ext3, ext4: avoid divide by zero
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As it turns out, the kernel divides by EXT3_INODES_PER_GROUP(s) when
mounting an ext3 filesystem.  If that number is zero, a crash follows.
Below a patch.

This crash was reported by Joeri de Ruiter, Carst Tankink and Pim Vullers.
