Hi Everyone,

With a1b4f28, to compute current_space, nbatch is being multiplied
by BLCKSZ. nbatch is int and when multiplied with BLCKSZ, it can
easily overflow the int limit.To keep the calculation safe for
current_space, convert nbatch to size_t.

Please find a patch for the same.

Thanks,

I guess that because earlier in the function, nbatch is always clamped with:

nbatch = pg_nextpower2_32(Max(2, minbatch));
So, in practice, nbatch won’t grow to very big. But yes, if nbatch reaches to, say 1 million, it will overflow.

A simple program proves that changing nbatch to size_t will prevent from overflowing:

```
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
size_t nbatch = 1000000; // 1 million
int BLCKSZ = 8192;
size_t result = 2 * nbatch * BLCKSZ;
printf("%zu\n", result); // will output 16384000000
return 0;
}
```
