Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mtd: cmdlinepart: sort the unsorted partitions
Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2012 15:43:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346744628-13840-1-git-send-email-b32955@freescale.com> (raw)

Assume we have a 1GB(8Gb) nand chip.
It is legit if we set the partitions as the following:
    gpmi-nand:1g@200m(rootfs),100m@0(boot),100m@100m(kernel)

Unfortunately, the current code can not parse out any partition with this
cmdline. The parse_cmdline_partitions() will meet the
truncated partition `rootfs` firstly. But the parse_cmdline_partitions()
will break its `for` loop with the following line when the truncating occurs.

       ...........................
	part->num_parts = i;
       ...........................

What's worse is that this line has a bug in it. It accidently misses
the truncated partitions. So we can not parse out any partition.

In this case, we should parse out the `boot` and `kernel` partitions at least.
So we need to sort the unsorted partitions. With the sorted partitions, the
parse_cmdline_partitions() can parse out the `boot` and `kernel` successfully.

This patch sorts the unsorted partitions by the @offset.
For there are maybe only several partitions, so the Bubble sort algorithm
is enough.

We also need another patch to fix the missed truncated partition issue.
