sparse_buffer_alloc(xsize) gets the 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, 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.
In ARM64 platform (with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP)
sparse_buffer_init
Reserve ffffffc07d623000 - ffffffc07f623000 (32M)
Sparse_buffer_alloc
Alloc ffffffc07d800000 - ffffffc07f600000 (30M)
Sparse_buffer_fini
Free ffffffc07f600000 - ffffffc07f623000 (140K)
The reserved memory between ffffffc07d623000 - ffffffc07d800000
(~=1.9M) is unfreed.
Let's explicit free redundant aligned memory.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
