In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/damon/reclaim: avoid divide-by-zero in damonreclaimapplyparameters()

When creating a new scheme of DAMONRECLAIM, the calculation of 'minageregion' uses 'aggrinterval' as the divisor, which may lead to division-by-zero errors. Fix it by directly returning -EINVAL when such a case occurs.
