From: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit dd4c1b7d0c95be1c9245118a3accc41a16f1db67 upstream. If the number_of_areas argument was zero the kernel would crash on div-by-zero. Add better input validation.
