Please don't do this. This makes the code compile down to a division, which is

How much is the performance impact? So should the following be modified as shift operations as well?

fs/erofs/namei.c:92: int head = 0, back = DIV_ROUND_UP(dir->i_size, EROFS_BLKSIZ) - 1;
fs/erofs/zmap.c:252: const unsigned int totalidx = DIV_ROUND_UP(inode->i_size, EROFS_BLKSIZ);
fs/erofs/decompressor.c:14:#define LZ4_MAX_DISTANCE_PAGES (DIV_ROUND_UP(LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX, PAGE_SIZE) + 1)
fs/erofs/decompressor.c:56: DIV_ROUND_UP(distance, PAGE_SIZE) + 1 :
fs/erofs/decompressor.c:70: unsigned long bounced[DIV_ROUND_UP(LZ4_MAX_DISTANCE_PAGES,
fs/erofs/data.c:84: nblocks = DIV_ROUND_UP(inode->i_size, EROFS_BLKSIZ);

Please stop taking EROFS as example on ext4 patches
and they will all be changed due to subpage support.


Thx,
