Hello Mauricio,

thanks for providing the nova patch. It worked as expected.


I installed on a node with xsaves enabled and updated nova.conf 

# dpkg -l | grep nova
ii  nova-api-metadata                     2:21.2.4-0ubuntu2.7~ppa3              
               all          OpenStack Compute - metadata API frontend
ii  nova-common                           2:21.2.4-0ubuntu2.7~ppa3              
               all          OpenStack Compute - common files
ii  nova-compute                          2:21.2.4-0ubuntu2.7~ppa3              
               all          OpenStack Compute - compute node base
ii  nova-compute-kvm                      2:21.2.4-0ubuntu2.7~ppa3              
               all          OpenStack Compute - compute node (KVM)
ii  nova-compute-libvirt                  2:21.2.4-0ubuntu2.7~ppa3              
               all          OpenStack Compute - compute node libvirt support
ii  python3-nova                          2:21.2.4-0ubuntu2.7~ppa3              
               all          OpenStack Compute Python 3 libraries


# grep cpu_model /etc/nova/nova.conf
cpu_model = EPYC-Rome
cpu_model_extra_flags = -xsaves

Then I restarted nova-compute.

I had the following VM running which was using xsaves:

# virsh dumpxml instance-001499b6 | grep xsaves
<feature policy='require' name='xsaves'/>


I stopped/started the VM and the xsaves feature was disabled after that 

# virsh dumpxml instance-001499b6 | grep xsaves
<feature policy='disable' name='xsaves'/>


and that allowed me to migrate the VM to a node with xsaves disabled (newer 
kernel)

I think next step should be to start SRU process for this patch,
correct?


Thanks,
Giuseppe
