To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off 736 the excess and return it to the allocator. 737 738 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the 739 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly 740 if there are a lot of transient processes. 741 742 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for 743 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted. 744 745 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option 746 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of 747 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if 748 no trimming is to occur. 749 750 This option specifies the initial value of this option.
