359 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
360 the excess and return it to the allocator.
361
362 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
363 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
364 if there are a lot of transient processes.
365
366 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
367 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
368
369 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
370 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
371 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
372 no trimming is to occur.
