[Bug 1614615] New: "How to enable nested virtualization in KVM" page incorrectly describes sysfs nested parameter

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1614615 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
