Yes, that looks even better to me. Changing value_size to u64 at declaration makes the arithmetic safe everywhere and keeps the code cleaner.

I agree with this version.

Should I prepare a v2 patch with this modification, or will you take it from here?

The intermediate product value_size * num_possible_cpus() is evaluated in 32-bit arithmetic and only then promoted to 64 bits. On systems with large value_size and many possible CPUs this can overflow and lead to an underestimated memory usage.

Cast value_size to u64 before multiplying.

Thanks for the fix. What do you think about this change?
