Hi,

if a domain is paused (= not scheduled), its process that keeps otherwise kicking /dev/watchdog and (thusly the hypervisor) "freezes" too. Should pausing a domain suspend (or "inactivate") its watchdog_timers?

(I believe this must have been considered and the answer is "you shouldn't do that", but a confirmation/refutation would be nice.)

Thanks
L.
