The patch titled
ext3, ext4: avoid divide by zero
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ext3-ext4-avoid-divide-by-zero.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: ext3, ext4: avoid divide by zero
From: "Andries E. Brouwer" <Andries.Brouwer@xxxxxx>
As it turns out, the kernel divides by EXT3_INODES_PER_GROUP(s) when
mounting an ext3 filesystem. If that number is zero, a crash follows.
Below a patch.
This crash was reported by Joeri de Ruiter, Carst Tankink and Pim Vullers.
