SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 2/3] CMA: aggressively allocate the pages on cma reserved memory when not used
I found 2 problems at my platform.

1st is occured when I set CMA size 528MB and total memory is 960MB.
I print some values in adjust_managed_cma_page_count(),
the total value becomes 105439 and cma value 131072.
Finally movable value becomes negative value.

The total value 105439 means 411MB.
Is the zone->managed_pages value pages amount except the CMA?
I think zone->managed_pages value is including CMA size but it's value is strange.

2nd is a kernel panic at __netdev_alloc_skb().
I'm not sure it is caused by the CMA.
I'm checking it again and going to send you another report with detail call-stacks.
