Hi Javier,

one small issue I found for error path while going through changes:

For this error path the the goto label at end doesn't free up
resources correctly.  It needs a

while (--index >= 0)...

logic with appropriate adjustment.

This would need l_mg->emeta_alloc_type check to decide whether
allocation was done with kmalloc or vmalloc.
