Subject: [PATCH 08/10] lib/list_sort: selftest: stress algorithm with lists of various lengths
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 08:47:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100824154900.642565584@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100824154721.995117660@gmail.com
[-- Attachment #1: lib_list_sort_-selftest_-expose-bug-with-various-list-lengths-9.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2986 bytes --]
Add a loop that tests lists of various lengths, including
some powers-of-two, which are a corner case for this algorithm.
Signed-off-by: Don Mullis <don.mullis@gmail.com>

Testing verifies that the powers-of-two bug is reported on the boot
console.
