Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2017 15:50:33 +0000 From: alexander.levin@...izon.com To: "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, "stable@...r.kernel.org" <stable@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>, alexander.levin@...izon.com Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 086/101] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix incorrect comparison in memord From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au> [ Upstream commit 05c14c03138532a3cb2aa29c2960445c8753343b ] In the hv-24x7 code there is a function memord() which tries to implement a sort function return -1, 0, 1. However one of the conditions is incorrect, such that it can never be true, because we will have already returned. I don't believe there is a bug in practice though, because the comparisons are an optimisation prior to calling memcmp(). Fix it by swapping the second comparision, so it can be true.
