vboxsf module (6.0.0) does not compile for kernel 3.10 -> fixed after (not in) 5.2.22/6.0.0 or in test builds

[the_source_him]

Can not compile vboxsf module during guest additions installation in Oracle Linux 7.2 guest (kernel 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64) due to missing include in vboxsf/vfsmod.c (results in implicit declarations of functions seq_puts, seq_printf, seq_escape). To fix this I manually added #include <linux/seq_file.h> directive into file, after that module compiled successfully

Either #18238 is a duplicate of #18249, or #18249 is a duplicate of #18238.

"This bugtracker isn't big for both of them!" :)

You can mark #18249 as a dupe of #18238. The only difference is the guest OS (el7 vs. el6).

Please try the current test builds<1>.

With VBoxGuestAdditions_6.0.1-128006, vboxsf builds fine on RHEL-6.

Guest additions 6.0.2 compiled without problems in Oracle Linux 7.2 for 3.10 kernel.
