This is a nitpick but wouldn't something like the following be easier to
understand?

        if (bps) {
                u64 bps_pages = DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL(bps, IOC_PAGE_SIZE);

                if (bps_pages)
                        *pages = DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP(VTIME_PER_SEC, bps_pages);
                else
                        *pages = 1;
        }

Out of scope but this seems more like a bug in the DIV macros. The fact that
it returns 0 is an implementation artifact more than anything and a
surprising one at that as it ends up returning 0 for an input that a regular
division would handle just fine and the rounded up result fits well within
the result type.

Thanks.
