Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Documentation: Fix documentation for nested.
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2021 23:47:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210128154747.4242-1-yu.c.zhang@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Nested VMX was enabled by default in commit <1e58e5e59148> ("KVM:
VMX: enable nested virtualization by default"), which was merged
in Linux 4.20. This patch is to fix the documentation accordingly.
