3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Maxim Patlasov <mpatla...@parallels.com>
commit f6789593d5cea42a4ecb1cbeab6a23ade5ebbba7 upstream.
Under memory pressure, it is possible for dirty_thresh, calculated by
global_dirty_limits() in balance_dirty_pages(), to equal zero. Then, if
strictlimit is true, bdi_dirty_limits() tries to resolve the proportion:
bdi_bg_thresh : bdi_thresh = background_thresh : dirty_thresh
by dividing by zero.
