From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
