Hello! I have been looking again at how to implement the passing of a config
file to our Ignition first boot provisioner, which would allow us to fully,
officially support VirtualBox. For reference, see
https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2016-September/014057.html.
We would like to be able to use Guest Properties to accomplish this, but the
Guest Additions module being out-of-tree is a big problem for us, as we only
ship vanilla kernel (no out-of-tree modules). This leaves us with two options:
1. Mainline the VirtualBox guest modules into the Linux kernel (specifically
vboxguest, as that exposes the guest properties interface)
For Fedora 27 we want to make Fedora 27 a fully integrated VirtualBox guest,
As such I've been working for the last couple of weeks on getting the VirtualBox
guest kernel drivers merged into the mainline Linux kernel.
<snip>
This brings us to the main question/proposal. Would it be a possibility to submit the VirtualBox guest modules to be merged into the mainline kernel?
Yes, this is possible and I'm working om making this happen, see:
