[PATCH 5.10 2/5] memblock: align freed memory map on pageblock boundaries with SPARSEMEM

From: Mark-PK Tsai <mark-pk.tsai@mediatek.com>
Date: 2021-12-13 09:44:23
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml, stable
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

From: Mike Rapoport <redacted>

[ Upstream commit f921f53e089a12a192808ac4319f28727b35dc0f ]

When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y the ranges of the memory map that are freed are not
aligned to the pageblock boundaries which breaks assumptions about
homogeneity of the memory map throughout core mm code.

Make sure that the freed memory map is always aligned on pageblock
boundaries regardless of the memory model selection.
