There is one more function that wants to know how much space per object
is spent for management. It's calculate_slab_order():

        if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB) {
                /*
                 * Max number of objs-per-slab for caches which
                 * use off-slab slabs. Needed to avoid a possible
                 * looping condition in cache_grow().
                 */
                offslab_limit = size;
                offslab_limit /= sizeof(freelist_idx_t);

                if (num > offslab_limit)
                        break;
        }

May be, we should update it too?

Thanks.
