https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203477 Bug ID: 203477 Summary: [AMD][KVM] Windows L1 guest becomes extremely slow and unusable after enabling Hyper-V Product: Virtualization Version: unspecified Kernel Version: Debian 4.19.28-2~bpo9+1 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: kvm Assignee: virtualization_kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: hjc@xxxxxx Regression: No Created attachment 282583 --> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=282583&action=edit libvirt XML I'm not sure if it is a supported scenario to run Hyper-V inside KVM, however this worked for me on Intel platform, and I only have this issue on AMD Ryzen. After enabling Hyper-V feature in Windows guest, I could successfully boot into Windows L1 guest desktop, however after that the L1 guest system consumes all available CPU cores, freezes and becomes unusable.
