[PATCH] [49/139] tcp: avoid a possible divide by zero

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ad9f4f50fe9288bbe65b7dfd76d8820afac6a24c ]

sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor might be set to zero while one cpu runs in
tcp_tso_should_defer(). Make sure we dont allow a divide by zero by
reading sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor exactly once.
