More details on the subject:
I suppose it is a nested KVM issue because it raised after I enabled the nested KVM feature. Without it, anyway, the second level VMs are unusable in terms of performance.
I am using CentOS 7 with:
kernel: 3.10.0-327.22.2.el7.x86_64 qemu-kvm:1.5.3-105.el7_2.4 libvirt:1.2.17-13.el7_2.5
on both the baremetal and the compute VM.
The only workaround now is to shutdown the compute VM and start it back from baremetal with virsh start. A simple restart of the compute node doesn't help. It looks like the qemu-kvm process corresponding to the compute VM is the problem.

Hello,
I have an OpenStack setup in virtual environment on CentOS 7.
The baremetal has *nested KVM* enabled and 1 compute node as a VM.
Inside the compute node I have multiple VMs running.
After about every 3 days the VMs get inaccessible and the compute node reports high CPU usage. The qemu-kvm process for each VM inside the compute node reports full CPU usage.
Please help me with some hints to debug this issue.
Thanks, Laurentiu
