NAME
       snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages - pre-allocation for the given DMA type


SYNOPSIS
       int snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages  (snd_pcm_substream_t * substream,
                                            int type, struct device * data,
                                            size_t size, size_t max);


ARGUMENTS
       substream
              the pcm substream instance

       type   DMA type (SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_*)

       data   DMA type dependant data

       size   the requested pre-allocation size in bytes

       max    the max. allowed pre-allocation size


DESCRIPTION
       Do pre-allocation for the given DMA buffer type.

       When  substream->dma_buf_id  is set, the function tries to look for the
       reserved  buffer,  and  the  buffer  is  not  freed  but  reserved   at
       destruction time. The dma_buf_id must be unique for all systems (in the
       same DMA buffer type) e.g. using snd_dma_pci_buf_id.

       Returns zero if successful, or a negative error code on failure.
