Re: [PATCH] block: iocost: ensure hweight_inuse is at least 1

In fact, we did encounter such a special situation where the kernel printed out `iocg: invalid donation weights in /a/b/c: active=1 donating=1 after=0`, and then it immediately panic. I analyzed the code but could not figure out how this happened; it might be a concurrency issue or some other hidden bug.

Our kernel is not the latest, but it includes the patch edaa26334c117a584add6053f48d63a988d25a6e (iocost: Fix divide-by-zero on donation from low hweight cgroup).

I'm confused, how could DIV64_U64_Round_UP() end up less than 1?


#define DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP(ll, d) \
({ u64 _tmp = (d); div64_u64((ll) + _tmp - 1, _tmp); })


AFAIK, the only case that could happen is that
iocg->hweight_active - iocg->hweight_donating is 0, then I don't
get it now how cound active iocg donate all the hweight, if this
really happend perhaps the better solution is to avoid such case.


Thanks,
Kuai
