Average RTT could become zero. This happened in real life at least twice.
This patch treats zero as 1us.

Thank you for finding and fixing this.

Why is this code using expensive 64 bit by 64 bit divide when avg_rtt should never be bigger
than 32 bits?

BTW, this div64_u64() could be replaced by a u32 divide (aka do_div()),
slightly less expensive.


rate64 = ((u64)sample->in_flight) * 80000;
do_div(rate64, avg_rtt ?: 1);
rate = (u32)rate64;

Applied and queued up for -stable, thank you.

Indeed, as others have mentioned, a cheaper divide should be used
but that is a separate issue from this fix and therefore should be
done in a separate patch.

Thanks again.
