Another kernel version, another VMware compilation issue.  :roll:

As told here, the fix is easy.

With /usr/lib/vmware/module/source/vmblock.tar extracted, open the file /usr/lib/vmware/module/source/vmblock-only/linux/filesystem.c for editing.  Go to line 528, and change d_alloc_root(rootInode) to read d_make_root(rootInode).

That's it -- re-tar vmblock and the module will build correctly on towo's new kernel.
System76 Oryx Pro, Intel Core i7-11800H, ASRock B860 Pro-A, Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, Nvidia GTX-1060, SSD 990 EVO Plus.
