In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-iocost: fix divide by 0 error in calc_lcoefs()
echo max of u64 to cost.model can cause divide by 0 error.
# echo 8:0 rbps=18446744073709551615 > /sys/fs/cgroup/io.cost.model
divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

calc_lcoefs() uses the input value of cost.model in DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL,
overflow would happen if bps plus IOC_PAGE_SIZE is greater than
ULLONG_MAX, it can cause divide by 0 error.
Fix the problem by setting basecost
