A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case
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.

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.
