[PATCH 3/3] netfilter: xt_hashlimit: uses div_u64 for division

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Sep 30 2016 - 12:08:19 EST


The newly added support for high-resolution pps rates introduced multiple 64-bit
division operations in one function, which fails on all 32-bit architectures:

net/netfilter/xt_hashlimit.o: In function `user2credits':
xt_hashlimit.c:(.text.user2credits+0x3c): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
xt_hashlimit.c:(.text.user2credits+0x68): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
xt_hashlimit.c:(.text.user2credits+0x88): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

This replaces the division with an explicit call to div_u64 for version 2
to documents that this is a slow operation, and reverts back to 32-bit arguments
for the version 1 data to restore the original faster 32-bit division.

With both changes combined, we no longer get a link error.

Vishwanath Pai already sent a patch for this, and I did my version independently.
The difference is that his version also the more expensive division for the
version 1 variant that doesn't need it.
