From 509c75ea198fe524adaf90ca1021487b733447ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nadav Har'El <nyh@il.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2011 11:54:52 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: nVMX: Fix bug preventing more than two levels of nesting The nested VMX feature is supposed to fully emulate VMX for the guest. This (theoretically) not only allows it to run its own guests, but also also to further emulate VMX for its own guests, and allow arbitrarily deep nesting. This patch fixes a bug (discovered by Kevin Tian) in handling a VMLAUNCH by L2, which prevented deeper nesting. Deeper nesting now works (I only actually tested L3), but is currently *absurdly* slow, to the point of being unusable.
