Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for testing linked list integrity. The method includes storing a plurality of link pointers in memory in association with respective integrity parameters. The link pointers point to a next location in the memory storing a subsequent link pointer in the linked list. The method also includes reading the stored integrity parameter for at least one of the link pointers. The method also includes determining whether the value of the read integrity parameter matches the value of the stored integrity parameter.
