From 05c14c03138532a3cb2aa29c2960445c8753343b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2017 21:52:44 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Fix incorrect comparison in memord 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.
