VMware with the Kernel 5.0 patches fails to compile vmmon<\/strong>, but thanks to Michal Kube\u010dek<\/span>, a fix is currently available at https:\/\/github.com\/mkubecek\/vmware-host-modules\/tree\/workstation-15.0.3-test<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 I have applied this, and VMware 15.0.3 compiles and loads\/runs OK with Kernel 5.1-rc1.<\/p>\n

It seems that ‘list_is_first<\/span><\/strong>‘ is now already defined in the latest kernel code, so a simple fix is to rename it in the NVIDIA source to something more unique..<\/p>\n
I appears in ~\/nvidia-uvm\/uvm8_range_tree.c<\/span><\/strong> and ~\/common\/inc\/nv-list-helpers.h<\/span><\/strong> , so I just renamed each occurrence from ‘list_is_first<\/span>‘ <\/strong>to ‘nv_list_is_first<\/span><\/strong>‘, and the compile continued OK past the previous error point, but then failed later:<\/p>\n
