Meanwhile V5.2.4 of VirtualBox is released and still the same problem. I even tried actual test build 5.2.5-120181.

For some reason today the guest did not switch time several months into the past during startup, and so I got some more information as output of journalctl -xn:

This sounds to me like a missmatch between the guest kernel and the Vbox guest additions. Apparently we receive garbage commands as ioctls in the guest and refuse what we dont know.

openSUSE Leap 42.1 was a Linux 4.1 kernel based distro. Maybe someting got backported into that kernel.

Currently we are at revision 5.2.32 of the 5.2.X guest additions, dont know if that'd change anything. I wonder if we failt o compile the newer gesut additions during installation somehow or the recompile fails.

Is this still an issue?

comment:3 by Reiner Brodbeck, 6 years ago

I meanwhile use revision 6.0.12. The issue changed in revision 6.x, but guest additions still only compile partially. May I add the actual log to this ticket, or should I create a new one for revision 6.x?

comment:4 by Frank Batschulat (Oracle), 6 years ago

Thanks please add the failing compile log here to this bug, plus host and guest details so we can have a look. The failure to compile the guest additions is very likely the red hering here. Lets use this bug for now.

comment:5 by Reiner Brodbeck, 6 years ago

Actual host: Windows 10 Pro 1903 build 18362.365, AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor

Actual guest: openSUSE Leap 42.1 (x86_64), kernel 4.1.39-56-default

Virtual Box revision is 6.0.12 r133076.

I will attach the files vboxadd-setup.log and vboxadd-install.log

This same error: 

/tmp/vbox.0/utils.c: In function ‘vbsf_inode_setattr’:
/tmp/vbox.0/utils.c:812:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘inode_change_ok’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     rc = inode_change_ok(pInode, iattr);
     ^

was seen on Debian Jessie (kernel 3.16) when some upstream kernel changes were backported which required VirtualBox changes to allow the Guest Additions to compile again as documented in ticket #18697.

comment:7 by Frank Batschulat (Oracle), 6 years ago

nevermind my previous comment, as the fix of #18697 currently does not apply here because we compile against a lower kernel version:

Building the main Guest Additions 6.0.12 module for kernel 4.1.39-56-default.

whereas the fix for #18697 changed:

https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?reponame=vbox&new=79594%40trunk%2Fsrc%2FVBox%2FAdditions%2Flinux%2Fsharedfolders%2Futils.c&old=78860%40trunk%2Fsrc%2FVBox%2FAdditions%2Flinux%2Fsharedfolders%2Futils.c

Yes, this bug really reproduces even with 6.0.14 on sch an old kernel like running with openSUSE Leap 42.1

So the error in detail for the shared folder code is: 

 CC [M]  /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.0.14/src/vboxguest-6.0.14/vboxsf/utils.o
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.0.14/src/vboxguest-6.0.14/vboxsf/utils.c: In function ‘vbsf_inode_setattr’:
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.0.14/src/vboxguest-6.0.14/vboxsf/utils.c:812:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘inode_change_ok’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     rc = inode_change_ok(pInode, iattr);
     ^

The fix for #18697 changed:

https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?reponame=vbox&new=79594%40trunk%2Fsrc%2FVBox%2FAdditions%2Flinux%2Fsharedfolders%2Futils.c&old=78860%40trunk%2Fsrc%2FVBox%2FAdditions%2Flinux%2Fsharedfolders%2Futils.c 

-- 809	 	#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 9, 0) 
+++ 	809	#if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 16, 39) && LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 17, 0))
+++ || LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 9, 0) 
810	810	    rc = setattr_prepare(dentry, iattr);

So we use setattr_prepare() instead of inode_change_ok() for: 

>= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 16, 39) && < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 17, 0) || >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 9, 0)

Our kernel is: 4.1.39 which is not in the 3.X range and lower then 4.9

The change originally happened in Linux:

​https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit?id=50b070e8224f7bf86622ede1abee9fa3d3dc2f10

and 4.1.39 indeed has setattr_prepare() as well:

​https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.1.39/source/fs/attr.c#L33

while 4.1 does not have it. It first appears in 4.1.37:

​https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.1.37/source/fs/attr.c#L33

The 4.2 branch does not have it at all. The 4.3 branch does not have it at all. The 4.4 branch does not have it at all. The 4.5 branch does not have it at all. The 4.6 branch does not have it at all. The 4.7 branch does not have it at all. The 4.8 branch does not have it at all.

And it first appears again in the 4.9 branch:

​https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.9/source/fs/attr.c#L33

So we need to include 4.1.37 up to < 4.2 as well.

the problematic code is in:

VBox-6.0/src/VBox/Additions/linux/sharedfolders/utils.c:vbsf_inode_setattr() 

 809 #if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 16, 39) && LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 17, 0)) || LINUX_VERSION_COD     E >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 9, 0)
 810     rc = setattr_prepare(dentry, iattr);
 811 #else
 812     rc = inode_change_ok(pInode, iattr);
 813 #endif

Once we apply this fix and can compile the guest GAs we fail during modload of the vboxsf module: 

linux-9798:/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.0.14/src/vboxguest-6.0.14 # make load

rmmod: ERROR: Module vboxvideo is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module vboxvfs is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module vboxsf is not currently loaded
rmmod: ERROR: Module vboxguest is in use
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module vboxguest.ko: File exists
Makefile:100: recipe for target 'load' failed
make: *** [load] Error 1

[ 1425.435543] vboxguest: misc device minor 58, IRQ 20, I/O port d040, MMIO at 00000000f2400000 (size 0x400000)
[ 1425.435547] vboxguest: Successfully loaded version 6.0.14 (interface 0x00010004)
[ 1425.445975] vboxsf: Unknown symbol noop_backing_dev_info (err 0)

Now we know that one already from Ticket #18926

That kernel function is not exported in the 4.1 kernel branch.

So we also need the fix for Ticket #18926 to verify vboxsf successfuly here.

With this changeset also applied, I could verify the inital fix and the shared folder code works now on this distribution/kernel.
