Summary0010198: qemu-guest-agent.service consumes 99–100% CPU on Rocky Linux (used in NCP cloud environment)
DescriptionWe are using Rocky Linux as our base OS on Naver Cloud Platform (NCP). After a certain uptime period, we noticed that qemu-guest-agent.service begins to consume an unusually high amount of CPU (99~100%) continuously. The issue persists even after reinstalling the service. Only rebooting the server restores normal behavior temporarily.

We would like to understand why this might occur and whether there is an upstream issue with the qemu-guest-agent in Rocky Linux.
Steps To ReproduceProvision a Rocky Linux server (on NCP)

Let the server run for several days without reboot

Observe the CPU usage via top or htop

qemu-guest-agent process consumes full CPU over time
