This happens when parent_usage == siblings_protected.
We check that usage is bigger than protected, which should imply
parent_usage being bigger than siblings_protected. However, we don't
read (or even update) these values atomically, and they can be out of
sync as the memory state changes under us. A bit of fluctuation around
the target protection isn't a big deal, but we need to handle the div0
case.
Check the parent state explicitly to make sure we have a reasonable
positive value for the divisor.

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.
