sparse_buffer_alloc(size) get size of memory from sparsemap_buf after being aligned with the size. However, the size is at least PAGE_ALIGN(sizeof(struct page) * PAGES_PER_SECTION) and usually larger than PAGE_SIZE. Also, the Sparse_buffer_fini() only frees memory between sparsemap_buf and sparsemap_buf_end, since sparsemap_buf may be changed by PTR_ALIGN() first, the aligned space before sparsemap_buf is wasted and no one will touch it. In our ARM32 platform (without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP) Sparse_buffer_init Reserve d359c000 - d3e9c000 (9M) Sparse_buffer_alloc Alloc d3a00000 - d3E80000 (4.5M) Sparse_buffer_fini Free d3e80000 - d3e9c000 (~=100k) The reserved memory between d359c000 - d3a00000 (~=4.4M) is unfreed.
