Patch for Vmware 12.1.1 Kernel 4.9
Note: User at your own risk !
Vmware 12.1 modules compilation is broke since kernel 4.9. Here’s a quick and dirty patch I came up with after failing to find a solution.
Usage
-
Go to vmware modules source directory
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/
- two variables(write, force) replaced with gup_flags
- gup flags used like this unsigned int flags = 0;
flags |= FOLL_WRITE
1, 0, pvec + pinned ---> flags, pvec + pinned
1e9877902d (diff-e37c5ffd9b4db050c3f7eae7d74e64c3R1230)
write, force, pages --> flags(write=1,force=0)
flags: the flags must be write only and not force
FOLL_WRITE
