Subject: [PATCH] ipvs: use div_s64 for signed division

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

do_div() is only well-behaved for positive numbers, and now warns
when the first argument is a an s64:

net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_est.c: In function 'ip_vs_est_calc_limits':
include/asm-generic/div64.h:222:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
222 | (void)(((typeof((n)) *)0) == ((uint64_t *)0)); \
| ^~
net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_est.c:694:17: note: in expansion of macro 'do_div'
694 | do_div(val, loops);

Convert to using the more appropriate div_s64(), which also
simplifies the code a bit.

net-next already contains fix for this warning
and changes val to u64.

On CONFIG_X86_32 both versions execute single divl
for our case but div_s64 is not inlined. I'm not expert in
this area but if you think div_u64 is more appropriate then
post another patch. Note that now val is u64 and
min_est is still s32 (can be u32).

Arnd's patch applies fine on top of net-next, maybe he is addressing
something else?

No, it's the same bug. I had prepared my patch before the other fix
went in, and only one of the two is needed.

FWIW, I find my version slightly more readable, but Jakub's fix
is probably more efficient, because the unsigned 64-bit division
is better optimized on 32-bit, while div_s64() goes through an
extern function.
