When the configuration parameter CONFIG_HZ is less that 100, the compiler
generates an error as follows:
../drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_wx.c: In function 'rtl819x_translate_scan':
../drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_wx.c:220:57: warning: division by zero [-Wdiv-by-zero]
220 | (jiffies - network->last_scanned) / (HZ / 100));
| ^
In file included from ../include/linux/skbuff.h:45,
from ../include/linux/if_ether.h:19,
from ../include/linux/etherdevice.h:20,
from ../drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_wx.c:18:
../drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_wx.c: In function 'rtllib_wx_get_scan':
../drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_wx.c:261:70: warning: division by zero [-Wdiv-by-zero]
261 | (jiffies - network->last_scanned) /
|
In fact, is HZ is not a multiple of 100, the calculation will be wrong,
but it will compile correctly.
The fix is to get rid of the (HZ / 100) portion. To decrease any round-off
errors, the compiler is forced to perform the 100 * jiffies-difference
before dividing by HZ. This patch is only compile tested.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
