When trying to install vmware tools on a Fedora 22 vm (using vmware player 7.1.2 build-2780323) I get this fail out on the file sharing build:
CC [M] /tmp/modconfig-b3D2Qf/vmhgfs-only/file.o
/tmp/modconfig-b3D2Qf/vmhgfs-only/file.c:172:18: error: ‘new_sync_read’ undeclared here (not in a function)
.read = new_sync_read,
^
/tmp/modconfig-b3D2Qf/vmhgfs-only/file.c:173:18: error: ‘new_sync_write’ undeclared here (not in a function)
.write = new_sync_write,
^
scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target '/tmp/modconfig-b3D2Qf/vmhgfs-only/file.o' failed

Makefile:1387: recipe for target '_module_/tmp/modconfig-b3D2Qf/vmhgfs-only' failed

Makefile:120: recipe for target 'vmhgfs.ko' failed
make: *** [vmhgfs.ko] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '/tmp/modconfig-b3D2Qf/vmhgfs-only'
It looks like the file sharing is unable to compile with the latest kernel. Any prediction on how long before it is fixed by vmware? ... or other tips to get this fixed?
