The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine code-quality change in Bitcoin Core. It changes two helper functions that convert 'MiB' and 'GiB' values into byte counts so they always return a 64-bit unsigned integer instead of a size type that can be 32-bit on some platforms. It also removes runtime overflow exceptions for values that used to be too large on 32-bit systems. There is no security bug being fixed here.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal code-quality/refactoring change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
