From 19d55e2031f2473a65ffc11aff5b1059e7c4173b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kurz Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 19:11:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spapr: Forbid nested KVM-HV in pre-power9 compat mode Nested KVM HV only works if the kernel is using the radix MMU mode, ie. the CPU is POWER9 and it is not running in some pre-power9 compat mode. Otherwise, the KVM HV module fails to load in the guest with -ENODEV. It might be painful for a user to discover this late that nested cannot work with their setup. Erroring out at machine init instead seems to be the best we can do.
