The memory allocation is quite complicated, and makes this function hard to understand. Refactor things so that a function call sets up the WR, SG, DMA mapping and buffer, further splitting that into buffer and DMA/wr. This also slightly changes the buffer allocation logic to try an order 0 page allocation (with OOM warnings on) before going to the emergency page.

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.
