From: Ian Abbott Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 09:04:43 +0000 (+0100) Subject: staging: comedi: adl_pci9118: don't overallocate DMA buffer X-Git-Tag: fixes-for-v3.18-merge-window~15^2~435 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f39f87e9ea944ca07b53d8261ba60bfbf4f097da;p=pandora-kernel.git staging: comedi: adl_pci9118: don't overallocate DMA buffer The last parameter of `__get_free_pages()` is log2 (the 'order') of the number of pages to be allocated. This driver seems to think it is the linear number of pages, so `pci9118_alloc_dma()` first tries to allocate 16 pages, but only uses 4 of them, setting the buffer size to PAGE_SIZE multiplied by the 'order'. If the allocation fails, it tries progressively smaller orders, down to 0. If the allocation at order 0 succeeds, the buffer size is set to 0, which is likely to cause problems. Set the buffer size to `PAGE_SIZE` shifted left by the allocation order. Since the maximum buffer size previously used was 4, start with an allocation order of 2 instead of 4. Rename the `pages` member of `struct pci9118_dmabuf` (and the local variable in `pci9118_alloc_dma()`) to `order` to make it clearer what it is.
