I think "max_size" needs to be recalculated in "cperf_alloc_common_memory",
adding headroom and tailroom size, which will potentially increase the number of segments required.
Then, headroom size needs to be checked in case it is bigger than segment size, so data might need to start in the next segment.
Similar thing for tailroom.
