Missing #include in VBoxNetFlt-linux.c

It is also tested with sys-kernel/zen-sources 5.11
Comment 3 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2021-02-20 21:18:07 UTC
The duplicate already provided a near-identical patch for 5.11 before 5.11.0 came out (which is still valid for 6.1.18), however it's fairly rare patches get accepted for third party modules with recent new kernels branches and it instead waits for upstream fixes.
