Public bug reported:
[Impact]
virtualbox-guest-dkms is failing to build on focal with the latest linux
5.15 kernel:
var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/6.1.26/build/vboxsf/regops.c: In function
‘vbsf_iter_lock_pages’:
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/6.1.26/build/vboxsf/regops.c:2129:15: error:
‘struct iov_iter’ has no member named ‘type’
2129 | if (!(iter->type & ITER_KVEC)) {
| ^~
[Test case]
$ sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-dkms
[Fix]
Backport a change (from 6.1.30) in the sharedfolders driver to properly
get iov iter type member which changed name in 5.14.
[Regression potential]
This change is only affecting the sharedfolders driver, so we may
experience potential regressions in virtualbox guest instances that are
using shared folders with the host.
