commit 5c1733e33c upstream.
Currently the standard memory allocator (snd_dma_malloc_pages*())
passes the byte size to allocate as is. Most of the backends
allocates real pages, hence the actual allocations are aligned in page
size. However, the genalloc doesn't seem assuring the size alignment,
hence it may result in the access outside the buffer when the whole
memory pages are exposed via mmap.
For avoiding such inconsistencies, this patch makes the allocation
size always to be aligned in page size.
Note that, after this change, snd_dma_buffer.bytes field contains the
aligned size, not the originally requested size. This value is also
used for releasing the pages in return.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
