Commitf56ce412a5("mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to proportional memory.low reclaim") introduced a divide by zero corner case when oomd is being used in combination with cgroup memory.low protection. When oomd decides to kill a cgroup, it will force the cgroup memory to be reclaimed after killing the tasks, by writing to the memory.max file for that cgroup, forcing the remaining page cache and reclaimable slab to be reclaimed down to zero. Previously, on cgroups with some memory.low protection that would result in the memory being reclaimed down to the memory.low limit, or likely not at all, having the page cache reclaimed asynchronously later. Withf56ce412a5the oomd write to memory.max tries to reclaim all the way down to zero, which may race with another reclaimer, to the point of ending up with the divide by zero below. This patch implements the obvious fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
