[SOLVED] VMWARE workstation 12 version Install

Hello to Archlinux support when i try to install vmware i got this problem

[evgnc@localhost ~]$ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

READ IT PLEASE: I tried all the stuff that archforum recommend me here and in AUR sources of information search too. Can somebody explain me what's going on here? As i see here is a problem with vmnet.ko

My started services:

My current kernel version is 4.4.1-2-ARCH
Should i downgrade kernel to < 4.2?

I'm not at all familiar with VMWare, but I'd say the issue is related to an error in that header file (vmnetInt.h).
Is the file still there? The error message discards the remaining part of the invocation of sk_alloc on lines 84++ (but I'm going to assume the error message is right).

So... looks like a bug to me, but I can't tell much more without seeing the file in question.

Re: [SOLVED] VMWARE workstation 12 version Install

Well, you could post the affected lines of vmnetInt.h for a start. didn't hit "preview" smile

And maybe also file a bug report upstream.

EDIT Alright, from a quick glance at the link above, it seems that the said file does not contain anything related to that message on lines 84++. I'm unfortunately out of ideas here.

Re: [SOLVED] VMWARE workstation 12 version Install

That's not the right file, though it is similarly named (vnetInt.h, rather than vmnetInt.h).

In the vmnetInt.h file, you should have the following conditional:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 2, 0)
#   define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(&init_net, \
                                                PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#elif defined(VMW_NETDEV_HAS_NET)
#   define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(&init_net, \
                                                PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto)
#else
#   define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#endif

Whether or not you have to add this yourself, or it was added in an update, I can't remember.

Re: [SOLVED] VMWARE workstation 12 version Install

Solution was here https://communities.vmware.com/thread/5 … 0&tstart=0

Thank you craigacgomez

Now, in vmnetInt.h, this is how sk_alloc is called

extern struct proto vmnet_proto;
#ifdef VMW_NETDEV_HAS_NET
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(&init_net, \
                                                PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto)
#else
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#endif

And for kernel 4.2rc1+, I made this change according to the method signature for sk_alloc in include/net/sock.h [struct sock *sk_alloc(struct net *net, int family, gfp_t priority, struct proto *prot, int kern]

extern struct proto vmnet_proto;
#ifdef VMW_NETDEV_HAS_NET
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(&init_net, \
                                                PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#else
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#endif

Thank you ALL who tried to help me, it really helps me ALOT!

Re: [SOLVED] VMWARE workstation 12 version Install

Out of interest, could you post the contents of your /usr/lib/modules/4.4.1-2-ARCH/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h

To clarify, the conditional I posted should check whether your kernel version is equal to, or greater than 4.2.0, and if it is, use the appropriate compat_sk_alloc definition. Your kernel version, for some reason, was being treated as lower than 4.2.0, so it was using the wrong compat_sk_alloc definition.

Re: [SOLVED] VMWARE workstation 12 version Install

Thanks. That's identical to my own, which has no problem building the modules, so I'm stumped.

Oh well, at least you found a workaround that works for you.

Thank you craigacgomez

Now, in vmnetInt.h, this is how sk_alloc is called

extern struct proto vmnet_proto;
#ifdef VMW_NETDEV_HAS_NET
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(&init_net, \
                                                PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto)
#else
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#endif

And for kernel 4.2rc1+, I made this change according to the method signature for sk_alloc in include/net/sock.h [struct sock *sk_alloc(struct net *net, int family, gfp_t priority, struct proto *prot, int kern]

extern struct proto vmnet_proto;
#ifdef VMW_NETDEV_HAS_NET
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(&init_net, \
                                                PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#else
#  define compat_sk_alloc(_bri, _pri) sk_alloc(PF_NETLINK, _pri, &vmnet_proto, 1)
#endif

Thank you ALL who tried to help me, it really helps me ALOT!
