Twitter user stintel, in this thread: https://twitter.com/stintel/status/948499157282623488 mentions a possible problem with the new patches and the nvidia driver: "As if the @Intel bug isn't bad enough, #KPTI renders @nvidia driver incompatible due to GPL-only symbol 'cpu_tlbstate'. #epicfail" Also: https://twitter.com/tomasz_gwozdz/status/948590364679655429 https://twitter.com/BitsAndChipsEng/status/948578609761054721 Cheers, Zube ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This includes running under KVM with vfio passthrough. jh ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
