that not the reason, rhel based distos disabel nested virt on amd by
default if i recall correctly and you have to explicitly enabled it.
its not supported on RHEL and is considered tech preview as there are several
know bugs.
intel is also not supported downstream for production workload however it much
more mature and i bleive its enabled by defuat.
nova is not filtering out svm.
setting cpu_mode=none effectively is the same as cpu_mode=host-model
so either libvirt is disbalinging it or its a kernel default issue.
in either case i don't think this is a valid nova bug.

Title:
AMD server do not support nested virtualization
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
Invalid
Bug description:
From Linux kernel v4.19 onwards, the nested KVM parameter is enabled
by default for Intel and AMD. (Though your Linux distribution might
override this default, here is the official documentation of this:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.7/virt/kvm/running-nested-
guests.html
We are using OpenStack Zed on CentOS 9 and the VM is running on AMD
compute nodes, and the kernel version is: 5.14.0-386.el9.x86_64.
When we created an instance on AMD server and set the "cpu_mode" to
"none", we found that the "svm" feature is passed to the instance XML
on libvirt, but when we execu "lscpu" inside the VM, we can not see
the "svm" feature, so we could not create a L2 instance inside the VM.
However, when we set the "cpu_mode" to "host-passthrough" and hard
reboot the VM, the "svm" is set correctly within the VM.
For intel servers, we can create nested instances by default, and the
"cpu_mode" is also set to "none", and everything works well.
We guess it might because of some CPU feature dependencies which cause
this issue. Can you help us to take a look? Thanks
