Subject: [PATCH-2.4] EXT3: avoid crashing due to divide by zero

Hi Stephen,

I've been having this very old patch in my queue that has been merged
in 2.6 but not in 2.4. As I've been hit at least once by this problem,
I'm about to merge it into 2.4 too, as well as its ext2 equivalent
(equally in 2.6). Do you have any objection ?

Thanks in advance,
Willy

Subject: [PATCH] EXT3: avoid crashing by not dividing by zero.

backport a few checks from 2.6 to avoid dividing by zero on invalid
superblocks.
