  275. If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
  276. system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
  277. if there are a lot of transient processes.
  278. If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
  279. long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
  280. Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
