commit 63aff65573d73eb8dda4732ad4ef222dd35e4862 upstream. VPID for the nested vcpu is allocated at vmx_create_vcpu whenever nested vmx is turned on with the module parameter. However, it's only freed if the L1 guest has executed VMXON which is not a given. As a result, on a system with nested==on every creation+deletion of an L1 vcpu without running an L2 guest results in leaking one vpid. Since the total number of vpids is limited to 64k, they can eventually get exhausted, preventing L2 from starting. Delay allocation of the L2 vpid until VMXON emulation, thus matching its freeing.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
