[PATCH 1/3] ktest: Fix off-by-one in config bisect result

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jun 02 2011 - 15:15:39 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@xxxxxxxxxx>

Because in perl the array size returned by $#arr, is the last
index and not the actually size of the array, we end the config
bisect early, thinking there is only one config left when there
are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking
the correct config that caused the problem.
