Hi Ricardo,
sorry for the late answer, but the leak I mentioned in my first reply is still
there, see below.

The return statement doesn't make sense in the while() scope, that way you
wouldn't need the loop at all.
To prevent leaking pages of prior iterations (those with higher orders), pull
the return out of there:
while (last_page--)
__free_page(buf->pages[last_page]);
return -ENOMEM;

Andre
