[opensuse-factory] Issues with vboxsf (virtualbox-guest) and Kernel > 4.10
Hi all, i wonder, if nobody else has issues with vboxsf and Kernel > 4.10; tw runs in the latest virtualbox on win. I honestly don't know when they arised, must be 3 days ago. vboxsf complains (via dmesg) and doesn't work: vboxsf: Unknown symbol readlink_copy (err 0) virtualbox-guest-kmp-default is the latest (5.1.14_k4.10.1_1-2.11) from factory-rep, kernel now from today 4.10.1-1.1 Was trying to build the virtualbox-guest stuff from the with virtualbox provided package, which complains about missing generic_readlink, which was basically killed with kernel 4.10 (right ?). Thanx for helput, cheers JJ -- Jörg Jung, Dipl. Inf.

Yes, the generic_readlink code was changed in the 4.10 kernel. I made changes that allowed a build under kernel 4.10, but I failed to note that this resulted in a missing global for vboxsf. An updated virtualbox package is currently building on my local system, and a revised package should be ready in a few hours. It will, however, take some time for that to propagate through the system. To help the process, please file a bug at https://bugzilla.suse.com against virtualbox, and assign it to me.
