[ Upstream commit82ef1370b0] Commitcfd7323772("ext4: add prefetching for block allocation bitmaps") introduced block bitmap prefetch, and expects to read block bitmaps of flex_bg through an IO. However, it seems to ignore the value range of s_log_groups_per_flex. In the scenario where the value of s_log_groups_per_flex is greater than 27, s_mb_prefetch or s_mb_prefetch_limit will overflow, cause a divide zero exception. In addition, the logic of calculating nr is also flawed, because the size of flexbg is fixed during a single mount, but s_mb_prefetch can be modified, which causes nr to fail to meet the value condition of [1, flexbg_size]. To solve this problem, we need to set the upper limit of s_mb_prefetch. Since we expect to load block bitmaps of a flex_bg through an IO, we can consider determining a reasonable upper limit among the IO limit parameters. After consideration, we chose BLK_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE. This is a good choice to solve divide zero problem and avoiding performance degradation.

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.
