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.

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 reStructuredText 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.
