Hi, As Ingo suggested, I went ahead and introduced a completely new div64_u64_rem, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/21/452 I've staged this change in linux-next for inclusion in the current 3.12 merge (via the device-mapper tree), see: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=eb18cba78c2b9250663021e17e1e9cc34630e92a So once this is in ext4 can make use of div64_u64_rem().
