With a memmap size of 56 bytes or 72 bytes per page, the memmap for a 256 MB section won't span full PMDs. As we populate single sections and depopulate single sections, the depopulation step would not be able to free all vmemmap pmds anymore. Do it similarly to x86, marking the unused memmap ranges in a special way (pad it with 0xFD). This allows us to add/remove sections, cleaning up all allocated vmemmap pages even if the memmap size is not multiple of 16 bytes per page. A 56 byte memmap can, for example, be created with !CONFIG_MEMCG and !CONFIG_SLUB.

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.
