Okay, it's simple one, I will add it.

I think I used it as you said. e.g., I want to trim 256 (* minimum
discard granularity),
First time, I can find 10 entries. and trimmed has 10 and len has still 256.
next time, I found the 246 free entries then trim remaining 246 one.

do you want to trim it more than given len?
