[PATCH net-next v2 2/3] net: add trim helper and convert users

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa
Date: Thu Jan 16 2014 - 19:29:36 EST


From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx>

As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this
reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value().
Lets make the name short and nifty, put this where we have other
generic helpers of similar kind and convert users.

Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.
