So far the setup of BDL table is performed at the prepare stage, where
all PCM parameters have been already set up. When something wrong
happens at it, we return -EINVAL; it's supposed to be a rare case
since the involved memory allocation is a small chunk of kmalloc for
the table.
However, when we receive too many small non-contiguous pages in highly
fragmented memories, it may overflow the max table size, resulting in
the same -EINVAL error from the prepare, too. A bad scenario is that
user-space cannot know what went wrong (as it's an error from the
prepare stage) and -EINVAL, hence it may retry with the same
parameters, failing again repeatedly.
In this patch, we try to set up the BDL table at hw_params right after
the buffer allocation, and return -ENOMEM if it overflows.
This allows user-space knowing that it should reduce the buffer size
request accordingly and may retry with more fitting parameters.
