Package: src:linux Version: 3.2.41-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: wheezy fixed-upstream X-Debbugs-CC: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org, m...@daniel-baumann.ch
Hi Kernel Team, VMware VMCI (Virtual Machine Communication Interface - i.e vmci) and VMware VM sockets (vmsock) were integrated in Linux 3.9 [kn39]. In wheezy, they can be installed using open-vm-dkms. Unfortunately, it is not on Debian installer and also requires Kernel headers and build toolchain to be installed. vmsock is necessary to pass parameters to the VM [guestinfo]. vmci is a requirement to vmsock. As mentionned on the Kernel Newbies page, the code is at: - https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/misc/vmw_vmci commits: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/misc/vmw_vmci - https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/net/vmw_vsock commits: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/net/vmw_vsock I have not tested to include them in 3.2. Would it be ok to include it. If so, do you need some help?
