Bug ID: 1614615
Summary: "How to enable nested virtualization in KVM" page
incorrectly describes sysfs nested parameter
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: virtualization-guide
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: cela(a)mit.edu
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: docs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, lnovich(a)redhat.com,
zach(a)oglesby.co
Description of problem:
The documentation at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualizati...
states that /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested reports whether or not
nested virtualization is supported. This is incorrect; it reports whether or
not nested virtualization is enabled on the kvm_intel or kvm_amd kernel module.
How reproducible:
always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) use an intel system that supports virtualization
2) load the kvm_intel module normally
3) cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
4) unlock kvm_intel
5) load kvm_intel with nested=Y
6) cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
Actual results:
The first 'cat' command displays 'N'. The second 'cat' command
display 'Y'. The
documentation says that 'N' as a result of the first 'cat' command implies
that
nested virtualization is not supported, but the second 'cat' command
demonstrates that it is.
Expected results:
The documentation should correctly describe that, if the first 'cat' command
produces 'N', it means that nested virtualization is disabled, not that nested
virtualization is not supported.
