RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Laurent Vivier 2017-11-24 10:24:33 UTC 
There is no "nested" parameter for kvm on POWER. So I think we can just remove the file.
Comment 3 Laurent Vivier 2017-11-24 10:50:17 UTC 
Adding cc: Eric Auger as the problem is the same for aarch64
Comment 6 Miroslav Rezanina 2017-11-28 10:53:19 UTC 
Fix included in qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-9.el7
Comment 7 Qunfang Zhang 2017-11-29 07:58:51 UTC 
Verified qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-9.el7 on Power8,9, s390x and x86_84:

(1) Power:

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf 
#
# User changes in this file are preserved across upgrades.
#

Also checked s390x and x86_64:

(2) s390x:

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf 
# Setting "modprobe kvm nested=1" only enables Nested Virtualization until
# the next reboot or module reload. Uncomment the option below to enable
# the feature permanently.
#
# User changes in this file are preserved across upgrades.
#
#options kvm nested=1

(3) x86_64:
# cat /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf 
# Setting modprobe kvm_intel/kvm_amd nested = 1
# only enables Nested Virtualization until the next reboot or
# module reload. Uncomment the option applicable
# to your system below to enable the feature permanently.
#
# User changes in this file are preserved across upgrades.
#
# For Intel
#options kvm_intel nested=1
#
# For AMD
#options kvm_amd nested=1


Based on above, the issue is fixed.  Thanks!
