How about deploy FIONREAD ioctl?
Through this syscall, we can guess how many “unread” data is remained in the
TCP socket.
Please refer the kernel code at /net/ipv4/tcp.c tcp_ioctl()
As a result we can eliminate "zero read" case which cause malloc() / free()
overhead.

Regarding question #3,
What I really mean was
What will be happen if I delete chunk_allocator.
just worry about the unexpected malfunction in last revision.
