e1000e: prevent division by zero if TIMINCA is zero
Users report that under VMWare, er32(TIMINCA) returns zero. This causes division by zero at init time as follows: ==> incvalue = er32(TIMINCA) & E1000_TIMINCA_INCVALUE_MASK; for (i = 0; i < E1000_MAX_82574_SYSTIM_REREADS; i++) { /* latch SYSTIMH on read of SYSTIML */ systim_next = (cycle_t)er32(SYSTIML); systim_next |= (cycle_t)er32(SYSTIMH) << 32; time_delta = systim_next - systim; temp = time_delta; ====> rem = do_div(temp, incvalue); This change makes kernel survive this, and users report that NIC does work after this change. Since on real hardware incvalue is never zero, this should not affect real hardware use case.
