Darn you, GitHub. @mscdex would you mind splitting up in two or more logical commits so we can do inline review? |

Woo! LGTM |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do we really want this "floor of ... divided by two" here? Looks like condition doesn't change if we remove it, Buffer.poolSize >> 1 is rather computation optimization than something users should be aware of.
For example, if Buffer.poolSize would be equal to 3, both conditions size is less than or equal to Buffer.poolSize >> 1 (floor of Buffer.poolSize divided by two) (size <= 1) and size is less than or equal to Buffer.poolSize divided by two (size <= 1.5) are equal for any integer size.
Or do we explicitly want to specify behavior for cases when floating number is passed as a size?

Thanks for the changes. LGTM |

@mscdex I'm going to pass on landing this due to it being such a big change, and not being 100% if it aligns to the v4.x implementation of buffer. Please feel free to backport |
