[  173.985403] page dumped because: nonzero _refcount

The refcount set to 1 when cma_alloc() by set_page_refcounted(), and it
will be dec to 0 in cma_release() by put_page_testzero(), there may be a problem somewhere else?

Could you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGE_REF, and try to track down page reference manipulation by tracepoint? or for CMA-related
pages, introduce explicit printk both increments and decrements of the page reference count to identify the root cause of the issue.

Something strange is going on. I enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_VM by itself and the issue went away. Let me try CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGE_REF.
