Wen Yang 36875206a3 mm/page-writeback.c: avoid potential division by zero in wb_min_max_ratio() 
commit 6d9e8c651d upstream.

Patch series "use div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is
unsigned long".

We were first inspired by commit b0ab99e773 ("sched: Fix possible divide
by zero in avg_atom () calculation"), then refer to the recently analyzed
mm code, we found this suspicious place.

 201                 if (min) {
 202                         min *= this_bw;
 203                         do_div(min, tot_bw);
 204                 }

And we also disassembled and confirmed it:

  /usr/src/debug/kernel-4.9.168-016.ali3000/linux-4.9.168-016.ali3000.alios7.x86_64/mm/page-writeback.c: 201

  0xffffffff811c37e6 <__wb_calc_thresh+246>:      mov    %r9d,%r10d    ---> truncates it to 32 bits here

  0xffffffff811c37eb <__wb_calc_thresh+251>:      div    %r10
  0xffffffff811c37ee <__wb_calc_thresh+254>:      imul   %rbx,%rax
  0xffffffff811c37f2 <__wb_calc_thresh+258>:      shr    $0x2,%rax
  0xffffffff811c37f6 <__wb_calc_thresh+262>:      mul    %rcx
  0xffffffff811c37f9 <__wb_calc_thresh+265>:      shr    $0x2,%rdx
  0xffffffff811c37fd <__wb_calc_thresh+269>:      mov    %rdx,%r10

This series uses div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is
unsigned long, to avoid truncation to 32-bit on 64-bit platforms.

This patch (of 3):

The variables 'min' and 'max' are unsigned long and do_div truncates
them to 32 bits, which means it can test non-zero and be truncated to
zero for division.  Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

README 

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.
