Hmm, unlikely - I just double-confirmed that I'm running the same patched Kernel (3.20.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc23.x86_64) on both L0 and L1. > > . . . > > [< 57.747345>] ------------[ cut here ]------------ > > [< 0.004638>] WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 50206 at arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c:8962 nested_vmx_vmexit+0x7ee/0x880 [kvm_intel]() > > [< 0.060404>] CPU: 5 PID: 50206 Comm: qemu-system-x86 Not tainted 3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64 #1 > > This looks like a new backtrace, but the kernel is not [2]. Err, looks like I pasted the wrong one, but here it is again. I just tested with the patched Kernel (that I linked below) on both L0 and L1, the same behavior (L1 reboot on L2 boot) manifests: . . .
