cc26516374
Currently the fallback SG allocation tries to allocate each single
page, and this tends to result in the reverse order of memory
addresses when large space is available at boot, as the kernel takes a
free page from the top to the bottom in the zone. The end result
looks as if non-contiguous (although it actually is). What's worse is
that it leads to an overflow of BDL entries for HD-audio.
For avoiding such a problem, this patch modifies the allocation code
slightly; now it tries to allocate the larger contiguous chunks as
much as possible, then reduces to the smaller chunks only if the
allocation failed -- a similar strategy as the existing
snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() function.
Along with the trick, drop the unused address array from
snd_dma_sg_fallback object. It was needed in the past when
dma_alloc_coherent() was used, but with the standard page allocator,
it became superfluous and never referred.
