Crash in hdaR3Timer, Fedora 27 host, Oracle Linux 7.2 guest -> fixed in 5.2.22

[Max Fedotov]

VirtualBox crashes when any gnome based application is started, including gdm and gnome desktop, but only with guest additions installed (3d acceleration disabled). With 3d acceleration enabled I get kernel panics and oopses, system can not load. Worked fine in 5.2.6. Guest kernel is 3.8.13-98.7.1.el7uek.x86_64

Host system - Fedora 27 x86_64

Probably a duplicate of #17623. If it is then the latest test builds should fix the problem, if not please re-open.

I posted my problem to #17623, but that bug is not kernel related, while this is. Under kernel 3.8 virtualbox crashes, under 3.10 everything works fine. I could get some backtrace of the crash, but it might not be very useful:

It seems to be fixed in VirtualBox-5.2.22
