nobar's answer almost worked for me, but I was getting a syntax error:

==15566== FATAL: in suppressions file "suppresion.error.txt" near line 4:

==15566== exiting now.

For system calls, I needed to add an extra line as the docs state:

Param errors have a mandatory extra information line at this point,
which is the name of the offending system call parameter.

So I ended up with this and it worked:

{
   
   Memcheck:Param
   mmap(length)
   ...
   fun:function_from_offending_lib
   ...
}
