#1702741 — [PATCH] mm/vmstat: fix divide error at __fragmentation_index

From: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@zte.com.cn>

When order is -1 or too big, *1UL << order* will be 0, which will
cause divide error like this,

    divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP
    Call Trace:
     [<ffffffff81168423>] compaction_suitable+0x63/0xc0

The trace seems to be from an old and non-mainline kernel, as it's the
same as you reported here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196555

In current mainline it seems to me that all callers of
__fragmentation_index() will only do so with a valid order.

I wouldn't mind making a non-hotpath code more robust, but probably in a
more obvious and self-reporting/documented way e.g. something like

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER))
	return 0;

Seems the indentation is broken here (spaces vs tabs).

Thanks,
