Now the define name better explains what happens. I would name it
MEMPOOL_F_CHUNK_PAGE_ALIGN to have MEMPOOL_F_ prefix for all flags,
but it is minor. More important is what is behind and I have doubts that
it is
a right way to go.
I have already asked what is the final goal (but agree that question is
unclear).
Personally I doubt that the final goal is just having chunk page aligned.
It looks like the patch makes an assumption on how chunk is sliced into
objects/elements and the property of chunk address allows to achieve some
goal with elements start address. It looks very fragile and easily breakable
with other flags (or no flags).
Also prefix should be just "mempool:", not "lib/mempool".
