I don’t (anymore, but could prior to my fix).
The trigger is MatMatMult() with MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX in PCSetUp_LSC().
Reproducible with:
diff --git a/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex27.c b/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex27.c
index 116b7df8522..9bdf4d7334a 100644
--- a/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex27.c
+++ b/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex27.c
@@ -245,2 +245,5 @@ int main(int argc, char **args)
     PetscCall(MatCreateNest(PETSC_COMM_WORLD, 2, NULL, 2, NULL, array, &C));
+    Mat D;
+    PetscCall(MatMatMult(C, C, MAT_INITIAL_MATRIX, PETSC_DECIDE, &D));
+    PetscCall(MatDestroy(&D));
     if (!sbaij) PetscCall(MatNestSetVecType(C, VECNEST));
Which now generates:
$ ./ex27 -f ${DATAFILESPATH}/matrices/farzad_B_rhs -truncate -solve_augmented 
Failed to load RHS, so use a vector of all ones.
Failed to load initial guess, so use a vector of all zeros.
[0]PETSC ERROR: --------------------- Error Message --------------------------------------------------------------
[0]PETSC ERROR: No support for this operation for this object type
[0]PETSC ERROR: MatProduct AB not supported for nest and nest
[0]PETSC ERROR: See https://petsc.org/release/faq/ for trouble shooting.

Thanks,
Pierre

> Hi all,
> I am trying to solve linear systems arising from isogeometric discretization (similar to FEM) of the Navier-Stokes equations in parallel using PETSc. The linear systems are of saddle-point type, so I would like to use the PCFIELDSPLIT preconditioner with the -pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point option, Schur complement factorization and the LSC Schur complement preconditioner. I do not provide any user-defined operators for PCLSC in my codes (at least for now).
> I store the matrix as a MATNEST consisting of 4 blocks (F for velocity-velocity part, Bt for velocity-pressure part, B for pressure-velocity part and NULL for pressure-pressure part). It is also convenient for me to store the blocks F, Bt and B as another MATNEST consisting of blocks corresponding to individual velocity components.
