Thank you Michal Hocko. I added like this
If CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG is enabled, avabile pages also will be shown as concatenated
size@position format. So 4@572 means that there are 4 available pages at 572
position starting from 0 position.

Thank you Michal Nazarewicz
I moved the pr_debug right before return
     pr_debug("%s(): returned %p\n", __func__, page);
     return page;

Thank you
I changed like this, it should be if(ret) rather than if(!ret)

+        pr_info("%s: alloc failed, req-size: %zu pages, ret: %d\n",

Thank you I will take this way.

Thank you I will take this way. FYI struct cma address should be passed as a argument.
+#ifdef CONFIG_CMA_DEBUG
+static void debug_show_cma_areas(struct cma *cma)
+{
...
+#else

Thank you all of you.
Let me reattach my full patch to be clear.
Let me know if I resend this as a new mail thread.
