As suggested by Jens [1], I audited all mempools on pblk. This patche series (i) fixes bad mempool allocations that did not guarantee forward progress and downsizes the sizes of some overused mempools, (ii) removes unnecessary checks, and (iii) eliminates some mempools that where introduced in early versions of pblk.
