359 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
360 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
361 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
362 the excess and return it to the allocator.
363
364 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
365 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
366 if there are a lot of transient processes.
367
368 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
369 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
370
371 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
372 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
373 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
374 no trimming is to occur.
