For INITRD and initmem memory is reserved through "memblock_reserve" during boot up but it is free via "free_reserved_area" instead of "memblock_free". For example: [ 0.294848] Freeing initrd memory: 12K. [ 0.696688] Freeing unused kernel memory: 4096K. To get the start and end address of the above freed memory and to account proper memblock added pr_debug log in "free_reserved_area". After adding log: [ 0.294837] 0x00000083600000-0x00000083603000 free_initrd_mem+0x20/0x28 [ 0.294848] Freeing initrd memory: 12K. [ 0.695246] 0x00000081600000-0x00000081a00000 free_initmem+0x70/0xc8 [ 0.696688] Freeing unused kernel memory: 4096K.
