commit dfef01e150824b0e6da750cacda8958188d29aea upstream. snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() tries to allocate pages again when the allocation fails with reduced size. But the first try actually *increases* the size to power-of-two, which may give back a larger chunk than the requested size. This confuses the callers, e.g. sgbuf assumes that the size is equal or less, and it may result in a bad loop due to the underflow and eventually lead to Oops. The code of this function seems incorrectly assuming the usage of get_order(). We need to decrease at first, then align to power-of-two.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
