Re2: [PATCH] fix /boot/loader for extended slices


From: Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 12:20:39 -0800 (PST)

    Ok, I've gone through it and cleaned up a bunch of stuff.  I
    changed your pre-increment in the recursion with code to properly
    set the starting extended slice to 4 and then post-incrementing
    (instead of setting it to 3 and pre-incremented, which is confusing
    to say the least).

    I also added in a bounds check against the maximum size of the
    in-memory array to avoid overflows.

    Then, and this is the part I'm not sure about, I noticed that
    your extended partition recursion check was not iterating through
    the four slice table entries in each extended slice.  It seemed
    to be checking just the first one.  So I changed it to iterate.

    And, finally, after looking at the kernel slice table scanner I
    noticed that the kernel seems to use a breadth-first traversal
    whereas the boot loader appears to have been using a depth-first
    traversal.  I changed the boot-loader to use a breadth-first
    traversal.

    My test boxes are not currently setup with extended partitions
    so I would appreciate testing.
