Re: [PATCH] pac_common: redesign function for finding Start Of Frame

From: NÃmeth MÃrton
Date: Sun Oct 04 2009 - 16:58:20 EST


Hi,

I wrote a simple test for pac_find_sof(). I implemented a user-space test
which takes the implementation from the source file and calls it directly.
You can find the source code of the test attached.

The test results for the pac_find_sof() implementation in the Linux kernel
2.6.32-rc1 is the following:

Test case 1: exact match
PDEBUG: SOF found, bytes to analyze: 5. Frame starts at byte #5
PASSED

Test case 2: offset 1
PDEBUG: SOF found, bytes to analyze: 6. Frame starts at byte #6
PASSED

Test case 3: offset 1, first byte may be misleading
FAILED

Test case 4: offset 2, first two bytes may be misleading
PDEBUG: SOF found, bytes to analyze: 7. Frame starts at byte #7
PASSED

Test case 5: offset 3, first three bytes may be misleading
FAILED

Test case 6: offset 4, first four bytes may be misleading
FAILED

Test case 7: pattern starts at end of packet and continues in the next one
PDEBUG: SOF found, bytes to analyze: 1. Frame starts at byte #1
PASSED

Test case 8: splited pattern, with misleading first byte
FAILED

Test case 9: splited pattern, with misleading first three bytes
FAILED

Test case 10: no match, extra byte at offset 1
PASSED

Test case 11: no match, extra byte at offset 2
PASSED

Test case 12: no match, extra byte at offset 3
PASSED

Test case 13: no match, extra byte at offset 4
PASSED

I also executed the test with the patched pac_find_sof() implementation
and that one passes all these test cases.
