Using a managed buffer will pre-allocate the buffer using snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages() and automatically free it when the PCM is destroyed. In addition it will call snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages() before the driver's hw_params() callback and snd_pcm_lib_free_pages() after the driver's hw_free() callback. This slightly reduces the boilerplate code of the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
