Subject: KVM Nested L2 guest startup problems

Hi all,
I have a problem running the latest version of kvm with nested configuration.
I used to run it with kernel 3.2.2 both for L0 and L1, which works perfectly.
When I change my L0 to kernel 3.10.36, L1 to kernel 3.12.10.
When I start L2 guest in L1 with qemu-kvm. I get the following error
from the qemu-kvm.
<log>
KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x0

</log>

In L0, the kernel gives me error like:
<log>
[310681.735709] nested_vmx_exit_handled failed vm entry 7
</log>

I am wondering anyone has met the similar problem.

Best Wishes,
Yaohui
