| 214 | Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce |
| 215 | significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be |
| 216 | used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated |
| 217 | with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used |

| 356 | the excess and return it to the allocator. |
| 357 | |
| 358 | If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the |

| 360 | if there are a lot of transient processes. |
| 361 | |
| 362 | If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for |
| 363 | long-term mappings means that the space is wasted. |
| 364 | |
| 365 | Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option |
| 366 | (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of |
| 367 | excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if |
| 368 | no trimming is to occur. |
| 369 | |
| 370 | This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default |
| 371 | of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed. |
