Subject: [PATCH 0/2] nsrepair2: Improve sorting performance and add tests
Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2026 13:03:32 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260201130334.3107-1-sef1548@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch series improves the ACPI nsrepair2 sorting implementation
and adds comprehensive KUnit tests.
Patch 1 replaces the O(n²) bubble sort algorithm in acpi_ns_sort_list()
with the kernel's sort_r() function, which uses heapsort to achieve
O(n log n) time complexity. This improves performance when sorting
large ACPI package lists (e.g., _PSS, _TSS) while reducing code
complexity by leveraging the existing kernel sort API.
Patch 2 adds KUnit tests to verify the repair functions in nsrepair2.c,
covering:
- ACPI operand object creation (integer, string, buffer, package)
- Namespace node creation and NAMESEG comparison
- Package structures for _PSS, _CST, _ALR, _PRT methods
- _HID string format verification
- _FDE buffer expansion
- Sorting logic with ascending/descending order
