[CI] nested virtualization support in OpenStack CI
Hi, OpenStack CI runs on VM, which is not nested virtualization as: 2019-03-27 06:45:07.282 | flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl cpuid pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes hypervisor lahf_lm pti however, I want to add new CI which depends on nested virtualization. which team can help me? Thanks, -Ruijing
Hi there, We have worked with infra to make this available, it seems to have been reasonable stable but it recently started crashing because of a new Linux kernel in Ubuntu. I do not have time to look into it, however, I would totally be up to help you if you want to dig into this issue. Are you available on IRC? :) Thanks, Mohammed On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 9:52 PM Guo, Ruijing <ruijing.guo@intel.com> wrote:

Hi there,
We have worked with infra to make this available, it seems to have been reasonable stable but it recently started crashing because of a new Linux kernel in Ubuntu. I do not have time to look into it, however, I would totally be up to help you if you want to dig into this issue. for what its worth using the mainline 5.0 kernel form the ubunut mainline kernel ppa fixed all my nested virt issue on ubunut. not i installed
