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 `apci3120_auto_attach()` 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 `ui_DmaBufferPages` member of `struct addi_private` to `ui_DmaBufferPageOrder` and rename the `pages` local variable to `order` to make it clearer what it is. Note: `struct addi_private` is used by some other ADDI-DATA drivers as well, but this is the only one using the affected members.
