UBIFS: fix assertion warnings in comparison function
When running the integrity test ('integck' from mtd-utils) on current UBIFS on 2.6.35, I see that assertions in UBIFS 'list_sort()' comparison functions trigger sometimes, e.g.: UBIFS assert failed in data_nodes_cmp at 132 (pid 28311) My investigation showed that this happens when 'list_sort()' calls the 'cmp()' function with equivalent arguments. In this case, the 'struct list_head' parameter, passed to 'cmp()' is bogus, and it does not belong to any element in the original list. And this issue seems to be introduced by commit: commit 835cc0c8477fdbc59e0217891d6f11061b1ac4e2 Author: Don Mullis <don.mullis@gmail.com> Date: Fri Mar 5 13:43:15 2010 -0800 It is easy to work around the issue by doing: if (a == b) return 0; in UBIFS. It works, but 'lib_sort()' should nevertheless be fixed. Although it is harmless to have this piece of code in UBIFS. This patch adds that code to both UBIFS 'cmp()' functions: 'data_nodes_cmp()' and 'nondata_nodes_cmp()'. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
