Well, the kernel module doesn't compile anymore, of course: os.c:894:46: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 11, have 10 BALLOON_NAME_VERBOSE); ^ /usr/src/sys/sys/sysctl.h:1014:1: note: 'sysctl_add_oid' declared here struct sysctl_oid *sysctl_add_oid(struct sysctl_ctx_list *clist, ^ 1 error generated. I am unsure why the VMware modules don't use the SYSCTL_XXX macros. Maybe these were not available in the past? Only the original maintainers might know. In any case, I have submitted a PR with a build fix, making use of the unrelated __FreeBSD_version bump, to add an additional NULL parameter to the call: https://bugs.freebsd.org/215353 -Dimitry --Apple-Mail=_51D4FED0-3271-46D4-AA9D-77860C27824A Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.30 iEYEARECAAYFAlhVTNkACgkQsF6jCi4glqOP2QCgi4FhFa03ptYcFMeW1I1K3/8E VdQAnikv8uUUPIHH4u0vm6DB9fHb9Qa5 =NmzV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_51D4FED0-3271-46D4-AA9D-77860C27824A--
