Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm/damon/core: avoid divide-by-zero from pseudo-moving window length calculation

When calculating the pseudo-moving access rate, DAMON divides some
values by the maximum nr_accesses.  However, due to the type of the
related variables, simple division-based calculation of the divisor can
return zero.  As a result, divide-by-zero is possible.  Fix it by using
damon_max_nr_accesses(), which handles the case.

Note that this is a fix for a commit that not in the mainline but mm
tree.

Fixes: ace30fb21af5 ("mm/damon/core: use pseudo-moving sum for nr_accesses_bp")
Signed-off-by: SeongJae Park <sj@...nel.org>

Note that this is for a patch in mm-stable that not yet merged into the
mainline.
