    ALSA: memalloc: Align buffer allocations in page size · 5c1733e3
    Takashi Iwai 提交于
    Currently the standard memory allocator (snd_dma_malloc_pages*())
    passes the byte size to allocate as is.  Most of the backends
    allocates real pages, hence the actual allocations are aligned in page
    size.  However, the genalloc doesn't seem assuring the size alignment,
    hence it may result in the access outside the buffer when the whole
    memory pages are exposed via mmap.
    
    For avoiding such inconsistencies, this patch makes the allocation
    size always to be aligned in page size.
    
    Note that, after this change, snd_dma_buffer.bytes field contains the
    aligned size, not the originally requested size.  This value is also
    used for releasing the pages in return.
