37 in their physical address spaces, and this option provides

320 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
321 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
322 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
323 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
324 the excess and return it to the allocator.
325
326 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
327 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
328 if there are a lot of transient processes.
329
330 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
331 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
332
333 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
334 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
335 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
336 no trimming is to occur.
