Weird proton log message?

So while going through logs this past weekend, I noticed line after line of this in a steam proton log (created via PROTON_LOG=1 %command% in launch options):

Code:"err:virtual:try_map_free_area mmap() error Operation not permitted"I've increased vm.max_map_count, and that doesn't seem to affect it any. I'm not noticing any crashes or problems, though. I've also got at least 8GB of RAM free when playing a game. (I've been obsessively checking top when running a game after noticing that.) I got more vram free while gaming than I know what to do with now, so that's not the issue, either.

Searching through forums, it's popped up in other people's logs: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ng-4175732254/

So what causes it? Is it something to fix/worry about? I was in a world event in Guild Wars 2 tonight for a solid 40 minutes with graphics absolutely cranked, and no problems.
