  268. If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
  269. system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
  270. if there are a lot of transient processes.
  271. If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
  272. long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
  273. Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
  274. (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
