From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit dd4c1b7d0c95be1c9245118a3accc41a16f1db67 upstream. If the number_of_areas argument was zero the kernel would crash on div-by-zero. Add better input validation.
