Hello all.
I'm trying to workaround the problem reported here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1198
but I did not find out how to start up the VM with the option -machine
smm=off like sead on the lsit above.
I guess that it is possible to run the command using the qemu command but I
think that I will lose the management of it.
It is possible to startup up a VM with this option using the oVirt GUI ou
virsh?
Best regards

I think oVirt allows you only to modify the corresponding "-cpu ..."
options for the corresponding qemu-system-x86_64 executable through edit vm
--> custom properties --> add extra_cpu_flags custom property.
The "-machine ..." options are indirectly set when you choose between
I440FX or one of the Q35 options in Chipset/Firmware Type.
That said, it seems the bug you pointed out has been fixed in kernel 6.2
What kind of OS/kernel are you using in your hypervisors?
Eg in CentOS Stream 9 it seems it has been fixed since 5.14.0-275.el9

Hello,
Did you ever manage to find a workaround to change this parameter? I have a system that is
disconnected and is unable to take a kernel update that may address this so I'm
attempting the workaround as indicated in the issue. kvm.tdp_mmu is N (verified from
/sys/module/kvm/parameters/tdp_mmu) but I'm getting stuck trying to figure out how to
modify the qemu option "-machine smm=off" like you said.
