Currently, memmap_on_memory feature is only supported with memory block sizes that result in vmemmap pages covering full page blocks. This is because memory onlining/offlining code requires applicable ranges to be pageblock-aligned, for example, to set the migratetypes properly. This patch helps to lift that restriction by reserving more pages than required for vmemmap space. This helps the start address to be page block aligned with different memory block sizes. Using this facility implies the kernel will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock. This allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful with different memory block size values. For ex: with 64K page size and 256MiB memory block size, we require 4 pages to map vmemmap pages, To align things correctly we end up adding a reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096 pages 28 pages get reserved.

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.
