First stall_backoff is off by 1 but that shouldn't make any difference.

No the reason I used the bias is to converge for MAX_STALL_BACKOFF. If
you have target which is not divisible by MAX_STALL_BACKOFF then the
rounding would get target > 0 and so we wouldn't converge. With the +1
you underflow which is MAX_STALL_BACKOFF in maximum which should be
fixed up by the free memory. Maybe a check for free < MAX_STALL_BACKOFF
would be good but I didn't get that far with this.

Removed. Thanks!
