[arch-general] Kernel 4.14.3-1-ARCH breaks dkms rebuild of Virtualbox drivers - ‘SKB_GSO_UDP’ undeclared
All, Updated to 4.14.3 breaks virtualbox 5.1.30 OSE (released 11/17) modules rebuild. The pacman error is: ==> dkms install vboxhost/5.1.30 -k 4.14.3-1-ARCH Error!

Is there a reason this should break now? Virtualbox 5.2 is currently not an option until a few bugs are fixed affecting the headless clients I run (e.g. https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17259) Is there a workaround that could define this constant, or was this inadvertently left out of the latest kernel? Let me know if a bug is needed, I'm happy to file it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

This worked fine in the last kernel.
A downgrade to linux-4.13.12-1 works fine. Looks like a known problem: https://bugs.debian.org/881744 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17267 So this looks like a situation where the 4.14 kernel will effectively eliminate the ability to use 5.1.30. It doesn't look like there will be a further maintenance release of 5.1.X while all initial problems with 5.2 are resolved. So this is an Oracle/4.14 issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
