commit 6d9e8c651dd979aa666bee15f086745f3ea9c4b3 upstream.
Patch series "use div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is unsigned long".
We were first inspired by commit b0ab99e7736a ("sched: Fix possible divide by zero in avg_atom () calculation"), then refer to the recently analyzed mm code, we found this suspicious place.
201 if (min) { 202 min *= this_bw; 203 do_div(min, tot_bw); 204 }
And we also disassembled and confirmed it:

This series uses div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is unsigned long, to avoid truncation to 32-bit on 64-bit platforms.
This patch (of 3):
The variables 'min' and 'max' are unsigned long and do_div truncates them to 32 bits, which means it can test non-zero and be truncated to zero for division. Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.
