Current code does not contemplate scenarios were an allocation and free operation on the same pages do not handle it in the same amount at once. To give an example, page_alloc_exact(), where we will allocate a page of enough order to stafisfy the size request, but we will free the remainings right away. In the above example, we will increment the stack_record refcount only once, but we will decrease it the same number of times as number of unused pages we have to free. This will lead to a warning because of refcount imbalance. Fix this by recording the number of base pages in the refcount field.

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 reStructuredText 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.
