[PATCH 3.12 071/123] dm stats: fix divide by zero if 'number_of_areas' arg is zero

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Aug 04 2015 - 10:59:13 EST


From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit dd4c1b7d0c95be1c9245118a3accc41a16f1db67 upstream.

If the number_of_areas argument was zero the kernel would crash on
div-by-zero. Add better input validation.
