[PATCH 2/4] staging: comedi: addi_apci_3120: don't overallocate DMA buffer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
