commit 225df8a468 ("ieot: add Index Entry Offset Table (IEOT)
extension", 2018-09-26) added a 'DIV_ROUND_UP(entries, ieot_blocks)
expression, where ieot_blocks was set to zero for a single cpu
platform. This caused an SIGFPE and a core dump in practically
every test in the test-suite, until test t4056-diff-order.sh, which
then went into an infinite loop!

Hi Ben,

Could you please squash this into the relevant commits on your
'bp/read-cache-parallel' branch. (The first hunk fixes a sparse
warning about using an integer as a NULL pointer).


Absolutely - thanks for the patch.

I don't know how long it's been since I've been on a single core CPU - I'm sad for you. ;-)

Thanks!

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
