free page from the top to the bottom in the zone. The end result looks as if non-contiguous (although it actually is). What's worth is that it leads to an overflow of BDL entries for HD-audio.

For avoiding such a problem, this patch modifies the allocation code slightly; now it tries to allocate the larger contiguous chunks as much as possible, then reduces to the smaller chunks only if the allocation failed -- a similar strategy as the existing snd_dma_alloc_pages_fallback() function.
Ack, this seems like a good change. I can see the BDL entries could run out in some cases with the old code.
