Subject: [vbox-dev] kernel 5.2 build fix [PATCH] Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2019 12:02:26 +0200

Hello, for some reasons, see [1] virtualbox doesn't build its kernel modules correctly on some configurations...The following patch fixes the issue

+--- virtualbox-6.0.10-dfsg.orig/src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_ttm.c
++++ virtualbox-6.0.10-dfsg/src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_ttm.c
+@@ -33,7 +33,7 @@
+  *          Michael Thayer <>
+  */
+ #include "vbox_drv.h"
+-#include <ttm/ttm_page_alloc.h>
++#include <drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.h>
+
+ #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 18, 0) && !defined(RHEL_72)
+ #define PLACEMENT_FLAGS(placement) (placement)

please apply(you are not supposed to think that kernel is exporting -Iinclude/drm directory, and in all the other places it is not included that way)

see for comparison:src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_drv.h:#include  
<drm/ttm/ttm_bo_api.h>
src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_drv.h:#include <drm/ttm/ttm_bo_driver.h>
src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_drv.h:#include <drm/ttm/ttm_placement.h>
src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_drv.h:#include <drm/ttm/ttm_memory.h>
