This patch looks good to me.  Just a couple questions about object accounting...

Should this be 'cl->objects += objects'?

Do we need to check return value here?

'cl->objects -= objects'?

When shrinking, 'mempool_resize' will not fail... no need to check return value?

It's not important, but 'free_chunks' adjusts the 'cl->free_pages' count for us...  That made me look for where 'cl->free_pages' was adjusted in 'alloc_chunks', but that is done here.  Could we push this critical section into alloc_chunks and then just check the return code of that?
