4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <ti...@suse.de>
commit dfef01e150824b0e6da750cacda8958188d29aea upstream.
snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() tries to allocate pages again when the
allocation fails with reduced size. But the first try actually
*increases* the size to power-of-two, which may give back a larger
chunk than the requested size. This confuses the callers, e.g. sgbuf
assumes that the size is equal or less, and it may result in a bad
loop due to the underflow and eventually lead to Oops.
The code of this function seems incorrectly assuming the usage of
get_order(). We need to decrease at first, then align to
power-of-two.
