#Upointer incompatible drivers#
VirtualBox upstream about mainlining the guest drivers and VirtualBox Kept this driver driver out of mainline sofar. VirtualBox upstream not willing toĬommit to keeping this ABI stable was one of the things which has The vboxguest driver introduces a new userspace API + ABI in the form Warts such as doing hardware init in module_init rather then in a The runtime itself, reducing the vboxguest driver from 100000+ lines I've removed all depenencies on vbox's OS-independent runtime and I'm only submitting the vboxguest driver for now, as the vboxsf driverĭepends on this and it easier to first just get the vboxguest driver VirtualBox upstream has declared the ioctl API for the /dev/vboxguest deviceĪs being stable now, so once this passes review this is ready for merging. Here is (part of) the v1 cover-letter which is still relevant: Get rid of CHECK macros, use a function taking in_ and out_size args instead Remove unused struct type declarations from some headers (shaving of another Make type and struct-member names all lowercase, enum values all uppercase. Change all uapi headers to kernel coding style: Drop struct and enum typedefs
Is a version which applies on top of this series: Once this is merged, I will do some further cleanups on the vboxsf driverĪnd also submit that upstream, if people want to test it before then, here Note there currently is an issue with vboxvideo in the current master from
Here is resend of v2 of my cleaned up version of the VirtualBox vboxguestĭriver, rebased on top of current the master from Linus. ` (3 more replies) 0 siblings, 4 replies 14+ messages in threadįrom: Hans de Goede 15:12 UTC ( / raw)Ĭc: Hans de Goede, Michael Thayer, Knut St. 15:12 ` virt: Add vboxguest driver for Virtual Box Guest integration UAPI Hans de Goede Virt: Add vboxguest driver for Virtual Box Guest integration All of help / color / mirror / Atom feed * virt: Add vboxguest driver for Virtual Box Guest integration 15:12 Hans de Goede
