> When updating the chunk's contig_hint on the free path of a hint that does not
> touch the page boundaries, it was incorrectly using the starting offset of the
> free region and the block's contig_hint. This could lead to incorrect
> assumptions about fit given a size and better alignment of the start. Fix this by
> using (end - start) as this is only called when updating a hint within a block.
