365 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
366 the excess and return it to the allocator.
367
368 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
369 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
370 if there are a lot of transient processes.
371
372 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
373 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
374
375 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
376 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
377 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
378 no trimming is to occur.
