On systems with humongous pages (16GiB) and 32bit int it's easy to hit integer overflow in virNumaGetPages(). What happens is, inside of virNumaGetPages() as we process hugepages for given NUMA node (e.g. in order to produce capabilities XML), we keep a sum of sizes of pools in an ULL variable (huge_page_sum). In each iteration, the variable is incremented by 1024 * page_size * page_avail. Now, page_size is just an uint, so we have: ULL += U * U * ULL; and because of associativity, U * U is computed first and since we have two operands of the same type, no type expansion happens. But this means, for humongous pages (like 16GiB) the multiplication overflows. Therefore, move the multiplication out of the loop. This helps in two ways: 1) now we have ULL += U * ULL; which expands the uint in multiplication, 2) it saves couple of CPU cycles.
