A ring buffer which has its buffered mapped at boot up to fixed memory
should not be freed. Other buffers can be. The ref counting setup was
wrong for both. It made the not mapped buffers ref count have zero, and the
boot mapped buffer a ref count of 1. But an normally allocated buffer
should be 1, where it can be removed.
Keep the ref count of a normal boot buffer with its setup ref count (do
not decrement it), and increment the fixed memory boot mapped buffer's ref
count.

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.
