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.

It is required to print 'count' of pages, along with the pages, passed to cma_release to debug the cases of mismatched count value passed between cma_alloc() and cma_release() from a code path. As an example, consider the below scenario: 1) CMA pool size is 4MB and 2) User doing the erroneous step of allocating 2 pages but freeing 1 page in a loop from this CMA pool. The step 2 causes cma_alloc() to return NULL at one point of time because of -ENOMEM condition. And the current pr_debug logs is not giving the info about these types of allocation patterns because of count value not being printed in cma_release(). We are printing the count value in the trace logs, just extend the same to pr_debug logs too.
