sgl_alloc_order() can fail when 'length' is large on a memory constrained system. When order > 0 it will potentially be making several multi-page allocations with the later ones more likely to fail than the earlier one. So it is important that sgl_alloc_order() frees up any pages it has obtained before returning NULL. In the case when order > 0 it calls the wrong free page function and leaks. In testing the leak was sufficient to bring down my 8 GiB laptop with OOM.
