So, it seems that the issue lies with some modifications to file-related structures and functions in the 3.12 kernel. I'm attaching an attempt to fix the problem with a new patch. It compiles here, but I still have to test it (I am not particularly familiar with that code and my fix might be incorrect).

Update: I quickly tested by unloading and reloading the modules and using a windows 7 vm for a while and it seems to be working.

You have Linux-3.14.3, my patch was designed for Linux 3.12, I have no idea if they have changed anything in addition from 3.12 to 3.14. Sorry, but I don't have time to go through it and update the patch right now, I was hoping that some gentoo dev would take my patch and turn into something that can go into the main tree.

Is it possible you could explain what it is you're looking for in terms of changes? Anything you could give me would be a boon.

Just take a look at the patch I added (271-vmblock-3.12.patch) and see what files it changes and what it does. I suspect that there have been more changes to those data structures / functions from 3.12 to 3.14.

So I found out many errors are ones that keep getting corrected. I was able to get past vmblock and vmci with attachment 342888 [details, diff] from bug 462666. I now stall at vmnet but the errors seem to be much less clear.

Okay, I got over the vmnet bump, too. Patch came from here: http://pastebin.com/p3bkbAMu but was poorly written. See attached patch.
Created attachment 376596 [details, diff] patch for vmnet
The patch still is not in portage. * ERROR: app-emulation/vmware-modules-271.3::gentoo failed (prepare phase): * Failed Patch: 271-3.10.0.patch! * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called src_prepare * environment, line 3703: Called epatch '/usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files/271-3.10.0.patch' * environment, line 1439: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Failed Patch: ${patchname}!"; *
I tried to recompile it today, but the patch fails (same output as in 271-3.10.0.patch.out already attached).
Created attachment 383526 [details] vmware-workstation and vmware-modules for overlay I have included working copies of both the workstation and module ebuilds, I don't have the time to separate the differences or changes but I'm just trying to help you out if you just want to get it working, works with all kernels through version 3.16*
Created attachment 384720 [details] Patches to compile on 3.14.0 Allows for a clean and working build on kernel 3.14.0. It is possible it will work for later versions as well though I have not tried.
This bug has been open for quite some time. For people like me where my employer has purchased the workstation 9 license, upgrading to the latest and having to repurchase another license is not ideal. Please consider my patches for building on kernel 3.14.0. Also, the two fix_* patches included make 2-79 compile cleanly on my 3.14.0 box as well (Bug 462666) which is also unresolved.
Agreed, this bug has been open for FAR too long. On a separate note. This ebuild seems to be in a state of complete disrepair :-(. I mean, the ebuild's patches don't even apply! Essentially, it feels like the ebuild is basically unmaintained. Because of that, I have made a modified ebuild (which basically doesn't apply the 271-3.10.0.patch or any of the later ones) in my local layman overlay and have made some patches which when applied in order will allow vmware-modules-271 to compile on all kernels I have installed between 3.10 - 3.16. If people are interested, I will make the layman repo available on some public server so that everyone can continue to use vmware-9!
I have commited a new ebuild and set of patches to the official vmware overlay. Please give it a try. Please be sure to remove any user patches you have in /etc/portage/patches/ as the code should now compile *cleanly* for all kernel versions 3.10 - 3.17. I am working with the maintainer to get the ebuild and patches merged with the mainline once it has been tested enough.

Just emerged with gentoo-sources-3.16.5. Everything went smooth, you saved me a couple hours to figure out what new patches were needed, thanks!
Compiled with gentoo-sources-3.16.5 and everything seem to be running, thanks for the work. Would be nice to see these patches in the tree, since those ebuilds are broken without patching on your own.
The official vmware overlay compiles and functions correctly with all 3.x kernel versions > 3.10 I believe. I will work with the maintainers to get the overlay merged with the main trunk in the future.
