It seems that I got no responses so far for clarification requests according to the documentation in a direction I hoped for.
That's because you are pretty unresponsive to direction.
From which places did you get this impression?
How many times have I told you to include the reason for your patches in your proposed commit message? Too often.
For instance, specific to this patch:
Many people do not know that a generic kmalloc does a dump_stack() on OOM. That information should be part of the commit message.
Also removing the printk code reduces overall code size. The actual size reduction should be described in the commit message too.
