Modify the check of the return from tcmu_get_attribute("hw_block_size")
to fail if the returned value is zero, so as to avoid dividing by it
a few lines later.

Are you able to set the hw_block_size to 0? I am asking because it looks
like there are a couple checks in the kernel so this should not happen.
Is this with your our of tree use?

Patch seems harmless. Merged. Thanks.

I was having a problem because I was getting the value to return for
"hw_block_size" from a place that wasn't set yet.

I've fixed that, but still, it didn't seem good to go on to a obvious
divide by zero when it is so easy to avoid gracefully should it ever
happen.
