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") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Julian Sikorski belegdol@gmail.com Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/70674dc7-5586-4183-8953-8095567e73df@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Kuan-Wei Chiu visitorckw@gmail.com --- v2 -> v3: - Remove #include <linux/sort.h> - Cc @stable
Note: I only performed a build test and a simple unit test to ensure the latency of valid elements is correctly sorted in the randomly generated data.
