From 82478fb7bca28e3ca2f3c55c14e690f749dd4dbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 14:44:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: compaction: prevent division-by-zero during user-requested compaction Up until 3e7d344 ("mm: vmscan: reclaim order-0 and use compaction instead of lumpy reclaim"), compaction skipped calculating the fragmentation index of a zone when compaction was explicitely requested through the procfs knob. However, when compaction_suitable was introduced, it did not come with an extra check for order == -1, set on explicit compaction requests, and passed this order on to the fragmentation index calculation, where it overshifts the number of requested pages, leading to a division by zero. This patch makes sure that order == -1 is recognized as the flag it is rather than passing it along as valid order parameter.
