I've spotted a few "int page_count = obj->size / PAGE_SIZE;" so we can't
trust ourselves at all!

I was just about to write it as obj->base.size, Let's compare!

#define overflows_type(x, T) \
	(sizeof(x) < sizeof(T) && (x) > 1 << (sizeof(T) * BITS_PER_BYTE))

  if (overflows_type(size, obj->base.size)

or

  if (overflows_type(size, size_t))

I think obj->base.size looks better from the self-documentation standpoint.
