From 50cdfd10fe09c79700c1b06928c7a736cb3cafeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Ditto Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 09:46:17 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Replace the bubble sort in sanitize_e820_map() with a call to the generic kernel sort function to avoid pathological performance with large maps. On large (thousands of entries) E820 maps, the previous code took minutes to run; with this change it's now milliseconds.
