You're misunderstanding me, I meant that the first test is done AFTER the first iteration is executed, so my fix is correct since, even if order is 0 because at least one iteration of the loop is done, and the post decrement makes sure that the test succeeds if order was 0 going into the loop.
Changing order to a signed long loses half of the cache entries due to the number being divided by 2. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
