thank you for reply. However, I am not very sure to be
vary agree with you.

after assigned the calculated initial value for "i",
it is very close to the break value for the next while
loop, actually, it is only one loop at most, so "i"
never goes to be
i*size + L1_CACHE_ALIGN(base+i*extra) > wastage +
L1_CACHE_BYTES

so, we do not need change the line 399 of slab.c.

thanks,

chen
