First and foremost, the code and corresponding comment weren't in
agreement on what's going on.
The code checks:
RUN_MAX_OVRHD * (bin->mSizeClass << 3) <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD_RELAX
which is equivalent to:
(bin->mSizeClass << 3) <= RUN_MAX_OVRHD_RELAX / RUN_MAX_OVRHD
replacing constants:
(bin->mSizeClass << 3) <= 0x1800 / 0x3d
The left hand side is just bin->mSizeClass * 8, and the right hand side
is about 100, so this can be roughly summarized as:
bin->mSizeClass <= 12
The comment says the overhead constraint is relaxed for runs with a
per-region overhead greater than RUN_MAX_OVRHD / (mSizeClass << (3+RUN_BFP)).
Which, on itself, doesn't make sense, because it translates to
61 / (mSizeClass * 32768), which, even for a size class of 1 would mean
less than 0.2%, and this value would be even smaller for bigger classes.
The comment would make more sense with RUN_MAX_OVRHD_RELAX, but would
still not match what the code was doing.
So we change how the relaxed rule works, as per the comment in the new
code, and make it happen after the standard run overhead constraint has
been checked.
