A VM list showed what it read when it was loaded: a VM stopped from
inside its guest or with virsh, or made or removed elsewhere, showed only
after a reload, unlike the VM page, which reloads when its VM's state
changes. The lists of all VMs and of one host's VMs now poll the states
of their VMs, at once and then every 5 s as the VM page does, and reload
when an answer differs from the one before. The states come from one
libvirt call per host; a user who does not see hosts gets only their own
VMs. The page in use (a dialog, a field, an unsaved XML edit, a job
outcome shown) holds the reload until it is free; that check is shared
with the job panel.
Since VM creation, clones, migrations and uploads run as jobs, the page
came back before they ended and the job panel then showed the outcome
with a Refresh button: a new VM, for one, showed only after a click. A
job of the page that succeeds without a warning now reloads the page,
which shows what it changed. The outcome box stays, with Refresh, for a
job that failed or warned, and when a reload would lose something: a
dialog open, a field in use, an XML edit not saved, or another job still
running, shown or awaited. A remembered job is taken when the page
renders, so the reload does not see it again.
libvirt's backup copies the disks of a running or paused VM from one
instant into new volumes while it keeps running; the clone is defined
shut off as before. The VM is held for the copy, the copy can be
cancelled, and recovery reads the job's records and libvirt.
Request jobs (an upload's chunks) run in gunicorn: their kind is admitted
running with the request as its worker, never claimed or recovered by the
worker, cancelled in the request, and asked by every housekeeping pass to
end its jobs that went idle. The panel can follow a job the page just
started. A job a request runs does not wait for the worker, so it does not
raise the worker-unavailable warning on the Jobs page or in the panel.
