Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 192/192] bcache: fix potential div-zero error of writeback_rate_p_term_inverse

From: Coly Li <colyli@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 5b5fd3c94eef69dcfaa8648198e54c92e5687d6d ]

Current code already uses d_strtoul_nonzero() to convert input string
to an unsigned integer, to make sure writeback_rate_p_term_inverse
won't be zero value. But overflow may happen when converting input
string to an unsigned integer value by d_strtoul_nonzero(), then
dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse can still be set to 0 even if the
sysfs file input value is not zero, e.g. 4294967296 (a.k.a UINT_MAX+1).

If dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse is set to 0, it might cause a
dev-zero error in following code from __update_writeback_rate(),
	int64_t proportional_scaled =
		div_s64(error, dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse);

This patch replaces d_strtoul_nonzero() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() and
limit the value range in [1, UINT_MAX]. Then the unsigned integer
overflow and dev-zero error can be avoided.
