Well, since it seems to be clearly broken without it, I'd take it, but now
I'm kind of waiting for the resolution on whether that second "-1" is
correct or not.

From a quick look at mm/slob.c I see Pekka's point that ->units does look
like the real size in units, not the "size plus header", and that the
second -1 may be bogus.

But I don't know the code.

Peter - can you check with that

thing using

- return ((slob_t *)block - 1)->units + SLOB_UNIT;
+ return ((slob_t *)block - 1)->units * SLOB_UNIT;

instead?

Linus
