ALSA: memalloc: Try dma_alloc_noncontiguous() at first
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 9d8e536 upstream.

The latest fix for the non-contiguous memalloc helper changed the
allocation method for a non-IOMMU system to use only the fallback
allocator.  This should have worked, but it caused a problem sometimes
when too many non-contiguous pages are allocated that can't be treated
by HD-audio controller.

As a quirk workaround, go back to the original strategy: use
dma_alloc_noncontiguous() at first, and apply the fallback only when
it fails, but only for non-IOMMU case.

We'll need a better fix in the fallback code as well, but this
workaround should paper over most cases.
