Subject: [PATCH 3/3] malloc_trim: clean up idle arenas immediately
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2022 09:14:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221120091424.2420768-4-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221120091424.2420768-1-e@80x24.org>

There's no need to worry about race conditions if operating on
idle arenas, so clean them up immediately rather than cleaning
them up after a pthread_create (which may never come).

We'll also inform active threads about the trim earlier so they
have more cycles to react to the lazy trim request.
