mm: fix div by zero in bdi_ratio_from_pages
During testing it has been detected, that it is possible to get div by zero error in bdi_set_min_bytes. The error is caused by the function bdi_ratio_from_pages(). bdi_ratio_from_pages() calls global_dirty_limits. If the dirty threshold is 0, the div by zero is raised. This can happen if the root user is setting: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio The following is a test case: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio cd /sys/class/bdi/<device> echo 1 > strict_limit echo 8192 > min_bytes ==> error is raised. The problem is addressed by returning -EINVAL if dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes is set to 0.
