The current implementation of usbdev_mmap uses usb_alloc_coherent to
allocate memory pages that will later be mapped into the user space.
Meanwhile, usb_alloc_coherent employs three different methods to
allocate memory, as outlined below:
* If hcd->localmem_pool is non-null, it uses gen_pool_dma_alloc to
allocate memory;
* If DMA is not available, it uses kmalloc to allocate memory;
* Otherwise, it uses dma_alloc_coherent.
However, it should be noted that gen_pool_dma_alloc does not guarantee
that the resulting memory will be page-aligned. Furthermore, trying to
map slab pages (i.e., memory allocated by kmalloc) into the user space
is not resonable and can lead to problems, such as a type confusion bug
when PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y [1].
To address these issues, this patch introduces hcd_alloc_coherent_pages,
which addresses the above two problems. Specifically,
hcd_alloc_coherent_pages uses gen_pool_dma_alloc_align instead of
gen_pool_dma_alloc to ensure that the memory is page-aligned. To replace
kmalloc, hcd_alloc_coherent_pages directly allocates pages by calling
__get_free_pages.
