Description of the problem:

I run once the VM using ovirt and got following error:

The bug seems to be related to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892240

I am having the same issue for following config:

host:
   kernel 3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64
   qemu-kvm 1.4.2
   kvm module nested virtualization = Y
   cpu sandybridge 
guest L1: 
   cpuflags copied from host config
   kernel   3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64
   qemu-kvm 1.4.2

   module kvm_intel loaded.
guest L2:
   boot

Comment 1 Kashyap Chamarthy 2013-10-08 15:46:57 UTC
Hi Piotr,

As we speak, I'm running some nested virt tests. I have a working environment with these versions:

(same for both L0 and L1):
     $ uname -r; rpm -q qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-kvm
     3.12.0-0.rc3.git1.2.fc21.x86_64
     qemu-kvm-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64
     libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64

Can you try with the above versions and see if you can reproduce?

(The referenced bug also indicates it's working with the newest bits.)

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2013-10-31 20:45:04 UTC

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 922075 ***

Comment 3 Kashyap Chamarthy 2014-07-03 18:48:38 UTC
Cole, Is this really a dupe of 922075? I can't see how, maybe I'm wrong, but I just saw the above trace while doing a different test elsewhere.

Comment 4 Kashyap Chamarthy 2014-07-03 18:50:37 UTC
I hit the above with:

  3.16.0-0.rc1.git2.1.fc21.x86_64
  qemu-2.0.0-4.fc21.x86_64
  libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.5-2.fc21.x86_64

While booting a L1 guest (Fedora 20).

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-07-04 13:15:17 UTC
Unduplicating.  This is a different bug.

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-07-04 13:29:14 UTC
If you look at Appendix C "VMX BASIC EXIT REASONS" in the following
enormous document:

http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/manuals/64-ia-32-architectures-software-developer-manual-325462.pdf

then it *may* be that 0x7 means:

"Interrupt window.
At the beginning of an instruct
ion, RFLAGS.IF was 1; events were not blocked by STI or by MOV
SS; and the “interrupt-window exiting” VM-execution control was 1"

Suggest try using nmi_watchdog=0 on the command line.

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-07-04 13:35:40 UTC
Or maybe it means "VM entry with invalid control field(s)"

Comment 9 Kashyap Chamarthy 2014-11-26 13:25:33 UTC
This is consistently reproducible with Fedora 21's current stable 
Kernel (3.17.3-300.fc21.x86_64) on both L0 and L1, with CPU
host-passthrough on L1 (i.e. QEMU CLI having '-cpu host')

However, this cannot be reproduced with Rawhide versions of Kernel, libvirt, 
QEMU:

  $ uname -r; rpm -q qemu-system-x86 libvirt-daemon-kvm 
  3.18.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc22.x86_64
  qemu-system-x86-2.2.0-0.1.rc1.fc22.x86_64

Comment 10 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 15:07:35 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 11 Cole Robinson 2015-12-30 21:03:28 UTC
Has anyone seen this on f23? This bug has been quiet for a while...

Comment 12 Fabian Deutsch 2016-01-04 11:36:13 UTC
I am on F22 and have not seen this issue lately.

Comment 13 Cole Robinson 2016-01-04 13:14:33 UTC
Thanks, I'll close then. If anyone is still hitting issues, please reopen

Comment 14 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-01-05 14:06:07 UTC
I have not seen this for a long while either.
