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@redhat.com Reporter: cela@mit.edu QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: docs@lists.fedoraproject.org, lnovich@redhat.com, zach@oglesby.co
Description of problem:
The documentation at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/using-nested-virtualization-... 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.
