I went for the simplest and safest fix first as this is a data corruption problem and I want assurance that this fixes device-mapper striping. I didn't want to change it to do_div() without first checking it would not slow down the code on the main architectures: on the contrary I would hope that use of an optimised library inline speeds it up, but want to be sure. You don't need the 64-bit mod until you have hundreds of TB in a single logical volume block device, filesystem... So far, I've only seen two test reports, both of which say they are still seeing data corruption in a filesystem on top of dm-stripe after applying this patch. But none of this information so far is specific enough to say whether the remaining problem(s) is/are in device-mapper.
