationGracePeriodSeconds
  terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 180
dholler@t14:~$ virtctl stop --force --grace-period 0 emptyvm
VM emptyvm was scheduled to stop
dholler@t14:~$ oc get -o yaml vmi/emptyvm | grep terminationGracePeriodSeconds
  terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 0
dholler@t14:~$ virtctl version

      on cnv2:

      OpenShift Virtualization
4.19.1-24 provided by Red Hat

      Current behavior: the VM waited for the full initial grace period to be stoped
      Expected behavior: the VM is stoped instantly
