Where the ip of the code points here:
/*
* Use span=(8*write_bw) in single bdi case as indicated by
* (thresh - bdi_thresh ~= 0) and transit to bdi_thresh in JBOD case.
*
* bdi_thresh thresh - bdi_thresh
* span = ---------- * (8 * write_bw) + ------------------- * bdi_thresh
* thresh thresh
*/
span = (thresh - bdi_thresh + 8 * write_bw) * (u64)x >> 16;
x_intercept = bdi_setpoint + span;
if (bdi_dirty < x_intercept - span / 4) {
pos_ratio = div64_u64(pos_ratio * (x_intercept - bdi_dirty), <---- bug
x_intercept - bdi_setpoint + 1);
} else
pos_ratio /= 4;
Now my kernel contains d5c9fde3dae75 "mm/page-writeback.c: fix divide by
zero in pos_ratio_polynom", which is suppose to fix a divide by zero by
changing div_u64 to div64_u64(), which changes the divisor parameter
from 32bit to 64bit. But the x_intercept and bdi_setpoint are still
just unsigned longs, which on 32bit systems are 32 bits. Just using
div64_u64() isn't enough, the value passed in must also be 64 bit
otherwise the "x_intercept - bdi_setpoint + 1" will still be truncated
before it gets passed into div64_u64(). I don't see how d5c9fde3dae75
could have fixed anything.
I'd write a patch to fix this, but my wife has me doing other chores.
