From 91b57191cfd152c02ded0745250167d0263084f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 15:59:28 -0800 Subject: mm/vmpressure.c: fix race in vmpressure_work_fn() In some android devices, there will be a "divide by zero" exception. vmpr->scanned could be zero before spin_lock(&vmpr->sr_lock).
