Perhaps change the first ps.chunk_size assignment to use DIV_ROUND_UP
instead?

I think DIV_ROUND_UP() will exactly the same problem that if chunk_size is 0, you still got a 0 result. round_up() only if the 2nd argument is a power of 2 while with DIV_ROUND_UP(), the second argument can be any number except 0.
