sounds like the compiler is using a specialized instruction to do both div
and mod in one. By removing the mod in patch 1/2, I expect that patch 2/2
will no longer get this error.

The __udivmoddi4 may be the way div and mod are combined.

Delete remain's patch 1/2 according to your suggestion. I compiled it as a
KO module for an experiment.

There are still __udivdi3 errors, so the do_div API must be used.

Ok. Looking at do_div(), it seems to be the correct API to use
for this problem. Just change bar_size type to u64 (instead of casting)
and use do_div() ? That is how it is seems to be used in other drivers.

I still think that a patch that removes the "remainder" code is a good
cleanup, so please send it as patch 1/2, you can be the author, just add:

Thank you very much for Niklas' discussion on this patch. I will resubmit two patches in the future.

Best regards
