None of them:

struct malloc_chunk /* header on each memory block */

   struct malloc_chunk *next; /* doubly-linked list */
   struct malloc_chunk *prev;
   bool is_free;
   size_t size;

static inline void * get_chunk_ptr
  (
    struct malloc_chunk * chunk
  )
  /* returns pointer to the memory block excluding the header. */
  {
     return
        (void *)(chunk + 1);
  } /*get_chunk_ptr*/

void * malloc
  (
    size_t size
  )
  /* allocates a memory block of the specified size,
    or NULL if none available. */
  {
    struct malloc_chunk * chunk = mm_find_chunk
      (
        /*size = */ size,
        /*type =*/ MM_CHUNK_FREE
      );
    if (chunk == NULL)
      {
        chunk = mm_alloc_chunk(size);
      } /*if*/
    return
        chunk != NULL ?
            get_chunk_ptr(chunk)
        :
            NULL;
