Doesn't build with Linux 5.8

[felixonmars]

I cannot find a way to allocate PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC anymore in the new version. __vmalloc doesn't have that parameter now and __vmalloc_node_range is no longer exported.

Try this patch:

[pgiri]

Can you test above patch and confirm if it works?

[tkasozi]

this patch helped me get the installation complete

ndiswrapper 1.6.3, kernel 5.8 patch applied, compile and install driver works fine. Driver: (FritzStick_64bit_winxp_v061228) when i modprobe ndiswrapper i get: kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

maybe__vmalloc does not allow executeable pages any more? Kernel: SMP Debian 5.10.24-1~bpo10+1

Do you have a patch for 5.13 ??

[rezso]

Do you have a patch for 5.13 ??

No. I have 5.10.18 kernel.

[CoolOmar2020]

Do you have a patch for 5.13 ??

No. I have 5.10.18

OK send it but patching with patch command fails do you have other suggestions??

@rezso where's the patch man?

@CoolOmar2020,

@rezso where's the patch man?

The link to the patch was already provided in this same issue. Click here to see the included patch.

The included patch does work against ndiswrapper-1.63 and it does appear to compile successfully against kernel 5.14.

I have gotten the patch command to work via the following:

patch --no-backup-if-mismatch -p1 -i kernel-5.8.patch.txt

Does the said patch not work against 5.10? There is another variant of this kernel-5.8 patch. Personally, I do not know of any patches that are specifically for 5.10.

My patches for newer kernels have been merged, It would be nice if others could test it out
