Division by zero in kernel!

[xiaoqi243]

Hi, guys
I write a driver for camera ov9655 based-s3c2440. When I test the driver, the system show me division by zero in kernel and the test routine is blocked! what can I do someting with this bug.


The following image is the information that the systme show me:
Division by zero in kernel.

All this debug info is useless! Please post kernel drive code here. If you are dividing by a variable value, test the variable for 0 before you try to do the divide. Also, you cannot do floating point math in the kernel - integer math only. So, if you are doing a divide in a kernel module, try a left shift operation instead!
