global_page_state() was renamed to global_zone_page_state() by commit
c41f012ade0b ("mm: rename global_page_state to global_zone_page_state").
However, some more changes are needed (and were in fact needed even with
kernels older than 4.14.
Since commit 385386cff4c6 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
node counters") in v4.13-rc1, NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE needs to be used with
global_node_page_state(), in-tree callers were fixed by commit d507e2ebd2c7
("mm: fix global NR_SLAB_.*CLAIMABLE counter reads").
Since commit 599d0c954f91 ("mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node") in
v4.8-rc1, NR_UNEVICTABLE needs global_node_page_state() rather than
global_page_state().
Since commit 50658e2e04c1 ("mm: move page mapped accounting to the node")
in v4.8-rc1, NR_ANON_PAGES needs global_node_page_state() as well. This was
shortly before it was renamed to NR_ANON_MAPPED but as both got into
mainline in v4.8-rc1, we can do with one #ifdef.
To keep HostIF_EstimateLockedPageLimit() readable, extract the version
dependent calls into inline helpers.
This repository tracks patches needed to build VMware (Player and
Workstation) host modules against recent kernels. As it focuses on recent
kernels (older ones do not need patching), only vmmon and vmnet modules are
currently handled as the rest has been upstreamed for some time.
Main branch master handles only "infrastructure" files which do not belong
to VMware module sources. Two other branches, "player" and "workstation"
track upstream module sources distributed with Player and Workstation,
respectively. Tags of the form "p${version}" (e.g. "p12.5.5") and
"w${version}" correspond to clean unpacked sources of modules from
a particular version of Player or Workstation.
From these tags, branches "player-${version}" and "workstation-${version}"
are forked. These branches track changes needed to build these modules
against recent kernel versions. Tag "p${ver}-k${ver}" marks the set of
changes needed to build modules from Player ${ver} against kernel ${ver},
e.g. p12.5.5-k4.11 is for Player 12.5.5 and kernel 4.11; similar naming
scheme "w${ver}-k${kver}" is used for Workstation modules. In general,
later points in the branch should also work with older kernels (e.g.
p12.5.5-k4.11 with kernel 4.10) but it's not completely reliable.
