The functions qat_crypto_get_instance_node() and qat_compression_get_instance_node() allow to get a QAT instance (ring pair) on a device close to the node specified as input parameter. When this is not possible, and a QAT device is available in the system, these function return an instance on a remote node and they print a message reporting that it is not possible to find a device on the specified node. This is interpreted by people as an error rather than an info. The print "Could not find a device on node" indicates that a kernel application is running on a core in a socket that does not have a QAT device directly attached to it and performance might suffer. Due to the nature of the message, this can be considered as a debug message, therefore drop the severity to debug and report it only once to avoid flooding.

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.
