We were not handling non-power-of-two sizes, which is now fixed here. We always write trailing padding as zeros to minimize cmpswap failures (though we are tolerant of other values being present). In the future, we could consider potentially also extending that to all padding bytes being zeroed, but typically zeroinit is not the default, so it may not suffice to work.
