Now that we can dynamically allocate DMA debug entries to cope with drivers maintaining excessively large numbers of live mappings, a driver which *does* actually have a bug leaking mappings (and is not unloaded) will no longer trigger the "DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling" message until it gets to actual kernel OOM conditions, which means it could go unnoticed for a while. To that end, let's inform the user each time the pool has grown to a multiple of its initial size, which should make it apparent that they either have a leak or might want to increase the preallocation size.

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.
