修改vmware-tools以适应高版本Linux内核
VMware Workstation8中的vmware-tools在高版本Linux内核环境下，有些模块会编译出错，比如我关心的shared folder就会出错。导致的结果就是在虚拟机中可以看到/mnt/hgfs文件夹,但是无法查看shared folder里设置的宿主机共享文件夹。
编译出错的原因是高版本的Linux内核中的一些数据结构定义和函数生命与2.6.*之前的版本有所变化。
例如老版本ethtool.h中结构体ethtool_ops声明如下：
struct ethtool_ops {
int (*get_settings)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_cmd *);
int (*set_settings)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_cmd *);
void (*get_drvinfo)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_drvinfo *);
int (*get_regs_len)(struct net_device *);
void (*get_regs)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_regs *, void *);
void (*get_wol)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_wolinfo *);
int (*set_wol)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_wolinfo *);
u32 (*get_msglevel)(struct net_device *);
void (*set_msglevel)(struct net_device *, u32);
int (*nway_reset)(struct net_device *);
u32 (*get_link)(struct net_device *);
int (*get_eeprom_len)(struct net_device *);
int (*get_eeprom)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_eeprom *, u8 *);
int (*set_eeprom)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_eeprom *, u8 *);
int (*get_coalesce)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *);
int (*set_coalesce)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *);
void (*get_ringparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_ringparam *);
int (*set_ringparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_ringparam *);
void (*get_pauseparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_pauseparam*);
int (*set_pauseparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_pauseparam*);
u32 (*get_rx_csum)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_rx_csum)(struct net_device *, u32);
u32 (*get_tx_csum)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_tx_csum)(struct net_device *, u32);
u32 (*get_sg)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_sg)(struct net_device *, u32);
u32 (*get_tso)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_tso)(struct net_device *, u32);
void (*self_test)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_test *, u64 *);
void (*get_strings)(struct net_device *, u32 stringset, u8 *);
int (*set_phys_id)(struct net_device *, enum ethtool_phys_id_state);
void (*get_ethtool_stats)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_stats *, u64 *);
int (*begin)(struct net_device *);
void (*complete)(struct net_device *);
u32 (*get_ufo)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_ufo)(struct net_device *, u32);
u32 (*get_flags)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_flags)(struct net_device *, u32);
u32 (*get_priv_flags)(struct net_device *);
int (*set_priv_flags)(struct net_device *, u32);
int (*get_sset_count)(struct net_device *, int);
int (*get_rxnfc)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_rxnfc *, u32 *rule_locs);
int (*set_rxnfc)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_rxnfc *);
int (*flash_device)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_flash *);
int (*reset)(struct net_device *, u32 *);
int (*set_rx_ntuple)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_rx_ntuple *);
int (*get_rxfh_indir)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_rxfh_indir *);
int (*set_rxfh_indir)(struct net_device *,
const struct ethtool_rxfh_indir *);
void (*get_channels)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_channels *);
int (*set_channels)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_channels *);
int (*get_dump_flag)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_dump *);
int (*get_dump_data)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_dump *, void *);
int (*set_dump)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_dump *);
};
新版本声明如下：
struct ethtool_ops {
int (*get_settings)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_cmd *);
int (*set_settings)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_cmd *);
void (*get_drvinfo)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_drvinfo *);

u32 (*get_msglevel)(struct net_device *);
void (*set_msglevel)(struct net_device *, u32);
int (*nway_reset)(struct net_device *);
u32 (*get_link)(struct net_device *);
int (*get_eeprom_len)(struct net_device *);
int (*get_eeprom)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_eeprom *, u8 *);
int (*set_eeprom)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_eeprom *, u8 *);
int (*get_coalesce)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *);
int (*set_coalesce)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *);
void (*get_ringparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_ringparam *);
int (*set_ringparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_ringparam *);

void (*self_test)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_test *, u64 *);
void (*get_strings)(struct net_device *, u32 stringset, u8 *);
int (*set_phys_id)(struct net_device *, enum ethtool_phys_id_state);
void (*get_ethtool_stats)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_stats *, u64 *);
int (*begin)(struct net_device *);
void (*complete)(struct net_device *);
u32 (*get_priv_flags)(struct net_device *);
struct ethtool_eeprom *, u8 *);
int (*set_eeprom)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_eeprom *, u8 *);
int (*get_coalesce)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *);
int (*set_coalesce)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *);
void (*get_ringparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_ringparam *);
int (*set_ringparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_ringparam *);
void (*get_pauseparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_pauseparam*);
int (*set_pauseparam)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_pauseparam*);
void (*self_test)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_test *, u64 *);
void (*get_strings)(struct net_device *, u32 stringset, u8 *);
int (*set_phys_id)(struct net_device *, enum ethtool_phys_id_state);
void (*get_ethtool_stats)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_stats *, u64 *);
int (*begin)(struct net_device *);
void (*complete)(struct net_device *);
u32 (*get_priv_flags)(struct net_device *);
int (*get_sset_count)(struct net_device *, int);
int (*get_rxnfc)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_rxnfc *, u32 *rule_locs);
int (*set_rxnfc)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_rxnfc *);
int (*flash_device)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_flash *);
int (*reset)(struct net_device *, u32 *);
u32 (*get_rxfh_indir_size)(struct net_device *);
int (*get_rxfh_indir)(struct net_device *, u32 *);
int (*set_rxfh_indir)(struct net_device *, const u32 *);
void (*get_channels)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_channels *);
int (*set_channels)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_channels *);
int (*get_dump_flag)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_dump *);
int (*get_dump_data)(struct net_device *,
struct ethtool_dump *, void *);
int (*set_dump)(struct net_device *, struct ethtool_dump *);
};
主要是vmhgfs和vmxnet两个模块的错误，将编译出错的字段删除即可。
你可以在这里下载已经修改好的压缩包，将压缩包中的文件替换掉原文件即可。其中vmhgfs、vmxnet模块在/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source目录下。
ps:感谢ceofit的分享,但是其提供的补丁包下载页面已经失效,于是我重新做了一个分享。原文有更加详细的说明！
