The upgrade was foisted on me, and VMWare didn't complain until my last reboot. When I do the usual steps in this project
I get the following error stack. I saw a solution for users with 17.5.2, but I can't even get that edition since the VMWare broadcom takeover. Here's the log from the compilation:

See this thread - #250

I was able to get things working on Pop!_OS using the modified project forked form this project that is mentioned in the linked thread above. The screenshot below shows the cloned git directory within the 17.5.1 directory cloned from this project (you don't need to clone the other project to that location. I was just there when I cloned it). The only thing that I can see that does not work is the vmware-netcfg. You will not be able to create, or modify, networks with this fix at this time.

Direct link to the other project mentioned is - https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules/tree/tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1/vmnet-only

Thanks for this. I decided this time around to roll back to the 6.8 kernel as it was faster and more to the point, reversible. I'll be watching this space to see how others progress. I'm now thinking I don't dare upgrade to the 17.5.2 version from 17.5.1. Geez! what happened to VMWare?!? If I didn't know better, Broadcom bought it to destroy the product.

it looks like dev_base_lock has been removed from the kernel https://review.lttng.org/c/lttng-modules/+/12178/4

I will lock at what is used instead and have a look tomorrow

Was able to use the below from #257 to successfully get vmware version 17.5.2 to work with Pop_OS.

git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git cd vmware-host-modules/ sudo make tarballs && sudo cp -v vmmon.tar vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

vmnet-only/vnetInt.h needs to be updated with something like this for the definition of the dev locks

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6, 9, 0)
#  define dev_lock_list()    rcu_read_lock()
#  define dev_unlock_list()  rcu_read_unlock()
#else
#  define dev_lock_list()    read_lock(&dev_base_lock)
#  define dev_unlock_list()  read_unlock(&dev_base_lock)
#endif

Exactly. Minor correction, and it works perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
