The following build error for powerpc64 was reported by Nathan Chancellor:

  "$ scripts/config --file arch/powerpc/configs/powernv_defconfig -e KERNEL_XZ

   $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux- distclean powernv_defconfig zImage

     586 |    fallthrough;
         |    ^~~~~~~~~~~

   This will end up affecting distribution configurations such as Debian
   and OpenSUSE according to my testing. I am not sure what the solution
   is, the PowerPC wrapper does not set -D__KERNEL__ so I am not sure
   that compiler_attributes.h can be safely included."

In order to avoid these sort of problems, it seems that the best
solution is to use /* fall through */ comments instead of the
fallthrough pseudo-keyword macro in lib/, for now.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

While using net_dim, a dim_sample was used without ever initializing the
comps value. Added use of DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL() to prevent potential
overflow, it should not be a problem to save the final result in an int
because after the division by epms the value should not be larger than a
few thousand.

<title>linux/dim: Implement RDMA adaptive moderation (DIM)</title>

RDMA DIM implements a different algorithm from net DIM and is based on
completions which is how we can implement interrupt moderation in RDMA.

The algorithm optimizes for number of completions and ratio between
completions and events. In order to avoid long latencies, the
implementation performs fast reduction of moderation level when the
traffic changes.

Added a measurement of completions per/msec to allow for completion based
dim algorithms.

In order to use dynamic interrupt moderation with RDMA we need to have a
different measurment than packets per second. This change is meant to
prepare for adding a new DIM method.

All drivers that use net_dim and thus do not need a completion count will
have the completions set to 0.

This is both more structurally appealing and would allow to only
