The kernel patches floating about on various lists replace a removed function that has been obsoleted. Namely this one:
static inline atomic_t *skb_datarefp(struct sk_buff *skb) { return (atomic_t *)(skb->end); }
Whilst this is easy to replace, the correct fix would be to fix the vmware modules not to use this function, and instead use the new equivalent, which is &skb_shinfo(skb)->dataref
You are obviously far more knowledgeable than I Dave, but FWIW, using vanilla kernels with 7.0, I found that I did not need this patch until I installed 2.4.4.
