Thanks for the explanation!

Yes, this helped! Compile-tested only:

Commit a99b7069aab8fc3fb4f26d15795dc280b52e38b1 introduced do_div() to
xattr.c and the warning below too.
As Geert remarked: "tmp" is "loff_t" which is "__kernel_loff_t", which
is "long long", i.e. signed, while include/asm-generic/div64.h compares
its type with "uint64_t". As inode sizes are positive, it should be safe
to change the type of "tmp" to "u64".
