 * Due to allocation strategies malloc() allocators may allocate more

 * file I/O.  However, they may be suboptimal for aligned disk file I/O.

#if (NXT_LINUX)

/*
 * Linux glibc stores bookkeeping information together with allocated
 * memory itself.  Size of the bookkeeping information is 12 or 24 bytes
 * on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms respectively.  Due to alignment there
 * are usually 4 or 8 spare bytes respectively.  However, if allocation
 * is larger than about 128K, spare size may be up to one page: glibc aligns
 * sum of allocation and bookkeeping size to a page.  So if requirement
 * of the large allocation size is not strict it is better to allocate
 * with small cutback and then to adjust size with malloc_usable_size().
 * Glibc malloc_usable_size() is fast operation.
