[Bug 1088053] Re: Kernel needs to provide FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctl so that open-vm-dkms can build
This bug was fixed in the package open-vm-tools - 2012.12.26-958366-0ubuntu1 --- open-vm-tools (2012.12.26-958366-0ubuntu1) raring-proposed; urgency=high * Merging upstream version 2012.12.26-958366. * Added 04-dkms-vmsync.patch: An additional to 03-dkms.patch - Deletes lines involving vmsync, adjust other numbers. - Module compile still fails if we don't add this patch. - This keeps the 03-dkms.patch unmodified. * Added 05-vmhgfs.patch: - Fixes vmxnet compile issues with 3.8 kernel (LP: #1100096) * Stop dkms from building vmblock module. - vmblock-fuse takes care of this now. + Modules still build, but this gets rid of the vmblock-related warning message -- Nate Muench nowiwilldestroyaby...@gmail.com Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:11:13 -0600 ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to open-vm-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088053 Title: Kernel needs to provide FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctl so that open-vm-dkms can build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/open-vm-tools/+bug/1088053/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1088053] Re: Kernel needs to provide FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctl so that open-vm-dkms can build
Hi Nate,
It appears FIFREEZE AND FITHAW are already built into the kernel.
Here is the defines in ~/linux/include/linux/fs.h(Also in
~linux/include/uapi/linux/fs.h):
#define FIFREEZE_IOWR('X', 119, int)/* Freeze */
#define FITHAW _IOWR('X', 120, int)/* Thaw */
In ~linux/fs/ioctl.c, there is a switch for FIFREEZE AND FITHAW:
do_vfs_ioctl()
case FIFREEZE:
error = ioctl_fsfreeze(filp);
break;
case FITHAW:
error = ioctl_fsthaw(filp);
break;
These switch statements then call ioctl_fsfreeze() or ioctl_fsthaw():
static int ioctl_fsfreeze(struct file *filp)
{
struct super_block *sb = filp-f_path.dentry-d_inode-i_sb;
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
return -EPERM;
/* If filesystem doesn't support freeze feature, return. */
if (sb-s_op-freeze_fs == NULL)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
/* Freeze */
return freeze_super(sb);
}
ioctl_fsfreeze() then does a check to see if freeze is supported by the
filesystem.
Do you have a more complete log of the failure you are seeing when
vmsync doesn't compile? If it was working prior to the v3.6 kernel,
then that would also indicate this is a regression versus a new feature
request.

Have you read the Upstream bug report (it's under remote bug watches)?

apport information ** Also affects: open-vm-tools-dkms (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: open-vm-tools-dkms (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: apport-collected running-unity ** Description changed: Hello, My name is Nate, and I'm responsible for keeping the open-vm-tools package up to date. I am requesting that ioctl (specifically FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctl) please be compiled into the kernel (if it hasn't already) because vmsync doesn't compile since newer kernel (namely 3.6 and greater). Yes, I know it's depreciated but it need to be done. I'm reporting this now because I've known about this for a month or so because I have a scratch machine and both that and Ubuntu are different environments, and I just installed Raring for the first time. And since Ubuntu's kernel has more stuff that the normal kernel, I wanted to know if the module would compile.
