[PATCH v2] ACPI: processor_idle: Fix invalid comparison with insertion sort for latency

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The acpi_cst_latency_cmp comparison function currently used for sorting
C-state latencies does not satisfy transitivity, causing incorrect
sorting results. Specifically, if there are two valid acpi_processor_cx
elements A and B and one invalid element C, it may occur that A < B,
A = C, and B = C. Sorting algorithms assume that if A < B and A = C,
then C < B, leading to incorrect ordering.

Given the small size of the array (<=8), we replace the library sort
function with a simple insertion sort that properly ignores invalid
elements and sorts valid ones based on latency. This change ensures
correct ordering of the C-state latencies.

Fixes: 65ea8f2c6e23 ("ACPI: processor idle: Fix up C-state latency if not ordered")

v1 -> v2:
- Avoid swapping if arr[i] is an invalid element.

I do not have the appropriate AMD hardware to reproduce this issue and
test the patch. However, if the aforementioned reason is indeed the
source of the problem, I believe this patch might help.
