The technical details of the issue include the prevention of a division by 0 when monitoring is not enabled, specifically in the
sysfs component of the scsi: ufs: core.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.74, update to version 6.6.74 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the monitoring feature in the
