[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#830855: module does not compile

[Matthew Vernon]

Package: virtualbox-dkms
Version: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1
Severity: serious

Hi,

This module does not build on my system any more (see attached log)

There appear to be at least 2 errors:

/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.3.36/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.c:581:21: error: implicit declaration of function ‘page_cache_release’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
                     page_cache_release(pMemLnx->apPages[iPage]);

/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.3.36/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.c:1032:14: error: too many arguments to function ‘get_user_pages’
         rc = get_user_pages(pTask,                  /* Task for fault accounting. */
              ^
Regards,

Matthew
