✨ NAME ✨

GPU_BUDDY_TRIM_DISABLE — Disable automatic block trimming 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

GPU_BUDDY_TRIM_DISABLE

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so by default, if an allocation is smaller than the allocated block, the excess memory is trimmed and returned to the free pool. no cap. 💖

this flag disables trimming, so the full power-of-two block size stays put. it’s giving “keep the whole block, bestie” energy. 🫶

tl;dr: GPU_BUDDY_TRIM_DISABLE = trimming is off, and the full power-of-two block size stays. periodt. 💅
