##
# @YankInstance:
#
# A yank instance can be yanked with the @yank qmp command to recover
# from a hanging QEMU.
#
# @type: yank instance type
#
# Currently implemented yank instances:
#
# - nbd block device: Yanking it will shut down the connection to the
#   nbd server without attempting to reconnect.
# - socket chardev: Yanking it will shut down the connected socket.
# - migration: Yanking it will shut down all migration connections.
#   Unlike @migrate_cancel, it will not notify the migration process,
#   so migration will go into @failed state, instead of @cancelled
#   state.  @yank should be used to recover from hangs.
#
# Since: 6.0
