<title>ALSA: Replace snd_malloc_pages() and snd_free_pages() with standard helpers, take#2</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Since we covered all callers with NULL device pointer, let's catch the
remaining calls with NULL and warn explicitly.

<content type='text'>
As a preparatory patch for the upcoming -Wimplicit-fallthrough
compiler checks, add the "fall through" annotation in
snd_dma_alloc_pages().  Note that this seems necessary to be put
exactly before the next label, so it's outside the ifdef block.

<title>ALSA: memalloc: Add non-cached buffer type</title>

<id>urn:sha1:42e748a0b3251cca0de2c269ca106884907eb289</id>
<content type='text'>
In some cases (mainly for x86), we need the DMA coherent buffer with
non-cached pages.  Although this has been done in each driver side
like HD-audio and intel8x0, it can be done cleaner in the core memory
allocator.

This patch adds the new types, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_UC and
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV_UC_SG, for allocating such non-cached buffer
pages.  On non-x86 architectures, they work as same as the standard
SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_DEV and *_SG.

One additional change by this move is that we can assure to pass the
non-cached pgprot to the vmapped buffer, too.  It eventually fixes the
case like non-snoop mode without mmap access on HD-audio.

<title>ALSA: memalloc: Simplify snd_malloc_dev_pages() calls</title>

snd_malloc_dev_pages() and snd_free_dev_pages() are local functions
and the parameters passed there are all contained in snd_dma_buffer
object.  As a code-simplification, pass snd_dma_buffer object and
assign the address there like other allocators do (except for
snd_malloc_pages() which is called from outside, hence we can't change
easily).

Only code refactoring, no functional changes.

The size passed to dma_alloc_coherent() doesn't have to be aligned
with power-of-two, rather it should be the raw size.  As a minor
optimization, remove the size adjustment in the current code.

snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() tries to allocate pages again when the
allocation fails with reduced size.  But the first try actually
*increases* the size to power-of-two, which may give back a larger
chunk than the requested size.  This confuses the callers, e.g. sgbuf
assumes that the size is equal or less, and it may result in a bad
loop due to the underflow and eventually lead to Oops.

The code of this function seems incorrectly assuming the usage of
get_order().  We need to decrease at first, then align to
power-of-two.

Just a tidy up to follow the standard EXPORT_SYMBOL*() declarations
in order to improve grep-ability.

- Move EXPORT_SYMBOL*() to the position right after its definition
- Remove superfluous blank line before EXPORT_SYMBOL*() lines

<content type='text'>
To be consistent with other kernel interface namings, rename
of_get_named_gen_pool() to of_gen_pool_get().  In the original function
name "_named" suffix references to a device tree property, which contains
a phandle to a device and the corresponding device driver is assumed to
register a gen_pool object.

Due to a weak relation and to avoid any confusion (e.g.  in future
possible scenario if gen_pool objects are named) the suffix is removed.
