Subject: [PATCH v3 hci-8.0/hci-8.1 5/6] i386: keep v-vmsave-vmload for nested AMD guests on vz types up to vz9.2.0 #VSTOR-152264
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 13:25:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029122527.365104-6-den@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029122527.365104-1-den@openvz.org>
From: Denis V. Lunev <den@openvz.org>
On Zen 4 client parts (family 19h models 0x18-0x1f and 0x60-0x7f) the
6.12 kernel clears virtualized VMSAVE/VMLOAD in init_amd_zen4(): some
BIOS versions advertise it, and it can lead to random host reboots.
KVM then stops offering v-vmsave-vmload. A nested guest (svm=on)
started before has it in its CPUID, and QEMU filters it on such a host,
so migration, restore and snapshot revert fail.
Add x-v-vmsave-vmload-compat and turn it on in pc_vz_9_2_compat: an
AMD guest keeps a requested v-vmsave-vmload. This does not turn host
VLS back on: KVM keeps intercepting VMLOAD and VMSAVE of the nested
guest and emulates them (nested_vmcb_needs_vls_intercept()), which is
only slower.
