vmware-modules-279.2 fails to build with new kernel due to changes in alloc_netdev macro definition (name_assign_type param added). google says NET_NAME_USER should be used for name_assign_type. can someone make a patch? Reproducible: Always

1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment. 2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
@rainbow, I believe it should check kernel version @Jeroen, from interesting: gentoo-sources. all other doesn't matter. why have you changed the topic? I usually prefer search by error message.

Created attachment 386130 [details, diff] vmware-modules-279.2-3.17.patch Attached is a patch which can be dropped into /etc/portage/patches/vmware-modules-279.2/ that makes the change listed in the bug, and does so conditionally based on the kernel in use...
I've used NET_NAME_USER rather than NET_NAME_UNKNOWN because the vmware driver always provides a name (I assume "vmnet0" or "vmnet8", etc) and these will probably need to be in-sync for vmware to attach to them appropriately. As such, it seems like NET_NAME_USER is a better fit, but it should be easy to change in the patch if necessary.
thanks Mike =) @Jeroen, here is your useless info Portage 2.2.14_rc1 (python 2.7.8-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer, gcc-4.8.3, glibc-2.19-r1, 3.15.10-gentoo x86_64)

FYI, Mike's patch fixed the build issue and vmware now works on 3.17 for me. I use the kernel supplied modules where available, ie CONFIG_VMXNET3=m CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS=m CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI=m CONFIG_VMWARE_PVSCSI=m $ ls /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/ 279-3.17.0.patch 279-getname.patch 279-kernel-3.15.patch inode_patch.patch

The latest official vmware overlay has had the version bumped. I have built the sources for vmware-modules-{271,279,304} on stock kernels 3.10 - 4.0, and associated vmware-workstation-{9,10,11} ebuilds. Please give those a try and let me know if you have any issues. Thanks
Please don't mark bugs as fixed if they're not fixed in the main tree, otherwise we lose track of them, the main tree stays broken and no one knows where to look for the working ebuild...
