Kernel–4.9-rc3

Edit the VMNET-ONLY/USERIF.C and modify the following:

#if linux_version_code >= kernel_version (4, 6, 0) retval = get_user_pages (addr, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); #else R Etval = Get_user_pages (current, current->mm, addr, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); #endif

Switch

#if linux_version_code >= kernel_version (4, 9, 0) retval = get_user_pages (addr, 1, 0, &page, NULL); #else # if LIN  Ux_version_code >= kernel_version (4, 6, 0) retval = get_user_pages (addr, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); #else retval = Get_user_pages (current, current->mm, addr, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL); #endif #endif

Edit VMMON-ONLY/LINUX/HOSTIF.Cand modify the following:

#if linux_version_code >= kernel_version (4, 6, 0) retval = get_user_pages ((unsigned long) uvaddr, numpages, 0, 0, Ppag ES, NULL); #else retval = Get_user_pages (Current, current->mm, (unsigned long) uvaddr, Numpag ES, 0, 0, ppages, NULL); #endif
