Hi,

I'm not sure this patch really addresses the issue.
But the kernel locks after changing sysctl_sched_rt_period=0.

This patch is against -tip.
I think it's needed to -stable too.

Subject: [PATCH] sched: do not allow sysctl_sched_rt_period=0

sysctl_sched_rt_period=0 makes exception at to_ratio().
