    ALSA: Replace snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() with standard helpers, take#2 · 734b5a0b
    Takashi Iwai authored
    snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() are merely thin wrappers of
    the standard page allocator / free functions.  Even the arguments are
    compatible with some standard helpers, so there is little merit of
    keeping these wrappers.
    
    This patch replaces the all existing callers of snd_malloc_pages() and
    snd_free_pages() with the direct calls of the standard helper
    functions.  In this version, we use a recently introduced one,
    alloc_pages_exact(), which suits better than the old
    snd_malloc_pages() implementation for our purposes.  Then we can avoid
    the waste of pages by alignment to power-of-two.
    
    Since alloc_pages_exact() does split pages, we need no longer
    __GFP_COMP flag; or better to say, we must not pass __GFP_COMP to
    alloc_pages_exact().  So the former unconditional addition of
    __GFP_COMP flag in snd_malloc_pages() is dropped, as well as in most
    other places.
