Kernel – 5.19-rc1 Released. OK With Patched VMware, and a Hack for NVIDIA..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 5, 2022 by RGJune 5, 2022

Kernel 5.19-rc1 is out, and details are here:  https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2206.0/04428.html There is a patchset for VMware 16.2.3, at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/tmp/workstation-16.2.3-k5.19 .   I have tested this with 5.19-rc1, and VMware compiles and loads/runs OK. The latest NVIDIA driver (515.48.07) compile fails, but a hack is to edit NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.48.07/kernel/nvidia-drm/nvidia-dma-resv-helper.h and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-515.48.07/kernel/nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-prime-fence.c and change nv_dma_resv_add_excl_fence to dma_resv_add_excl_fence After this, the driver compiles … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 22, 2022 by RGMay 22, 2022

Kernel 5.18 is out, and brief details are here:   https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2205.2/08834.html As expected, the latest NVIDIA driver – 515.43.04 – compiles and loads/runs OK, and the 5.18-patched vmmon/vmnet for VMware 16.2.3 is OK.    The VMware patchset for 5.18 is still at https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/tmp/workstation-16.2.3-k5.18 , but the changes should eventually be applied to the standard 16.2.3 patch.

From the patch for kernel 5.17 support and driver 470.94, at https://gist.github.com/joanbm/6c7b027b9436bf31ce979927e544e9d5 it seemed that the changes necessary should be simple.. In fact this patch can be used, with the following change.. … Continue reading →
