Nit pick

The comment says this is called after a successful allocation but that
is only true in one case. s/allocation/compaction/ ?

reset_shift says what it does but not why and exposes an unnecessary. If
this sees a second revision, maybe consider renaming it to something like
alloc_success?

With or without changes;
