Looks like a failure on copy_from_user, specifically vmware tried to preform a copy_from_user of more thana page worth of data to a heap allocated space allocated via vmalloc.

Upstream, this shouldn't be a problem as vmalloc addresses shouldn't be tested page spanning, as per commit 8e1f74ea02cf4562404c48c6882214821552c13f. Thats not available to 4.8-rc6. I can backport it if you like, or we can just wait for the update. Let me know what you would like to do
