Hi Yunsheng -

I made this suggestion for patch 13 (documentation), but want to clarify 
my request here:

> +	if (likely((nc)->remaining))					\

I think it would be more useful to change this line to

 	if ((nc)->remaining >= *fragsz)

That way the caller can use this function to "probe" for a specific amount 
of available space, rather than "nonzero" space. If the caller wants to 
check for available space, they can set *fragsz = 1.

In other words, I think the functionality you described in the 
documentation is better and the code should be changed to match!
